@iamJMinx @ajtradinglucid Thank goodness you called this guy out with proof. Dude comes crying to twitter when he’s at fault. Not telling the whole truth.
English
@ajtradinglucid The second redact is another person? So essentially he lied it was for "group trading" it was legit copy trading with another person.
English
Ask and you shall receive.
Here is a screenshot of our automated cross user positioning plot. This is just one example we have on your trading.
Joint entries an exits down to almost a ms.
You cannot copy trade across multiple user at Lucid or any other firm.
Enjoy your ban.
Turbo Trades@TurboTrades1
I reached out to @TradingLucid directly in their Discord after the ban. Simple question: If you’re accusing me of “fraudulent activity” because people were copy trading me… then prove it. Show me the evidence. Show me what I did wrong. Instead of providing ANY proof… they just banned me. That’s it. No explanation. No transparency. No accountability. Just throwing around the word “fraud” with nothing to back it up. If you’re going to accuse someone of something that serious, at least have the evidence to stand on it. This wasn’t about fraud this was about not wanting to pay out. Straight up. Absolutely horrible experience. 0/10. Stay far away.

@TurboTrades1 @TradingLucid You keep getting banned at different prop firms. More to the story for sure.
English
I GOT BANNED ON @TradingLucid
story:
I made a promise to my Discord
we’d run a 0 → $10K challenge with a prop firm the community chose.
They voted @TradingLucid
So we ran it.
From eval → funded → $10K payout request in just 10 days.
Over $20K in total profits. All done LIVE
teaching entries, stop losses, and full execution while people followed along and learned.
Then…
I got banned.
All the accounts get closed
Reason? “Fraudulent activity” because people were copying my trades.
Let that sink in.
If I was losing money, they’d have no issue. They’d gladly collect from me and everyone using their platform.
But the moment we win?
The moment we hit payout?
Now it’s a problem.
There are thousands of traders streaming, teaching, and having others follow along across YouTube, TikTok, Discord but somehow it’s only an issue when you’re actually profitable.
Instead of honoring the payout, they labeled it fraud and shut it down.
0/10 experience.
I was genuinely excited to work with them…
but this showed me everything I needed to see.
If you’re thinking about using them think twice.

@zoomyzoomm @CatabolicState Watch your language. What if Grok really is retarded.

Now a lot of you might have this doubt, the maximum allocation in Lucid is 5 accounts, so how did I pass 12 accounts?
Here’s what I did.
I passed all 12 accounts, but right now I can actively trade only 5 accounts under their max allocation rule with Lucid.
The remaining 7 accounts are my backup.
So let’s say if something happens and I blow those 5 active accounts, I don’t have to wait, purchase new accounts, or go through the evaluation phase again.
I already have 7 accounts ready in reserve.
All I have to do is activate 5 out of those 7 accounts and start trading again immediately.
This is how I usually approach prop firm trading I always build a backup.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s Lucid or any other prop firm, but especially with Lucid, I always make sure I have backup accounts ready.
Because if I lose my active accounts, I can instantly replace them and keep trading without wasting time on evaluations again.

@TurboTrades1 @Topstep Maybe YOU should prove since YOU are the one hating.
English
Update: @Topstep has now permanently banned my accounts over a “hedging” accusation yet they still haven’t provided a single piece of proof.
I spent months building these accounts up to over $150,000 in total buffer, with two accounts sitting around $75,000 in profit each. I had already requested payouts and was close to qualifying for a live account transfer.
Instead of any real explanation, I received a generic email making the allegation, and despite reaching out to support multiple times, no actual evidence has been shown.
After putting in the work and growing the accounts legitimately, having everything shut down like this with zero transparency is extremely disappointing.
Bullshit firm
@MichaelPatak owes everyone money at this point HAHAHA
English
@TurboTrades1 @Topstep everytime you see one of these posts you know there is more to the story than the individual wants you to know and nearly everytime its a reasonable ban
English
@I_Am_The_ICT 50k account at topstep or Tradeify, trade 2-3 micros or 25k account at lucid and trade 1-2 micros. Thats all you need.
English
Sincere question...
I have a relative who wants to trade but can't afford to fund a cash account.
They asked what prop firm, what plan is ideal for a single account?
He will see your replies.
English
@thebrianstonk @MichaelPatak I’m getting better fills on project X compared to Tradovate too. There’s not competition in my eyes.
English
@MichaelPatak Got to say there has been zero outages with project x the last few months I’ve been on.
The features on proj X is ahead of the competitors.
English
All these other prop firms that now have manual lockout are gonna start 2 see their pass rates increase 👆their payouts increase 👆… just a heads up … we are proud 2have pioneered this feature, starting this trend waaay back over a year ago for our trading community…
BrianStonk@thebrianstonk
Finished Friday (+$32K) and tested the NEW manual lockout so I don’t give anything back. 🔥 My orange friend told me when to enter and then when we should stop. 🐈 Hope everyone’s doing well. Make sure to enjoy the weekend. 👊
English
It really annoys me seeing all the complaints again because @Topstep banned someone.
Guys… Topstep isn’t some random firm that appeared yesterday.
Why don’t you read the rules before trading?
Who are you mad at now?
First there was the hedging drama — people shocked they got banned for hedging.
Now I see a wave of posts crying about bans for copy trading in concert with other traders.
If you break the rules, what do you expect?
Honestly, posting rants on X just for attention and blaming prop firms (not only Topstep) is getting old.
Read the rulebook.
Spend 30 minutes.
Understand what you signed up for.
Then trade and get paid.
It’s really that simple.

