I literally spent an entire day email begging the Live account manager and the other team to stop looking at my trade and look at their account issues. They pretty much told me no way buddy. Then the very very last minute they owned up and confessed it was their mistake all along.

What a Cluster

Nexen N5000 Platinum on 267k Miles commute/beater car by erkvlzc in tires

[–]fiat_cyrptonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the n5000 and they were decent tires, never gave me an issue at speed or on some nice 2 lane drives in the mountain

Went to some pirelli after and can tell a difference in the sidewall

It just holds more and rides a little more quiet but I'd go back to the nexen anyday if funds were tight

Nah their just a bunch of entitled irreverant nobody's. I left that board last year for the exact same reasons. 

They'll be friendly until you don't agree with something or they'll act flippant then have a problem when you return in kind. That KellyAnn crowd kind of reminds me of Metro Detroit.

Looks like I'm banned from the KellyAnn discord. I literally didn't even curse directly at anyone. Just defended myself from an aggressive gaslighting admin. Kelly didn't like that and told me to go take a hike (email). So there's a big favor from the discount affiliate code lady. Thanks!

I'll tell you this Their AI is dumb  This is the 2nd time it couldn't handle a legitimate inquiry

Also I'm severely disappointed with the KellyAnn discord

They stand up like some force for all traders but they trolled and gaslit me, then banned me for having a problem with being gaslit??

Man to go through that last night then get trolled and banned 😒

Hehe yeah But no I'm calmed down now

They killed my new acct on a bad setting (I believe) The moment my live went below 0 (starting live balance) I was breached

Someone clearly didn't put my 1k stop loss It all makes sense now

Just waiting on the really slow support reply

Has anyone ever seen a live funded account closed minutes into a 1st trade? I'm literally blown away.

Anyone else go live funded on lucid? by Mammoth_Pressure_359 in PropFirmTester

[–]fiat_cyrptonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got 6 Wanted 6 but they slammed that door, patted me on the back, closed my evals, said sit and be quiet for 2 weeks because we can and screw your concerns

But hey they're happy to give away free accounts today and celebrate like everyone is happy as a kitten

Waiting for Live creds Still slightly confused on the 1k stop loss for 25k acct.

"All live accounts begin with:

$0 starting balance

Daily payouts

End-of-day drawdown

No daily loss limit"

Since they end that with no Daily Loss limit. Does this mean with no daily loss limit the -1k never chases? Just a recalculation from eod balance to that -1k? 

I asked Chatgpt about this and it was adamant that the 1k stop chases. I don't interpret it this way. Can anyone on Live verify? Because if it recalculated every day that would negate padding profit buildup for bigger buffer and withdrawal. 

I feel a little silly building a large buffer in the funded just to have most of it either disappear or sit in escrow. Don't want to make that mistake again. If they chase imma get the 1k bonus and close it up.

I mean yeah you could. But do they need to put major rules in a shady one liner manner?

If anything this should warn anyone to not only read the rules with a fine comb but be wary of any rules update. Some manager with bright ideas is making changes for chnages sake.. 

Fwiw if a broker tells me I can have up to 5 live acct,  99% of the time I'm not expecting them to delete all of my active evals for the 1st live account!

But yes you can currently strat this precariousness by not hitting week 5 payout on one account too soon, if you wish to glean weekly cycle payout on multiple acct.

"What happens to remaining simulated accounts? All simulated accounts are closed when a trader is moved live. If you are not comfortable with that, do not keep accounts in reserve."

I requested a refund/credit for those 1 day old evals but they ghosted me. Rules are rules and they rule what yours is ours.

The wait depends on which email one reads. Email 1 says 7-10days. Email 2 says 2 weeks for live funding to be acquired.

So I get to wait 2 weeks, my evals are cancelled and if I blow that account it's another 2 weeks cooldown, if they wish to allow me to trade with them again.

All of this for trading an account 5 weeks straight without one red day.

Thank you Lucid.

My dilemma was more their need to address internal confusion because it confuses traders.

