Lux Trading Firm
It sells one drawdown and publishes two, side by side, today. The menu offers New Trading Rules and Old Trading Rules and never says which one binds; only clause 9.4 of the contract does. Accounts activated before 22 September 2025 keep a 6% RELATIVE floor that climbs with the balance and a 75% split; everything sold since gets "All accounts use a 6% static drawdown" and 80%. That static floor is genuine and identical in the exam and after funding. What fails is everything around it: the About page says "We are regulated by TPA" above a footer saying "we are not required to be authorized by the regulatory authority", the shop promises it will "never trade against you" while clause 15.9 reserves the right to "act as the counterparty to your trades", and the rulebook that says "There are no fixed payout cycles" sits over a contract that still says "Calculations of results for stage 3 and up are done the first weekend of a month".
Read the old rulebook, because clause 9.4 keeps it binding for everyone who bought before September 2025 and it answers the one question the new page dropped: what a payout does to the floor. There, "the account balance and maximum high are reset to the initial balance" every time you are paid and the 6% is re-cut from the opening figure. The current rules say nothing about it at all. Prediction Markets is a third product with a third rulebook: a 4% loss limit measured on live equity with contracts still open, a profit target that counts only closed ones, and earnings above the payout cap "permanently removed from the balance during the payout processing". Two selling lines deserve naming because twelve saved pages carry nothing behind them: "We are the only prop firm to offer an audited track record" names no auditor, no report and no link, and "We offer a stable salary that ensures your monthly bills are covered" is the only time the word salary appears on the site, with no amount, no stage and no condition.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
Judged, clean of all seven hard bars, and the scorecard still came in under the bar. Nothing here is an accusation — it is a firm we would not open an account with, and the card says on which axes it fell short.
What they published
“All accounts use a 6% static drawdown , meaning your drawdown is fixed at 6% of the starting balance and does not move up as your account grows.”“themselves do not carry out any regulated activities, the only and exclusive activities they carry out are Prop Trading and Professional Training. Consequently, we are not required to be authorized by the regulatory authority.”“However, when we act as the counterparty to your trades, there is an inherent potential conflict of interest because your trades do not result in net gain or loss to us, as your trades would if we were not the direct counterparty.”“9.4 Accounts purchased and activated prior to 22 September 2025 shall remain governed by the version of the Trading Rules that was in effect at the time of their activation.

10Trails on daily closes only, then freezes at your starting balance
A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
A per-request cap well below the account size
The risk rule changes after you have paid
Short history, or a sharply polarised review profile
Each axis is scored 0–5 against a published scale. The line under each bar is the rung this firm landed on — not our summary of it, the scale entry itself.
Plan by plan
8 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →
Static 6% of the opening balance, given as a fixed level and declared for "All accounts" — exam and funded alike. The target rises with the size and the buffer does not: 10% on the $100K, 12% on the $400K, 15% on the $1M, against 6% throughout. No single position may realise more than 5% of the stage target, so the exam cannot be finished in fewer than twenty winning trades.
Not 80% of what you make: "you receive 80% of the profit-target", a fixed cheque of $9,600 on the $100K whether you stopped at 12% or ran to 40%. The shop card next door calls the same thing an 80% profit share. The fee is never refunded and the account never scales.
A 4% floor on live equity that can breach the account before the event resolves, while the profit target counts only closed positions — the two halves of the same account run on different clocks. Earnings above the cycle cap are "permanently removed from the balance during the payout processing", and trades can be voided "even days after the event has settled".
Not a dead product: clause 9.4 keeps it binding for accounts activated before 22 September 2025. "Drawdown limit = highest achieved balance - 6%", compared against equity as well as balance, with no published point where it stops climbing — and it changes type once funded, to a hybrid the firm defines only by what it does. 29 active days in the exam, 75% split, fee refunded in halves.
Listed so nobody thinks it went unexamined. Almost nothing on this page can be quoted: the prices, the sizes, the targets and the 75% share all sit in tables the extractor reads one cell per line, and no sentence of theirs ties any figure to any product. What is in prose is that the fee is never refunded — the old rules exclude "the Elite plan" from the refund by name — and that the assigned risk manager, advice everywhere else, starts here at the evaluation stage. The page also still sells sizes and a split no other product carries.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
4/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
2/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
4/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

Splitting entries (closing a trade, only to open a trade in the same asset and same direction), or moving stops to breakeven does not increase this limit.

What makes the account get bigger, how big it can get, and whether the path ends at a real market or at a larger simulation.
What makes the account growprofit—
“Every time the funded trader generates a trading profit equivalent to 10%, Lux Trading Firm will raise the account size (25k, 50k, 100k, 200k, 500k, 1 million, 2,5 million, and finally, to $10 million”Where the path endsat a real market—
“Once you have completed your evaluation account, Lux Trading Firm will fund the advanced account with the same amount as the evaluation account size. Once the advanced account stage has been completed (when you reach the 4% profit target), Lux Trading Firm will fund a live account (professional) with the same amount as your advanced account. 1 stage evaluation accounts go directly to a funded live account.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.

Where the path endsat a real market—
“All accounts after the evaluation are Fully Funded with real capital.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different.

The rules in writing
Could you read the rule before paying, and can they change it afterwards?
Where the rule that binds you is publishedin the document its own contract points at4/4
“All traders are required to comply with the Trading Rules as published and updated by Lux Trading Firm. The Trading Rules form an integral part of these Terms and Conditions and are binding upon all account holders.”If the rule that binds you lives in a help article your contract never mentions, you did not sign it.
Can it change the rules without noticeyes, and it says so0.60/3
“Lux Trading Firm may amend these Terms and Conditions and any applicable prices or fees at any time. All changes or additions have an immediate effect, without notification being required.”The clause that makes every dated verdict perishable, including ours. Near-universal, so not fatal.

“Lux Trading Firm Ltd, operating under the trading name Lux Trading Firm, is based in the UK.”Signing with a company other than the brand’s owner separates who sold to you from who answers to you.
The people behind it are namedThey do not say.0/2
we read the page that should answer this and it does not
Named people can be looked up. A company on its own cannot always be.
Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.
The market
Do your orders reach a market, or is all of it a simulation?
What the funded account isa real market from the start4/4
“All funded stage accounts at Lux Trading are executed on an A-Book model . This means every trade is passed directly to our liquidity providers, ensuring real market conditions, no dealing-desk intervention, and complete transparency.”The question that separates a firm that earns when you lose from one that earns when you last.
The broker or clearer namedFX Edge3/3
“We are able to provide the best prop-trading conditions on our live accounts, thanks to our direct partnership with a REAL Liquidity Provider, FX Edge!”Almost nobody names one, because almost no account reaches a market. It adds when present.
Conditions to reach a real marketpublished2/2
“At Lux Trading, every evaluation account follows a 1-Step Evaluation. You complete a single trading evaluation by reaching the profit target on a demo account while staying within risk limits. Once you pass, you receive a funded account and keep 80% of the profits you generate.”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
We read the rules of every plan it sells and issued a verdict on each one.
