If you want to challenge a prop firm but are anxious about paying money right away… Here’s some good news. By using Fintokei’s free trial, you can experience a prop firm with zero risk.
This article will thoroughly explain the “3 account strategy” to maximize the use of the free trial. Let’s aim for a one-time pass by experiencing failures “for free”.

What is the Prop Firm Free Trial? Explaining the Mechanism
Teacher, prop firms cost quite a lot of money, don’t they? I’m afraid to pay 20,000 yen right away… 😰
I understand that feeling very well. That’s why there’s a free trial. At Fintokei, you can experience all the functions of the challenge without paying a single yen.
The free trial refers to the “trial account” provided by prop firms. You can practice in the same trading environment (spread, execution speed, rules) as the live paid challenge.
Features of Fintokei’s free trial:
- ✅ Completely free (no credit card registration required)
- ✅ Same rules as the live challenge (same profit target, drawdown limit)
- ✅ Can be reset as many times as you want (can immediately re-challenge after failing)
- ✅ No reward even if you pass (it’s just for practice)
💡 Point
The “investment” is in failing the free trial. The “loss” is in failing the paid challenge. The value of the same failure is completely different.
Why is “Paid Right Away” Dangerous? Looking at Failure Rates with Data
Let’s look at the reality of prop firms in numbers. Generally, the success rate of prop firm challenges is around 10-20%. In other words, 4 out of 5 people fail.
Suppose you tried the Fintokei challenge plan (2 million yen course, ¥21,800) 3 times without any preparation:
| Attempt | Cost | Result | What I learned |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | ¥21,800 | Exceeded daily loss of 5% on day 3 → Failed | Learned the severity of the rules for the first time |
| 2nd | ¥21,800 | Reached maximum loss of 10% in 2 weeks → Failed | Strongly felt the importance of risk management |
| 3rd | ¥21,800 | Achieved profit target of 8% → Passed! | The experience of the 1st and 2nd attempts paid off |
Total Cost: ¥65,400 (3 times the examination fee)
But what if you had experienced failure in the free trial first?
| Attempt | Cost | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Free Trial × 3 Accounts | ¥0 | Completed rule understanding, method verification, and live simulation |
| Paid Challenge 1st Attempt | ¥21,800 | Passed with sufficient preparation! |
Total Cost: ¥21,800 (¥43,600 savings = 67% cost reduction)
The numbers make it clear, doesn’t it? Experiencing failures first for free can dramatically reduce the number of failures in the paid challenge. This is the essence of the “failure cost insurance”.

Wow, it’s that simple!? No need for a credit card, so I can relax. Which plan do you recommend starting with?
I recommend starting with the Challenge Plan. It has the most users and standard rules. It’s also optimal for trying the 3 account strategy.
3 Account Strategy for Free Trials | The Secret to Conquering Prop Firms
It’s a waste to just use the free trial “vaguely.” Here, I’ll introduce a strategy of using 3 different accounts for specific purposes.
Account 1: For Confirming the Rules (Intentionally Fail)
In the first account, intentionally violate the rules to experience failure. Knowing the moment of failure becomes the biggest insurance for the live challenge.
Specifically, do the following:
- Reach a daily loss of 5% → Experience the “feel” of the failure line
- Let the position reach a maximum loss of 10% → Experience the account suspension process
- Confirm the trading day rule → Experience how many days of trading are required
⚠️ Important
“Intentional failure” is an experience that can only be done in the free trial. Do not do this in the paid challenge under any circumstances. Knowing the reality of failure in the free trial greatly increases your survival rate in the live challenge.
Account 2: For Testing Strategies (Verify if Your Method Works)
In the second account, test whether your trading method works within the rules of the prop firm.
- Trade with your usual method → Confirm if the drawdown stays within the rules
- Adjust the lot size → Verify the compatibility with the risk management rules
- Check the trading time zone → Check the times when the spread tends to widen
- Select the currency pair → Verify using favorite instruments like gold or USD/JPY
Account 3: For Live Simulation (Aim to Complete STEP1)
In the third account, aim to complete