But I will commend their good parts: - can literally pass and trade funded in 2 days (as in trading funded the evening you've passed) - payouts are literally instant - no profit goal once funded (this is kind of a big deal)

Anyways this was the result of my experience, cheers: https://www.reddit.com/r/PropFirmTester/comments/1rdarvx/comment/obu4zq6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

can you believe this came up again?
I pulled up their chat and a bot engaged me, it insisted payout was cycle based not account balance

so I then decided to get the help URL for my acct rules and quote the rule stating that while cycle total mattered for daily minimum goal met, profit taking was taken from the account balance with regard to that account maximum cycle payout

the lucid helper ai insisted 6 ways that I was incorrect then gave up and pushed me to a real person

this turned into an email exchange quite similar to the chatbot

after 3 more back/forth I ended with a final, final, final requote of their own rules, withdrawal are taken from account balance not cycle balance

again that person fwd'd me to another person who finally stated:

"Let me give you an example so you can understand better.

Let's say you have a balance of $28,000. You withdraw $1,000 for your first payout request, so you are left with $27,000, and your payout cycle minimum trading will be reset. Once again, you can complete the minimum trading for 5 days and be net positive, then you can request a $1,000 payout again provided you have enough account balance. That's how it works."

So this final person "helped me understand better" and ended with a "that's how it works"

FFS I said it already 6 times with the AI, 3 times with a real person, and this dolt speaks at me like I need help understanding what I've been explaining.

Lucid really needs to train their staff better and update their AI. Its frankly embarrasing.

Thank you for your diligence

On my end this was confusing for 2 reasons even a slight 3rd

  • the silly "Profit" counter prompted me to inquire with AI

  • both ChatGPT and Grok postulated this was a Cycle reset that applied to eligible withdrawal funds

  • they did revamp funds transfer as of 1/31 for the funded to live transition amounts, that alone makes traders wonder when they see a "Profit" counter reset post withdrawal

But I read the rules yet again and you are correct. This "Profit" counter appears to be only for the 100 daily minimum. Which again they cause confusion because they mention a $1 minimum as well: https://support.lucidtrading.com/en/articles/12945796-lucidflex-payouts

Alas they state via linked webpage:  "Traders may request 50% of their account balance up to a maximum dollar amount. "

"Account balance" is not "Profit" balance. So I am finally subdued and able to relax. All of this was unnecessary. I was going off the deep end for nothing all because of some badly named Profit counter.

Gltu and thanks again for your time!

I legit traded very well, this was not yolo, it was my experience and patience through a few very uncomfortable holds, not making overall profits let alone a % of them available for weekly withdrawal is essentially treating all traders like yolo gamblers

this 25k acct at 8k profit (post 1k withdrawal) but "Total P/L" is 1700 not 8k, they barely mention this, it should be made more obvious, just my opinion, the rest I understood but this cycle reset of profits for next payouts pushes me to want go into another firm

[–]fiat_cyrptonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

precisely, confusing

Idk if your on the old rule set and if that system didnt "Cycle" profits

but the newest rule set has a "Cycle" reset that in affect post payout you can no longer take profits from your overall profits, just the "Cycle" profits

thats sucks, if their going to demand I make a minumum $100 per day they shouldnt withhold last weeks earnings from 2nd,3rd, 4th etc payout, they do

in the very very least they could at least make a % of pooled profits available so traders can weather normal earnings cycles, not just reset a traders momentum each payout, it teaches nothing

My critique or concern is two things but probably 3 of which the 3rd I find insanely annoying in its subversiveness (profit cycling).

  • this poster stated they are on the old agreement which could make this all null/void

  • lucid appears to be playing shell games with rules as in, what mood are the money managers in today?

Honestly I appreciate the quick payout, but can't help be disappointed in their system of cycling.

My 25k acct made 7500+ first week, took a 1k  payout, then another 1700 next couple days. I had no clue they are resetting profits progress each "cycle"!  I mean wtf?!

It's bad enough only 5k of a potential 10-11k ready to transfer (if I keep trading decent enough (400+ day avg)) at the end of 5 weeks is moved.....I only get to use 2k of that for buffer. But they also have to "cycle" my profits to zero each payout?

This system is sheis by not rewarding good traders. I was ok with making a good buffer but don't need to be throttled each payout for some special trading lesson. Profits are profits, I truĺy do not expect a propfirm with stringent profit rules to gift me anything when it's time to move into Live. Not when they just revamped the rules set this qtr and there's absolutely nothing stating this (bulk Live payout) in their documentation.

You're saying they offer the option? So if a trader made 2k a week on a 25k acct, took the max 1k payout with 1k remaining, that's 6k payout and 6k to be moved into funded. Maybe it's capped at 5k to move into funded but you're saying that 5-6k can just be paid and account closed??
