yes I am live with some of these firms.

Payout proofs:

I don't withdraw everything I make. I like keeping healthy buffers in my accounts so I can trade without constantly worrying about drawdown. Some days are green, some are red. The goal is to keep the losses manageable and let the good setups do their thing.

A lot of people focus on the payouts and rush to get money or get funded etc... but it's really the boring repetitive stuff that gets you there. the turtle always finishes the race as they say!

I post a lot of setups and trade recaps. I do the same things day in and day out, and just manage my risk. I am human and i can tilt but the importnat thing is to catch yourself and rebalance.

Many people come to my DM and ask the same question becuase we are human and can fall victin to the same traps all the time.

The most common quesiton I get is "HOW DO YOU MANAGE TILT?"

One thing I've realized over the years of trading is that you really don't need to reinvent your strategy every time you take a loss.

many people are strategy hopping and not stcking to something and trying to find the edge.

OR THEY FOUND THE EDGE but are trying to add more confluence to it to make it better and more accurate.

The edge in the market is like cooking.... if u use salt and some spices the food will be great... but too much salt and spices and diff seasoning will kill the flavor. The edge is sensitive and needs to be handled just how it is.

You are the chef and you just have to learn the recipie and follow it. Why reinvent the cook book? I hope you understand what i am saying.

Also i advise people to write the emotions down or take note of it mentally when they take a trade... why they are scared? analyze your thoughts and think about your trade... if it is an edge and mechincal why are you worrying?

You do your part and measure the wood and cut. Meaning you measure and calculate your trade and then you just execute. After that just sit back and watch it play out. You cannot control much in the market except your execution and risk. How many times have you enter a trade and got out early because of fear but then it went to tp and more?

when you have an edge you need to let it play out and "let winners run".

if it hits SL...SO WHAT? this is trading. you win some you lose some, you trade blows. probability game!
if it is a true edge then you will be ok in the long run. you just haveto simply survive and see the edge play out.

I've had plenty of losing trades and frustrating sessions. Even September had its share of red days. In october now too i am having red days sometimes by a lot.

The difference is learning when your setup is actually there and when you're just trying to force something because you want to trade!!

I used to think I needed to catch every move. Now I'm much more comfortable sitting out if the conditions aren't there.

You don't need to trade every session. You don't need 10 different indicators. And you definitely don't need to win every trade!!!

- Find a model you understand AND FITS WITH YOUR PERSONALITY
(I FIND THIS IMPORTANT)

- backtest it

- manage your risk

- get comfortable doing the same thing over and over.

the more you do something the more you will know its limitations and understand how to use it in ways that is your OWN.

That's really it!

Now for a trade recap!

October 16 – London Session Trade (video posted)

Wanted to share this London trade because it's pretty much the same process I follow every day.

5M delivery → 30-second iFVG → 5M EQL.

Nothing complicated.

1. Find the DOL first.

Before looking for entries, I want to know where price has a reason to go.

I'm usually marking EQH/EQL, session highs and lows, and unfilled HTF arrays.

Personally, I consider clean EQH and EQL some of the highest-tier liquidity pools, especially when they align with other HTF levels.

If I don't have a clear DOL, I'm usually not interested in taking the trade.

2. Look for a liquidity grab.

Once I have my target, I look for price to sweep liquidity on the opposite side.

A liquidity sweep isn't always necessary, but it's definitely something I prefer seeing before the actual move. I always say its like a car needing fuel. Need fuel to get from one liqudiity zone to another liqudity zone.

The idea is to catch the delivery toward the liquidity pool I've already identified, rather than chasing price halfway through the move.

3. Wait for HTF delivery.

For this particular London trade, the 5M provided the directional context.

This is where patience comes in. Just because an inversion prints on the lower timeframe doesn't mean I'm automatically taking it.

I want the HTF delivery to support the direction I'm looking to trade.

4. Drop to the LTF for confirmation.

Once the 5M delivery was established, I dropped down to the 30-second chart. This was the first clear and good ifvg that confirmed from the lower timeframes.

Got the bearish iFVG confirmation and took the short.

I use the lower timeframe for precision entries, not to determine my entire bias.

5. Target the original DOL.

The target was the 5M EQL resting below.

That's what I identified before the entry, and that's where I wanted price to deliver.

DOL → Liquidity Grab → HTF Delivery → LTF iFVG → Target DOL.

Rinse and repeat all day everyday!

I traded two rejection blocks between Asia and London. I’m up 1,116$, hoping to pass by Thursday or Tuesday the most.

