[September 2026] I Calculated Lucid Trading's Expected Value — At Zero Edge, Go Flex (With Daily Loss); With an Edge, Go Daily (No Payout Cap)
We compared Lucid Trading's 3 plans (Flex, Pro, Daily) with a 1-year Monte Carlo simulation running from evaluation through payout. Prices, reset fees, max loss, and payout conditions confirmed on the official Help Center and pricing page on September 23, 2026. All are one-time purchases with no activation fee. At zero edge, Flex $50K with a daily loss limit attached comes to +$2,152/year; with an edge, Daily — which has no payout cap — pulls ahead. Covers why adding a daily loss limit makes it cheaper, Daily's mandatory flat position around news releases, and the lack of any VPS policy.
[September 2026 Edition] A Full Review of Automated-Trading Rules Across 28 Futures Prop Firms - Where Can You Actually Run a Bot, EA, or Copy Trade?
We reread the official help centers and terms of 28 US futures prop firms on September 21-22, 2026, and sorted their automated-trading policies into five tiers: fully automated OK / self-built only with conditions / semi-automated only / banned / not addressed. Bulenox has switched to banning commercial and shared bots, Lucid allows them, Apex now explicitly bans automated trading on all accounts, and Tradeify requires a live video of you activating the code yourself. Covers firms that ban VPS, how each firm defines HFT (100-300 trades/day, 10-second holds), and firms that have shut down or stopped selling accounts. We've also added the two big FX firms that entered futures - FTMO Futures (allows algos) and The5ers Futures (bans algos).
