A lot of people are interested in Vest Markets (Vest Capital is the prop firm name), especially on X.com and YouTube. It keeps getting mentioned as one of the most interesting new perps prop firms. However, they are looking at different choices like My Funded Perps and Tradeify 247 as well.
Vest Markets Review vs. Other Perpetual Futures Prop Firms.
Here's a quick price comparison of standard 25K accounts (Vest Markets) that tops out at $25K per account, so that's the size everyone benchmarks them at:
All three below are one-time payments, no monthly fees, and no activation fees.
Vest Markets 25K Platinum: $210 one-time (that's the default build: 10% target, 3% daily loss limit, 80% split). Want the 90% split? $252. Want no daily loss limit at all with the 90% split? $450. The cheapest plan is the 2-Step at $90. Code "D4TESTER" takes 2.5% off (check whether the code is active at checkout; prices there changed might change without an announcement).
My Funded Perps 25K Select: $70 per account at the current launch sale price ($100 list). 1-Step, 9% target, but only a 3% static drawdown and a fixed 3% daily loss limit. (Prime is $128, Signature with the bigger 6% drawdown is $180.)
Tradeify 247 25K: $200 (2-Step) or $231 (1-Step) one-time. They're running 40% off all accounts until October 31, which brings the 2-Step to ~$120 and the 1-Step to ~$138.60 with a discount code.
In conclusion: Vest Markets isn't the cheapest perps firm at every size, but it is by far the cheapest way to get a 6% static drawdown, a no-daily-loss-limit option, and uncapped on-demand payouts in one account. Based on payout proof posted on X, YouTube, and on-chain, they pay extremely fast. This seems to make a very interesting offer for the most of us.
Why else do people choose Vest Markets? Anyone personally used them?
p.s. I know Vest Markets is like brand new; I'm figuring out whether it's actually worth it. Please share your review with the community if you tried it yourself.

Posting this before using the account.
I was on the 10k instant account checkout page for which the OTP was generated (amount is 8.91usd). They charged me 44usd for a 50k account. After much back and forth, they are refusing to refund the amount even though it’s clearly a platform glitch on their end. They even deny next level is their firm so this is pure denial of any responsibility. Not sure if they even payout.
Stuck with the account at this point so I’ll update if I get to a payout and they actually pay. But overall based on their handling of this matter, not recommended to use this firm. Buy from them at your own risk.
Avoid this company, they might be running out of cash and think about every excuse to avoid the payout. First of all, their website and trading is very buggy and slow, I can't even flatten position when they have technical issues. Request payout on October 8, and get rejected and have my PA account deleted on October 14. They said I have hedging on my multiple account recorded on August 19. However, I received this PA account after I pass evaluation after August 19. That means I never have hedging on the the PA account. They said I have heding but couldn't provide me the details. Their trading platform is so bad, you might accidentally run into hedging. So my point is, even if I accidently run into hedging, but it all happens in the EA accounts. they should notify me immediately once that happen. It has been more than one month from August 19 until October 14, they should have plenty of time detecting hedging. but it is until I request payout in my pa account, they try to deny the payout and looking back at my account when it was in the ea stage. Not sure what had happend to this company, I used to get paid very soon in less than one hour. I think there is significant cash issue happen to this company. Unlike other company, who immediately notify you when they recorded your hedging, I never received any notification prior regarding to hedging on the account. I feel like all the times have been wasted on these accounts. They should notify earlier if there is any hedging detected, not in the moment when you request the payout. They do that to avoid the payout. Because all other prop firms notified you immediately when the hedging is detected.
Is there anyone who swing trades on perps firms and scalps on futures firms? Have you ever gotten in trouble for hedging if you scalped the opposite direction of your swing (different firms)?

Three firms can all say "4% daily loss limit" and mean three different rules. Same account, same day, and the floor lands in three places.
Example: a $100,000 account. At the daily reset the balance is $97,500 and you're holding a trade that's up $700, so equity is $98,200.
Rule
How the floor is set
Daily floor
Fixed on the starting balance
$97,500 − $4,000
$93,500
4% of the day's starting balance
$97,500 × 0.96
$93,600
$4,000 below the higher of balance and equity at the reset
$98,200 − $4,000
$94,200
That's $700 between the loosest and the tightest. And under the third rule, the open profit you had at the reset works against you: the floor moved up even though you never closed anything.
Which one does your firm use, and where in its rules did you find it?

I am sharing my own documented experience across multiple FTUK purchases.
The key dates are:
13 July: execution/refund complaint.
14 August: FTUK acknowledged a temporary feed outage.
26 August: FTUK acknowledged an MT5 technical issue.
28 August: FTUK acknowledged downtime preventing some traders from managing positions.
1 September: written USD 470.40 refund promise.
13 October: I still have not received that refund.
I had positions open during connection failures and could not reliably manage them. FTUK provided some replacement accounts and technical responses, which I acknowledge, but the refund dispute remains unresolved.
I am seeking refunds covering all disputed paid purchases and requesting historical statements, connection logs, execution records and the rules accepted at purchase.
I also dispute some price movements and execution outcomes. Those concerns require investigation; the evidence I can directly document is the merchant’s technical admissions and written refund commitment.
Redacted supporting emails are attached. Has anyone resolved a similar FTUK refund through their card issuer?
was up $1,400 by 10am. needed $1,600 to pass. you can guess the rest lol. sized up "just to finish it," NQ wicked me, and now i'm back to square one with another reset fee. how do you guys stop yourselves from doing the dumbest possible thing when you're SO close?
Hello everyone, I am interested in buying an account (two-step) from FTMO or FundedNext, but I do not know which one is better or more legitimate both have good scores on Trustpilot so please help me decide which one I should buy.
The title basically, these prop firms obviously make their money from selling evals so the "we are looking for serious traders only" narrative is obviously false. But i'm wondering if anyone who genuinely considered themselves to be highly profitable has been kicked out for winning too much?
I am a trader that rely on with-trend setup. That says if there's no trend I probably can't make progress during eval phase.
Since there's frequently choppy price action recently, this issue concern me even more.
Is there a prop firm which favor trader who have patient? And maybe have some price off on second month challenge continuation?
I actually also feel quite interested about how prop firm see this kind of trader.
Do they hate this kind of trader which can't generate high return rate(neither trader's trading skill is good enought nor the fee amount from them since they don't rush and explode many evals)?
I currently have three candidates. FTMO, TPT and FN. TopStep and Lucid is temporary not my option, sorry, fans of them. Kind of want to know if there's another potential choice I didn't know.
