Not only Fintokei (Fintokei公式サイト(https://www.fintokei.com/jp/)), a popular prop firm in Japan, but overseas prop firms also hold demo competitions every month.
“I lack capital but want to practice trading”
“Ideally, I’d like to win prize money or a plan challenge opportunity”
If you’re thinking this way, overseas prop firm demo competitions are perfect for you.

↑Comparison of demo competitions between Fintokei and overseas prop firms
Overseas prop firms with luxurious winning prizes are attractive whether the competition is high or low. Since demo competitions at all prop firms are free, you can participate casually, which is great.
Minor Prop Firms Have Fewer Participants, Higher Chances of Winning or Placing High
While major prop firms have over 60,000 entrants in demo competitions, emerging prop firms have around 2,000 participants. For example, TopTierTrader has approximately 4,000 participants, and the winning prize is a luxurious $100,000 plan. It’s recommended for those who want to increase their chances of winning with fewer rivals.

Even with fewer rivals, actually winning a prize builds confidence as a trader. Knowing your position through FunderPro’s demo competition is also very valuable.
Receive Up to 20% OFF Coupons Just for Participating
For example, FXIFY (FXIFY公式サイト(https://fxify.com/)) distributes discount coupons of up to 20% OFF to all demo competition participants.

While it varies by the month you participate, participating in prop firm demo competitions just for the 20% OFF coupon without aiming for first place doesn’t seem bad either.
Since all prop firms are desperate to acquire traders, the system of “distributing coupons to demo competition participants” is likely to become popular among many prop firms including Fintokei.
