What is the Fintokei scaling plan?
A scaling plan is the mechanism by which Fintokei increases the size of a funded account after the trader hits a series of profit milestones. It exists for one reason: the firm wants to convert good traders into LARGE traders without giving away capital to unproven ones.
Fintokei is a trading evaluation platform under the Purple Fintech Group (est. 2011), offering multiple program tiers from beginner to professional with up to 100% profit splits via TradingView, MT5, and cTrader.
The scaling plan typically caps at $400,000, which is the largest account size Fintokei will ever manage for a single trader.
How the milestones work
Fintokei grants a scale-up after the trader meets ALL of the following on the existing account:
โข A target percentage gain โ usually 10% above the starting balance โข A minimum number of profitable months โ typically 3 or 4 โข At least one successful payout โ proves the trader can convert P&L into bank cash โข Compliance with all rules during the period โ no breaches of consistency, drawdown, or news-trading
When all four are met, the firm increases the account by a fixed percentage (commonly 25% or 40% of the current size) and resets the milestones for the next tier. The drawdown limits scale up proportionally, but the consistency rule does not โ it is always the same percentage.

A worked example
Start with a $100,000 Fintokei account.
โข Month 1โ4: gain 10% ($10,000), take one payout, no rule breaches โ first scale. โข Month 5: account is now $125,000โ$140,000 depending on the firm's scale step. โข Repeat the same milestones on the new size. โข After 4โ5 scale events the trader is operating an account well above $250,000.
Most traders take 12โ24 months to reach $500,000+ on a scaling plan. Reaching $400,000 takes a multi-year commitment with no extended drawdown.
How to actually use the plan
1. Optimise for SCALE, not for first-payout maximum. Take a small first payout, leave headroom in the account, and chase the milestone instead of the cash.
2. Lock in profits before the month-end snapshot. The firm checks gain at a specific moment โ leaving a winning trade open across the snapshot exposes you to a sudden reversal.
3. Pair scaling with a second account on an uncorrelated strategy. You can typically run multiple Fintokei accounts in parallel, which means you can compound across two or three scaling plans simultaneously.
4. Plan around the consistency rule. Bigger accounts mean bigger absolute daily P&L, which makes the consistency check tighter in dollar terms. See our Fintokei consistency rule guide.
5. Reset expectations every quarter. The traders who succeed at scaling treat it like a 24-month project, not a 30-day sprint.
