David Varga, Co-Founder of Purple Trading and Fintokei and Chairman of the Board of FintokeiA trading education and evaluation company, Fintokei is driven by a mission to empower experienced traders and educate aspiring individuals to unleash their full trading potential, regardless of their financial background.
It provides well-capitalized simulated accounts to ambitious traders to learn the craft of trading and hone their skills to earn a living. After assessing their performance, Fintokei prepares high-performing traders to manage larger accounts and connects them with partner-regulated portfolio management companies, helping them launch their careers with a credible track record established through the program.
“With a vision to create equal access for everyone on the planet to trade with substantial capital and showcase their talent, we have built a powerful ecosystem, a culmination of more than 15 years of continuous effort,” says David Varga, Co-Founder of Purple Trading and Fintokei, and Chairman of the Board of Fintokei.
The journey of Fintokei began when its founders recognized that in the Japanese market, many talented traders lacked the capital, tools or discipline needed to maximize their potential. Furthermore, modern prop firm services were experiencing a remarkable surge in demand, leading to a rapid influx of new prop firms, many lacking genuine intentions and expertise.
Powered by an exceptional team, robust trading infrastructure, experience and the Purple Group—symbiotic ecosystem of two brokerage companies, a payment provider, a venture capital fund, the non-profit Purple Foundation—Fintokei brings back a more holistic and serious approach into the industry, democratizing the trading landscape.
Fueling Trading Success
Fintokei provides aspiring traders with comprehensive education through the MyFintokei Edu Zone and updated educational blog articles. These resources are designed to help beginners build a strong foundation. Once they feel ready, they can start their trading journey with a free trial option available across its programs.
The programs are categorized as StartTrader, SwiftTrader and ProTrader–thoughtfully crafted to align with specific trading aspirations and experience levels.
StartTrader is tailored for traders new to the ‘modern prop trading’ space. It is divided into three evaluation phases, each with progressively increasing profit targets—two percent for the first phase, three for the second, and six for the third. It helps traders develop the necessary trading discipline and gradually cope with the objectives of trading evaluations. Throughout the evaluation, traders have to monitor consistent drawdown limits (-5 percent daily, -10 percent overall). Since the profit target on 1st phase is only 2 percent and the tolerated drawdown is -5%, traders have quite a big wiggle room to experiment with strategies and refine their trading style.
Fintokei introduces dynamic performance review (DPR)—a revolutionary feature of StartTrader that rewards consistent trading. Instead of just offering a fixed profit split, clients can earn a profit split ranging from 50 to 100 percent depending on how consistent they are. DPR score determined by 4 key metrics—number of trading days, margin level, experience factor, consistency factor—is displayed on the dashboard in the MyFintokei client area to gauge payout progress or challenge completion.
Traders can leverage SwiftTrader to start building their verified track record and get paid even during the evaluation phase. The program strengthens their skills to trade with larger capital right from the beginning. With no daily drawdown limits, traders can withdraw 50 percent of the earnings after achieving 10 percent profit.
Equally impressive is ProTrader program, adept at catering specifically to the needs of experienced traders. It provides a fast track to trading with significant capital at affordable prices and features a two-phase evaluation— Phase 1 has an eight percent profit target and Phase 2 has six. Traders can trade with an account size of up to €400,000. Once evaluation is completed, they enjoy an 80 percent profit split on their earnings. Traders maintaining a steady 10 percent profit over two months can scale their accounts, eventually reaching a remarkable $4 million in capital with a 95 percent profit split. For seasoned traders, Fintokei offers access to capitalized accounts within weeks, which would typically take years to build with a standard broker.

The substantial payouts, which exceeded 14M Euro in
2024, demonstrates the company’s dedication to rewarding success. With client-centricity ingrained in its DNA, Fintokei ensures complete transparency in its reward system and extends moral support to traders who fail to qualify for performance rewards.
The triad–transparency, reliability and flexibility–is the core values that drive Fintokei’s success. Understanding that every trader is unique, the team is highly flexible to quickly respond to market dynamics and imposes as few rules or limitations on traders as possible. Flexibility comes with responsibility, and the team takes personal accountability for the future of the company.
Steering ahead, it plans to take trading education a notch higher. Fintokei continues to align with its vision of democratizing trading with a holistic approach combining education, evaluation, and empowerment, accelerating traders' journeys to lasting success.
