These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you ("you," "your") and Lucid Entities LLC, a California limited liability company ("Lucid Entities LLC," "we," "us," "our"), governing your use of Lucid Terminal — the desktop application, lucidterminal.io website, and related cloud services (collectively, the "Service"). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
You must be:
If you do not meet all of these, you may not use the Service.
Lucid Terminal is a desktop dashboard that reads your trade data from connected brokerage and prop firm accounts, displays analytics, journals trades to your Obsidian vault, and (on allowed firms) runs automated trading strategies. Lucid Terminal is a tool, not a financial advisor, broker, investment company, or signal service.
Read-only by default during beta. Lucid Terminal will not place orders on any account during the beta period. When order placement launches (Phase 4), you will be prompted to opt in explicitly before any automation can execute on your behalf.
Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Lucid Terminal does not recommend any specific security, strategy, or action. All analytics, indicator overlays, bot rankings, backtest results, and strategy outputs are informational tools to support your own independent decision-making.
Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial deposit. Leverage amplifies losses. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and outcomes.
You must register with a valid email address and a password of at least 12 characters. You are responsible for all activity on your account, including keeping your credentials secure. If you suspect unauthorized access, email support@lucidterminal.io immediately and reset your password.
You may have only one active account per person. Accounts are non-transferable.
(a) Your use of brokerage and prop firm accounts (TopstepX, Tradovate, Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, Apex Trader Funding, Bulenox, Tradeify, Lucid Trading, ProjectX, or any other firm) is governed solely by your separate agreement with that broker or firm. Lucid Terminal is not a party to that agreement. We do not guarantee compatibility, uptime, or compliance of any broker's API.
(a.1) No affiliation with listed firms. Lucid Terminal is a product of Lucid Entities LLC and operates as an independent third-party trading dashboard. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or operating in partnership with any of the brokers, prop firms, or platforms listed in this section, including but not limited to Lucid Trading (the prop firm) — the shared word "Lucid" in our names is coincidental and does not imply any business relationship. All firm names and logos are the property of their respective owners and are referenced solely to describe accounts the user may connect.
(b) Broker credentials (usernames, passwords, API keys) that you enter into Lucid Terminal are encrypted at rest on your local device via Windows DPAPI and are never transmitted to our servers. You are responsible for keeping your local machine secure.
(c) Firm rule compliance. You will comply with your broker's and prop firm's rules at all times, including position-size limits, daily-loss limits, news-trading windows, consistency rules, and automation policies.
(d) Past backtest performance is hypothetical and not indicative of future live-trading results. Backtests cannot simulate slippage, liquidity, order queue position, or broker-side execution nuances perfectly.
(a) Bot features are opt-in. Before running any bot or automated strategy, you must accept the Bot Features Consent in the Service (version-stamped, logged). You can revoke this consent at any time.
(b) Prop-firm automation-rules acknowledgment. Certain prop firms — including but not limited to Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, and MyFundedFutures — explicitly prohibit automated, algorithmic, or bot-driven trading on their evaluation and funded accounts in their own account rules between you and the firm. Lucid Terminal does not enforce those rules — the Service will let you run bots on any connected account if you enable them. The first time you connect an account from one of these firms the Service shows you an in-app acknowledgment modal summarizing the firm's rules and the consequences of violating them, and records your acceptance. You agree that:
(c) Liability disclaimer for prop-firm enforcement actions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lucid Entities LLC is not responsible for:
You have sole responsibility for ensuring your use of the Service is compliant with each prop firm's current rules, which the firms may change at any time without notice. Your acceptance of this Section 6 is a condition of using the bot / automation features of the Service.
Free-tier users contribute anonymized, aggregated trade metadata to the Lucid data pool as a condition of receiving the free Service. This is disclosed transparently in the Privacy Policy. The contribution covers: trade fills, symbols, sizes, P&L, session attribution, and indicator readings. It does not cover: broker passwords, Obsidian vault contents, or personal identity beyond your Lucid user_id (which is anonymized to an HMAC-SHA256 hash after 90 days per CCPA §1798.140(m)).
Paid-tier users (Pro, Elite, Lab, Lifetime) can opt out of the data pool at any time in Settings. The opt-out stops future contribution. Trades contributed before opt-out remain in the aggregated corpus as valid consideration at the time given. This structure is permitted under CCPA §1798.125(a)(2) as a financial incentive for free service, not discrimination.
