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.

Hope this isn’t about me big dawg because I have never said we’re doing it to help traders. It’s always about sustainability and competitive pricing for us

Made $100k with Lucid they offered me $4k 🤣 Live it is LOL

Hey @nehal_rm1 happy to have this conversation with you. Let’s talk about what it means to be a profitable trader. Since September 1, you’ve had 35 PRO+ live trading accounts. You have gone max loss in 21 accounts and you took out profits in 14 accounts. Your live trading resulted in a net loss of $6,100 across all these accounts. So, you are not net profitable - even though you took withdrawals. In total though, you lost $56,000 of our live trading capital (net of the 10% profit share we got on your withdrawals) because of the way you cycled through accounts. It's a good trade for you - you got $67k in payouts from your PRO+ accounts. All the while not actually being a profitable trader in the market. But we're not going to enable this reckless behavior more. All of your max loss accounts happened within a day of the account even opening. In four trading days alone, you lost $89,685 in live trading capital. Did you have some good days? Two. A $30k and a $20k day. And you showed some promise. The second to last set of PRO+ accounts were profitable. That's why we initially gave you an exception for PRO+ Development. We always try to give traders the benefit of the doubt. We're rooting for you. And then you lost $18,000 of live capital in one day on 10/13. The same day those live accounts were opened. So no, right now, we’re not going to give you a full $20k again to lose in live markets. It’s not OK to lose $20k and close your accounts in one day. And we think you know that… - @markrmeadows, Director of Trading Risk

I see so many people arguing about who is and who is not a shill. The space needs a change. I propose ranked competitive shilling. We need to track the performance of those that are masters of their craft. Most Shameless Shill Top Ethical Shill Biggest Hypocrite Shill
