From Years of Failure to $1M+ in Prop-Firm Payouts
I'm Jered King, and I've been exactly where you are. After years of failed approaches and trying nearly every kind of prop-firm program, I built a process I could repeat. By 2025 my reported cumulative prop-firm payouts were about $500K. In 2026, that total crossed $1 million.
The VTF Payout Guarantee Program

The Process Kept Compounding
I started trading in 2018 with penny stocks and lost everything. Moved to options in 2019—failed again. Discovered futures and prop firms in 2020, but still couldn't make it work. I tried literally every prop firm you can think of and failed repeatedly.
In 2022, I finally built a repeatable way to navigate evaluations, funded accounts, and payouts. By 2024, that process was producing a $250K+ annual pace. My reported cumulative prop-firm payouts reached about $500K in 2025 and crossed $1 million in 2026.
That's why I created VTF. I'm not some guru selling courses. I'm a real trader sharing real experience and backing it up with actual money through our Payout Guarantee Program.

Protecting Traders Through Transparency
Warning About Bad Rules
Instead of hiding bad rules to make commissions, we warn you about them. We'll tell you which firms have impossible requirements and which ones actually want you to succeed.
Real Payout Intelligence
I share insider knowledge about which firms actually pay out based on personal relationships with CEOs and real trader experiences, not marketing promises.
New Firm Protection
We protect you from wasting time and money on new, unverified companies. Every firm must prove themselves through our complete verification process first.
Complete Transparency
I maintain affiliate partnerships with verified prop firms and receive compensation for referrals. However, I only recommend firms I personally use and trust. My verification process and Payout Guarantee Program ensure that I put my own money at risk for every recommendation I make.
