It should never matter if a prop is sustainable or not I’ll be honest. Most of you have been brainwashed and forgot the reason that we trade in the first place, which is real financial freedom. If you trade on a Prop firm, you are an employee of that prop firm and if they shut down you’re cooked so stop worrying about if a Prop firm is going to keep it’s doors open or not and get your money while it’s available and put it into long-term investments or a personal broker. Props are just a stepping stone, but you guys want to stay on them for life because you’re scared to invest in yourself.

Next week we will be dropping a perps plan at MyFundedFutures A trial with the nearly the same rules you are seeing today become so popular Should I release the stats after to the public to prove whether A booking every single one of the traders would work?

In the past two weeks, nearly 1 in 3 Vest traders got a payout. And yes, it's sustainable. Once again, unlike other prop firms, we don't lose money when our traders win.

hey @PropJournalist! Your questions are completely valid and not accusatory at all! let me spend some time drafting a proper answer for this as it seems to be a topic that causes a lot of confusion / controversy.

When you say all traders are a-booked, in a traditional sense I would understand that as all traders have their trades executed on live markets. You imply this where you said 'We are the only A-Book prop firm. We win when our traders win.' x.com/perpv2/status/20926190… For you to win when traders win the trades need to be executed where you are not the counterparty. This explanation of traders being in what you call “live” mode and putting them on your exchange book doesn't sound what I would call a-book. Also why the quotation marks around live, are funded accounts live, or not?. As far as I can understand, a-booking every funded trade, and winning when funded traders win (for every funded account) is not possible. First of all, the volume is too large, second it's a guaranteed way to lose money given the profit split setup. I would love to understand what exactly you mean by a-book and how you win when funded traders win (and presumably lose when they lose). x.com/perpv2/status/21050021… Hope this doesn't sound to accusatory. I am sceptical, but honestly do want to understand your explanation how this works.

I gave Claude one sentence: "My live Meta is the benchmark. Build me a second one for another prop firm, with completely different strategies, uncorrelated and check everything for robustness." It took the 80 strategies I already had in the repo and tested 3,300 combinations across 2018-2022 and 2022-2026. NinjaTrader was too slow for that. So it built its own backtest engine to do it. I never asked for that. This is the scariest part. The result: a 10 strategy Meta with 0.25 correlation to my live one. Live Meta: $3,336/month, 94 of 105 months paid. New Meta: $2,877/month, 92 of 105 months paid. Two books that don't lose in the same months. That's the part that's scary. Not that it can code. That it decides what the problem needs.
