Vest Markets lists 13 account sizes across three programs; we review 13 of them in detail so far. Each figure applies to the exact account shown, not to the whole firm.

We cover 13 Vest Markets accounts, sold as Vest Capital, all for perpetual futures: 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations in four sizes each from $5,000 to $50,000, and Instant accounts, bought without an evaluation, in five sizes from $500 to $50,000. Each is paid for once, in US dollars, and traded on Vest Markets, Vest's own platform, whose perpetual futures cover indices, stocks, crypto, commodities and forex. Every account trades simulated capital, in the evaluation and once funded.

The 1-Step $25,000 account costs $375 one-time, sets a profit target of 10% and has an opening loss allowance of $1,500. Its target, drawdown, daily loss limit and profit split are chosen at purchase; these are the standard build's figures.

The 2-Step $25,000 account costs $90 one-time and sets profit targets of 10% then 5% across its two evaluation steps.

The Instant $25,000 account costs $1,000 one-time and has an opening loss allowance of $1,000. Bought without an evaluation, its figures apply to the funded account from the start.

Minimum days and time limits None: no minimum number of trading days and no time limit, in the Evaluation Phase or once Live.

Instruments and prices

Instruments and prices: Perpetual futures on indices, stocks, crypto, commodities and forex: USDC-margined linear contracts that never expire, with funding settled hourly; the mark price is used for liquidation and the mid price for unrealized P&L and account balances. On Vest Capital accounts XRP is not available; Vest's Overview and FAQ also exclude HYPE, which its leverage table lists at 5x on funded accounts.

Official sources: Vest Markets · Markets (checked 31 October 2026); Vest Markets · Perpetual contract specifications (checked 31 October 2026); Vest Markets · Vest Capital overview (checked 31 October 2026); Vest Markets · Frequently asked questions (checked 31 October 2026); Vest Markets · Cross margin and leverage (checked 31 October 2026).

About this fact. Which perpetual contracts or other price-exposure instruments the firm offers in this market, on which underlying assets, where their prices come from, and the venue or market they follow where the firm says.

Restricted means allowed only within a limit specific to the practice, given beneath it.Restricted means allowed only within a limit specific to the practice: the ⓘ beside a value gives it, with any other condition. A cell across both rows applies to both stages. Not stated means the firm does not say on the pages we read; it is not a permission. A program’s sizes share a column when their permissions read the same; a size that differs has its own. No evaluation means the account is funded from the start.

About this fact. The currencies the firm offers accounts in for this market, and how sizes and prices differ between them. The price you pay may be in another currency.

Resets

Resets: No reset: a breached account closes permanently, and trading again means buying a new account.

Official source: Vest Markets · Vest Capital loss limits (checked 30 October 2026).

About this fact. Whether and when the firm lets you restart an evaluation account from its starting balance for a fee, and the terms it states. The fee for each size is in its program's table under Programs and accounts.

Options and add-ons

Options and add-ons: 1-Step accounts are built at purchase: profit target 5%, 10% (standard), 15% or 20%; maximum drawdown 6% (standard), 7% or 8%; daily loss limit none (standard), 3%, 4% or 5%; profit split 70%, 80% (standard), 90% or 95%. A lower target, a wider drawdown or a higher split costs more; a higher target or a daily loss limit costs less. The price of each single change is listed with each size; choices made together are priced as a whole, not as the sum of their changes. 2-Step and Instant accounts have no options.

About this fact. What the firm lets you add to an account when you buy it, such as swap-free trading or a higher reward share, what each option changes and on what terms. The price of each option for each size is under its program's table in Programs and accounts. Our reviews cover accounts without options.

Payment methods

Payment methods: A one-time payment through Stripe checkout in US dollars, by card or, under its further options, crypto; or from a Vest Payout Balance (profit claimed from a funded account and affiliate commission). Deposits and the Primary Account balance cannot pay for an account.

Payouts

Crypto/Perps

Payout methods

Payout methods: USDC, in two steps: a profit claim credits the trader's share to the Primary Account in USDC within 24 hours; a withdrawal then sends USDC to an external wallet, on Base or Arbitrum One for accounts opened by email or Google, or any chain shown for wallet accounts. Withdrawals have a 24-hour processing period and a 1 USDC minimum.

Official sources: Vest Markets · Claiming profit (checked 30 October 2026); Vest Markets · Withdrawals (checked 30 October 2026).

About this fact. How the firm says it sends payouts in this market, with the limits and fees it states. When a payout can be requested is a rule of each account.

Initial profit share

1-Step · 4 sizes, $5,000 to $50,000: 80%
2-Step · 4 sizes, $5,000 to $50,000: 80%
Instant · 5 sizes, $500 to $50,000: 95%

First and later payouts

All 13 Crypto/Perps accounts: On demand: a profit claim can be submitted at any time, as often as you like, with no threshold before the first; open positions or orders may need closing first.

Payout minimums and caps

All 13 Crypto/Perps accounts: No minimum and no cap on a profit claim. A withdrawal from the Primary Account to a wallet has a 1 USDC minimum, and withdrawals over $50,000 in a rolling 24 hours wait 24 hours.

Funded consistency rules

All 13 Crypto/Perps accounts: None: no consistency rule, no cap on profit from a single day and no minimum trading days.

After a payout

1-Step · 4 sizes, $5,000 to $50,000: The maximum drawdown floor stays fixed: a claim lowers the balance, not the floor.
2-Step · 4 sizes, $5,000 to $50,000: The maximum drawdown floor stays fixed: a claim lowers the balance, not the floor. The daily loss floor is lowered by the full amount of a transfer out.
Instant · 5 sizes, $500 to $50,000: The maximum drawdown floor stays fixed: a claim lowers the balance, not the floor.

Payout processing fees

All 13 Crypto/Perps accounts: None on a profit claim: the split is applied "with no further fees or deductions". Vest names no fee for withdrawals.

Published processing time

All 13 Crypto/Perps accounts: A profit claim is credited to the Primary Account in USDC within 24 hours; a withdrawal to an external wallet then has a 24-hour processing period. Vest's homepage says "Withdrawals hit your wallet immediately".

About this fact. Trustpilot's own TrustScore for the firm, out of 5, with its review count and the date we read it. It is Trustpilot's figure, not ours, and we never use it to rank or rate firms. Reviews come from people who choose to post them, firms can invite customers to review, and Trustpilot says it does not fact-check reviews. When Trustpilot shows an alert on the firm's profile, we show it with the score, word for word, with Trustpilot's name for its type. When Trustpilot shows no score for the firm, we say so and quote what it shows instead, with any alert, and show none of the review figures. A score says nothing about any one account's rules or payouts.