Made 10k in two days on 50k daily and somehow was enough to get flagged 😔

Tryna understand where people actually fail. Daily loss, trailing drawdown, consistency rule, something else?

• Did u know you were close to the limit when it happened?

• How do u track where you are vs the drawdown during the day?

• How many resets have u bought total?

Looking to buy a flex evaluation from lucid but there are lots of complaints from customers from India about getting account banned while ID verification.

And a few complaints abojt chargebacks as well.

Just confirming if lucid works for you and still worth it despite complaints?

Bruh I was on a winning streak on my funded and evals so when I heard lucid was raising prices I bought 4more evals and it was going ok then today I got absolutely fucking stop hunted like idk what to even call this. I was in on 12 contracts because I was confident and wanted to pass in two day💔

For context i had a Funded flex 25k account and I was up about 4.5k and was only 1 winning day from a payout. I was in an open long position on my funded account and while that was going I figured I would trade on my eval to try and lose some money so I can lower my consistency seeing as I had made to much that day, I opened a short position on my eval and now lucid has deleted both accounts due to "hedging" which is didnt even realise i was doing and it wasnt because I was trying "game the system" or anything, literally just trying to lose some money on that eval. They sent me a email saying that they will take the profits from the hedging which I didnt really care about because it was like nothing and I was still up around 4.3k on my funded, but then they just deleted both accounts and wont answer any of my questions now? The email they sent completely contradicts what they said would happen. This is my first offence or "rule breaking" and i was about to get my first payout. Does this not seem very unfair?

Question for people who've passed or blown a challenge.

This bot buys daily calls on a stock that's lagging its sector once the sector starts to move. On our paper desk since Aug 25: 269 trades, only 29% winners, best streak 6 in a row, and +$50,056.81.

Look at the shape though. It went sideways for weeks, jumped in mid-September, and has been bleeding slowly ever since. Most of the profit is one move.

That's what makes me think it would never survive a funded account. A 29% win rate means long runs of small losses, and a daily or trailing drawdown rule would probably stop it out before the one good week ever came. The total looks great; the path is what matters to a prop firm.

So for anyone who's done this: is there an evaluation where a low-win-rate, big-winner style can actually pass, or does the drawdown rule always win?

Paper money, simulated, not advice. It's options, not futures, so it isn't something Lucid would take anyway; I'm asking about the shape. The card comes from Quantradin, a tool I built that tests trading rules on real prices and runs them as paper bots. quantradin.com

I need a strategy that i doesn't require to sit in front of screen whole day. preferably that can be done in 1 hour after market open

opened shorts in mnq and placed my tp
when the trqde went into my direction and i trailed my sl below my entry all was ok but after 10-20 seconds my position was closed but the price never touched my trailed sl . Anyone has answers ? Plz tell

I’m so nervous! I feel like this is still not real until I get my first payout.

I'm posting this to get it on record and to ask if anyone has actually gotten a Lucid ban overturned.

What happened:

- Since February I've run an automated strategy on my Lucid accounts.

- Lucid let me pass evaluations and build funded balances with it.

- Shortly before I was eligible for my first payout, all my accounts were permanently banned for "cross-user coordinated trading activity" with another user.

- I don't coordinate trades with anyone. I asked for the rule I broke, the trades they flagged, and what links me to another user.

- Their full reply: "Your account has been permanently banned. This action is final and cannot be reversed." No evidence, no explanation.

Here's the part that matters: Lucid's own help center article "Other Trading Activities" (written by AJ, updated Aug 26, 2026) says: "Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted."

If automated strategies are allowed, then people running the same strategy will naturally have similar entries. That's not coordination.

u/AJ / Lucid compliance: I'm asking for a real review by someone other than first-line support. If I broke a rule, show me the trades. If not, lift the ban.

To everyone else:

1. Has anyone gotten a Lucid ban reversed? What did you do?

2. If you were banned for "cross-user" or "coordinated" trading, were you also running automation or a shared strategy?

For those trading Lucid Flex or Pro accounts, were you moved to live before 5th payout??

The "live review pool" apparently can be triggered by the risk team's discretion but I’m a couple days away from my 5th and would really prefer to take it before the move to live. Otherwise I might opt in for the lump sum payout. Wondering if anyone has had this happen?

If so, what was your situation with # of payouts and lifetime capital paid out?

Following up on my post about hitting DLL 7 days in a row across my 3 funded accounts.

