News Trading
- Allowed without restriction
- Traders may enter or exit positions around scheduled or unscheduled news events
- Important: News-driven markets are highly volatile and may involve slippage or velocity logic triggers- Sudden price movements during news events may result in slippage, influencing trade execution at unexpected prices or triggering unique order behaviors due to velocity logic mechanisms.
- Traders assume full responsibility for all outcomes when trading during news events- This responsibility emphasizes the necessity for careful planning and risk assessment, particularly during volatile conditions.
Scaling Into Trades (DCA)
- Traders are free to scale into positions or use Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)
- Lucid does not impose limits on entry methods- Scaling can serve as an effective risk management measure, allowing traders to adapt positions incrementally to varying market conditions.
Note of caution:
- While scaling is permitted, martingaling, continuously adding to losing positions in hopes of recovery, is strongly discouraged
- Martingaling can quickly escalate risk and is not considered a sustainable long-term strategy
Genuine Scalping
- Genuine scalping is allowed
- Short-term entries and exits that reflect realistic execution and market behavior are welcome
- Traders must ensure that their activity remains within Microscalping policy guidelines
- Scalping is considered valid as long as trades are taken in good faith and not intended to manipulate fill logic
Automated Strategies
- Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted
- All automated activity must comply with Lucid Trading rules
- Traders are fully responsible for any software errors, malfunctions, or unintended outcomes
Flipping
- Flipping is allowed
- Flipping refers to taking a quick in-and-out trade for the purpose of meeting minimum trading day requirements
- While we encourage meaningful trading activity, we do not restrict this practice
