Your challenge replayed (Pro)Trade by trade, with your firm's drawdown type (end-of-day or intraday trailing): the first rule broken, the day and the trades involved.

Importing your futures trades

Kova imports TopstepX trade exports, Tradovate exports (orders, positions or performance report) and NinjaTrader trade exports as CSV files, on the free plan. For any other CSV file, Kova recognises the columns and you check everything before importing.

Kova works from your closed trades: your firm's dashboard remains the reference for your account's status.

FAQ

When does the Lucid Max Loss Limit stop trailing?

According to Lucid's help center, once your account exceeds the initial trail balance (starting balance plus the Max Loss Limit plus $100), the limit locks at the starting balance plus $100 and no longer moves.

Is the LucidPro daily loss limit a failure?

No. Lucid treats every daily loss limit as a soft breach: you cannot place new trades until the next session, as long as the Max Loss Limit has not been reached.

Can I import my Lucid trades into Kova?

Yes, if your account runs on Tradovate or NinjaTrader: export your orders, positions or performance report from Tradovate, or your trades from NinjaTrader, as CSV. Kova recognises the columns and you check everything before importing.

Is Kova affiliated with Lucid Trading?

No. Kova is an independent trading journal. The rules on this page come from Lucid Trading's own help pages, listed in the sources below; Lucid Trading's site and dashboard remain the reference.

Is Kova free for futures traders?

Yes. The Free plan has no time limit: journal, dashboard, TopstepX, Tradovate and NinjaTrader file import, and one prop firm account with its loss gauges. Pro ($29/month, cancel anytime) adds all your accounts, the challenge replay and My prop firms, which totals fees, resets and payouts firm by firm.

Kova is not affiliated with Lucid Trading. Not investment advice: trading involves a risk of loss, and most traders do not pass their evaluation.
