Lucid Trading Reviews 

This company sticks to their word and is very quick with everything they do. Requested my first payout tonight, within 6 minutes I had the money in my bank account

I just got My First payout with Lucid approved and currently in transit to my bank acc. I can say Lucid does live up to their name!!!. They are truly a reputable company compared to most other name and they easily get a 10/10 for me. the payout process is swift and straight forward.

I went live with Lucid, hit the exact Live profit target their terms list as the trigger for the one-time Live Bonus, then requested a payout. The bonus never came.

Their reason? Eligibility is only checked at the end-of-day rollover, and since I withdrew before that, my account "didn't qualify" at review time. The problem: nowhere in the Live Bonus terms does it say you must hold the balance through EOD or that a payout forfeits the bonus. The only stated consequence of an early payout is the drawdown lock, not losing your bonus. So they enforced a condition that isn't in the rules.

Bottom line: I did everything their own rules asked and still got nothing, all because of a hidden EOD technicality they only explained after the fact. If a firm can quietly deny a payout you clearly earned, ask yourself what else they'll deny when it's your money on the line. I expected a partner, not a company looking for reasons not to pay. Do your homework before trusting them with real capital.

I wanted to wait until I got a payout from this firm, and I must say that they are by far the best prop firm overall. I have traded with other firms and this firm is unique in it of itself.

Eval: Straight forward rules. My trading style seems to align with their rules so it was perfect for me. Consistency rule isn't bad either.
There is no re-bill. You get to trade it as long as you need. THIS IS A PLUS.

Sim-Funded: No consistency which is great. No trailing (like the Eval phase) which I favor the most. I didn't have to build a "buffer". Their profitable days is not bad either. Overall, it is very, very reasonable.

Payout: NO BUFFER! That's right, NO BUFFER. I love that the most. I didn't have to worry about "making a certain amount before I request. I did hit the 5 day requirement, but as I mentioned, it is very reasonable.

Funds hit my bank within seconds. I think the self verification took longer than the payout itself. Their dashboard is the most easiest, user friendly, fool proof webpage. Like I mentioned, I have traded with other firm, and Lucid's website is very robust. Payout it is literally 3 clicks at best (plus including typing the amount you want to request).

Now, I have not been invited to live. I am looking to buy an additional account now that I have tried them out.

Company has stolen my card information and charged me $81 twice. I’ve never heard of this website nor looked at it. Tried to contact support and the chat was ended.

Good Trading Experience, But Extremely Disappointing Payout Support

I've generally enjoyed trading with Lucid Trading. The platform has been stable, the rules are straightforward, and I was able to build my account consistently.

I currently have over $15,000 in profit in my Select Funded account and have already received two successful payouts without any issues.

However, my experience with my third payout request has been very disappointing.

After qualifying for the payout, I was simply told:

"Your account has been escalated to our review team for further evaluation. Please allow 24–48 hours."

No explanation was provided as to why my account was escalated.

After waiting several days with no communication, my account was suddenly locked and I was asked to complete KYC verification again, even though I had already completed KYC previously.

I immediately completed the verification again and informed support, but my account has remained locked and I have received no meaningful response despite sending multiple follow-up messages.

The most frustrating part is not the review itself—I understand that security reviews and KYC checks are important. The issue is the complete lack of communication.

No email explaining why my account was locked.
No explanation for why a second KYC was required.
No update after completing verification.
Multiple support messages left unanswered.

When traders have significant profits and qualify for payouts, clear communication becomes even more important. A simple explanation and timely updates would go a long way toward maintaining trust.

I'm hoping this situation is resolved quickly, and if Lucid unlocks my account, completes the review, and honors my payout, I will gladly update this review to reflect that experience.

For now, I can only rate my experience based on the current lack of transparency and customer support.

