Futures Prop Firm Rule Changes. Tracked Daily.
Your morning update on futures prop firm rule changes, refreshed overnight.
We track the published rules and policies of 32 futures prop firms and keep every version, so when a firm edits a rule we have the before and after in writing. Most of what changes is really nothing: a fixed typo, a clarified sentence, a word added here and there. But real changes stand out fast, and you can literally watch rules and policies tighten line by line. Payout terms creep, consistency thresholds drop, and prices quietly climb. It works the other way too: sometimes payouts improve and rules loosen, and when that happens it’s usually one of our Premier firms.
Most of the tightening shows up on the Unlisted side, firms we track but haven’t listed on PickAPropFirm.com. When a firm with a rough reputation starts gaining traction on rock-bottom prices, promoted by affiliates who would scam their own grandma for a commission, the discount usually costs you somewhere else, and that somewhere shows up here. If a plan looks too good to be true, it almost always is.
Starred changes are the ones we think deserve your attention; the full feed below is everything we caught, right down to the typo fixes.
Treat this page like your morning paper. It updates overnight, so grab your coffee and see what changed. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

Before
150K | $150,000 | $4,500 | $4,500 net profit | $154,500 | $500 | $3,000
200K | $200,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 net profit | $203,000 | $500 | $2,500
Your drawdown stops moving once you have earned it back. The floor trails your closed daily profit dollar-for-dollar, and once your lifetime net profit matches your starting drawdown it locks permanently at your starting balance. From that point the account cannot fail below breakeven.
A 40% consistency rule applies while Sim Funded, and payouts become available every three trading days once your balance is above the threshold in the table above.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,400 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $900 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $400 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,400 + $900 + $900 + $400 = $3,600. Your biggest day of $1,400 is 38.9% of that — inside the 40% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,600 − $900 = $2,700. The same $1,400 day jumps to 51.9% — outside the same rule. ❌
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.

What the page said before and after
Before
Who can use a referral code?
Anyone new to Topstep who hasn't purchased yet, on their first account purchase only. Codes are public, so you can share yours anywhere.
Is this the affiliate program?
No. Referral Codes are open to all Traders with a Trader Profile.
Where does my reward show up?
Email only. It's a discount code, not cash, and nothing is added to an account balance. Check spam and promotions if you don't see it.
More than 5 people used my code. Where are the rest of my rewards?
The cap is 5 reward codes in a rolling 90-day period. Rewards past that aren't banked. Once your oldest code expires, you're eligible to earn another.
I signed up but didn't see the discount. Did I miss it?
No. The referral code applies to your first account purchase, not at sign-up. Enter it at checkout!
Can I see who used my code?
Not yet. The reward email is the only signal right now.
Section: Affiliate Codes
How to Add or Update Payment Details
- Go to your Billing Page on the Dashboard
- Click Add New Card and enter your details
- Scroll to Subscriptions
- Click the Edit icon next to the subscription you want to update
- Select your preferred card and save
☝ Important: At least 1 card must remain on file while a Trading Combine is active. Removing all cards will close your account. Once you set a default card, new purchases will automatically be tied to that card. To update an existing subscription’s payment method, you must change your default card and update the individual subscription.
Payment Troubleshooting
- Use a card in your name — must match your Topstep profile exactly. Using someone else’s card violates the Terms of Use.
- Check your billing address — must match your bank’s records exactly, including formatting.
- Delete and re-enter payment details manually — avoid autofill.
- Wait at least 1 hour between retry attempts — rapid retries can trigger bank blocks.

Consistency
The Consistency Percentage tracks a traders ability to earn profits over multiple sessions. This demonstrates a that a trader has and can adhere to a risk management strategy.
The Calculation
Section: The Calculation
− In LucidFlex evaluation accounts you must have Consistency Percentage of 50% or less to be eligible to upgrade to a LucidFlex funded account.
Use the following formula to determine if you are adhering to the Consistency Percentage:
Largest Single Day Profit / Account Profit = Consistency Percentage
Example
You trade your $50k LucidFlex evaluation account and your Largest Single Day Profit was $750 when you reached the $3,000 profit target. Plug the values into the above formula.
$750 / $3,000 = 25%
Section: Example
− Congratulations, you have maintained consistency under the LucidFlex evaluation 50% requirement. You may now upgrade to a LucidFlex funded account. However, if your largest day had exceeded 50% of your account profit, you would need to continue trading until your largest day is 50% or less.
− Consistency Cushion
− There is a small cushion built into the LucidFlex consistency so that traders that are super eager to pass in two days can do so. However, taking your time to reach your profit target is the best approach.
Please see below for an example of how the cushion works.
Account Size | Profit Target | 50% Consistency | Cushion
25k Flex | $1,250 | $625 | $650.00
50k Flex | $3,000 | $1,500 | $1,560.00
100k Flex | $6,000 | $3,000 | $3,120.00
150k Flex | $9,000 | $4,500 | $4,680.00
Important: This is merely an example table based on hitting exactly 50% of your profit target. The cushion is a percentage calculated on what your actual profit earned is for the day and will vary from trader to trader.
It is NOT a fixed dollar amount for all scenarios. The actual dollar amount is dependent on how much profit you earned on your biggest day.

- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
− Live Bonus
− There is no live bonus in for traders that are moved live from a LucidDaily account.
Cooldown

PremierLucid Trading · Legacy LucidMaxx Eval Pricing | Lucid Trading Help CenterThe legacy pricing system effective date moved from 11/04/2026 to 10/04/2026.Oct 10
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
− As of 11/04/2026, this tiered pricing system is no longer applicable and has been moved to "Legacy" content.
Our goal is to keep pricing as low as possible for traders who demonstrate discipline and strong risk management. However, to ensure long-term sustainability, pricing adjusts based on a trader’s live performance.
How Pricing Works
LucidMaxx uses a dynamic tiered pricing system based on live account outcomes:
- Traders who successfully clear live drawdown:
- Keep their current tier eval pricing
- Pricing does not increase, even if the account is later lost
- Traders who repeatedly blow live accounts without clearing drawdown:
- Move into higher pricing tiers over time
- Each tier reflects increased risk to the firm
This structure ensures:
- Consistent traders are rewarded with stable, low pricing
- High-risk behavior is discouraged through higher costs

Being Evaluated for Live
Lucid's risk team continuously monitors trader performance to determine when a trader is ready to transition to live futures trading.
Traders enter the live review pool when one or more of the following conditions are met:
- After receiving the final payout (Payout 5) on their Flex, Pro, or Direct plan
- After being paid out a significant amount of capital lifetime
- If they earn the Maximum Daily Profit for their LucidDaily account size
- If they have exceptional performance in sim funded
- If they have previously been moved live
Payout 5 represents the maximum payout level, not a guaranteed minimum for live eligibility. This maximum payout level applies to Flex, Pro, and Direct plans.
All live transitions occur at the discretion of the Lucid risk team.
Cashout
Section: Cashout
− A cashout option has been introduced for traders who do not yet feel comfortable trading live capital. This cashout option is equal to 50% of a traders live starting balance.
Transition to Live
When a futures trader is moved to live:
- Traders receive one live account per eligible funded account
- Each funded account must have received at least one payout to qualify
All live accounts begin with:
- $0 starting balance
- Daily payouts
- End of Day (EOD) drawdown
- No daily loss limit
Funded Account Size | Starting Live Drawdown | Max Live Contract Limit*
$25,000 | $1,000 | 2 minis or 20 micros
$50,000 | $2,000 | 4 minis or 40 micros
$100,000 | $3,000 | 6 minis or 60 micros
$150,000 | $4,500 | 10 minis or 100 micros
*Certain extremely volatile contracts have reduced position sizing to ensure traders do not exceed the live drawdown. Please see the Live Scaling Plan for further information per account size.
Consistency Rules at Live
There are no consistency requirements for live accounts. Once promoted from sim-funded to live, consistency rules no longer apply regardless of your account type (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDirect, LucidDaily).
Locking the Live MLL
Lucid Live accounts use an End-of-Day Drawdown (EOD Drawdown) system to calculate the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
- At the end of each trading session, the system calculates the account’s highest closing balance.
- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
Section: Repeatable Live Bonus
− To earn the Live Bonus, a trader must meet 2 objectives:
− - Generate Live Profits equal to the Profit target outlined below.
− - Complete 20 trading days (1+ trade taken, generating +$1/-$1 P&L net of fees)
− When achieved:
− - The Live Bonus is paid out rather than added to account balance
Repeatable Live Bonus
A trader may be eligible to earn a repeatable bonus, based on their Live performance. The Live Bonus is subject to a 90/10 profit split.
To earn the Live Bonus, a trader must meet 2 objectives:
- Generate Live Profits above the starting balance, equal to the Profit target outlined below.
− - The profit target calculation is not negatively impacted by taking payouts
- Complete 20 trading days
A trading day is defined as 1+ trade taken, generating +$1/-$1 P&L net of fees at the end of the trading session. We strongly encourage legitimate trading activity, and exploitation of this bonus system, via "contract flipping" or similar, may lead to further review.
Funded Account Size | Live Profit Target | Trading Days | Live Bonus
$25,000 | $2,000 | 20 | $1,000
$50,000 | $4,000 | 20 | $2,000
$100,000 | $6,000 | 20 | $3,000
$150,000 | $9,000 | 20 | $4,500
Example
A trader is moved live with five $50,000 funded accounts:
- Each account starts with $0 balance and $2,000 EOD drawdown
- The trader earns the Live Profit Target in each account
- The trader completes 20 trading days with a net PnL of +$1/-$1, net of fees
- Lucid releases a $2,000 Live Bonus, per account, as a payout to the trader
- Trader receives a $9,000 bonus payout in total, after the 90/10 profit split

