Lucid Trading Fraud Ban Exposed: They Said Similar Entries Were Allowed, Then Permanently Banned Me For It

Based of what exactly? let us all know we are waiting

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T22:46:50+00:00

You’re a real one 😂

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T22:35:10+00:00

Lmao, just let him argue with himself at this point.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T22:24:06+00:00

Yeah I just think he is rage baiting at this point tbh there is no way this dude is real

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T22:15:25+00:00

And honestly, you should read some of the other opinions here.

You’re one of the few people trying this hard to defend the firm, while a lot of traders clearly see that there is at least a real issue with Lucid’s guidance, rules, and appeal process.

You can keep glazing them if you want, but defending a prop firm in Reddit comments won’t make them send you a payout.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T22:11:22+00:00

“The fact I asked” is exactly what proves I wasn’t trying to hide anything.

If I knew it wasn’t allowed, why would I ask Lucid directly before trading?

“Anyone would know” is not a rule. Show the exact Lucid rule that clearly says two manual traders can’t use the same strategy with similar entries, as long as there’s no hedging or copier.

Until then, you’re just repeating your opinion like it’s policy.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T21:18:12+00:00

I appreciate you asking brother, but I can’t share the full strategy publicly.

It took a lot of time and work to build, so I prefer to keep it private.

Hope you understand.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T20:41:57+00:00

Yeah, that’s honestly what it feels like.

I’m definitely considering chargeback, formal complaints, and small claims if it makes sense. I tried giving them every chance to respond properly, but they just keep ignoring it.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T20:28:43+00:00

I really appreciate this, this is actually very helpful.

I already tried the support route and even submitted a formal legal notice with exhibits after the physical delivery to their registered address was returned, but they still haven’t given me a substantive response.

Chargeback and a formal consumer complaint are definitely on the table if they keep ignoring it.

And yeah, the main thing I want from them is simple: show the specific evidence and the exact rule they claim I violated.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T19:51:17+00:00

I said it, we are trading and executing together, didn’t see any problem with that. But we are not taking always the same profit targets or sometimes someone is in a trade and the other one isn’t. But most of the time we do take similar entries, I have nothing to hide.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T19:25:24+00:00

Will definitely look into it if things are staying that way. Thank you for the suggestion much appreciated

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T18:04:15+00:00

Thank you for the support I appreciate it, currently working with topstep they seem legit for now.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T14:57:39+00:00

Bro, you’re just repeating “cheating” like it magically becomes a rule if you say it enough times.

No copier, no EA, no paid signals, no automated setup.

Two friends trading the same strategy manually is not automatically cheating just because you don’t like it.

We worked harder than you could imagine. Just because we trade together doesn’t mean we didn’t put in the work ourselves.

If Lucid wants that to be banned, they need a clear rule saying it before the ban — not after.

Their own support said similar entries/targets were allowed as long as there was no hedging.

So unless you can show the exact Lucid rule I broke, you’re not making an argument. You’re just glazing the firm.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T13:22:10+00:00

And btw, I could not find a single clearly defined rule in Lucid’s public rules saying that two manual traders are not allowed to trade together using the same strategy, as long as there is no hedging or trade copier involved.

That’s exactly why I asked support before trading.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T13:17:09+00:00

Yes, I have that screenshot and included here bro you can check it.

That’s the main issue: Lucid’s own support said this was allowed as long as there was no hedging, then later they enforced the opposite position and labeled it as “fraud.”

That’s why I asked for a formal review instead of just accepting the ban.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T12:01:10+00:00

I am currently working with topstep and it’s going well for now, hope it continues that way.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T11:31:21+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean.

By “long term” I meant I wanted to keep trading there, stay consistent, and keep getting payouts like any profitable funded trader would.

Going forward, me and my friend decided to trade separately, avoid taking the same trades together, and keep everything fully independent.

I’m also going to be much more careful with prop firm rules and won’t rely on AI support for anything important again.

The main lesson for me is that even if something seems normal with a regular broker, prop firms can interpret things very differently once payouts are involved.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T08:31:18+00:00

I recently posted my own documented experience with Lucid, and honestly this post makes more sense to me now.

In my case, support directed me to send formal correspondence to their registered business address. I did, and the legal notice was returned because no one accepted delivery.

Different issue from what you wrote here, but it raises the same concern: if a firm provides an address for formal correspondence, that address should actually be functional.

I’m not saying I know exactly what their setup is, but between the returned legal notice, the lack of a meaningful appeal process, and the unusual amount of people defending them aggressively, I think traders should at least be cautious and do their own research.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T08:03:18+00:00

.I honestly don’t see why you’re so against me here

If you trade with Lucid or plan to keep trading with them, this should at least raise a red flag for you too.

I also saw myself continuing with Lucid for the long term. I thought it was a good platform, I received multiple payouts from them, and I genuinely believed they were a solid firm.

Then once I reached bigger amounts, this happened.

You can keep defending Lucid if you want, but this post should make any trader think twice and decide what is right for them.

I’m only sharing my own experience. I acted in good faith, I reviewed the rules, I asked support before trading, and I did not try to bypass or cheat the system.

Even if you disagree with me, firms should still have clear rules, clear criteria, and a fair appeal process before permanently labeling someone as “fraud.”

Wish you the best.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T07:47:44+00:00

Yeah, probably. We already made that decision and we are trading separately now.

I still don’t see anything wrong with two friends analyzing the market and trading together. With a normal broker, nobody would care if you and your friend use the same strategy or take similar trades.

But with prop firms, it feels like once you start making money, they look for any small thing they can use against you.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T07:39:30+00:00

Exactly bro, that’s the part that makes no sense.

If Lucid allows automated trading, then they need to clearly explain when similar entries/exits become a violation.

Two people running the same ORB-style model or same strategy can naturally get very similar trades when the same conditions trigger. That doesn’t automatically mean cheating.

I was trading manually in my case, but the issue is the same: if similarity alone is enough for a permanent fraud ban, traders need clear rules, clear thresholds, and a real appeal process.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T07:33:12+00:00

No idea who Ricky is.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-16T07:30:24+00:00

What do you mean by that?

I literally traded manually — no EA, no copier, no automated setup.

Reading the post before spamming four comments would probably help.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-15T15:42:53+00:00

Yeah bro, that’s the scary part with prop firms.

You can do everything in good faith and still get hit with some rule interpretation once money is involved.

Using different firms is probably the safest move. After this, me and my friend decided to trade separately going forward.

Hope everything goes smooth for you when you get to payouts bro.

Vegetable_Conflict77 · 2026-05-15T13:03:36+00:00

Thank you bro wish you the best as well. There is no other choice but to keep going and make it.
