For a $1M challenge, here’s how the numbers shake out:
– Max loss per trade: 0.3% (about $3,000)
– Max profit per trade: 0.6% (around $7,500)
– Profit target: 15%On the math side:
If you somehow win every single trade with a 1:2.5 risk-reward setup, you’d need roughly 22 trades in a row to reach the target.
If you only win half of them at that same 1:2.5 ratio, it’s more like 82 trades in a row to earn the account. So yeah—most people won’t be anywhere near “always winning.”
Realistically, with this risk-to-reward, you’re probably winning well under 50%. Do the math…
Response to Lux’s reply:
They claim they’re an A-book company, but the funded challenge taking 2+ years to complete (maybe I’m being sarcastic, but maybe not) is listed on Match-Trader, and that doesn’t scream A-book to me. The slippage also feels pretty bad. Again, if someone wants to sit in a challenge for a long time just to “maybe” get an account, and wait on payouts, then sure—good luck. There are plenty of B-book prop firms that fund and pay much faster.Second response:
1. Yeah, I actually misread the rules at first. After I failed the challenge, I figured I should share what traders should expect. Since I messed up initially, I’ll add an extra star.
2. I never said funded accounts aren’t A-book. It’s just that the challenge phase had higher spreads/slippage than I’ve experienced with other prop firms.
3. I don’t mind strict profit/loss limits. Honestly, it protects the trader and the longevity of the account. A lot of the more popular prop firms use similar rules—Lux just seems stricter than most.
4. With ratings dropping, this might be the right time for the company to be clearer about the rules and maybe stop getting so defensive about Trustpilot replies. If you want people to trust you, transparency goes a long way. -

I was lucky to catch the promo for the 2x larger account sizes, and honestly, the value for the price is crazy. Getting double the account size at the same cost gives me a lot more space to handle my trades the way I want, without feeling boxed in. Plus, with the fixed drawdown, I’m not constantly panicking over every little move—makes a real difference in how I approach the market.
What I also appreciate is how clear everything feels: the rules are clean and straightforward, and the support team is responsive. Communication is transparent and the whole setup seems well-structured, not just “marketing talk”.

I found out the rules are way more strict than they make it seem. To get approved, you have to hit the profit target using around 20 different trades (or similar setups). It’s basically a 5% consistency requirement. In practice, that means you’re looking at at least a few weeks just to meet the trading conditions, assuming you’re already profitable most of the time—which, honestly, most traders aren’t consistently, not from day one.
So realistically, you’re probably talking a few months before you pass. I’ll give them credit for being clear *eventually*, but they didn’t list these pretty absurd requirements on the main page. You only find out after you’ve started and then realize the hard way that the challenge is much tougher than the initial info suggests. Good luck passing it, seriously.

Honestly, their trading rules feel like traps. I’ve been with them for some time, but the more I read and test, the clearer it becomes that they’re more interested in a trader failing than in helping them pass.
The problem is the rules themselves—there are just too many, and they’re quite tasking. And it really makes you wonder why a prop firm would limit a trader’s ability to profit. That’s supposed to be the point, right?
At first, they had a minimum requirement of 6 weeks trading. Then they removed that and replaced it with other conditions, which, in practice, still ends up stretching your trading days to around 6 weeks anyway—sometimes even longer depending on how the challenges play out.
Also, I’m not convinced they’re fully honest about the odds of getting a good payout. Their “high trading funding” sounds like a lure. If you go through their rules line by line, you’ll start noticing the gaps and how payouts can be made difficult.
Overall, I’d say they fall into the group of the rogues in the prop firm industry.

The customer support team here is excellent, no doubt. I’ll be honest—I didn’t read the rules as carefully as I probably should have at first, but the team stayed patient the whole time and walked me through what I’d done wrong. Also, the Risk Desk analysis is incredibly detailed; it’s gone beyond just answering questions and has genuinely helped me tighten up my risk management. In the span of about 2–3 weeks, I could already tell my process was getting better.

Switching to Lux was a great move. Unlike a lot of other firms that make you deal with those complex two-stage challenges, they use a 1-stage evaluation that’s honestly pretty straightforward. The whole process feels more realistic, and it doesn’t push you to rush your trades just to hit a tight deadline—something I really appreciated. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re a serious trader and want things to flow more naturally. Highly recommended.

The new Lux trading rules are pretty good. I haven’t passed my evaluation yet, but I’m hopeful I will. Honestly, the reset fees seem quite affordable, and I feel like I can make it through.
Customer Support has also been on time and responsive whenever I need help, which I really appreciate. I’m looking forward to passing my account and moving on to the next step.

