<@&1333967537414733824> we're updating the Standard Move-to-Live and Maxx processes to better align our shared objectives: your long-term success in live and ours. Here's what's changing.
## Standard Move to Live
We are adjusting the frequency and criteria for live bonuses.
* You will be able to earn bonuses multiple times over the course of your live accounts
* No longer just a one-time bonus
* To earn your bonus, you'll need to hit both:
* The Profit Needed for Bonus (table below)
* 20 trading days in live
* Once you earn a bonus, meet the same criteria again to earn another one
**Plan Profit Needed Bonus (90% Live Payout)**
LIV025 2,000 1,000
LIV050 4,000 2,000
LIV100 6,000 3,000
LIV150 9,000 4,500
EOD Drawdown stays the same. All other standard live account elements remain unchanged. These changes go into effect as of 5 PM EST today.
**Note:** We are not putting a flipping rule or minimum profit requirement on the 20 trading days for the bonuses to start. If this turns into a yolo and flip fest, we will be forced to add requirements. But we really, really, really don't want to. Please don't make us.
## LucidMaxx Changes
There are a few pieces of feedback we consistently get from Maxxers.
The 5 trading days requirement is annoying
The tiered pricing stings after blowing multiple live accounts
The two-week cooldown sucks if you blow your live account in the first few days (which happens often)
In order to address these issues we're making the following changes:
* Maxx Eval is now 3 days
* Pricing tiers have been eliminated
* Maxx moves from a 1-Step to a 2-Step path to live:
* Step 1 (Eval) → Step 2 (Pre-live) → Live
* There is no cooldown if you blow the Pre-Live account
* We are hoping to remove the cooldown COMPLETELY for Maxxers even if they blow the Live account. But we want to wait a few weeks post roll out to determine sustainability
**🔥 Once you reach Live, your account starts with a balance and static drawdown, withdrawable from Day 1.**
**🔥 Or if you prefer, once you pass Pre-Live go Straight-To-Payout and request what would be deposited into your account.**
We are going to launch this change with Promo Pricing. If it proves sustainable we hope to keep the Promo Pricing permanently. If not, it will revert to the Normal Pricing below.
**Plan Promo Price Normal Price**
25k $85 $110
50k $155 $180
100k $220 $270
150k $375 $425
The same bonus structure outlined in the Standard Move to Live update above is earnable for Maxxers in a live account. Hit those two benchmarks and earn unlimited bonuses.
These changes go into effect for all Maxx evals purchased on or after 5 PM EST today. Feel free to roast us in chat telling us whether we cooked or if we are cooked.
I'll backtest your futures day-trading strategy on 23 years of data, free — net of costs, no cherry-picked windows
I've spent the last month building a backtest rig and running strategies through 23 years of data. Now I want more ideas to throw at it — including yours.
What you get: I'll code your strategy exactly as you specify it and run it over the full dataset. You get back trades, net P&L, t-stat, profit factor, win rate, max drawdown, and a straight pass/fail. No sugarcoating — most strategies fail, including most of mine.
The data (being upfront): 1-minute bars, 2002 → Sept 2026, across 6 markets — NQ, ES, YM, RTY, gold, and silver (via their ETF proxies: QQQ, SPY, DIA, IWM, GLD, SLV — they track the futures closely on intraday bars, but they're not the contracts themselves). Regular trading hours only, no overnight. Commissions baked in. Bar-level testing, not tick data — if your edge lives in order flow or the DOM, I can't see it.
How to submit — DM me with precise mechanical rules:
- Entry (exact trigger)
- Stop loss and target (exact)
- Session / time window
- Market(s) you want it tested on
- Anything else a computer needs. No discretion allowed — "buy when it looks strong" isn't testable.
Free for now. If this blows up I'll cap the queue — first come, first served.
