LUCIDMNQ F.A.Q 
Introduction to LUCIDMNQ
The ideal subscriber is someone who is trading with funds they are not reliant on, and understand the volatility inherent in trading nasdaq futures.  Electronic markets have evolved with the easy access to a multitude of ways to participate in the market i.e. 0 DTE options.  Futures markets can seem illogical or just plain strange at times.  If you have funds you are not scared to lose, and are ok with being up 5% in a day, down 3% the next, down another 2% back to 0, and then up 10% then you will do fine.  If you are ok to check your account a few times a month and look past short term fluctuations to see the Pnl chart going slowly from the bottom left to the upper right then you will be a good candidate to put your capital to work in a futures trading strategy.  Some subscribers may be frustrated if the system doesn't trade for several days at a time even when the market is moving, or if the returns are low(0.5%, 1%)  I would say that futures are leveraged instruments, and it could be likely that low returns, or low activity can go on for a while, but on any given trading day the  system could also be 5-10% up so things can happen slowly, and then all at once.  *

LucidMNQ is a computer driven strategy actively monitored by the strategy manager. Every trade has a hard stop of 150 points or $320 per contract. If trading more than one contract than max risk is # of contracts x 150 points.

LUCIDMNQ is a combination of algorithms that trigger independently and each based on different trading conditions met in the market.  On any given trading day one, all, or none of the algorithms may trigger.  Orders are computer generated and ALL orders are entered as Bracket orders with hard stop loss. The max trades on a given trading day currently is up to 4 of the micro-NQ contracts.  The system does not average down EVER.  The additional trades are when a trade is moving in the right direction, system will add additional leverage in the direction of the trade.   *
Required
To effectively trade this system with the understanding that LUCIDMNQ is not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice is to have 10k liquidity per contract.  In C2 you can limit the number of contracts.  With that being said, if max contracts on any trade is 4 micro-NQ then $40k would be ideal to trade comfortably.  If you wish to scale above 100% then add an additional $40k per 100% scaling.   *

LUCIDMNQ does not share backtest results, or proprietary data about the strategy. The metrics published on the C2 page are extensive and those metrics along with the track record are all the information I can provide at this time.  Please email with additional questions.  *

I can't say exactly how often the system trades, this depends on the reading of the current trend, and its strength.  *

Trades can sometimes be very fast moving, and reverse direction quickly so I don't recommend attempting to trade this manually.   *
The max risk per trade is 150 points or $320 per lot per trade.  However, this is if 1 contract is being traded, if the position adds the max allocation of 4 then max risk would be 150 x 4 lots or $1,200. This does not mean that every trade will either hit target profit or hit max loss. There are parameters that close trades long before this max loss is reached, and dynamic stop losses that move stop to breakeven or trail the position, but this is the max risk.  If max risk is $1,200, then if you are scaling 100% and trading the recommended $40k then your max risk is 3% of capital per trade.  It would require 33 trades of trades reaching max risk for your the capital to be wiped out, so its important to keep in perspective the meaning of 1 or 2 losing trades to the overall account.    *

Why are my fills different than the strategy? 

Fills will be different as per C2 trades are subject to CME Rule 575.  Hence, trades will be staggered by a few minutes so market orders to not flood the exchange.  In response to this, the strategy seeks to trade at times with increased liquidity, and take trades that are not opened and closed in a short period of time.  
This list will be continually updated as questions are asked.  Personal opinions are that this is a systematic strategy that has tested to have an advantage over time.  Typically investors/subscribers who trade futures with capital that they are afraid to lose will have a difficult time following any futures strategy.  Systematic futures trading means looking at performance 'over time' and not with the lens of any one trade.  If you are a subscriber that is terrified of losing money, or is trading with capital that you really need for personal needs then futures trading is likely not the right choice for you.  I have found that if you join on day 12 of a month to check the strategy at day 12 of the next month and if you have gained relative to the volatility in the strategy then it is likely a good strategy to continue to follow. If you are a subscriber that allows automated trading, but are constantly removing the autotrade and adding it again, or attempting to intervene in the trades you will likely hurt your returns, and impact the functioning of this strategy.  Futures trading requires mental toughness, patience, and systematic thinking so if you are overly sensitive to market fluctuations then this strategy is likely not for you.   *

If you have a large account and are new to LUCIDMNQ I recommend not scaling up for the first month or two.  Still stay at 100%.  Especially if you are not accustomed to futures trading.  Whether you are trading with $10,000 or $500,000 its best to first start trading at 100% to feel the system out and adjust to the volatility.  After a month or so then consider setting your scale.  A method I like to use when trading futures strategies is always start with the minimum amount or scale, once the system has achieved a certain amount of gains, say 20-30% with acceptable volatility and drawdowns then I can consider adding leverage.   *

Trading within a position can occur at times to improve average price.  So I dont recommend setting a max number of contracts.  There is a max contract limit that will be held at any one time, but at some times trading around price can take place.  An example would be long 2 lots at 12000, sell 1 at 12050, price drops to 11995, buy 2 lots, now I am long 3 contracts at x price.  If max contracts is 4 then I am still only long 3, but on C2 it would show long 4. This is why its important to trade 100% but do not limit the number of contracts.  *
Required
I do trade on economic event days like FOMC, CPI.  I view these days as any other trading day.  I haven't seen any evidence that avoiding these days is beneficial to the pnl.  There is ample liquidity on these days so worst case is that I am stopped out.  As a trader these days provide volatility and large moves that can at times set trend for the next days, weeks.  Hence, if I dont trade them I can risk chasing the trend much later on.  *
