i'd happily blow 375 out of 500 vest evals 💨 because the other 125 still put me up $33,750 math below the account $25k 1-step, 20% target, no daily loss limit, 90% split $285 with code DGT $1,500 static drawdown buy 500 of them, thats $142,500 125 pass, 375 go straight to the graveyard $142,500 / 125 = $1,140 so every account that passes only has to pay you $1,140 and you're at break even. vest gives you $1,500 of room on each one to get there works for any build btw. eval price / pass rate = what each funded account needs to pay you. pass 1 in 4 and every winner has to pay back 4x what the eval cost i simmed it 20,000 times. $300 risk per trade at 1:2, win rate set so only 1 in 4 evals pass. that comes out to a 33.8% win rate. a literal coin flip at 1:2 is 33.3% you need half a percent of edge lol funded accounts averaged $1,410 after the split 125 x $1,410 = $176,250 back +$33,750 net 94 out of 100 runs ended green this only works because of 3 vest rules no payout buffer. the first dollar you make is claimable. a lot of firms make you build a buffer before your first payout which is basically passing the eval twice. same trader same sim: 77% of funded accounts got paid with no buffer, 46% with a $1,600 buffer no payout cap. this is the big one. 59% of funded accounts paid less than $1,140. the top 20% paid 57% of all the money. the runners pay for the graveyard. cap the runners and the whole thing falls apart static drawdown. your floor gets set when you buy the account and it never moves. claim your profit and you're right back to the full $1,500 of room. on trailing accounts every payout eats into your room ok now the part that'll save some of you a lot of money if you're a pure coin flip trader on a static floor with no buffer and no cap, on average you pull out exactly your drawdown before the account dies. $1,500 of room, $1,500 in claims. so to a coin flipper every funded account is worth about its drawdown, and thats the number to hold your eval price up against the coin flip pass rate is drawdown / (drawdown + target) 20% target: 1,500 / 6,500 = 23% 10% target: 1,500 / 4,000 = 37.5% so passing 1 in 4 on the 20% target means you're beating a coin flip. passing 1 in 4 on the 10% target means a coin flip is beating you i ran that one too. 500 accounts, -$77k. 2 out of 20,000 runs finished green instants are the same story. a $25k instant is $950 with DGT and has $1,000 of room at a 95% split. a coin flip gets you $950 back. dead even. you need actual edge for those how i'd actually run it track your pass rate over your last 20+ evals. above the coin flip line keep buying. below it stop buying and go fix your trading once you're clearly over the line move to the 10% target. the same 33.8% trader passes 37% of those and makes about $99 an eval vs $68 on the 20%. that's the $25k no dll 90% build i trade no daily loss limit. a dll kills accounts that still had room left. it's exactly how i lost my first vest account $300 risk on $1,500 of room. 5 straight Ls to kill it claim every green day. claimed money is yours. unclaimed money can still get blown your payout balance can buy the next eval at checkout. let the accounts pay for the accounts vest caps you at 10 funded and 100 evals at a time so 500 takes a while. that's kind of the point real talk tho after 20 evals that same profitable trader is only green 54% of the time. 100 evals, 74%. 500 evals, 94%. the typical run was down around $4k at its worst and 1 in 20 was down $17k before it came back. most people quit right before it starts working and if your funded accounts don't average above break even, buying more just loses faster. volume only scales what you already have, good or bad it's a sim, fees and slippage exist, do your own math 🧮 code DGT gets you 5% off every vest account, evals and instants damnpropfirms.com/go/vest-di…