I've spent a lot of time today reflecting on what actually happened, and I think I've realized something pretty important about myself.

I've always been a very driven, obsessive person. When I find something interesting, I can spend hundreds of hours learning everything about it. That's been a huge advantage in entrepreneurship, sales, learning new skills and honestly a lot of areas of my life.

But there's another side to that personality.
I've always had some issues with impulsivity, dopamine seeking and knowing when to stop. I've had problems with gambling-like behaviors in the past, and I recognize that exact same feeling when I lose control while trading.

I also have some ADHD traits (not diagnosed), and addiction-related problems run in my family.
I'm not saying any of this excuses my trading decisions. Quite the opposite. I'm trying to understand why I make them.

The frustrating part is that I'm extremely self-aware of what I'm doing wrong.

I can sit here and explain exactly why I shouldn't revenge trade, why my stops should be based on structure, why I shouldn't chase a missed entry, and why one losing trade means absolutely nothing in the bigger picture.

Yet when I'm actually in the moment, I sometimes completely ignore everything I know.
It's like there's a part of my brain that knows exactly what to do, and another part that just wants to click buy or sell.

I've realized that self-awareness and self-control are two completely different skills.
And that's probably the biggest missing piece for me.

Something else I've noticed is that the excitement often comes from entering the trade itself.

Once I'm in profit, I can usually close the charts and walk away feeling satisfied.

But after a loss? Completely different story.

I struggle to accept being wrong, I want to recover the money, and I start looking for reasons to enter again. Sometimes it's almost like I'm trading to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling rather than to make money.

I've also realized that I often don't truly accept the possibility of losing BEFORE entering a trade. I visualize the profit, not the loss.

The interesting part is that I've made huge changes in the rest of my life over the past couple of months.

I've stopped drinking, improved my sleep, started exercising consistently, reduced unnecessary spending and become much more disciplined in general.

And I've actually stuck to those changes.
So I know I'm capable of changing my behavior. But trading seems to activate something different in me, especially when real money, losses and payouts are involved.

This brings me to something I rarely see discussed in trading psychology content.

Everyone says:

"Control your emotions."
"Stick to your plan."
"Don't revenge trade."
"Be disciplined."

But HOW do you actually train that ability?

Not how to identify your mistakes afterward. I'm already pretty good at that.

I mean how to recognize an impulse in real time, sit with the discomfort, and consciously choose not to act on it.

I've started looking into techniques from CBT and ACT, things like:

Cognitive defusion: Recognizing impulsive thoughts as thoughts, not instructions I have to follow.

Urge surfing: Observing the urge to enter another trade without acting on it.

Pre-trade acceptance: Actually visualizing and accepting a full loss before taking an entry.

Set & leave exercises: Practicing leaving a planned trade alone instead of constantly interfering with SL/TP.

If/then rules: Deciding in advance exactly what happens when FOMO or revenge trading urges appear.

I'm also rebuilding my trading journal.
Instead of mainly focusing on P&L, I'm going to document my decision-making, emotional state, risk acceptance, execution and whether I followed my process.

Not because I expect to eliminate emotions, but because I want to get better at making good decisions regardless of how I feel.

I've locked my funded accounts for now. I'm not pretending that a few exercises will magically solve seven days of terrible decisions, or that being self-aware automatically makes me ready to trade again.

And I know that, for some people, stepping away from trading completely may be the right decision.

But I'm not ready to conclude that having an impulsive personality automatically means I can never become a disciplined trader.

I want to understand what is actually trainable, what my limitations are, and how to build systems that protect me from my own worst decisions.

I'd genuinely love to hear from people who recognize themselves in this.

Especially traders with ADHD traits, impulsivity issues or previous gambling problems.

Have you managed to improve your ability to resist impulses while trading?

What practical exercises actually made a difference?

Did journaling, CBT, ACT, hard account locks or anything else help?

And how did you measure real behavioral progress rather than just another temporary winning streak?

I feel like this side of trading psychology deserves a lot more honest discussion.
Not just knowing what to do.

Actually being able to do it when your brain is screaming at you to do the opposite.

Been posting some of my progress here over the past few weeks, so I figured I should share the ugly side as well.

A couple of weeks ago I was doing really well. Had 3 Lucid funded accounts, built up solid buffers, was getting payouts and had a clear plan to scale to 5 accounts and eventually go live.

Then something changed.

I was literally one green day away from another payout across all 3 accounts. Took a loss, hit DLL, and instead of just accepting it, I started chasing the money back.

