How to Copy Trade Lucid Trading Accounts: Complete Setup Guide

Lucid Trading and Copy Trading

How copy trading works: one trade on a leader account is mirrored by the copier across multiple follower accounts — A single trade on your leader account is mirrored across every Lucid Trading follower account in milliseconds.

Lucid Trading accounts run on one of two data feeds. Lucid’s help center lists NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView on CQG, and a group of Rithmic platforms including Sierra Chart, Quantower and ATAS. Accounts on the Tradovate side connect to a copier with Tradovate credentials; Rithmic-side accounts connect with their Rithmic login. Signal Trade App supports both.

This guide walks through connecting Lucid accounts to Signal Trade App, setting up copy groups, managing drawdown, and running Lucid accounts alongside accounts from other prop firms.

Why Lucid Trading Is Ideal for Copy Trading

Lucid Trading has several features that make it particularly friendly for multi-account copy traders:

Plan choice on consistency: LucidPro has no consistency rule in the evaluation (40% applies to funded payouts), and LucidFlex has none once funded (50% applies in the evaluation).
No minimum trading days: You can pass a Lucid evaluation in as few days as it takes to hit the profit target. Some traders pass in one or two sessions.
Two supported feeds: Lucid accounts connect through Tradovate or Rithmic, both of which Signal Trade App supports.
Competitive pricing: Lucid evaluations are priced aggressively, making it cost-effective to run multiple simultaneous evaluations.

Picking the plan whose consistency rule suits your style, with no minimum trading days, means copy traders can run several Lucid evaluations at once by copying one leader to several Lucid followers.

Step-by-Step: Connecting Lucid Trading to Signal Trade App

Create a Signal Trade App account and start the 5-day free trial.
Go to Connections and click Add Connection. Select Tradovate if your Lucid accounts are on the CQG/Tradovate side, or Rithmic if they are on Rithmic.
Log in with the credentials Lucid issued for that platform — Tradovate through its OAuth sign-in (choose the Prop firm environment), Rithmic with username, password and system. Your Lucid Trading accounts under that login appear as separate accounts.
Repeat for each Lucid login you want to include. Each evaluation and funded account shows up separately.
Create a copy group. Select one account as the leader (this is the account you trade) and add your other Lucid accounts as followers.
Set a copy ratio per follower and enter each account's drawdown on the Risk Mgmt page, then place a test trade to verify everything copies correctly.

Managing Drawdown on Lucid Accounts

Lucid Trading enforces a maximum drawdown rule that determines how much your account balance can decline from its peak. Before setting up copy trading, confirm whether Lucid is currently using a static drawdown (fixed from starting balance) or a trailing drawdown (follows your peak equity). This distinction changes your risk management strategy entirely.

For trailing drawdown accounts, your risk increases as the account profits. After a strong day, the drawdown floor rises, leaving less room for losses. Lucid enforces the floor itself; with Signal Trade App, handle it by:

Entering each Lucid follower's trailing drawdown on the Risk Mgmt page, so drawdown left is always in view, and setting an email alert level.
Locking a follower for the rest of the session after a set daily gain — locking flattens it and stops its copies. This prevents giving back profits that would tighten the trailing drawdown.
Monitoring peak equity levels after each session and reducing copy ratios if the remaining drawdown cushion gets tight.
Sizing each follower's copy ratio so no single trade can blow through the remaining drawdown in one fill.

Copying Across Lucid Trading and Other Firms Simultaneously

The real power of copy trading is running Lucid accounts alongside accounts from other prop firms in the same copy group. Signal Trade App supports cross-platform copying, so your copy group can include:

Lucid Trading accounts (via Tradovate or Rithmic)
Apex Trader Funding accounts (via Rithmic)
Take Profit Trader accounts (via Tradovate)
MyFundedFutures accounts (via Tradovate or Rithmic)
TradingView webhook signals as a leader source

Each follower has its own copy ratio, drawdown tracking and lockout, so managing Lucid's rules does not interfere with Take Profit Trader's or Apex's. One trade on your leader fires orders across every follower, and you can see each account's drawdown left on one page.

How Many Lucid Accounts Should You Run?

Because Lucid has no minimum trading days, and LucidPro has no consistency rule in the evaluation, it is one of the easier firms to scale quickly. A common approach is to start three to five Lucid evaluations at the same time, copy one leader to all of them, and pass whichever ones hit the profit target first. The ones that blow can be reset at a low cost.

Once funded, most traders run between 3 and 10 Lucid funded accounts alongside accounts at other firms. Signal Trade App charges the same price regardless of how many accounts you copy to — scaling from 3 to 30 followers costs nothing extra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lucid just Tradovate rebranded?

No. Lucid Trading is a prop firm with its own plans and rules. Tradovate is one of twelve platforms it supports: its help center lists NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView on CQG, plus Rithmic platforms such as Sierra Chart, Quantower and ATAS.

What consistency rules does Lucid have?

It depends on the plan. LucidPro has no consistency rule in the evaluation and a 40% rule on funded payouts; LucidFlex has a 50% rule in the evaluation and none once funded. If you copy across Lucid and another firm, track each firm's rule separately.

Can I copy across Lucid and other prop firms?

Yes. Signal Trade App connects Tradovate and Rithmic accounts, so a single copy group can include followers from Lucid and other firms even when they run on different platforms, each with its own copy ratio and drawdown tracking.

What about Lucid's EOD rules?

Lucid enforces end-of-day drawdown checks. Any open positions are marked-to-market at close. Signal Trade App does not close positions on a clock, so flatten before the close yourself — from the Cockpit, or by locking the account, which flattens it.
