I think every trading platform will be AI-native within a few years. We decided not to wait. @VestExchange traders can already connect AI agents and their own bots through @Tradara.

Vest yesterday. Propr today. Reply with the firm you want next. Most requested gets built first.

I've been quiet on here for a while. This is why. For the last few years I've worked behind the scenes in the futures prop industry, building the CRM and account tooling that firms use to manage their traders. Onboarding, accounts, support, the stuff traders interact with every day but never really think about. That seat gave me a front-row view of what traders were dealing with. Every complaint, every support ticket, every frustrated message came through the systems I built. And it was the same story over and over. Five tabs open just to place one trade. A charting platform here, an execution platform there, a copier bolted on top that you're praying doesn't lag on a fast open. Charts running on "real-time-ish" data unless you pay extra for the real thing. Layouts that reset. Indicators capped. Tools that were clearly built for someone else and handed to prop traders as an afterthought. And traders just accepted it, because there was nothing better. That never sat right with me. Let's be honest, prop traders aren't monks. You're running five evals at once, sizing up after a red day, and taking the trade you swore you wouldn't. That's the game. But if you're going to play it, the platform shouldn't be one more thing working against you. So I left to build it. Meet @Tradara. Now in private beta. One terminal where you can chart, copy trades across your accounts, and compete, without stitching together a stack of tools that were never meant to talk to each other. We built every layer ourselves. The order management, the matching, the risk engine, the market data pipeline. Not a reskin. Not a wrapper around someone else's platform. A real foundation, designed from day one around the way prop traders work. Here's what you get with Prime: - Data that's actually real-time - Real-time CME Group data, included - Real-time news built into the terminal - Bring your TradingView tools with you - Translate your PineScript indicators and run them natively in Tradara - Script Studio for building your own tools - Invite-only scripts for creators who want to share or sell their work - Charting that keeps up with you - 16 charts per tab - 50 indicators per chart - 50 saved layouts - Volume footprint charts Execution without the friction: - Hotkeys for fast entries, exits, and flattening - A built-in trade copier across your accounts Review, clip, and share - Screen record your sessions for trade reviews - Make and share clips of your best (and worst) trades And this is just the start. Every feature on our roadmap comes from the same place: real problems I watched real traders deal with for years. We're opening the doors to a small group of early traders before general release. To kick it off, we're giving away 3 Tradara Prime beta accesses. Details in the post below. If you've ever felt like the tools were working against you, this one's for you. Chart. Copy. Compete.

Nothing worth doing was ever easy.

Coming from futures prop? Vest works differently. I broke down checkout, execution, the rule that ends accounts, and how payouts reach your bank. $200 in, $401.50 out on my first account. My result, not a guarantee.

Very interesting offering from @VestExchange. First payout came through fast. The model clearly rewards scalping, but the UI fights you on it. Managing open positions and closing at a moment's notice is harder than it should be. Fix that and this becomes a dangerous value proposition.

Trading platforms releasing left and right… why aren’t any built to actually handle the task? Anyone can ask Claude to put pre-packaged TradingView charts on a ui hooked up to a third-party backend in a matter of hours. The distinguishing factor for a trader is delivering unparalleled reliability, with proper architecture serving as a fallback for when things go wrong. When will firms step up? More importantly, can they?

Architected and shipped the first system like this in the space a few years back. Ours ran in milliseconds, not minutes. Seamless isn’t a differentiator — it’s the floor.

It seems everyone knows now!
