Lux Trading Firm Review 2026: The Millionaire Maker?
Lux Trading Firm is one of the few firms that can legally say "We manage a Fund". They are backed by a real asset management arm in London (Kensington). Their goal is not to sell you a $100 challenge. Their goal is to find 10 traders to manage $2.5 Million each.
The Model: Slow Scaling
Lux is not about "Instant Funding".
- Stage 1: Demo evaluation.
- Stage 2: Small live account (e.g., $5,000).
- Stage 3+: Every time you hit 10% profit, they Double your money.
- End Game: If you pass 9 stages, you manage $2.5 Million.
Real Capital vs Demo
Most firms keep you on Demo forever (B-Book). Lux moves you to Real Capital (A-Book) effectively immediately after the evaluation.
- Evidence: They send you trade execution reports showing your orders hitting the Liquidity Provider (LP).
The Rules
- Drawdown: Relative (4% or 5%). This is tighter than FTMO.
- Stop Loss: Mandatory on every trade.
- Style: Swing trading preferred. HFT/Scalping is discouraged.
- Asset Classes: Forex, Indices, and Bonds.
| Feature | Lux Trading Firm | [**FTMO**](/reviews/ftmo) |
|---|---|---|
| Max Capital | $2.5 Million (Single) | $400k (Single) |
| Execution | Live Market (A-Book) | Simulated |
| Cost | Expensive (£300+ start) | Standard |
| Speed | Slow Career | Monthly Income |
Verdict
Lux Trading Firm is for the Patient Professional. If you want to manage 7 figures and you have a slow-and-steady strategy (5% per month), Lux is the only firm that will actually give you that much money. If you are a "Full Margin" gambler, you will fail Lux in 1 day.
Rating: 4.6/5 stars. The closest thing to a real Hedge Fund job.
