What Lucid Terminal doesn’t have yet
- Copying across platforms. ProjectX/TopstepX, Rithmic and Sierra Chart are built but switched on in stages, and the rest of the list is on our roadmap. Today the Copy Trader covers Tradovate accounts and the prop firms that run on Tradovate.
- Millisecond-class speed. A faster live-update path is coming; copies take about 2–3 seconds today.
- Sizing as a percentage of balance. Not offered. Use a multiplier set to the ratio of your account sizes instead.
- Reverse (inverse) copying. Not offered on purpose: it would put your accounts on opposite sides of the same market, which prop firms prohibit.
- Quotes and charts come from your own broker connection. The Copy Trader does not depend on them.

Questions
Is Lucid Terminal cheaper than Tradesyncer?
Not for a copier on its own. Tradesyncer lists plans from $49 a month. The Lucid Terminal plan with the Copy Trader is Pro at $150 a month ($90 with the founder code FOUNDED40 for the first 50 paying founder members, then $105 with FOUNDED30). Pro also includes the full terminal, trade journal, analytics and the World tab, so it is a different kind of product.
Can I copy between my prop-firm accounts with Lucid Terminal?
Yes, for accounts on Tradovate, including prop firms that run on Tradovate. You set one of your accounts as the leader and others as followers, all connected to your own login. Each firm has its own rules about copy trading. Lucid Terminal does not enforce them, so check yours first.
Does Lucid Terminal copy other people’s trades?
No. Every account in a group must be connected to your own login. The Copy Trader never follows another person’s trades.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Pro, Elite and Lab start with a 7-day trial that costs $0 today, and the Free plan gives you the terminal with unlimited futures broker logins. The Copy Trader is part of Pro and up.
