Lucid Trading has teased an upcoming contest with $2 million in cash prizes, telling traders to expect "chaos" starting next week.

The contest is set to start 9 September 2026 and run through 30 September 2026. Lucid Trading has not yet published the specific rules, eligibility criteria, or prize structure, stating full details will follow the week of the tease.

What's missing

The specific contest rules, eligibility requirements, and how the $2 million will be distributed among participants have not yet been published.

This is a substantial prize figure for the sector, and worth tracking closely once the rules are published, since contest structure, entry cost, eligibility, and how winners are determined, will determine whether it's genuinely accessible or effectively a marketing draw. We will publish full coverage once Lucid Trading releases the complete rules and prize structure, expected the week before the September 9 start date.

Comparing prop firm offers is worth doing anywhere. Apex Trader Funding is another established futures firm worth comparing on documented terms, currently running a discount on evaluation fees.
