- FinTokei is one of the few major prop firms with full Japanese-language support.
- Operating background overlaps with FTMO, which adds reputational weight.
- The evaluation runs in two phases, similar in structure to FTMO’s challenge.
- Recommended for Japanese-native traders who want a prop product without translation friction.
FinTokei’s main appeal isn’t headline terms — those are close to FTMO’s. It’s that the entire experience is built in Japanese from the start. In practice, that removes a lot of friction for traders less comfortable in English.
Why FinTokei
- Japanese-language website, dashboard, and customer service.
- Account currency can be JPY, USD, EUR or CZK, with JPY bank payouts.
- Operator overlap with FTMO, carrying credibility forward from an established brand.
Step-by-step
Step 1 — Register at fintokei.com
Account creation requires basic identification. KYC (identity verification) is completed before the evaluation begins.
Step 2 — Pick an account size
On the Japanese site, the smallest ProTrader account is ¥1M for ¥12,500 and the largest is ¥50M for ¥309,800 (tax included, checked 2026-09-26); the USD site’s ProTrader runs from $5K ($49) to $400K. The cheapest entries overall are SwiftTrader Iron (¥9,800) and StartTrader Beginner (¥10,000), but both have tighter loss limits.
Step 3 — Complete the 2-step evaluation
- Phase 1: +8% profit target.
- Phase 2: +6% profit target.
- Both phases: -5% daily loss limit, -10% overall loss limit, minimum 3 trading days, no maximum duration (checked 2026-09-26 on the ProTrader page).
Step 4 — Get funded
After passing both phases, you trade a simulated funded account with an 80% profit split on ProTrader. The Scaling Dojo (started 3 June 2026) can later add capital but does not raise the split. The plan fee is refunded only after reaching the Dojo’s White belt (20 trading days and 2 payout requests), minus any coupon discount, and StartTrader is not eligible (Japanese FAQ checked 2026-09-26; Fintokei’s English FAQ still says the old scaling ended on 21 January 2026). Do not budget on getting it back.
How FinTokei compares to alternatives
- For Japanese support: FinTokei is the natural pick.
- For maximum reputation: FTMO has the longer operating record.
- For a one-step format from a veteran operator: The5%ers runs the one-step Hyper Growth (its old Instant Funding product was discontinued in 2026).
Risks to flag
FinTokei is a younger firm — operating since 2022 — and rule updates land relatively often. There are no guarantees of passing or of long-term operator stability. Read current terms before purchasing.
