Affiliates are not the issue here… The amount of content creators giving out free content daily and entertainment while asking for nothing return other than using a code is at all time highs. The days of PAID DISCORD AND COURSES are dead. Now it’s FREE streams for traders around the world! The BDH streams daily with 6 different streams for almost 15 hours a day entirely FREE!!! Let’s not group all affiliates in with Lanto bullshit. @LumiTraders @nuttybartrading @KrysAlpine and more traders are showing up daily for free asking for you to only use their affiliate code if you choose.

Wow what a day on fintwit. Here is one thing that has been my opinion and will never change. Never ever buy a course or paid discord. The traders who are teaching do not trade the way they show on their videos/streams or in their courses. Some do not trade at all, and some get good payouts and results but they do not do what they teach. You can learn a lot more from watching a trader than listening to a trader. So if they do show everything then yes watch and pick up on things but…pay attention to the actions because…Actions speak louder than words.

The Vest team has reviewed the recent posts and will be enforcing an affiliate ban for Lanto. Under our guidelines, earned commissions will be paid but Lanto is no longer eligible to receive commissions going forward. We appreciate the cooperation from @thebrianstonk and @dhesi_trades in enforcing this via their shared entity code.

PSA: If you're favorite furu is doing any of the following, its not by accident. They are intentionally hiding/deceiving you. - Hiding account numbers - Hiding Balances - Refuse to share expenses - Only post payouts, but never blowups 🤷 I said what I said...

The Full Transparent Truth. This is for Everyone 💙 Full Expenses & Payouts.

🚨PSA: Don’t fall for this furu bullshit. Huge profits. Huge payouts. Problem is the spend behind them is often obfuscated. Influencers are changing the account names that show how many accounts they've burned through. Typically they just hide the number. This time they are actively changing the account name. On Vest, every account is numbered, so your 5th account shows up as “Account 5” with a 5 in the icon next to it. There’s also an edit button that lets a trader change the account name, and once it’s edited, the icon shows an “A” instead of the real number, even if the new name still reads like a regular account number. Most people scrolling past an influencer’s screenshot would never notice that “A.” And if every account already comes named with its number, why would anyone edit the name just to make it look like another account number? Is that the actual account number? Doubtful. Below is a screenshot from @lanto_trades with edited account names. Not unexpected. 🧵

Hey @nehal_rm1 happy to have this conversation with you. Let’s talk about what it means to be a profitable trader. Since September 1, you’ve had 35 PRO+ live trading accounts. You have gone max loss in 21 accounts and you took out profits in 14 accounts. Your live trading resulted in a net loss of $6,100 across all these accounts. So, you are not net profitable - even though you took withdrawals. In total though, you lost $56,000 of our live trading capital (net of the 10% profit share we got on your withdrawals) because of the way you cycled through accounts. It's a good trade for you - you got $67k in payouts from your PRO+ accounts. All the while not actually being a profitable trader in the market. But we're not going to enable this reckless behavior more. All of your max loss accounts happened within a day of the account even opening. In four trading days alone, you lost $89,685 in live trading capital. Did you have some good days? Two. A $30k and a $20k day. And you showed some promise. The second to last set of PRO+ accounts were profitable. That's why we initially gave you an exception for PRO+ Development. We always try to give traders the benefit of the doubt. We're rooting for you. And then you lost $18,000 of live capital in one day on 10/13. The same day those live accounts were opened. So no, right now, we’re not going to give you a full $20k again to lose in live markets. It’s not OK to lose $20k and close your accounts in one day. And we think you know that… - @markrmeadows, Director of Trading Risk
