Lucid Trading Inactivity Policy Explained

Lucid Trading enforces inactivity policies to maintain system performance. Active accounts deactivate after 30 days without trading following two email warnings. Breached accounts auto-delete after 30 days unless reset or manually removed.

Understanding these timelines prevents unexpected account loss.

Quick heads-up: This article is based on my real experience with Lucid Trading and the info available when I published/updated this. Things change in prop trading — rules, payouts, promos, all of it.

Active Account Inactivity Policy

Lucid doesn't require daily trading, but accounts need periodic activity to avoid deactivation.

Day 20: Account flagged, first email warning sent. 10 days until deactivation.

Day 25: Second email reminder. 5 days remaining.

Day 30: Account deactivates automatically without trading or response. Evaluation progress forfeited. Funded accounts lose active status and accumulated profits.

What Counts as "Activity"

Any trade execution resets the timer—profit/loss and position size don't matter. Single micro contract for +$10 or -$15 equally resets to Day 0.

Resets timer: Any futures trade execution (ES, MES, etc.) regardless of outcome.

Doesn't reset: Logging in, reviewing stats, requesting payouts, contacting support.

Trade at least once every 29 days to maintain active status indefinitely.

Managing Multiple Accounts

Traders with multiple Lucid accounts need activity tracking to avoid accidental deactivation:

Evaluation accounts: Purchase 3x $100K evaluations, focus on one, leave others as backup. After 30 days inactivity, backups deactivate—forfeiting $299 each.

Funded accounts: Pass multiple evaluations, focus on best-performer, keep others dormant. After 30 days, dormant accounts deactivate permanently.

Solution: Set reminders every 20-25 days to execute at least one trade per account. Even break-even or small loss trades maintain status.

Responding to Inactivity Emails

Emails sent Day 20 and Day 25 to registered address. Check spam/promotions folders.

Best response: Execute any trade before Day 30. Resets timer completely.

Accept deactivation: Ignore emails if you no longer want the account (failed eval, underperforming funded, consolidated to fewer accounts).

Breached Account Policy

Breach Max Loss Limit = account marks "breached" and stops allowing trades.

30-day auto-deletion: Lucid deletes all breached accounts 30 days after breach unless you reset or manually remove.

Reset option: Purchase reset anytime during 30 days (typically 20% discount). Removes from deletion queue, provides fresh attempt.

Manual removal: Navigate to dashboard, remove breached account before auto-deletion. Useful when you've reset to new account and want to clean up old one.

No extensions: Cannot extend 30-day countdown. Must reset or manually remove—no "keep breached indefinitely" option.

Deactivation vs Breach vs Deletion

Understanding the difference between these three account states prevents confusion:

Deactivated accounts result from inactivity and cannot be recovered. You forfeit any progress toward profit targets on evaluations. On funded accounts, you lose active funded status and any accumulated profits not yet withdrawn. You must purchase new evaluation or reapply for funded status if you want to resume trading with Lucid.

Breached accounts remain eligible for reset during the 30-day window. This gives you time to decide whether to retry the same account size or move to a different account tier. Some traders reset immediately to continue their momentum, while others take time to review what went wrong before purchasing reset.

Deleted accounts are permanently removed from the system with all associated data. Whether manually deleted or auto-deleted after 30 days, these accounts cannot be restored under any circumstances. The trade history, performance metrics, and account details are completely erased from Lucid's database.

Manual Account Removal Process

Proactively remove breached accounts instead of waiting for 30-day auto-deletion.

Step 1: Log into dashboard showing all accounts.

Step 2: Find "Remove Account" button in account management. Refresh if it doesn't appear. Only displays for breached accounts.

Step 3: Check acknowledgment box confirming deletion is irreversible.

Step 4: Complete deletion. Account immediately disappears. All data, trade history, progress permanently erased.

Useful when you've reset and want to clean up old breached account from dashboard.

Best Practices

Calendar reminders: Set recurring reminders every 20 days to trade each account. Provides 10-day buffer.

Consolidate accounts: Managing 4-5 dormant accounts becomes overwhelming. Focus on 1-2 primary accounts.

Trade micro contracts: Use MES for activity maintenance. Risk $10-$20 to reset clock without significant exposure.

Monitor email: Check registered email (including spam) for Day 20 and Day 25 warnings.

Document breach dates: Note breach dates in spreadsheet, add 30 days for auto-deletion deadline. Decide before that date: reset or allow deletion.

Bottom Line

Lucid deactivates active accounts after 30 days without trading (warnings Day 20 and 25). Breached accounts auto-delete 30 days after breach unless reset. Both policies maintain database efficiency.

Trade at least once every 20-25 days per account. Set reminders, use micro contracts for low-risk activity maintenance, monitor email warnings. Breached accounts: reset to retry, manually remove to clean up dashboard, or allow auto-deletion if abandoning.

Deactivation and deletion are permanent with no recovery. Manage activity proactively to avoid losing progress or funded status.