PremierLucid Trading · Prohibited: Hedging | Lucid Trading Help CenterAdded clarification that balance resets from hedging detection do not reset total remaining drawdown on accounts.Oct 6
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
What Is It?
Hedging refers to the use of multiple accounts to take opposing positions on the same trade. This tactic artificially reduces risk by ensuring one account profits regardless of the market’s direction. It is a form of system manipulation, not genuine trading.
Example:
A trader goes long on one NQ in one account and short NQ on another. No matter which way the market moves, one account gains while the other loses, manipulating the program structure to secure profits unfairly.
Prohibited Forms of Hedging
Lucid Trading strictly prohibits all forms of hedging, including but not limited to:
- Hedging across multiple accounts held by the same user
- Hedging between different users' accounts
- Hedging between different firms or funded platforms
- Any other form of hedging designed to bypass risk management rules
What Happens If I Hedge?
Lucid Trading has automated risk systems in place to detect hedging behavior. If your account is flagged:
Section: What Happens If I Hedge?
− - You will receive an email notice & the associated accounts will be reset to prior days balance.
- After repeated offenses all involved accounts will be breached and you may be permanently restricted from using Lucid Trading services.
Why Is It Prohibited?
Lucid Trading is committed to funding skilled, consistent traders, not those exploiting structural loopholes. Hedging:
- Misrepresents a trader’s actual risk and skill
- Undermines the evaluation process
- Threatens the long-term sustainability of the firm
Allowing hedging would make it impossible to identify and reward legitimate trading performance.
Common Questions
Can I go long X contract and short X contract?
- No, you cannot go long / short the same contract in the same or separate accounts. This is strictly prohibited.
Can I go long X contract Mini and short X contract Micros?
- You can go long / short the same contract but one is micros and one is minis in the same account.

Consistency Rules at Live
There are no consistency requirements for live accounts. Once promoted from sim-funded to live, consistency rules no longer apply regardless of your account type (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDirect, LucidDaily).
Locking the Live MLL
Lucid Live accounts use an End-of-Day Drawdown (EOD Drawdown) system to calculate the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
- At the end of each trading session, the system calculates the account’s highest closing balance.
- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
Section: Repeatable Live Bonus
− Repeatable Live Bonus
− A trader may be eligible to earn a repeatable bonus, based on their Live performance. The Live Bonus is subject to a 90/10 profit split.

What the page said before and after
Before
Section: What Is High-Frequency-Trading?
− What Is It?
High-frequency trading (HFT) is a type of automated trading strategy that involves submitting and executing a high volume of trades within extremely short time frames, often measured in seconds or even milliseconds. These strategies are typically powered by algorithms and designed to exploit minute price inefficiencies at speed.
What Happens If I Use HFT?
Lucid Trading employs automated risk detection systems to flag HFT activity. If your account is identified as using high-frequency trading methods:
- First offense:
- You will receive a written warning
- Repeated offenses:
- All profits generated from HFT activity will be removed
- Accounts will be closed
- You will be permanently restricted from using Lucid Trading services
You may file an appeal if you believe the activity was incorrectly flagged.
Why Is It Prohibited?
HFT strategies can result in hundreds of orders being placed within minutes, generating an unusually high load on platform infrastructure.

▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Section: What Is Microscalping?
− What Is It?
Microscalping refers to a trading tactic where a trader attempts to capture very small price movements using very large size within extremely short time frames, often just a few seconds. The goal is typically to exploit how simulated fills work rather than to execute a sustainable trading strategy.
This is not the same as genuine scalping, which involves short-term trades without attempting to manipulate platform behavior. Genuine scalping is permitted as long as it reflects realistic market activity and order execution.
What Happens If I Microscalp?
Lucid Trading uses automated systems to detect Microscalping patterns. You will be flagged if:
- More than 50% of your profits are generated from trades held for 5 seconds or less
Enforcement Process:
- If your account is flagged, Lucid will initiate a manual review to verify whether the behavior violates company policies
- If bad faith activity is confirmed, you may receive a written warning
- If flagged behavior continues after a warning:
- All profits from microscalping activity will be forfeited
- You may be permanently restricted from using Lucid Trading services
Traders may request an appeal if they believe the flagged activity was incorrectly identified.

