"None in profile" means Journalit's maintained profile has no rule of that kind for this phase. It is not a promise that the firm has none; check the sources below for anything the profile does not model.

How Vest's loss limits work

Breaking either limit closes the account for good.

Max. Drawdown is a fixed floor set from starting capital. It never moves.
On Instant Accounts, the Max. Drawdown equals what you paid.
The Daily Loss Limit is optional on 1-Step, fixed on 2-Step and never on Instant. It resets each day from your closed balance.
Vest checks both limits against equity, so open losing trades count.
No consistency rule, no minimum trading days and no time limit.

How Vest payouts work

Vest calls a payout Claim Profit. Claim any time: no minimum, no cap, no cycle.
Your split goes to your Vest Primary Account. From there you withdraw USDC.
A claim cannot be undone. You may need to close open positions first.

Vest Markets consistency rule

After every trade

Track your Vest Markets account automatically

Journalit updates your drawdown floor, best-day share and payout eligibility from every trade you log. Free, runs in Obsidian on your device. Pro fills in Vest Markets' rules.

How tracking works

Track it free

What this page can't tell you

Vest Markets' dashboard decides whether you pass, breach or qualify for a payout.
Journalit tracks drawdown from recorded trades, not live equity inside a trade.
Journalit shows where you stand. It does not block orders.
Discretionary decisions stay unknown, never counted as met.

Where Vest's own pages disagree, this page shows what each one says.

Not modelled: Equity floors and the 20:00 ET reset

Vest checks Max. Drawdown and, where an account has one, the Daily Loss Limit continuously against equity, which includes unrealised P&L, and resets the Daily Loss Limit at 20:00 ET (America/New_York). Journalit evaluates recorded closed-trade balances grouped by your journal trading-day cutoff, so a breach that happens only in unrealised equity between trades is not detected, and days are cut at your cutoff rather than 20:00 ET unless you set it to match. Firm source

Not modelled: Reaching the floor exactly

Vest's Loss Limits page says equity must fall below a floor to breach it and that equality alone does not breach. Vest's FAQ says the account closes if total account value touches or reaches the Max. Drawdown floor. Journalit treats reaching the floor as a breach. Firm source

Not modelled: Perpetual funding payments

Vest markets are USDC-margined perpetual futures. Funding is exchanged between longs and shorts hourly and changes the account balance that Vest's loss limits use. Journalit includes funding only where you record it, as a trade's swap or as an account cash adjustment. Firm source

Not modelled: Claim Profit conditions

Vest may require open positions or orders to be closed before a Claim Profit request, and processes each claim in 24 hours according to its documentation. The payout check cannot see open positions or processing state. Firm source

Not calculated here: $50,000 accounts

Vest's homepage and checkout catalogue list a $50,000 Instant Account ($2,000 Max. Drawdown) and a $50,000 Emerald evaluation tier ($3,000 Max. Drawdown). Vest's documentation lists capital from $500 to $25,000. These sizes have no profile until Vest's own pages agree. Firm source

Not modelled: Position limits are not monitored

Journalit does not monitor position limits or contract-scaling rules. Check your firm's rules and trading platform.
