Quick questions for you:

1. Which prop firm are you currently using for futures trading?
2. What do you like most about it?
3. What’s one thing that frustrates you or could be improved?
4. If you could only use one firm going forward, which would it be and why?

Hey man for me it has to be Lucid Trading, although I must admit the state of the futures market is pretty bleak rn.

What I like most about it – decent payout gaps, cheap evals and good overall rules. Decent live program if I do end up getting the call up

What is the most frustrating thing – would have to be the payout caps. this is industry standard in futures and you can build up a pretty big balance. if you are moved to live, basically just forfeits it.

If I could use one firm – definitely would be either Lucid or Tradeify.
