Vest Markets Review

Quick answer

Vest Markets is listed on Prop Firm Audit as a crypto prop firm. Its proprietary account program, Vest Capital, offers configurable 1-Step evaluations, fixed 2-Step evaluations and Instant accounts. Traders use a web platform for perpetual instruments referencing crypto and other asset classes, with USDC-based profit transfers.

Use coupon code 24AUDIT for the publisher-supplied 10% discount on account purchase fees. The standard $5,000 1-Step configuration costs $40 before the offer and $36 after a 10% reduction. A $500 Instant account is listed at $10, giving a calculated $9 fee when the code is accepted.

Vest Markets at a glance

What does “funded” mean here?

Vest's prop terms updated 14 October 2026 describe every program account, including Instant, as simulated. The account size represents a virtual program balance. Traders can earn compensation under the account rules, but the balance itself is not withdrawable capital.

Some overview pages use language about real capital. For this review, the current prop agreement is the basis for describing the program. Buyers should read the agreement attached to their order and resolve any conflicting product description with Vest.

Vest Markets coupon code 24AUDIT

Coupon code: 24AUDIT Listed offer: 10% off all account purchase fees Example: $40 regular fee − $4 saving = $36 calculated final base fee

The offer details come from the publisher. The fee calculations below use Vest's official account schedule; the order summary must confirm that 24AUDIT is accepted on the selected configuration.

The discount reduces the purchase cost. It does not increase the account size, improve the profit share, remove a loss rule or reduce perpetual funding charges. Read the full Vest Markets coupon page for all 43 documented configuration prices and their calculated final fees.

How the evaluation accounts work

1-Step: configurable target, daily loss and profit share

The 1-Step purchase combines three account sizes with two targets, three daily-loss settings and two profit shares. A 10% target needs less evaluation profit than a 20% target, while the higher-target configuration can cost less to buy.

For example, Silver with a 20% target, 3% daily loss and 80% share is listed at $25, or $22.50 with the 10% calculation. Standard Silver costs $36 after the same discount but has a 10% target. The lower purchase fee therefore comes with a larger performance requirement.

Selecting no daily loss limit costs more than a comparable configuration with a daily rule. The 6% overall loss floor still applies. A 90% profit share also changes the price; compare the whole order before deciding whether the higher share justifies the extra fee for your expected results.

2-Step: lower fee, two performance stages

The fixed 2-Step account uses a 10% first-stage target followed by 5% in the second stage, a 3% daily loss limit and an 80% trader share. Its regular fees are $15, $35 and $90 for Silver, Gold and Platinum.

For a $10,000 account, the two stage targets correspond to $1,000 and $500 respectively. These are performance requirements within the program. Evaluation-stage gains are not a cash withdrawal balance.

Instant: no evaluation target

Instant skips the evaluation stage and publishes a 95% share. It offers the quickest route into the compensation stage, but its loss allowance is tighter than the evaluation path: the public schedule lists $10 on the $500 account and 4% on the three larger sizes.

A $9 calculated entry fee can look inexpensive, but the $500 headline balance should be compared with the small published risk allowance. Buying an Instant account does not guarantee a payout.

Static drawdown and daily loss rules

Overall loss floor

Evaluation accounts have a fixed overall loss allowance equal to 6% of starting capital. The published floors are $4,700 for Silver, $9,400 for Gold and $23,500 for Platinum. That overall floor does not trail upward after profits.

The practical comparison is the distance between current equity and the account's active floor. On a fresh $10,000 evaluation, the $600 overall allowance is the relevant starting risk budget. The advertised $10,000 balance is not the amount a trader can lose.

Daily loss is a separate calculation

Where selected, the daily loss boundary resets at 20:00 New York time. Its reference balance includes reserved collateral and excludes unrealized profit and loss. The rule checks current equity, which includes open-position results.

The daily floor is the reset balance multiplied by one minus the chosen loss rate, adjusted for net non-trading transfers. With a $10,000 reference balance and a 3% rule, the daily floor is $9,700 before transfers. Falling below an applicable floor permanently closes the account. A no-DLL purchase removes this daily test, while retaining the overall limit.

Markets, platform and trading hours

Vest uses a proprietary web interface rather than a conventional MT4 or MT5 account. BTC and ETH perpetual markets sit alongside equity, index, commodity and currency reference markets. PFA's Crypto classification describes the platform and settlement model.

Crypto trades continuously through weekends. Non-crypto instruments have scheduled closures. Positions held into a locked session remain open and cannot be adjusted until the market resumes, so a trader should plan holding risk before that closure.

The program documentation currently excludes XRP and HYPE and says API trading is unavailable on evaluation and funded program accounts. The available symbol list should be checked in the actual account.

Leverage and cross margin

Leverage caps depend on both the market and account type. Vest's general marketing and detailed tables are not fully consistent about every cap, so use the account's order screen for the selected symbol.

Cross margin combines risk across open positions. Two correlated trades can consume the same account equity buffer at the same time. A high permitted leverage setting should not be treated as a sensible position-size target.

Trading fees and perpetual funding

The published fee schedule lists zero maker fees, 0.0025% taker fees for ES, NQ, RTY and YM, and 0.01% taker fees for other markets. On a $10,000 crypto taker execution, 0.01% is $1; another execution can add another charge.

Perpetual funding is settled hourly. A positive rate means longs pay shorts; a negative rate reverses that direction. This holding cost is separate from the purchase fee and should be considered when planning overnight positions.

A useful comparison includes the entry fee, expected executions, holding costs and the cost of another attempt after failure. A purchase coupon addresses only one part of that budget.

Profit share, claims and USDC withdrawals

The documented share is 80% or 90% on 1-Step, 80% on 2-Step and 95% on Instant. At $200 of recognized program profit, those percentages correspond to $160, $180 or $190 before account-specific conditions.

The current guide describes two separate actions:

1. Submit Claim Profit from the funded program account. The guide states 24-hour processing to the Primary Account.
2. Request a withdrawal from the Primary Account to an external USDC wallet.

External withdrawals have a published 1 USDC minimum. The withdrawal guide adds a 24-hour processing period to a request that pushes the rolling 24-hour total above $50,000. Check the destination address and supported chain carefully.

Refunds, account access and support

The published overview describes refund requests within three days when no trades have been placed. Starting to use an account can end that refund route. A breached account requires a new purchase; the coupon does not include a free retry.

The current prop agreement requires adults to meet identity, location and account-access conditions. A wallet connection alone does not override those checks. Exact incorporation age, support response guarantees and a firsthand payout reliability assessment are not established by this review.

Advantages and limitations

PFA editorial assessment

Vest Markets is worth comparing for traders who already understand perpetual instruments, USDC transfers and account-level equity limits. Its configurable 1-Step path makes the price-versus-rules tradeoff visible, while 2-Step offers a lower entry fee and Instant removes the evaluation target.

The account should be selected around the target and usable loss allowance first. Compare those rules with the strategy's expected losing streak and holding period, then calculate the fee with 24AUDIT. A smaller purchase price alone does not demonstrate that a configuration will be easier to trade successfully.
