@callumparker_97 @Dougcotefx @TradingLucid So the buffer hurt u and u should have took profits as you made them and not left any buffer?
English

I built the account from 25,000 to 30,300, that’s including we already taken out $1000 a profit. But as it stands, the balance is 30,306. And since I took $1000 payout three days ago, the profit then goes to 0 but you keep the buffer. Since it’s now been another three days I was hoping to take a $1500 payout tonight but now the account has been frozen due to them deciding to move Me to live. Of which I don’t actually know what happens to the $5300 of buffer which is in my opinion profit that I have made… seems very unfair. I can’t actually trade any account at the moment because everything has paused.

I want to feel excited about going live with @TradingLucid… but after reading the new rules, I’m honestly confused.
From what I understand:
• The ~$5k profit I built in my main funded account disappears
• My other funded accounts get closed
• The live account starts back at $0
• And the drawdown gets reduced to just $1k
So after building consistency and cushion in sim, it feels like everything gets reset overnight, and it doesn’t sound like traders really have a choice in the transition either.
Maybe I’m missing something, but this seems like a pretty rough structure for traders who’ve already proven themselves.

2025 PROP FIRM PAYOUT RECAP
December 2024 → December 2025
I’ve had a lot of people asking for a full breakdown of my prop firm payouts, so here it is, fully transparent, no hype, and no affiliations.
I don’t get kickbacks, commissions, or referral deals.
Just trading, scaling, and withdrawing.
All figures below are net payouts after fees.
⸻
🔵 TOPSTEP — $143,170.61
(Dec 2024 → July 2025)
• July 2025: $42,330.60
• June 2025: $21,979.80
• May 2025: $22,500
• April 2025: $18,000
• March 2025: $27,746.51
• February 2025: $4,670.70
• December 2024: $6,943
Topstep was the first firm I pushed hard.
The consistency here laid the foundation for everything that followed.
⸻
🟣 TAKE PROFIT TRADER — $51,280
• Aug 5: $16,000
• Aug 12: $4,240
• Sep 16: $2,908
• Oct 17: $8,824
• Oct 30: $4,120
• Nov 3: $5,100
• Nov 4: $10,088
Straightforward rules. Clean execution. Reliable payouts.
⸻
🟢 LUCID TRADING — $10,000
• Nov 26: $1,000 × 5
• Dec 4: $1,000 × 5
Fast approvals, zero friction. Very clean experience.
⸻
🟠 APEX — $21,800 (20 accounts)
• Nov 24: $10,000
• Dec 5: $11,800 (pending)
Still one of the easiest firms to scale when you have structure.
⸻
🟣 FUNDINGTICKS — $4,120
• Dec 3: $1,363 × 3
One of the fastest payouts I’ve ever received—so I scaled.
Currently running 12× $25K accounts.
⸻
🟡 FUNDEDNEXT — $8,868.48 (12 accounts)
• Dec 6: $739.04 × 12
⸻
🔵 TRADEDAY — $3,600 (3 accounts)
• Dec 6: $1,200 × 3
⸻
OTHER ACTIVE FIRMS
Legends Trading • Tradeify • MyFundedFutures • Alpha Futures.
⸻
TOTAL PROP PAYOUTS: $242,839.09
Here’s the part most people miss:
👉 Over $190,000 of this was made trading just TWO firms
with only FIVE total accounts.
I’m now operating 70+ funded accounts across multiple firms, using the same strategy, same setups, just horizontal scaling instead of forcing size.
⸻
🎯 2026 GOAL:
$1,000,000 in prop payouts.
Not a flex.
Not a prediction.
Just the logical next step of scaling what already works.

@NickDoesFutures Besides cheap list, make a quality comparison list
English

The cheapest 50K eval isn’t the cheapest 50K account.
Eval cost only — top 5 for May 2026:
1.Apex (EOD) — $34
2. Blue Guardian Futures — $55
3.Alpha Premium — $59
4.Lucid — $84
5.Tradeify — $87
All-in cost (eval + activation) flips the list 👇
1. Blue Guardian Futures — $55 one-time
2.LucidFlex — $84 one-time
3.Tradeify Growth — $87 one-time
4.FundedNext Futures Bolt — $94 one-time
5.TakeProfit Trader — $102/mo
6.Apex — $103 ($34 eval + $69 activation)
7.Alpha Premium — $119 one-time
8.E8 Futures Signature — $120 one-time
9.MyFundedFutures Rapid — $125/mo
I recommend @tradecopia for copy trading multiple accounts across multiple firms!