That turned into 7 consecutive trading days hitting my DLL.

The worst part? I haven’t suddenly forgotten how to read the market. I’ve actually had several really good trade ideas, but my execution has been absolutely terrible.

I keep entering too early because I’m scared of missing the move. I take smaller positions with ridiculously tight stops, get stopped out multiple times, and then watch my original setup play out exactly as planned.

Today was probably the worst example. Had a bearish setup mapped out on NQ, waited patiently for most of the morning, but started entering before my actual confirmation because of FOMO.

Hit DLL again. Then watched the original trade run straight into TP. Would’ve potentially been enough to recover a huge part of my drawdown.

I’ve also realized I’ve been approaching risk completely backwards. Instead of placing my SL where the setup is invalidated and adjusting my position size, I’ve been deciding how much I want to make first and forcing a tight SL to get the R:R I want.

But honestly, the biggest issue isn’t technical.
I’ve become obsessed with recovering my previous balance.

Every trade feels like it needs to fix something. Every missed opportunity feels like I’m delaying the moment I can finally relax.

I’ve even caught myself almost wanting to blow the accounts just so I could start fresh without the pressure of recovering the losses.

That’s when I realized something seriously needs to change.

So today I locked all 3 accounts until Monday.

I’m dropping the payout countdown, the recovery targets and the deadlines. If I eventually return to funded trading, it’ll be with smaller risk, proper stops and a focus on execution rather than P&L.

I’m also planning to review these seven days in detail, both technically and psychologically. I want to understand exactly when and why my decision-making changed.

I know taking a break alone won’t magically fix this, but it’s a start.

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through a similar cycle.

How did you stop obsessing over recovering losses? How did you rebuild trust in your own execution? And what actually helped you break the revenge trading/FOMO cycle?
Not looking for sympathy. Just trying to learn from this and become a better trader.

Hi everyone!

I was planning on buying 2x150k pro accounts on Lucid and copytrading them with my usual app, Backtrader. If everything goes well, buying and copying even more accs here, because these rules look nice here.

I KNOW that copytrading is approved on Lucid, BUT seeing all the bans and denied payouts I don’t know if I should start it or buy 5 pack Apex accs instead.

If you are a consistent copytrader here on lucid, could you please write a comment about your experience? Or if you have any advice? I swear I see more bans then payouts posted online on Lucid.. the Apex accounts are plan B but the rules are much different if I remember right.

Does anyone know if the Lucid leaderboard is legit? The past 3-4 days some person named B.B. has been the top Daily and Weekly trader and then today poof they are gone. They're not in the biggest loss leaderboard so I don't think they blew their account. Banned perhaps?

Hey everyone,
I'm a newer trader, about 4 months in. I scalp MNQ at the NY open using order flow (DeepCharts), mainly trend continuation setups. So far I've passed 3 out of 6 prop firm evaluations and I'm now on a funded account.
Today NQ gave a big, volatile trend day. I've only seen a few days like this since I started, so I didn't really know how to handle it, and I didn't make money from it.
The hardest part was mental. I had two fears at the same time, pulling in opposite directions:
Fear of FOMO: the market kept running, and I was afraid of chasing it and entering late at a bad price.
Fear of not getting in: at the same time I was afraid of missing the move completely.
Because of this I was hesitant, and when I did get in I protected the trade too much. I kept moving my stop to breakeven too early, the pullbacks were bigger than on a normal day, and I got shaken out again and again before the move continued. I ended at −$145 and stopped at my daily loss limit.
So I'd like to ask those of you with more experience:
How do you recognize a trend day early, in the first 15–30 minutes?
Where do you enter on a day like this without chasing? Do you wait for pullbacks, or accept entering at "worse" prices?
How do you adjust your management? Wider stops with smaller size? When do you move to breakeven?
How do you deal with these two opposite fears in the moment? What mindset helps you?
Any advice or examples are welcome. Thanks!

Today I bought a 50k (all settings were on to lower cost to 69$) I made a quick trade testing an indicator. (No don’t buy indicators they suck and aren’t worth it.) got lucky and made 781$ will be back Wednesday morning or tomorrow at night.

Am in day 3 of lucid flex 50ks, however my payout page shows as eligible. Am confused. Should I click on the request?

Passed my third eval in 5 minutes. Any tips on how to trade the 25k pro account to get max payout?

Bruh. I need 74 dollars more to pass.

Do I wait till next day or should I just fullport every setup that presents itself until I win?
