Fintokei

Summary

Fintokei is the company that first introduced me to prop firms. I registered on January 26, 2024, and purchased my first challenge the following day. I received a total of about 5,000 USD in payouts without any issues, though my performance was nothing to boast about. I am currently temporarily suspended from making new purchases.

January 26, 2024

I registered with Fintokei and purchased an account the next day. This was my very first prop firm. I failed the challenge.

February 4, 2024

I purchased my second challenge, but failed again.

April 2024

Between April 8 and April 16, I purchased 15 challenges. I honestly do not remember exactly what I was thinking at the time, but I was probably trying to turn things around in one shot. I was risking about 2% to 4% per trade.

April 23, 2024

I submitted my first payout request. I was not sure if I would actually receive the money, so I tested with a small amount — around 100 USD. It was approved in about 10 hours. Looking back now, my other payouts were also approved in roughly half a day.

January 3, 2025

I received a warning email. The email mentioned something related to hedging across different prop firms, but this was not true in my case.

As a result, my leverage was reduced, and my daily loss and profit were both capped at 1%. Additionally, new purchases were temporarily suspended.

However, my active accounts remained usable, and I received several payouts without any issues after that — totaling 5,000 USD.

    Summary I registered on December 1, 2024, and purchased my first challenges on December 3. I have only received one payout of 149 USD so far.
