Vanta Trading Review 2026: Plans, Rules and 100% Reward Split
Vanta Trading is a United States based simulated trading platform that runs a one-step evaluation across every asset class it supports. It is operated by Taoshi VT Services and is built by the team behind Taoshi, a decentralized trading infrastructure provider in the Bittensor ecosystem. Traders complete a single evaluation phase, then receive a scaled account with a 100% reward split, weekly reward distributions, and the ability to scale up to $2,500,000. Two details set the structure apart from most evaluation programs: the reward split is a flat 100% with no scaling tiers, and every evaluation is an "All Markets" evaluation, so crypto, forex, commodities, indices and equities are all traded from one account rather than from separate products. Vanta describes itself as a technology provider rather than a broker or prop firm, and states that all trading activity occurs in a simulated environment.
Plans and pricing
Vanta publishes six tiers on its pricing page. Every paid tier follows the same evaluation rules, and the only difference between them is the starting account size. The entry-level Kickstarter tier is the exception: it is priced at $9 for a $1,000 account, and it is the one tier that is not eligible for scaling. All other tiers can scale up to $2,500,000.
| Tier | Account size | One-time fee | Listed price | Profit target | Max drawdown | Account scaling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kickstarter | $1,000 | $9 | - | 10% | 5% | None |
| Starter | $5,000 | $24 | $59 | 10% | 5% | Up to $2.5m |
| Tier I | $10,000 | $39 | $99 | 10% | 5% | Up to $2.5m |
| Tier II | $25,000 | $84 | $199 | 10% | 5% | Up to $2.5m |
| Tier III | $50,000 | $159 | $349 | 10% | 5% | Up to $2.5m |
| Tier IV | $100,000 | $299 | $599 | 10% | 5% | Up to $2.5m |
The fee is a one-time payment. Vanta states that the evaluation fee is non-refundable and is not refunded upon passing, describing it as a participation fee rather than a deposit. Payments are accepted by debit or credit card and bank transfer through Stripe, or in crypto through NowPayments. An active evaluation cannot be upgraded to a higher tier; a new evaluation has to be purchased instead. Traders are allowed to run more than one All Markets evaluation at the same time across different tiers.
Rules summary
The evaluation is a single phase with a 10% profit target. The drawdown model is the part of the rulebook that deserves the closest reading, because Vanta applies two separate limits and both are static.
Vanta runs two drawdown rules at once: a 5% static balance loss limit that applies at any time, and a 5% static equity loss limit checked once a day at 12:00 AM UTC. Both are measured against the starting account balance and never trail profits upward. Breaching either one ends the account immediately. The same two limits apply on scaled accounts, not just during the evaluation.
There is no time limit on the evaluation and no minimum number of trading days, so a trader who reaches the 10% target in a single session passes. There is an activity requirement: at least one trade must be placed within 60 days of account activation, or the account is removed. There is no consistency rule and no single-day profit cap, which means any proportion of the profit can be generated on one day.
News trading is permitted with no restrictions, and overnight and weekend holding is allowed across all supported markets. Algorithmic trading, expert advisors and bots are allowed provided the strategies are the trader's own. Third-party copy trading is prohibited and results in immediate disqualification, though mirroring a trader's own strategy across their own accounts is permitted. Leverage is expressed as buying power rather than a traditional ratio, and each order is checked against a per-pair cap, a per-class cap and an overall portfolio cap. On an All Markets account the overall portfolio cap is 6x on challenge accounts and 12x on funded accounts under $200,000.
On a scaled account there is no profit target. Traders work in 7-day cycles and receive weekly reward distributions based on realized profits, paid in USD through Stripe. Processing is currently manual, with automatic processing described as coming soon, and there is no minimum reward distribution amount. Scaling promotions run once per quarter and require a quarterly return of 5% or more together with a Sharpe ratio of 1.0 or above. A separate bonus program pays 25% of quarterly realized PnL to scaled traders who record a quarterly return of 2% or more with a Sharpe ratio of 1.0 or above. KYC through Stripe is required when activating a scaled account, but not to begin an evaluation.
Pros and cons
Pros
- 100% reward split with no scaling tiers, applied on scaled accounts as well as at the start.
- Static drawdown limits measured from the starting balance, so the loss threshold does not move upward as the account gains.
- No time limit, no minimum trading days and no consistency rule, with news trading, weekend holding and self-built EAs all permitted.
Cons
- The evaluation fee is non-refundable and is not returned after a trader passes.
- The 5% drawdown allowance is narrower than the 6% offered by several comparable one-step programs, and two separate limits can be breached rather than one.
- Reward distribution processing is manual at present, and an active evaluation cannot be upgraded to a larger tier without buying a new one.
How it compares
Vanta's $5,000 Starter tier sits alongside a group of one-step CFD programs that our database lists at $59 for the same account size. The comparison below uses the $5,000 one-step plan from each firm.
| Firm | $5K one-step fee | Profit target | Daily loss | Max drawdown | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanta Trading | $24 | 10% | 5% | 5% | 100% |
 Funding Pips | $59 | 10% | 4% | 6% | 80-100% |
 ThinkCapital | $59 | 10% | 3% | 6% Trailing | 80% (90% with scaling or add-on) |
 Aqua Funded | $59 | - | - | - | Up to 100% |
Three differences stand out. On entry cost, Vanta's $24 Starter fee is below the $59 that Funding Pips, ThinkCapital and Aqua Funded list at the same $5,000 size. On the reward split, Vanta's flat 100% is fixed rather than conditional, whereas Funding Pips lists 80-100%, Aqua Funded lists up to 100%, and ThinkCapital lists 80% with 90% available through scaling or an add-on. On risk, the trade-off runs the other way: Vanta allows 5% total drawdown against the 6% listed for Funding Pips and ThinkCapital, so the cheaper entry and higher split come with a tighter loss allowance. ThinkCapital's 6% is trailing, while Vanta's 5% is static, which is a different kind of constraint rather than simply a smaller one; a static limit stays anchored to the opening balance instead of following the account equity upward. Vanta's daily allowance of 5% is wider than the 4% at Funding Pips and the 3% at ThinkCapital, so the pressure sits on the total limit rather than on any single day. Our data does not record published target or drawdown figures for Aqua Funded's $5,000 one-step plan, so those cells are left empty rather than filled with an assumption.
Verdict
Vanta Trading is a one-step, All Markets evaluation with a flat 100% reward split, a 10% profit target, and two static 5% drawdown limits that apply equally on evaluation and scaled accounts. The structure suits traders who want a single account covering crypto, forex, commodities, indices and equities rather than separate products per asset class, who value an unlimited trading period with no consistency rule, and who prefer a drawdown limit anchored to the starting balance rather than one that trails equity. It is a weaker fit for traders who need a wider total loss allowance than 5%, who want an evaluation fee refunded on passing, or who need on-demand withdrawals, since distributions run on a weekly 7-day cycle and processing is currently manual. Traders considering the Kickstarter tier should note that it is the only tier excluded from scaling, so it functions as a low-cost trial of the rules rather than a route to a larger account.
