Lucid Trading Approved Futures and Commission Costs

Lucid lists 34 futures contracts at $0.50–$2.80 per contract per side. Bitcoin, Ether, Treasury and VIX futures are not in the checked table; verify unlisted symbols for your account.

Table of contents

Lucid's published approved-products table lists 34 futures contracts, with commissions from $0.50 to $2.80 per contract per side. ES, NQ, their micros, crude oil, gold, silver, currency futures and agricultural contracts are included.

The list below was checked against Lucid's Approved Products and Commissions page on October 11, 2026. Bitcoin and Ether futures are not listed. Neither are Treasury futures or VIX futures. If one of those is central to your trading, get confirmation for your exact account before buying.

A listed symbol answers the product question. Position limits, trading hours and access on a particular connection still depend on your account. This guide does not treat the list as proof that every product is enabled on every platform or live account.

Calculate the cost of opening and closing

The table gives the charge for one side of one contract. A complete entry and exit costs twice that amount when the same rate applies on both sides.

For example, 20 round trips in one MES contract cost 20 × 2 × $0.50 = $20 in listed commissions. The same number in one ES contract costs $70. These are fee calculations, with no assumed win rate or trading profit. For a larger position, multiply both charges by the number of contracts filled. Spread and slippage are additional execution costs.

Bitcoin, Ether and other missing symbols

The checked table contains no BTC, MBT, ETH or MET row. It also has no ZN, ZB, ZF or ZT Treasury row, no VIX contract, no palladium (PA), and no coffee, cocoa, cotton or sugar contract.

Lucid's table does not explain why those products are absent. It gives symbols and fees without an approval test for volatility, liquidity or risk models. Use the published list to establish confirmed availability, and ask Lucid about an unlisted symbol. A contract being available at its exchange does not establish permission on your Lucid account.

Before the first order

  1. Match the root symbol to the intended instrument and contract size. MES and ES appear as separate products with different fees.
  2. Confirm the contract month, quote access and trading permission in the platform connected to your account. If a symbol is missing or an order is rejected, record the exact symbol, connection and account phase for support.
  3. Check the account's current position limit, loss floor and session cutoff. An approved product does not remove those limits.
  4. For a multi-leg trade, confirm the strategy rules as well as both symbols. The presence of ZS, ZL and ZM in the list alone does not authorize every spread or hedging setup.

The Lucid setup guide covers account connections and market-data checks. Use the trading-hours guide for session limits and the Lucid review for the account's rules. Confirm any separate data charge for the connection you use; this commission table does not establish a universal data-subscription cost.
