Vest CapitalVest Capital 5K Instant: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Vest Capital 5K Instant ranks #3 of the 15 5K perpetuals plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 64. Its strongest part is speed, its weakest is cost.
There is no evaluation: one try costs $200. The funded account needs $100 on a $200 static drawdown (1 in 1.5). Together that is about 1 in 1.5 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $300 on average (the typical plan of this size: $257).
A steady trader making $20 a day gets the first payout after 1 trading days and keeps $1,197 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$300 per first payout14
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
