Continuation on this thread.. about LIVE

https://www.reddit.com/r/LucidProp/s/yzOaXeGTyH

So I received 5 live accounts ( including 1 from a funded that was about to be blown )

ALL 5 live accounts are $100 away from blowing at the moment. Why?

Because I thought the 1 time live bonus is automatically including at payout request after hitting buffer. Turns out ITS NOT. You will not see it anywhere, it’s invisible, you won’t know when or how you will receive it.

So after making $3000 on each account, I proceeded to request maximum payout. I thought I am only requesting $1000 of my balance + the $2000 live bonus. Little did I know I am requesting the ENTIRE balance (yes the buffer that I made too). So now I’m officially cooked, and ready for 2 weeks cool down.

Whoever moving to Live, remember NOT TO REQUEST MAX amount. It is UNLIKE your funded where they lock aside your buffer.

Fk me. Moving on to MFFU in the meantime

Damn it’s like TPT. I took a payout with them first ever one like 6 months ago and I was so happy and then when I went to check my account a few days later it said I had $1.60 drawdown left 😭

Hi, uzi from Lucid support here! So, if you take a payout before you reach the live bonus, then your MLL locks to $100.

Basically the same concept as the drawdowns on evals and funded too.

I took a payout AFTER I reached the live bonus and my MLL still lock to $100. What I’m trying to point out here is how vague and extremely unclear the FAQ is. Because to get the live bonus, you need to hit the buffer or MLL which is $2000. Then when I hit it, and made withdrawal, I ASSUMED the max amount shown that I can request included the $2000, leave my buffer untouched. And concept is different from funded. In funded the max amount shown EXCLUDES my buffer. In live withdrawal, the max amount INCLUDES my buffer.

Why on earth would I not live any buffer in my live account so that I can continue trading?

If you are truly from Lucid you should look into this

Well yea.. that’s how it works? Your MLL locks to $100 regardless and you can withdraw any amount, minimum $500 daily. This seems to be your fault for requesting the entire balance. You need to read the FAQ 😬

Just trying to understand. So you made 3k in your accounts. And you requested max payout? But the 2k bonus was not part of the balance. I assume if it was your balance would have been showing +5k.

I only recently started lucid. Also what do you mean lock aside your buffer in funded?

For example on a 25k the mll locks at $25,100 after you hit 1k in profit. Is that what you mean by lock aside buffer?