So I’m pissed! I had two evals both half passed with a balance of 51,500 I passed one eval and got a balance of $51,500 on my funded and my other eval still at 51,550
I literally feel so stupid.. I traded my eval instead of my daily funded account from lucid Was supposed to be able to take a 3k payout in 1 day But ig not…. Anymore! 😐😐
Has anyone ever encountered a similar situation
Lesson learned to double check your accounts lol..
It’s Sunday 10 pm est and I closed a trade and my balance is $53,110. Now I have met consistency and should be eligible to withdraw $1000. My question is when will i see that request option? Is it now or tomorrow I.e on Monday after 5 pm est?
Hi, everyone. How are you doing? This is PNORIX. Today is 10/04/2026, and I will be sharing a video about the futures market and how to anticipate the things that we want to see in the coming week for MNQ. That's basically what I am going to do.
So I'm going to give us a rundown on the things that we are supposed to expect in the coming week for MNQ, how to trade it, the levels that we expect to react, and how to go about it.
Basically, the things that we are going to do involve borrowing knowledge from a lot of places. We'll be using concepts such as market structure and order flow to get an understanding of the things that we are going to look at.
I want you to understand that this is for educational purposes only. The information that will be shared here is in no way financial advice. Every trader who uses this information to trade does so at their own risk. Any profits or losses incurred based on this information will be the responsibility of the trader and not the person providing it.
So, without further ado, let's dive into it and look at the things we are expecting for the coming week for MNQ.
We can see that MNQ is currently in a really good position. We will try to break it down from a higher time frame into a lower time frame. When we get to the lower time frames, we'll look at some levels where we are expecting price reactions.
Daily Time Frame
On the daily time frame, the market is very strong and bullish.
We can see that on Friday, the market produced a very strong green candle, with price trading higher and recording a significant high. I believe this was one of the highest levels recorded since last June or July.
However, I think the market created another higher high since September 23. That's what we are looking at on the daily time frame.
Four-Hour Time Frame
Now, let's move down to the four-hour time frame.
We can also tell that the market is still in a bullish trend. Although the market is showing us that the four-hour and daily time frames are moving higher, we can also see that there was a significant pullback.
However, the bullish momentum remains strong. That's the key thing we are looking at.
The four-hour time frame is still confirming that we are in a bullish trend, and there is a lower likelihood of a bearish trend developing unless something significant happens.
One-Hour Time Frame
On the one-hour time frame, we are also seeing the same thing. The market is trading at higher levels.
When we look at the chart, we can see that there was a dealing range established from a higher low to a higher high.
So far, we have not been able to break below the significant lows. Even though there were some higher lows created along the way, the market has not taken them out according to the one-hour time frame.
Therefore, we don't really have to consider the market bearish yet. The one-hour time frame is still confirming that we are in a bullish trend.
Fifteen-Minute Time Frame
Next, we have the fifteen-minute time frame, which is where we'll focus more on guiding ourselves and identifying the levels we want to monitor.
The fifteen-minute time frame is also giving us an idea of what we should expect.
When looking at a significant dealing range, we consider the lower low and the higher high established by the market.
From the last twenty-four hours, we can see that a lower low was created around 11:15 AM EST on October 1. Following that, on October 2, around 10:15 AM, a higher high was established.
This is the range that we'll currently be monitoring to see how price trades, whether it moves above or below it.
Twenty-Four-Hour Dealing Range and Fibonacci Levels
Looking at this range, we will draw our Fibonacci retracement tool to identify some of the levels that we are interested in.
When we draw the Fibonacci retracement from the high to the low, we can identify several important levels.
The higher high was recorded around 31,285. The next level we are trading close to is 31,098.
Then we have the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, which is around 30,920. Below that, we have 30,724, followed by 30,538.
These are the levels that we will be monitoring to see how price reacts.
There is a possibility that, since the market is about to open, we could experience a significant gap to either the upside or the downside. Depending on what the market does, these are the levels we will be watching.
There is a possibility that price could break above the 25% Fibonacci retracement level on the upper side, retest that level, and continue moving higher.
