Lucid Trading allows automated trading systems and trade copiers, both the copiers built into trading platforms and third-party ones. Heron Copier connects to your Lucid accounts and repeats every entry, exit and bracket change from the master on each slave, in whole contracts.
Lucid accounts run on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and Rithmic. Heron Copier connects to Lucid accounts on Tradovate and on Rithmic, including the ones you trade in NinjaTrader, so you can copy within one platform or across them.
Lucid's rules for copied accounts
- Trade copiers are allowed, in-platform or third-party. You are responsible for anything the software does, including errors.
- No hedging, ever. Lucid bans opposite positions on the same contract in one account, across your accounts, across users and across firms.
- Up to 10 accounts. Lucid allows 10 active accounts per household, of which at most 5 can be funded.
- No high-frequency trading or microscalping. Lucid flags accounts that make more than half their profit from trades held 5 seconds or less.
These come from Lucid's help centre as of 19 October 2026. Lucid updates its programs often, so check the current rules for your account type.
Connect Lucid on Tradovate, NinjaTrader or Rithmic
For a Lucid account on Tradovate, sign in with your Tradovate login. No API add-on is needed. A Lucid account you trade in NinjaTrader connects through Tradovate or Rithmic, whichever it runs on. See the Tradovate trade copier and the NinjaTrader trade copier.
For a Lucid Rithmic login, add a Rithmic cloud account, choose the system your login belongs to and enter your username and password. See the Rithmic trade copier.
Mixed setups work too: Tradovate to Rithmic or Rithmic to Tradovate. Contract symbols are the same on both, so no mapping is needed.
Keep every Lucid account inside its plan
- Six volume sizing methods per slave, so a 25K and a 150K account follow the same master at different sizes.
- Per-symbol lot caps keep each slave within its contract limit.
- Balance and equity thresholds stop copying before an account reaches its drawdown.
- Block Trade Without SL skips trades the master opens without a stop loss.
- Leave reverse copying off on Lucid slaves, so every slave trades in the master's direction and never hedges it.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lucid Trading allow copy trading?
Yes. Lucid allows automated trading systems and trade copiers on its accounts, built into the platform or from a third party. Hedging across accounts is not allowed, and you are responsible for anything the copier does.
How many Lucid accounts can I copy to?
Lucid allows up to 10 active accounts per household, with at most 5 funded. In Heron Copier every master and slave uses one cloud account. A paid license includes 2, and extra cloud accounts are $8 a month each.
Can I copy my Lucid account to another prop firm?
Yes, if the other firm allows it. Heron Copier copies between Tradovate, Rithmic, TopstepX and CFD platforms. See prop firms that allow copy trading for each firm's rules.
Do I need NinjaTrader running?
No. Heron Copier connects to the account itself and runs in the cloud, so copying continues while your computer is off. You can still trade the master in NinjaTrader or Tradovate.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days with 2 cloud accounts. During the trial a futures slave copies every trade at a fixed 1 contract; a paid license unlocks the other sizing methods.