I won a giveaway, and I have to say the experience has been pretty smooth. The support is very active—actually, I was surprised how quickly they responded. I received my new account with only a short delay, and it didn’t take long at all to get started. I just began using their service, but so far everything looks solid. Overall, it’s a very good company.

Bom dia. Tenho estado a operar com a Lux Trading Firm há alguns meses, mas ainda não fui aprovado para a próxima fase. Mesmo assim, tenho de dizer que a empresa é realmente excelente: aprendi a negociar de forma mais consistente, prestando atenção ao controlo de risco em cada operação.
Abri a minha conta a 3 de dezembro e, sinceramente, tenho-me saído muito bem até agora. O que mais me ajudou foi o conjunto de regras que eles impõem, porque acaba por nos proteger—afinal, um prejuízo não é, automaticamente, um erro, é parte do processo de aprendizagem.
Eu já perdi dinheiro noutras empresas proprietárias, cheias de limitações e mecanismos como trailing stops, que acabam por fazer a gente sair do trade rápido e, no fim, é o tipo de modelo que beneficia mais as contas novas do que o nosso desempenho. É como se a prioridade fosse mesmo que percamos e assim vendam mais planos. Aqui é diferente. A Lux Trading Firm parece querer que a gente evolua e consiga manter um bom nível para uma relação mais longa.
Quero agradecer também pelo apoio que recebi até agora.

I’ve just started trading with Lux Trading Firm, and honestly they feel different from about 99.8% of the prop firms out there today. What I like is that they come across as a genuine trading firm—someone who actually wants you to grow as a trader, and also learn how to manage risk properly, so that they can earn alongside you.
You trade with their capital, not some simulated demo account like many others. From what I’ve seen, prop firms that rely on demo-style trading often make most of their money from the account fees, while the profits you earn get pulled from that same pot. In those setups, they basically benefit if you don’t succeed, so the rules can be really strict and designed in a way that makes it easy to fail. A good example is “trailing drawdown,” which can be tough if you’re not careful.
Overall, I can recommend Lux Trading Firm.

I joined Lux Trading and managed to pass the first stage of their evaluation, but I ended up breaking a few rules. Because of that, my account was reset pretty significantly. To be honest, it actually helped me understand why their rules are so strict. Instead of letting people rush things, they force you to build discipline and really learn what trading is all about.
From the product side, the platform itself is pretty simple and not complicated to navigate. I found it easy to use from day one, and whenever I had questions, the support team was responsive and helpful. You won’t feel like you’re stuck alone.
Lux Trading isn’t a place for those who want shortcuts or instant profits. It’s more suitable for people who take trading seriously and want to survive and grow over time. In my view, this firm is one of the best options if you want to challenge yourself and become a more controlled, disciplined trader.

