Lucid Trading trade copier

Lucid Trading’s copy trading rules

From Lucid Trading’s own pages, checked on October 29, 2026. Firms change these rules often: open the sources and confirm before you start.

• Copiers are allowed. Lucid: “Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted.” “All automated activity must comply with Lucid Trading rules.”
• You are responsible. “Traders are fully responsible for any software errors, malfunctions, or unintended outcomes.”
• No hedging, anywhere. Lucid bans hedging across one user’s accounts, between users and between firms, including a Mini against a Micro of the same contract and correlated contracts such as long ES against short NQ.
• Live accounts. “Hedging live accounts is strictly prohibited by both Lucid and the CME. This includes any copytrader issues that may arise.”
• Account limits. “Up to 10 active evaluation accounts per household or family,” “Up to 5 active funded accounts per household or family,” and “a maximum of 10 accounts in total”.

What Replica does on Lucid Trading accounts

• Any of your Lucid Trading accounts can lead or follow, at its own multiplier from ×0.1 to ×5, rounded up to a whole contract.
• Mix firms in one group. A leader on one firm can copy into followers at other firms and on other connections.
• Fill-driven copying. Followers are sent their orders when the leader fills, so a cancelled leader order never leaves a stray order on a follower.
• A risk limit per account. Set Daily Loss, Daily Profit and Trades Limit on every account, inside the firm’s own limits, with optional Enforce.
• One-click exits. Flatten closes one account and Flatten All closes the whole group, on the first click.
• Unlimited accounts, no per-account fees. One price however many accounts you copy into.

What to watch

• Each account keeps its own limits. Copying does not merge accounts: every account has its own drawdown, daily loss and size limit at the firm.
• Fill prices can differ. Followers enter at market after the leader fills, so in fast markets their prices can differ from the leader’s.
• One copier per account. Turn off any other copier on the accounts Replica copies into; two copiers copy every trade twice.
• Same direction only. Copying into opposite positions across accounts is hedging, and firms ban it.
• MetaTrader 4 or 5, forex, crypto or stocks. Replica is for futures only.
• Mac, phone and cloud versions. Not yet: they are coming soon. Today Replica runs on Windows and copies only while the app is open.
• TradingView alerts or webhooks as a leader. Replica copies trades that fill on the leader account, not alerts.

How to set it up

1. Check whether each Lucid account trades through Tradovate (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView) or Rithmic.
2. Install Replica on the Windows PC you trade from and sign in.
3. Open Connections: choose Tradovate (or NinjaTrader) and sign in on Tradovate’s page, or choose Rithmic and enter the login and System Lucid gives you.
4. Turn off any other copier on those accounts, including R|Trader Pro’s copier on Rithmic.
5. Create a copy group in Cockpit, all in the same direction. When followers trade Micros against a Mini leader, every account stays on the same side.
6. Set a daily loss limit on every account on the Risk page, inside Lucid’s own limits, and test with one micro contract.
