Hedging Violation Rules
I got an email today from Lucid that my accounts have been flagged for a hedging violation.
Violation type: Self-Hedge Violation
Violation date: 5/8/2026
Products traded: MNQ,NQ
Sample hedge window: 01:12:47 – 01:21:02 CST
Total time hedged: 1,040 seconds
Number of hedging instances: 4
I reached out to their support before I started trading, to confirm if I can long MNQ and short NQ at the same time, and they said yes if it’s the same account.
I am confused as to why I would be flagged for hedging when I didn’t cross hedge across accounts. Is it because I am copy trading 4 accounts, and the system identifies it as a hedge? I just trade one account. Lucid has been of no help and wiped 2k of profits from my 4 funded accounts, without any reasonable explanation. It’s also shady because I’ve done this in my evals and didn’t get any notice. And the fact it’s on my 5th profitable day when I can request a payout.
