Platform overview and trust check
| Audit item | Finding |
|---|---|
| Product | Vest Capital prop programme on the Vest Markets perpetuals platform |
| Markets | Simulated exposure to crypto perpetuals and perpetuals referencing other markets |
| Paths | 1-Step (configurable), 2-Step, Instant |
| Sizes | Evaluations $5K–$25K; Instant $500–$25K |
| Billing | One-time purchase fee |
| Shares | 1-Step 80% or 90% (configured); 2-Step 80%; Instant 95% |
| Overall loss | 6% static of starting capital on evaluations; Instant linked to payment amount |
| Daily reset | 20:00 America/New_York |

| Account status | All programme accounts, including Instant, described as simulated in the prop terms |
| Documentation | Public docs site with tiers, loss limits, claims and terms |
Vest Markets is a trading platform that added a prop programme, so its documentation sits inside the platform docs rather than a separate help centre. The pricing pages are identified as the price source of record.
Account path audit: 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant
| Feature | 1-Step | 2-Step | Instant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | One target, 10% or 20% (configured) | 10% then 5% | None |
| Daily loss limit | 3% or none (configured) | 3% | Per Instant terms |
| Overall loss | 6% static | 6% static | Linked to payment amount |
| Share | 80% or 90% (configured) | 80% | 95% |
| Sizes | $5K, $10K, $25K | $5K, $10K, $25K | $500, $5K, $10K, $25K |
| Time limit | None published | None published | — |
The 1-Step's configuration matrix is unusual: the same $10K account costs $50 (20% target, 3% daily, 80%), $80 (10% target, 3% daily, 80%) or $180 (10% target, no daily limit, 90%). The fee buys a different rule set, not a different balance.
Fee audit with 24AUDIT
| Account | $500 | $5K | $10K | $25K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Step standard (10%/3%/80%) | — | $40 → $36.00 | $80 → $72.00 | $210 → $189.00 |
| 1-Step 20% target variant | — | — | $50 → $45.00 | — |
| 1-Step no-DLL 90% variant | — | — | $180 → $162.00 | — |
| 2-Step | — | $15 → $13.50 | $35 → $31.50 | $90 → $81.00 |
| Instant | $10 → $9.00 | $200 → $180.00 | $400 → $360.00 | $1,000 → $900.00 |
Audit finding: the 2-Step is extraordinarily cheap ($13.50 for $5K) because it requires two phases at a 1.67 and 0.83 target-to-drawdown ratio. Instant is priced near the industry norm for no-evaluation accounts and pays 95%.
Loss-rule audit: 6% static and the daily reset
- Overall floor: 94% of starting capital on evaluations, static. $9,400 on a $10K.
- Daily floor: reset balance × (1 − daily %) at 20:00 New York. Open profit is excluded from the reset balance; current equity including floating P&L is checked against the floor. Withdrawals and non-trading transfers adjust the floor separately.
- From the start, the 3% daily floor ($9,700) is tighter than the 6% overall floor ($9,400), so the daily rule binds first on day one.
- Instant maximum loss is tied to the amount paid; a discounted purchase should be checked for the loss allowance actually issued.
Profit claim audit
| Step | Rule |
|---|---|
| Claim | Profit claimed to the Primary Account at the selected share |
| Processing | Within 24 hours per the claim guide |
| Withdrawal | External wallet withdrawal is a separate step with its own costs |
| Example | $250 approved at 80% = $200; at 90% = $225; at 95% (Instant) = $237.50 |
Claim conditions (minimums, cycles) follow the programme rules in the dashboard; the 24AUDIT code does not change the share.
What the terms say the account is
Vest's prop terms of service (14 October 2026) describe every programme account, including Instant, as simulated. The nominal balance is a performance parameter; the purchase does not place that amount in a withdrawable account. Compensation is paid according to programme rules. This is standard for the industry, but Instant buyers should not read "instant funded" as a brokerage deposit.
Audit verdict
| Category | Score | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Strong | Lowest entry fees audited; 10% off everything |
| Configurability | Strong | Target, daily limit and share are selectable on 1-Step |
| Share | Strong | 90% configurable; 95% on Instant |
| Loss room | Mixed | 6% static is fair; 3% daily binds first; Instant tied to fee |
| Documentation | Mixed | Public docs, but fewer worked examples than larger firms |
| Market scope | Weak | Crypto perps only; sizes cap at $25K |
Vest Markets suits: crypto perpetuals traders who want a very cheap, configurable evaluation or a 95%-share instant account at small size.
Look elsewhere if: you need accounts above $25K, non-crypto markets, or a trailing floor that locks profits.