@dhesi_trades @dontbsalti Why can’t Dhesi get a live account from topstep after all these years? Always posting massive P&Ls but doesn’t get moved to live? Cause it’s called gambling!
English
@dontbsalti Maybe they are different accounts 🙀😱😱😱😱😱
I also have a third that has consistency on it? Wanna see that one too 😹😹
English
@dontbsalti Dhesi posts massive P&Ls then the next week he’s trading combines again. Yeah yeah I get it you got a massive payout from apex. These influencers only post green so they can get people into their discord. They gamble their way to payouts.
English
@sevenscampbell @thebrianstonk Every single affiliate is doing the same thing. Brian just got called out for some reason.
English
Show me one single video where you explain during this past month to your followers that you spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on evals and resets funded by affiliate money to reach this so-called 'milestone.' That money wasn't accessible to them, and it wasn't available to you either until you built a community largely made up of misguided teens.
All you told them was that you're a 'Master of Silver,' Not you blew a SHIT ton of accounts of screen and removed those accounts on the journals... Cherry picking one post from 2024 to show you spend 150k... How many of your new followers since will even see that post? I'm sure the actual total spent (especially during this last run to '5mil') is easily 3x or more what youve admitted. That's also exactly why you stopped streaming during JAN during that period and only showcased the wins. Enjoy the downfall..

I’ve always been transparent about my expenses and payouts. And it still surprises people.
At the end of the day, what matters in this business is how much you’re profiting relative to what you spent.
ROI is everything.
Profit divided by expenses.
It’s one of the clearest indicators of real success, especially when 90% of prop traders are net negative.
Across all the prop firms I trade, my ROI typically ranges anywhere from 3x to 10x.
And I’m happy for anyone who is net positive, because that means you’re profitable, you made money, and that’s all that matters.
There’s more I’d like to talk about, but I’ll speak when it’s appropriate.
BrianStonk@thebrianstonk
People are surprised I spent ~$150k on prop firm expenses this year. But how much is appropriate to spend when you’re pulling in +$700k in payouts?

@thebrianstonk Well if he’s a good trader and manages risk then he should be fine.
English
This user was moved live after just 2 payouts with $130k in profits remaining.
Now he’s says his live account starts with only $10k! 😳
While the rest is locked away, and can be fully forfeited if he loses that small initial balance. 🫣
Levi@Levi_trades
I was moved LIVE with Topstep after 2 payouts on my accounts that currently sit at a total of $130k in profits. As of 2/9/26 they came out with new rules for the live transition where I will be getting a live account that starts at $10k balance. How is it fair that I just went from $130k in XFA profits to a live with $10k balance? @Topstep @MichaelPatak t.co/LOv4uqBfel

🚨 NEW Topstep Live Transition
Topstep can move you live at their own discretion, with up to 20% of your transitioned balance.
If you lose that 20% initial balance, the remaining 80% is forfeited.
The downfall of Topstep 📉
BrianStonk@thebrianstonk
🚨 Breaking Prop News Topstep just changed their live structure. When you move to live, you’ll now start with only 20% of your earned balance. The remaining 80% is withheld and only released after you hit a defined profit target.

Dashgate 2025 - And they dropped the ball at @Tradeify on day one wow. Strangely worded rules out the door that could be comprehended two different ways. Platform allows you to trade 2 mini AND 10 micro then allows no more. But rules say position of "2 minis - 10 micro" so which was it? You can do it, you can't do it?
Dash does not mean does not mean "OR" in logic, literary logic, a dash connects two things, the platform allowed it. Anyway thousands will reset due to poor wording. Can you just put the word "or" guys or I dunno... THIS clarification that you tweeted in the rules.
Tradeify support was absent for the first 6 hours answering questions from ambassadors all night, we were bombarding them with this very question only to find out 14 hours after the tourney started many people will be banned.
Tournaments never go smoothly in this space... sigh. Waiting for the day one company thinks it through from the start. Anyway, sorry to the thousands of you out there who will have their first day reset due to their mistake - not yours
Brett Simba@BrettSimba
🚨 Tradeify Grand Cup Rules 🚨 READ ENTIRELY 🗣️ You cannot trade micros/minis at the same time. The max allowed on each at one time is 2 minis or 10 micros. Allowed: Long 1 NQ Long 1 GC same time Not allowed: Long 1 NQ Long 5 MES at same time Long 2 NQ Long 1 ES at same time If balance is above 5k AFTER EOD report, then next session you will be scaled up to 5 minis or 20 micros. If you breached these rules yesterday or this morning, at EOD you will be reset. This reset will be FREE and will not count towards your 3 resets.
English
Looks like alot of people didn't listen to rules and used more than 2 minis at once. Should see ton of breaches tomorrow off the leaderboard!