Didn't have an issue with them until they banned me out of no where WITHOUT a reason. They also didn't send me an email notifying me that I was banned. I found out I was banned when I attempted to purchase an account and it wouldn't let me. When I contacted support, they simply responded with "Your account has been permanently banned. This action is final and cannot be reversed." They didn't give me the reason for my ban and they refuse to tell me why when I ask them. I'm also 100% confident I didn't violate any of their trading policies

So happy found Lucid Trading. Got my payout within 10 minutes. LOVE IT!

I got my 1st 564 doller payout supeb and thank u lucid funding

I had nothing but praise for this firm—until the Tradovate global outage on July 17 exposed just how little accountability they have when something goes wrong.

The outage incorrectly breached all five of my directly funded accounts. With no communication and no indication that the breaches were caused by a system failure, I had no choice but to assume my accounts were legitimately lost. I closed them and spent another $2,450 purchasing five replacement accounts (at roughly 10:00 AM EST).

Only after I had already incurred that expense did Lucid finally communicate the outage at 3:16 PM EST (44 minutes before the market close). I understand that they made this communication only after Tradovate informed them of the outage, but that doesn't mean you'll leave the trader holding the bag.

I then requested what I thought was a perfectly reasonable resolution: refund either the five accounts that were wrongly breached or the five replacement accounts I bought because of the communication delay. Instead of addressing my request, "Luke" from support clearly didn't even read my message. He sent an irrelevant canned response and closed the ticket. When I reopened it and asked him to actually review what I'd written, I received another copy-and-paste reply. No investigation. No accountability. No effort to understand the situation. Just a script.

Let's be clear: I didn't cause this loss. Tradovate's outage caused the false breaches, and the lack of prompt communication turned a recoverable incident into a $4,900 loss for me. Yet somehow I'm expected to absorb every dollar of that cost while the companies responsible absorb none.

This wasn't just a technical failure—it was a complete customer service failure. Systems can fail; that happens. What defines a company is how it responds. Lucid's response was dismissive and devoid of accountability.

The message to customers is painfully clear: if their platform or provider makes a mistake that costs you thousands of dollars, don't expect them to take responsibility or even genuinely review your case. They'll send you a template response, close your ticket, and leave you to pay the bill.

I can no longer recommend this firm to anyone. When everything works, they're great. When it doesn't, you're on your own.

One of the best prop firms out there as long as you follow the rules they have, you won't face any problems. I requested a payout on Friday and it got approved within the same day and I ended up receiving the funds by Monday. Would highly recommend this firm if your serious about your trading.

On Friday the 17th of July there was an issue with tradovate which meant trades were not able to be executed properly. Due to this outage I missed my trade of the day and ended on a red day (after a poor trade earlier). I was frustrated because I knew I would have ended green that day. Today I received an email from lucid saying that my account was reviewed and adjusted. To my pleasant surprise they removed my loosing trade and adjusted my day to a breakeven. It is honestly nice to know that this company is extremely fair and honest. I will continue to work with them in future as this type of thing is not seen often in today’s world. Thank you for your objectivity!

Really terrible at customer service and they will try to take you out without any reason n without explanation dont recommend using this firm

NGL i didn't knew their rule about cardsharing cause i gave my card to my brother to use on a different lucid account. Instead of banning both the accounts they gave me a choice and i really appreciate they gave me a second chance otherwise other prop firms would have banned me by now.

worst thing ever!! got my first payout and didnt recive it they just deactiavte my account i was trying to get verefied and i couldt so i typed to support then support banned me. THE MESSAGE I RECIVED FROM LUCID

Recommend firm

Had my first payout from lucid. They deliver what they had promised. Everything went smooth from kyc to registering on workmarket and payout. Would recommend to everybody whosoever wants to grow in trading space.

The best in business. I was with topstep and was hesistant few months. Everything about lucid is topknotch. The infrastructure, automation, payout process. Easy breezy and quick!

I have tried it all, and Lucid is #1 in my eyes. I have spent alot of money on accounts but also made alot.

One of the best prop firms out there! very fast with payouts, UI is soo cleann! and the brand itself is very close to the consumers rather then corparate business oriented.
