Fintokei: StartTrader is one phase, and only $5,000
The StartTrader FAQ prints Updated today. It applies to accounts bought from 21 October 2026. The 21 October post and the StartTrader page use the same numbers. Older StartTrader orders keep the 3-phase book. The new rules are not retroactive.
| Rule | Bought before 21 Oct | Bought from 21 Oct |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | 3 phases | 1 phase |
| Profit target | 2% / 3% / 6% | 3% ($150) |
| Daily loss | 3% | 2% of end-of-day equity |
| First daily-loss hit | Hard breach | Soft Breach until 00:00 UTC |
| Max loss | 6% | 8% static ($400) |
| Consistency | Yes | None |
| Time | 180 days per phase | 3 trading days, 60 calendar days |
| Reward | Dynamic | 80% flat |
| Payout ceiling | Not this cap | $400 across 2 requests |
| Size on sale | Several | $5,000 only |
| Fee | $44 at $5,000 | $34 ($27 with NEW20) |
A Soft Breach closes open positions and switches the account to read-only until 00:00 UTC. The second daily-loss hit is a hard close. The challenge and the funded account each get one Soft Breach. A request still needs 2% ($100) of profit. Profit above the $400 cap is not paid. When the cap is reached the account closes as “Maximum profit reached,” which the FAQ says is not a breach.
Purchase limits, in the FAQ’s wording:
- Only the $5,000 / €5,000 / ¥1,000,000 / 100,000 CZK tier.
- At most two StartTrader buys in a lifetime, and only if no other Fintokei program sits between them.
- Only one StartTrader can be open. The first must be breached, expired, or closed at the cap before a second buy.
- A voucher, gift, or loyalty StartTrader counts as a purchase.
- An ineligible purchase is cancelled.
The voucher page prints leverage of 1:25 on forex, gold, and silver, 1:20 on indices, and 1:10 on other products. News trading is listed with no limits on that card.
The catalog row is now StartTrader $5,000 at $34. The old $20,000, $50,000, and $100,000 StartTrader rows are off the comparator because the firm is not selling them. Those URLs redirect to the $5,000 page. SwiftTrader, ProTrader, and ProTrader Swing fees were not rewritten. NEW20 is still the 20% first-challenge code, and the firm’s own post prices the first StartTrader at $27. BYEBYEFEE was not reprinted on the 22 October FAQ. Its 13 October terms still forbid stacking. Affiliate checkout stays on the Fintokei partner link.
Why the 2% line matters on a news day
On a $5,000 account, 2% is $100 of end-of-day equity. One news candle that marks that loss pauses the account until midnight UTC. It does not fail the challenge. The next session that does it again closes the account. The 8% static floor is $400, so the extra room is in the overall limit, not in a single day. The $400 payout cap is 80% of a 10% gain. After that, the FAQ points the trader at ProTrader or SwiftTrader. Treat this as a first account, not a withdrawal plan.
Audacity: Ability Challenge is 35% off with HALLOWEEN
audacity.capital/ability-challenge on 22 October prints NO TRICKS · 35% OFF ABILITY 2 STEPS and Use code: HALLOWEEN. The Ability Challenge tab shows the sale price and the struck list price. Phase rules on the same page did not move.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
| Size | List | With HALLOWEEN | Cut |

| $5,000 | $49 | $32 | 35% |

| Minimum days | 4 | 4 | None |

The banner names Ability 2 Steps only. Ability One and FTP were not given HALLOWEEN on this pass. Their stored fees were not rewritten. 250M was not on the page. Do not stack it with HALLOWEEN. The code page is Audacity HALLOWEEN. The stored rows are the Ability $5K through the $200K. Affiliate checkout stays on the Audacity partner link.
How this hits a one-step checkout
The 35% line is attached to the 2-step card, the one with a 15% phase-1 max loss. Ability One on the same site is a different book: 10% target, 3% daily, 6% max. Pasting HALLOWEEN into that tab is not what the banner says. Match the total on the Ability Challenge tab before you pay.
Rechecks that did not add a challenge
- FTMO. The trading-updates category still lists 15 October 2026 as the newest CFD and futures notes. No new sized account was on that index.
- The5ers. The homepage card still opens on a $100K 1-Step Pro at $249, with a 10% target, 6% max loss, and 3% daily loss. No new size row was added from that card.
- AquaFunded. The homepage still prints the SPOOKY sale. No new account size was on that page.
- FXIFY. The homepage still labels 2-Phase Pro as new. The launch post is dated 29 April 2026. That program was not re-priced on this pass, so no 2-Phase Pro row was added today.
- Tradeify futures. The 20 October note already records Select 300K V2 at $349. A third-party tracker calling that a cut on 22 October matches the figure already stored. Tradeify futures is not in the comparator. Tradeify FX was not re-priced.
- Apex. The coupon help page still tells a buyer without another code to enter SAVENOW. The section opened for this note does not print an end time. Apex is not in the comparator. No row was added.
