You also agree to have your trading skills assessed by the company in a proprietary demonstration environment (developed by the company) and against the assessment criteria corresponding to your current trading contract (offer). Unless guaranteed as per your trading contract, we reserve the right to discontinue our relationship with you (the trader). However, we legally do NOT reserve the right to withhold any payment owed to you that was made trading the financial market on your funded account in accordance to your trading contract. We are only exempt from our obligation to pay you (the trader) for the listed reasons on this page, including an act of God such as; the collapse of a brokerage, frozen assets / liquid capital by a bank, desk, exchange, brokerage, software malfunction during an execution from a traders account onto our margin account(s), the company being victim of theft or fraud, etc. In this case, the trader reserves the right to request any supporting documents to prove an act of God has taken place and the company (VST) is making efforts to retrieve the payment into custody of the trader. You are to be made aware that an act of God may cause delayed payouts, and in extreme cases; no payout. The company (VST) will make every effort to ensure the safe keep of a traders payout, by placing "A" book funding in the best possible environment to be entrusted by credible broker(s) & financial institution(s). If possible, to save the relationship of the company and the trader; we may or may not sacrifice a portion of our own capital to reimburse a lost payout depending on the circumstances and on how important a traders skill-sets are to our establishment.

Evaluations

If you breach your maximum loss limit or daily drawdown limit on an evaluation, you are not eligible to re apply for 365 days after the breach; unless given a written exemption by our directors. By the end of your evaluation term, we are not obligated to offer you a trading contract if we feel that your strategy does not align with our appetite. This could be for any reason we or our investors decide on. We may offer you a smaller funded account size or let you retake the evaluation (paid evaluation up to 50% of its profits on a "B-book" or "A-book" environment until officially funded) if we feel that you were close but not good enough. However, this is not an obligation on our end but would simply be an attempt to retain our trader relations with a potential future prospect of our private roster. If our firm has an imbalanced margin by the end of the term, you run the risk of having your contracts issue date delayed. The deposit traders contribute to the liquidity pool via our Percentage Allocation Money Management or Multi Account Manager through our partnered brokers is at risk.

Any additions to these terms will be seen on your trading contract. Both are legally binding. The trading contract should be seen as an extension of our public trading policy. Anything stated on the trading contract triumphs this policy. Nothing from this policy is exempt on your trading contract unless explicitly written and highlighted. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading with the account you directly manage. The funded and evaluation account you directly manage is fake. It is merely virtual funding provided to you in order for you to provide your strategy to us. You as a trader under VST are simply a strategy provider to VST and nothing more unless licensed to be so by a regulator and agreed upon by us. Your trades are automatically and in some cases manually being executed onto live margin accounts (margin account = our live trading accounts, wether that be a personal account with a shareholder or non shareholder or corporate account) with real funding and / or liquidity. You are to handle your accounts with the upmost care and percussion keeping this in mind. By trading an account given by us, you may be indirectly trading real capital by having your trades executed onto our live margin account(s); acting as a strategy provider for the investment services we offer investors. All trading activity conducted by you is indirectly happening on the live market on our margin account(s), and more often then not; produces more profit then you directly generate on your account. By having access to your live executions we are able to generate bigger returns then you directly make. We are only obligated to pay you for what is agreed upon via your trading contract. By no means are we legally required to pay the trader for the realtime investments executed onto our live margin accounts. Traders at "vst.inc" are utilizing our "A" book trading accounts. However, there are occasions where a trader may be asked to preform within a demo environment before being approved to trade our live accounts. Traders will be explicitly told (written or verbally) when they are ether trading under our margin accounts, or are acting in a demo environment as part of an evaluation.