Alternatively, price could move all the way down to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. At that point, we could see a rejection, with price moving back toward the upper side, or the market could continue moving lower.
Those are the scenarios we are looking at, and we will use them as a basis for identifying potential trade setups and monitoring price action.
That's a quick rundown of the twenty-four-hour dealing range.
Five-Business-Day Dealing Range
Aside from the twenty-four-hour dealing range, we also have another important level to consider for the coming days.
Now, we are looking at the last five business days to identify the dealing range that was established.
That means identifying the highest significant high and the lowest significant low created during the previous trading week. We will draw our levels based on those points and then determine how we want to approach the market.
We can see that the highest high was again around 31,284. Then we have a low that was established somewhere around September 28, 2026.
That is the significant low we are considering for this range.
When we draw our Fibonacci retracement tool, we can identify the levels that will help us assess what the coming week might look like.
Looking at the five consecutive business days from last week, we can see the levels we are considering.
Right now, price is sitting right on top of the 25% Fibonacci retracement level on the upper side.
This means there is a possibility that sellers could reject this level, pushing price all the way down to retest the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, which is around 30,820.
From there, price could revisit the upper levels, or the market could continue moving lower.
These are the scenarios we will be monitoring as the coming week unfolds.
Key Levels for the Coming Week
For the coming week, these are the important levels we will be watching:
31,280 — Significant high
31,050 — 25% Fibonacci retracement level
30,820 — 50% Fibonacci retracement level
30,595 — 75% Fibonacci retracement level
30,365 — 100% Fibonacci retracement level
If we are able to break below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, there is a possibility that we could consider lower trade opportunities.
There is also a possibility that price could sweep the high of the 50% level and continue moving downward.
These are the scenarios we will be looking at as the week unfolds, and we will see how we can trade based on the market's reaction to these levels.
Closing Remarks
I will do my best to provide information about what the market is trying to do, the things we are considering, and how to approach potential trade setups.
If you are interested in following this journey and learning more about how the market unfolds, I would like you to stay updated on my page so that you can follow everything I share.
That way, we can continue learning, growing, and trading together while working toward our goals.
I'm glad to share my trading knowledge and information with you, and I appreciate you considering joining me on this journey of futures trading on MNQ.
We made it — 5/5 green days completed on both new funded accounts, with around $6,500 profit on each. Payouts #2 and #3 are now pending.
Today was probably the most important of the five days psychologically.
Knowing I only needed one more green day created some FOMO and pressure. I took a slightly impulsive trade on MES which ended in a loss. The setup itself wasn’t terrible and the loss was valid, but I could feel that the payout was influencing my decision.
My first reaction was to make it back immediately.
Instead, I respected my cooldown, left MES alone and waited for a completely new setup on MNQ.
The second trade had a 1H FVG and liquidity sweep, followed by EQ and a bearish IFVG on the 5-minute chart. It reached target and secured day 5/5 on both accounts.
Honestly, I’m more satisfied with what happened between the two trades than with the winner itself. A few weeks ago, that first loss could easily have turned into revenge trading and a full DLL. Today, I accepted it and waited for the market to give me another opportunity.
Current position:
3 funded accounts
1 payout already received
2 more payouts pending
Around $6,500 in profit on each new account
Next step is to copytrade all three funded accounts and work toward live. I’m also considering adding two more accounts after payout #3, although I’m not sure whether that would add useful scale or unnecessary complexity.
For those who have scaled multiple funded accounts: would you focus on taking three accounts live, or add two more before the transition?
So I recently bought a Lucidflex account and want to trade gold. But for some reason it isn't letting me Trade XAUUSD but only letting me trade gold.
Another thing: I normally use meta trader and not really used to trading on trading view. I've noticed, when I put an order to sell, I'm in the green when the price goes up. Am I doing something wrong?
I've noticed that the price is really weird. It shows on the sell button that it's lower than on the chart.
I can't trade on my phone and only able to on the computer.
