Research log
A baseline you can trace.
Recorded product and research changes. Source changes enter a review queue; only reviewed catalogue updates reach this site. Monitoring connection status is documented in the operator handoff.
OCTOBER 30, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.30.1Find the right comparison faster
Added plan search by firm, account size and evaluation or funded drawdown; reference-cost sorting; and differences-only comparisons. Detailed profiles are the default, while incomplete listings remain explicitly available. Priority 50K quotes were rechecked individually. Retired LucidBLACK is excluded from active monitoring.
OCTOBER 29, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.29.3One catalogue, from offer to comparison
Unified 123 price rows, 32 configurations and 128 routes. Deal links preserve exact settings through profiles and tools. 25 routes have detailed rule research; other rows clearly show incomplete coverage. Monitoring flags require evidence review before catalogue edits. Existing price-check times were preserved.
OCTOBER 29, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.29.2A closer Steely identity and a clearer starting point
Aligned the blue palette, locally hosted typography and technical grid with Steely Systems. Added Learn to the main navigation and three direct starting paths for education, matching and offers. Research values and source-check times are unchanged. Automatic monitoring is still pending.
OCTOBER 29, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.29.1Plan-level pricing across all nine firms
Expanded the official-source price matrices by plan, size and fee model. First-purchase eligibility, rounded quotes, ordinary prices, calculated discounts and source conflicts remain explicit. Each route retains its real observation time; records age after 24 hours. No automatic monitoring or affiliate commissions are enabled.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.9Lucid Flex and Daily prices verified in the live selector
Added twelve advertised VAULT prices and separate reset fees across 25K–150K Flex, Daily Intraday and Daily EOD. Every quote uses DLL on, on-demand payouts on and 40% evaluation consistency. Cleared the Lucid price-review hold and set a 24-hour recheck window. These are displayed prices, not completed-checkout totals; other firm records and base-price tools are unchanged.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.8Lucid plan coverage and a price-review correction
Removed the single Pro price as Lucid’s representative deal. Added Flex, Daily Intraday and Daily EOD configuration guidance. Exact current prices remain under review, with code copying paused. The source-check timestamp was not advanced by this correction. Other firm records are unchanged; no live monitoring is active.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.7Clearer answers and public-launch search foundations
Added page-specific search descriptions, publisher information, answer summaries and descriptive plan headings. Public builds now generate canonical URLs, a sitemap and structured page data for the chosen domain. The private review remains excluded from indexing. Research dates and offer values are unchanged.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.6A clearer connection to Steely Systems
Linked the brand attribution to Steely’s website. Added a dedicated education, tools and community section, plus website, blog, Discord and social links across every page. Refined the footer and responsive layout. Firm rules, prices and source-review dates are unchanged.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.5Clearer contact and maintainable offer dates
Added the confirmed partnership contact and Steely education-and-engineering positioning. Deal review dates now come directly from the dated records, including research updated on different days.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.4Official offers with freshness controls
A deals desk covers all nine firms with public-source offers, exact eligibility, later fees and checkout limits. Expired campaigns are excluded. Aging records disable code copying and ask for a recheck. No automatic source refresh or affiliate commissions are enabled.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.3A complete beginner guide
A prominent homepage entry now leads from the basic business model through evaluation, funding, payouts, opportunity and risk. Hypothetical examples separate account labels, loss allowances and cash results. A reading checklist, glossary and answer reveals reinforce understanding. Firm comparison values are unchanged.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.2Simpler navigation and a portable static release
Four main navigation choices, one tool at a time, a concise comparison summary, removable selections and clearer single-plan cards. Local system fonts remove a third-party page request. Research dates and financial values are unchanged.
OCTOBER 28, 2026 · EDITION 2026.10.28.1PropEdge by SteelySystems: first research release
Nine firms and thirteen exact routes in the original release. New profiles include Vest and FundedNext Futures. Current Lucid, Tradeify and MyFundedFutures configurations anchor the research.
DATA INTEGRITYStage-specific comparisons replace headline scores
Mock reviews, unsupported community counts, pass rates and coupon codes are removed. Topstep Express is modeled as an account stage. MyFundedFutures has one firm identity. Fee units and unknown values are explicit.
OPEN RESEARCH ITEMSConflicts remain visible
Lucid DLL-off pricing, FundedNext price conflicts and bot-copying wording, TradeDay minimum-day wording, Vest environment wording, and rules for newly catalogued configurations require follow-up. Profile pages retain the exact caveats.
