Static

Pro and Prime: static floor based on the initial balance, also monitored against floating equity. Direct: trails the highest end-of-day balance, only moves upward and locks at the starting balance after the full drawdown distance is earned. A payout does not lower that floor.

StartTrader (Dynamic Performance reward)

Your performance reward can vary from 50% to 100%, depending on your trading behavior. The system automatically assesses the way you trade, taking into account several aspects of your trading history, such as:

• The number of active trading days
• How you handle your account's leverage
• Your trading background, reflected in the number of payouts
• The consistency of your results, evaluated through your daily gains and losses

ProTrader: 80%

SwiftTrader: 90%

The table shows the base biweekly 80% option. Pro and Prime also offer on-demand 80% and monthly 95% with an advertised 20% surcharge; Direct offers a separately priced biweekly 90% variant. The cycle is selected at purchase and cannot be changed later.

A hard breach forfeits profits and pending payouts. Forex daily-loss-only exception: profits may still be paid if every trade had a stop loss and no trade exceeded 1% of the initial balance in profit or loss.

• StartTrader, ProTrader, Swift: Equity based
• ProTrader Swing: Balance based

Fintokei applies Consistency Rules to promote sustainable trading and prevent gambling-style or high-risk behavior. These rules are used only after warnings and can affect either a single account or a trader's entire profile, depending on the severity. When applied, traders are notified with details about the restrictions and next steps.

• Reduced leverage (e.g., 1:10 for FX, 1:5 for other instruments)
• Daily profit and loss caps (+1% / -1% of starting balance)
• Inability to advance in the Scaling program
• Restrictions on new evaluation program purchases

These rules are intended as a safety layer, not a penalty, and can be lifted after 3–6 months of consistent, responsible trading.

Only StartTrader