À mon avis, leur règle de « risk consistency » n’est pas compatible avec une gestion du risque correcte en trading.
C’est assez évident : un pilier de la gestion du risque, c’est d’adapter son exposition aux conditions du marché. Par exemple, les traders ajustent la taille des positions selon la volatilité. (Et oui, c’est quand même un peu fou de prendre exactement le même montant de risque quand le VIX est à 40 plutôt qu’à 20.) Pour une stratégie donnée, beaucoup commencent aussi avec une exposition plus faible — « dipping your toes in the water », comme le dit Mark Minervini (double vainqueur du US investing championship) — puis augmentent en cas de réussite, et réduisent quand ça marche moins.
Le problème, c’est que leur « risk consistency » oblige à choisir un niveau de risque au départ et à le garder jusqu’à la fin de l’évaluation, même si le marché bouge, si la stratégie nécessite autre chose, ou si la volatilité change. Donc impossible d’adapter son risque à la volatilité, ni d’utiliser une approche progressive. Si vous avancez prudemment « petit à petit », vous ne pourrez jamais vraiment entrer au bon moment quand le marché devient plus « chaud ». Et si vous plongez directement en eau glacée… le risque c’est la noyade.
Après 6 mois pour réunir les 3 000 $ requis afin de passer la phase 1 sur un compte de 50 000 $ (en réalité avec 50 000 $, vous n’avez que 5 000 $ à trader, donc la période est forcément plus longue), on m’a contacté par e-mail. J’ai demandé à accéder à l’étape suivante, et on m’a répondu que j’avais enfreint leur règle de « risk consistency », donc je ne pouvais pas continuer.
J’ai compris sur le coup que je n’avais pas assez fait attention à cette règle au moment de signer le formulaire, probablement parce que je ne m’attendais pas à un mécanisme aussi strict. Pendant tout le process, rien n’était signalé : pas d’alerte, pas de message indiquant que j’avais cassé cette règle. Résultat : j’ai perdu du temps dans ce programme.
J’ai une approche swing trading, avec un risque de 200 à 400 $ par trade (soit 0,4 % à 0,8 %), et j’ai utilisé une exposition progressive avec un risque total maximal ouvert de 600 $ (1,2 %). Évidemment, j’ai signé après avoir relu le document deux fois, donc oui, je suis aussi responsable d’avoir validé ça. Mais à partir de là, une étoile est surtout pour la présence de cette règle, et pour le fait de ne m’avoir donné aucune alerte claire avant que je sois stoppé.
J’espère que ça évitera à d’autres traders de faire le mauvais choix avec une prop firm.
PS après la réponse de Lux Trading Firm :
Bonjour Lux Trading Firm,
Vous pouvez partager avec plaisir les détails de mes trades, et même faire une vidéo. Je doute quand même que votre réponse soit vraiment juste quand je lis votre justification (puisque j’aurais soi-disant enfreint plusieurs règles).Par contre, vous pourriez aussi expliquer comment un trader peut gérer votre règle de blocage alors que la volatilité change fortement. Concrètement, la question est la suivante : avec votre logique, ils peuvent être forcés à risquer deux fois plus qu’ils ne le souhaitaient pour respecter votre règle de « risk % consistency ».
Il y a toutefois un point que je comprends : il faut bien protéger le capital réel. Et pour ce qui est de la note, une étoile correspond uniquement à mon expérience, qui est loin d’être bonne. Les lecteurs peuvent se faire leur avis par eux-mêmes : je ne pense pas que ce que je raconte soit complètement incohérent.
2e PS :
Une hausse de la volatilité arrive en parallèle avec plus de peur et d’incertitude, donc ce n’est pas juste des mouvements plus grands, c’est aussi des mouvements plus erratiques. Avoir des stops plus larges et réduire les lots ne suffit pas : les marchés volatils ne se comportent pas comme des marchés « tranquilles » juste à plus forte amplitude.La vraie façon d’adapter, c’est aussi de réduire l’exposition, donc diminuer le risque par trade en pourcentage — ce que votre règle de risk consistency empêche. Empêcher un trader de risquer 0,5 % en marché volatile, alors qu’il risque 1 % en marché calme, ce n’est pas vraiment compréhensible.
Mais bon, c’est seulement mon avis : comme au restaurant, je mettrais une étoile à un établissement qui me sert fish and chips si, moi, je trouve ça décevant. Je pense que beaucoup de gens se sentiraient comme moi, donc voilà pourquoi c’est une note basse.

Guys, please be aware of their “$1 million account” rules. You’re only allowed to risk 0.3% of the total $1M, not 6%. That comes out to about $3k. So if your drawdown ever goes above $3,000 at any point, you’ve failed the evaluation.
Honestly, how on earth can anyone reach a $150k profit target with a maximum drawdown of only $3k? And they won’t really explain it properly upfront. They tend to stay quiet until you’re close to the goal, then suddenly they say you didn’t pass.
In my view, they’ve worded this rule in a pretty misleading way on their website just to lure people in. Be careful before you commit.

Lux Trading has proven to be a significant disappointment, and I feel compelled to share my experience. From the outset, their rules appear to be uniquely structured, leading me to believe that they manipulate the conditions to drive traders towards failure.
I initially invested in a $1 million account, but soon discovered an unusual stipulation: risk management must be calculated based on 6% of the remaining capital. This raises a crucial question—how many successful trades would it take to reach a 10% profit target? For a swing trader like me, that could stretch into years.
Moreover, I was misled into believing that their $200,000 accounts did not enforce this rule during the first challenge phase. Enticed by this information, I switched my $1 million account for two $200,000 accounts, despite the considerable fees incurred by this change. After successfully hitting the profit target and passing the challenge phase, they then found yet another excuse: I had supposedly exceeded the acceptable risk amount per trade, claiming that my approach lacked consistency because of their 6% rule. Despite consistently risking 1-2% per trade—an industry standard—they dismissed my practices and sought additional justifications to deny my success.
In what seems like a mockery of my efforts, they labeled my substantial profits as merely “lucky trades,” failing to recognize the gains I achieved through following the trend. As a trend trader, capitalizing on big trends should be seen as smart trading, yet they labeled these accomplishments as breaches of an arbitrary rule about exceeding a 10% profit.
Ultimately, they did not honor my successful completion of the challenge phase and refused to refund 50% of the fees. I urge potential traders to steer clear of Lux Trading. My experience has resulted in a loss of £1,500, a costly lesson learned.
Lux Trading, just know that dishonest practices do not go unpunished. One day, justice will prevail.

