The scariest part about tomorrow is that people are gonna trade IFVGs and think it’s gonna make them profitable.

⚠️ We will never ban event or news trading on @VestExchange. We will always try to give you the most leverage and trading opportunity we can, while staying sustainable so we can keep doing payouts. That's why Temporary Leverage Limits (TLL) now also apply to Vest Capital accounts around major market events. Events and limits: → Nonfarm Payrolls, CPI and FOMC: $ES, $NQ, $RTY and $YM at 5x, $GC and $SI at 3x → Single-stock earnings: 1x on the reporting stock Each limit runs from 15 minutes before the event to 15 minutes after it. When a limit starts: → You can still open or add to positions, up to the reduced leverage → Limit orders more than 2% above the reduced leverage are cancelled. Reduce Only orders stay, unless the position is reduced or closed → Positions more than 2% above it are reduced to the limit. Margin stays in the position and its size shrinks. Fees and any loss on the reduced part come from that margin → If your account is not in drawdown and covers the new margin, nothing is reduced → If your account is more than 1% below starting capital, those positions are closed in full → Take Profit and Stop Loss orders stay active. Fixed-size orders shrink with the position, so check them afterwards When the limit ends, normal leverage returns. Cancelled orders are not restored and reduced positions keep their new size. To avoid an automatic reduction, reduce or close your positions before the window starts. Full rules: docs.vestmarkets.com/trading…

Three years ago, Prop Firm Match launched. Two traders saw a gap in the market for a platform providing simplicity and transparency for prop firm traders. We developed new features not seen before: verified reviews, payout tracking across all payment methods, live spreads, rule overviews, simple ways to compare prop firms, and prop firm expos. Three years in, PFM has had over 25M website visits, reached over 370,000 members, and has given out free challenge accounts worth over $1,400,000 to the PFM community. Over 100 firms apply to be listed each year and go through one of the industry’s most rigorous compliance processes. We also got something wrong. Until yesterday, when someone clicked on a firm or a code on our site, a new tab would open the firm’s site through our affiliate link. This should not have happened. We take full responsibility for it. We have reached out to each of our partners to review this together and reconcile any inaccuracies. We respect any decisions firms have made based on this. We truly appreciate the partners and traders who value the relationship we have built together over the years. We promise you that we will learn from this, hold ourselves to the highest standard, and come back stronger and better.

Read the whole thing. One question it never answers: who is the market maker? Your definition of A book is orders that "fill against other participants." But anyone CAN take the other side isn't anyone DOES. Vest's NQ book is quoted by one maker posting symmetrical levels all day, and in this morning's snapshots most price levels were only that maker's blocks. So most funded fills hit that one maker. If that maker is Vest, a funded trader winning means Vest losing. That's your own B book definition. Naming the maker settles it in one sentence, and the article doesn't. "Directionally aligned with funded traders" only works if the other side isn't you, and you haven't said it isn't. On the terms: an iTunes nuclear weapons joke isn't the same as your terms saying every account, including instant funded, is "simulated," payouts come from "general corporate funds," you "do not represent that payouts are funded by profitable live trading," and you can "act contrary to Trade Ideas." You also confirmed NQ-USD is less liquid than CME and its tape can look completely different. That's what I showed, and funded accounts get judged on that thinner book at your leverage. So I'll ask again: Who quotes the book? What share of funded volume fills against that maker? How are mark and index calculated? (docs say an aggregate of NASDAQ, NYSE, CME and BlueOcean, you just said the CME feed) How many traders are on real live capital? What is your daily revenue, fees and TVL from the live exchange (not the prop)? That's all public for Vest Classic on DefiLlama: TVL peaked at $31M in Oct 2025 and is about $231K today, down over 99%. Monthly fees fell from $1.53M last August to $32K this month. Why isn't Vest Markets tracked too? Was the rebrand about hiding that? It should be pretty easy for you to answer these and then you would shut every doubter like me up instantly.

I had a meeting with @VestExchange and they said they are still researching the STONK and LANTO Debacle. I made it very clear I will no longer promote VEST and their product after many questions that I had that they cannot answer. There is ZERO chance they are A booking like they claim. It won’t be a question of if but when they will run into liquidity issues.