PremierLucid Trading · New Live Structure | Lucid Trading Help CenterLive Bonus requirement changed to require finishing the trading session and clarified the example language in two places.Aug 25
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
*Certain extremely volatile contracts have reduced position sizing to ensure traders do not exceed the live drawdown.
Consistency Rules at Live
There are no consistency requirements for live accounts. Once promoted from sim-funded to live, consistency rules no longer apply regardless of your account type (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDirect).
Locking the Live MLL
Lucid Live accounts use an End-of-Day Drawdown (EOD Drawdown) system to calculate the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
- At the end of each trading session, the system calculates the account’s highest closing balance.
- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
Live Bonus
The first time a trader is moved live under the new program, they may be eligible to earn a one-time bonus - provided they've never held a Legacy Live account. The Live Bonus is subject to a 90/10 profit split.
To earn the Live Bonus:
Section: Live Bonus
− - Generate live profits equal to your starting live drawdown
When achieved:
- The Live Bonus is paid out
Funded Account Size | Live Target | Live Bonus
$25,000 | $1,100 | $1,000

$100,000 | $3,100 | $3,000
$150,000 | $4,600 | $4,500
Example
A trader is moved live with five $50,000 funded accounts:
- Each account starts with $0 balance and $2,000 drawdown
Section: Example
− - The trader earns $2,100 in each account
- Lucid releases a $2,000 Live Bonus, per account, as a payout to the trader
- Trader receives a $9,000 bonus payout in total, after the 90/10 profit split
The bonus may be earned on all accounts moved live on the first trip under the new system. However, traders moved live 2 or more times will not be eligible for the bonus on subsequent sets of accounts. The bonus is not eligible for traders with LucidMaxx status.
Cooldown
Traders who have been moved live may return to purchase a new evaluation after blowing a live account..
- Standard cooldown period: 2 weeks
- Traders who repeatedly blow live accounts due to reckless or "yolo" behavior may be subject to longer cooldowns at the discretion of the risk team
LucidMaxx Status
Select traders may eventually earn LucidMaxx status.
LucidMaxx traders:
- May purchase the LucidMaxx evaluation

Daily Loss Limit
The Daily Loss Limit (DLL) is the maximum amount a trader can lose in a single day before trading is restricted until the next session.

Before
$25,000 | $250
$50,000 | $500
$100,000 | $750
$150,000 | $1,000
This profit goal resets after each payout.
2. Consistency Percentage
- Your largest single-day profit must be no more than 40% of your total profit during the payout cycle.
- The 40% Consistency Percentage resets after each payout.
- This ensures that profits are earned with consistency, not via one unusually large trading day.
3. Profit Over Buffer Balance
To request a payout, your profits must exceed the buffer balance, which acts as a safety net to avoid hitting Max Loss Limit after a payout. You can not take payout from the buffer balance.
The buffer is equal to: Initial Max Loss Limit + $100
− Account Size | Buffer Balance
− $25,000 | $26,100
− $50,000 | $52,100
− $100,000 | $103,100
− $150,000 | $154,600
Important: If you take a trade before your payout is processed that drops your balance into the buffer, your request may be denied. Get more details at the bottom of this page.
Payout Minimums and Maximums
- Minimum payout request: $500
- Maximum payout amounts depend on account size and payout cycle:
Section: Payout 1
− Account Size | Payouts 1 | Payouts 2+
− $25,000 | $1,000 | $1,500
− $50,000 | $2,000 | $2,500
− $100,000 | $2,500 | $3,000
− $150,000 | $3,000 | $3,500
Each payout cycle resets these thresholds.
Payout Timing and Processing
- There is no fixed payout window, you may request a payout any day after meeting all eligibility criteria.
- Once approved:
- Funds will be deducted from your account within a few minutes.
- Payouts will be disbursed to your payment method within 2 business days.
What Happens If I Trade After Requesting a Payout?
Funds are deducted from your account within a few minutes of approval.
If you trade after submitting but before approval and your balance drops into the buffer, the request may be denied. If your balance drops below the buffer after deduction, your account is at risk. You should trade as if the payout amount has already been removed from your balance.

Consistency Rules at Live
There are no consistency requirements for live accounts. Once promoted from sim-funded to live, consistency rules no longer apply regardless of your account type (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDirect).
Locking the Live MLL
Lucid Live accounts use an End-of-Day Drawdown (EOD Drawdown) system to calculate the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
- At the end of each trading session, the system calculates the account’s highest closing balance.
- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
Live Bonus
Section: Live Bonus
− The first time a trader is moved live under the new program, they may be eligible to earn a one-time bonus - provided they've never held a Legacy Live account.