They charge $1,260 for a $10 million account. According to their rule book and confirmed by their customer service representative, Rastislav, the maximum loss per trade is capped at 5% of the risk capital. So, for a $60,000 risk capital, that equates to a $3 risk per trade. On the flip side, the maximum profit per trade is also limited to 5% of the profit target, meaning that for a $150,000 profit target, you’re looking at a maximum of $7,500.
This effectively gives a profit factor of 2.5, even on a live account, which significantly restricts the potential for traders, particularly for those who prefer holding onto trends. I can see the rationale for the evaluation accounts, as they test traders, but it seems pretty unreasonable to limit profits on live accounts. I’m not claiming that a 2.5 risk-reward ratio is terrible, but there’s potential to trail stop-loss into profits when riding a trend, and this cap isn’t justified.
Rastislav didn’t provide a clear explanation regarding this rule; instead, he implied that the approach was non-negotiable, saying, “it’s not for you and me to set the risk-reward limits; they’re used by large financial institutions. If you can’t comply, that’s fine—we can’t accommodate every trader.” His tone came off as somewhat dismissive, which was frustrating. Truly, what kind of major banking institution operates this way? Typically, those big players are trend-followers aiming for higher risk-reward ratios.
This cap on maximum profits is puzzling and suggests some questionable practices—a risk of $3,000 for a potential $7,500 doesn’t seem right, especially when compared to accounts around $200,000 with about 1% risk. I hope they’re not misleading people with unrealistic dreams of becoming millionaires or facing financial issues. Maybe I’m mistaken, but their inability to clarify this rule has certainly shaken my trust. I’ve decided to look for another trading firm. Farewell.
Edit: Lux, you’ve responded below; therefore, I can’t reply directly. Please send me an email (you have my contact) and I’ll share the screenshots of my conversation with Rastislav, who confirmed that the profit cannot exceed 5% of the profit target on a $150,000 target for a $10 million account. This is also outlined in your rule book. I’m surprised you’re twisting your words to claim the limit is 10%. For those reading this, please review their rules—you’ll find that the maximum profit for a $10 million account is indeed capped at 5%.
Edit 2: Now you’ve corrected your response to 5%. Yes, that means $7,500 on a $10 million account, risking $3,000 results in a 2.5 risk-reward ratio, which is acceptable. But my primary question remains: why impose a limit on a live account when trailing stop-loss could allow traders to maximize profits without any risk?

I’ve been a loyal customer of Luxtrading for a few weeks now. Having tested several prop firms, I feel like I have a decent understanding of this market. One thing I can confidently say is that their chat service is consistently available, and they quickly address all my inquiries. Although I haven’t completed my challenge yet, so I can’t provide more details at this time, I definitely plan to share more insights in the near future.

They make it a point to prioritize their clients, which creates a positive environment for traders at all levels. It’s clear that they value transparency and support, making the overall trading journey enjoyable and educational. If you’re considering engaging with a trading firm, I highly recommend giving this one a serious look.

Lux offers solid services, but there’s a significant issue at play. The firm seems to be heavily focused on the U.S. market, which generates about 60% of their revenue. However, with increasing regulatory pressures restricting U.S. traders from accessing the market, Lux has been continually altering their platforms to cater to these clients. Unfortunately, this constant reshuffling is negatively impacting traders from other parts of the world, causing interruptions in trading and making it difficult for them to adapt to the frequent changes.

I reached out to their online support for clarification on some of their trading rules, and I have to say, the experience was quite disappointing. The representative I spoke with was notably rude and condescending, which was surprising given that I was simply a prospective customer seeking information before making a purchase.
Interestingly, I noticed their response below, and it seems to be penned by the same individual I interacted with during my inquiry.
The account of our conversation wasn’t entirely accurate; my aim was merely to find out whether they viewed averaging into a position as acceptable under their rules, or if it might be categorized as grid or martingale trading. As someone considering their services, I thought this was a reasonable question to ask before committing.

I recently purchased an evaluation account, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I received the account details—within minutes, in fact. Prior to this, I familiarized myself with the rules using a test account, which was quite helpful.
What I really appreciate is their proprietary platform, which is built on TradingView. In my view, it surpasses MT5, offering a superior trading experience.

I finally switched to Lux because they’re an A-Book prop firm. I was really fed up with other companies basically hoping I’d fail. The fact that I’m placed on a real money account makes a massive difference in how my trades get executed. And honestly, there’s no weird lag or nasty slippage when the market gets volatile—everything feels a lot more stable than what I had before.
