## Overview

Lux Trading Firm is a UK company with an office in Dubai, selling large one-step evaluations on forex, indices, metals, energies, stocks and crypto. Funded stages are traded on an A-book model with a live liquidity provider. It suits disciplined traders who size every trade the same way and want room to scale, rather than anyone chasing a quick pass.

### How the evaluation works

- **1-Step Evaluation:** $100k for £199 with a 10% target, $400k for £449 with 12%, or $1M for £999 with 15%. Every size has a fixed 6% drawdown from the starting balance and no daily limit. The fee comes back in full once you pass.
- **INSTA:** $100k or $400k on a demo account with a 12% target and the same 6% floor. Hit the target cleanly and you're paid 80% of it once. The fee isn't refunded and the account doesn't scale.

Funded accounts scale up each time you make 10%, all the way to $10M.

### Rules worth knowing

The risk rules are where people come unstuck. Every trade needs a stop loss before you enter. You pick a fixed percentage of your remaining risk capital per trade, at most 5%, and keep it consistent through the stage. No single trade, or group of trades in the same idea, can bank more than 5% of the stage target. News trading is fine, but you can't move stops in the 30 seconds around a release, and bracketing news with pending orders is banned. Copy trading is allowed between your own evaluation accounts. There are no minimum or maximum trading days.

### Getting paid

Funded traders keep 80% and can withdraw whenever the account is in profit, with all positions closed. Withdrawn profit still counts toward the next scaling target.

## Good

- No daily loss limit and a fixed 6% floor
- No minimum or maximum trading days
- Withdraw any time the funded account is in profit
- Scaling plan up to a $10M allocation

## Watch for

- Stop loss required on every trade before entry
- Risk per trade must stay a consistent share of remaining risk capital
- A single trade can only bank 5% of the stage target
- Large starting fees, from £199

- Trustpilot: 3.8 / 5 from 635 reviews (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/luxtradingfirm.com)
- Forex Peace Army: 1.53 / 5 from 2 reviews (https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-reviews/19408/luxtradingfirm-prop-firm)

Lux Trading Firm gets a divided verdict. Trustpilot shows 3.8 from about 635 reviews, a mix of mostly five-star and a sizeable block of one-star reviews. Forex Peace Army has only two reviews, both negative, for a 1.5 score. Prop Firm Match does not list the firm. Forum threads on Reddit and Forex Factory lean critical, and a review aggregator notes that many recent five-star Trustpilot reviews mention contests and giveaways rather than payouts.

### What traders like

- **No daily loss limit.** Several Trustpilot reviewers say the static drawdown and lack of a daily limit suit their trading.
- **The long-term model.** Traders who want a slow career path with large scaling, an audited track record and real-money execution like the structure.
- **Support.** Some reviewers say live chat helped them understand rules they had misread, and that a free reset let them start again.
- **Withdrawals.** Review sites that sampled Trustpilot say payouts are reliable but come on a slower, monthly rhythm.

### Common complaints

- **Strict and unclear risk rules.** The most common complaint on Reddit, Forex Factory and Forex Peace Army: traders say accounts were closed or payouts refused for risk limits per trade or across open trades that they feel are not spelled out clearly.
- **Hard to reach a payout.** Several forum posters say they never saw anyone get paid, though others report payouts.
- **Low split and long evaluations.** Some reviewers point to the 75% split and a long minimum trading period.
- **Combative replies.** The firm's public answers to negative Trustpilot reviews are often sharp, which some readers see as a warning sign.

### Recently

- **August to September 2026:** many new five-star Trustpilot reviews come from traders who joined a Lux prediction market competition, and an August review aggregator rated overall sentiment three out of five, partly because of these giveaway-driven reviews.
