I made a video showing how to properly size your trades for futures, options and perps using the risk calculators at prop firm trend.
And apparently somewhere between hitting record and opening my mouth, I turned into one of those early 2000s infomercial people. 😭😂
“ARE YOU TIRED OF BLOWING ACCOUNTS? HAVE YOU TRIED POSITION SIZING? BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!”
I’m surprised I didn’t end it with “ACT NOW AND WE’LL THROW IN A SECOND RISK CALCULATOR ABSOLUTELY FREE! BECAUSE APPARENTLY ONE WASN’T ENOUGH TO STOP YOU FROM BLOWING YOUR ACCOUNT!” 🤣
And yes, I know I look uncomfortable on camera. I have terrible stage fright. Nobody is holding me hostage, nobody is forcing me to do this and no, you don’t need to watch how many times I blink to make sure I’m okay. 😭😂
I’m just trying to teach y’all how to manage risk while looking like I need someone to come rescue me. LMAOOO

How much does Vest have sitting in its withdrawal contracts right now? Check it yourself.
Proof of Payout tracks Vest's confirmed withdrawal contracts live: the balance, every payout to traders, and every refill as money comes in. All on-chain, all verifiable. You can also post your proof of payout cards.
Think of it as the cash register, not the bank. Firms keep a few days of payouts online and refill as money goes out. The real signal is payouts going out on time, every day.

The affiliate discourse will never not make me laugh. 😭
Some of the loudest people criticizing affiliates have sold Discords, signals, courses, subscriptions, coaching—or taken partnerships with big fat retainers where they get a guaranteed check upfront.
But somehow the person who spends hours researching, creating educational content, answering questions, teaching and live trading FOR FREE is the greedy one because they have… a referral code?
Be serious. 😂
I don’t get paid upfront to research. I don’t charge you to watch me trade. I don’t put every useful piece of information behind a paywall. I give away more of my time and knowledge for free than I ever get paid for.
If somebody finds value in what I do and chooses to use my code, I might make something. If they don’t, I make $0.
Meanwhile, some of the same people criticizing that won’t lift a finger unless there’s guaranteed money attached to it.
And the “I use prop firms, I just don’t use affiliate codes” crowd might be my favorite.
Cool. 😂
You’ll use the research.
You’ll watch the content.
You’ll learn from the breakdowns.
You’ll ask questions.
You’ll take the information.
You’ll happily support the company you’re buying from—you just make a point of bypassing the person who spent their own time helping you make an informed decision.
That’s like telling your server:
“I loved the service. You answered every question, explained the menu and took care of me all night. I’m absolutely paying the restaurant.
I just don’t believe in tipping.”
The audacity isn’t even the funniest part.
It’s the privilege of believing your own time deserves guaranteed compensation while someone else’s should apparently be donated to you indefinitely. 😭

So I am getting a lot of dms about .@VestExchange sizing and what perps are... below is a small cheat sheet...
How to read these 👇
Perps have two settings that work together: the multiplier (5x, 10x, 25x, 50x) and the % buttons (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
The multiplier decides the biggest position your account is allowed to open. On a $25K account, 10x lets you open up to $250K. 50x lets you open up to $1.25M.
The % buttons decide how much of that biggest position you actually use. 100% uses all of it. 25% uses a quarter of it.
So on a $25K account:
50x at 25% = a quarter of $1.25M = $312K = 5 MNQ
25x at 50% = half of $625K = $312K = 5 MNQ
Same trade, different buttons.
Chart 1 is a $1,500 max drawdown. Chart 2 is a $750 max drawdown. Both use a 20-point stop and show what one stop costs, how many losses you survive before the drawdown ends the account, and how many wins it takes to pass. Cyan is the sweet spot. Orange blows fast.
With $1,500 of drawdown, 4–5 MNQ is the sweet spot. With $750, it's 2 MNQ.
Find your drawdown, find your row, and pick the multiplier where 100% is the biggest position you'd ever want. Then one wrong tap can't oversize you. 📌
Let me know in the comments if you want me to hold a short webinar on Saturday at 11am ET on how to trade Vest Markets and how Perps work...