When you link a brokerage or trading account to the Service (including futures accounts and stock/options brokerages connected through our data providers), the Service reads and stores account metadata, balances, positions, orders, entries and exits from those accounts on an ongoing basis, subject to the same data-pool rules above (free tier contributes always; paid tiers may opt out in Settings). This connected-account data is used to (a) operate the features you see — portfolio views, analytics, trade logs, alerts — and (b) in anonymized, aggregated form, to power Lucid’s own market research, analytics products, strategy development, and proprietary automated trading. In plain terms: aggregate flows across Lucid accounts help train and inform the strategies Lucid builds and operates for itself and its users. Individual account data is never sold to third parties, never published in identifiable form, and never used to trade against any specific user. Read-only credentials are held by our regulated data providers (e.g. SnapTrade, Stripe); Lucid never stores your brokerage passwords.
Current pricing is listed at lucidterminal.io/pricing. Paid tiers are billed monthly or annually via Stripe. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
Grandfathering. If we raise prices in a future pricing stage, existing subscribers keep their current rate via Stripe Price ID lock-in. Lifetime buyers are grandfathered into all future Lab-tier features for life.
Refunds. All sales are final 30 days after payment. Before 30 days, email support@lucidterminal.io for a no-questions-asked refund. Lifetime refunds after 30 days are considered case-by-case.
You will not:
Lucid Terminal, lucidterminal.io, and all related code, UI, branding, and documentation are the property of Lucid Entities LLC and are protected by US and international copyright law. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal trading activities in accordance with these Terms. You do not own any part of the Service itself.
Your trade data is yours. Your journal notes, custom bot definitions (Lab tier), and any content you create remain your property. Contribution to the data pool is a license for us to use anonymized, aggregated forms of that data to operate the Service — not a transfer of ownership.
The Service includes a feature that lets you upload custom technical-indicator code (Pine Script, Python, JavaScript, or other formats) to be stored on Lucid’s infrastructure and (after owner review and sandbox testing) executed on your trade data and optionally contributed to the anonymized data pool.
You warrant at upload time that:
You retain ownership of your uploaded code. By uploading, you grant Lucid a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, sandbox-execute, display the code's metadata (name, language, description) to other users if you choose the “public” visibility setting, and aggregate the code's numeric outputs into the anonymized data pool. You can delete your uploads at any time, which revokes this license going forward (anonymized aggregate readings produced before deletion remain valid consideration in the data pool, same structure as Section 7).
Indemnification for IP claims. If a third party brings a copyright, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual-property claim against Lucid arising from code YOU uploaded, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Lucid harmless from any resulting damages, settlements, or attorneys' fees. This is in addition to the general indemnification in Section 12.
Lucid Terminal complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). If you believe that user-uploaded content on Lucid Terminal infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing all six elements required by §512(c)(3):
Designated DMCA agent:
Lucid Entities LLC — DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@lucidterminal.io
Postal address available on request from support@lucidterminal.io
Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will (a) take down the disputed indicator within 48 hours, (b) notify the uploader, and (c) preserve the notice + the takedown record per §512 safe-harbor requirements. The uploader may file a counter-notice per §512(g); if a valid counter is received, the original complainant has 10–14 business days to file suit before we may restore the indicator.
Repeat-infringer policy. Lucid maintains a 3-strikes policy. Three valid DMCA notices against the same uploader (across one or more uploads) result in permanent termination of the uploader's account, forfeiture of any current subscription period (no refund), and a ban on creating new accounts.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." Lucid Entities LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and uninterrupted availability.
You acknowledge and agree that Lucid Entities LLC, its members, officers, contractors, and affiliates are NOT financially or legally responsible for any of the following, regardless of cause, including but not limited to losses caused by:
The user accepts full and sole responsibility for every dollar of profit and loss on every account connected to the Service. You are an adult who has chosen to trade leveraged futures, options, or other derivative instruments with the knowledge that you may lose all of your principal and additional funds beyond your initial deposit. The Service is a tool. You are the trader. The financial outcome is yours.
The bots, indicators, AI agents, strategies, and any analytical output generated by the Service are provided for informational and operational convenience only. They are not financial advice. They are not a substitute for your own due diligence. They carry no warranty of profitability, accuracy, or fitness for any trading purpose. You alone are the decision-maker. You alone bear the consequences of any trade placed under your authority — manually or by any automation you have authorized, configured, subscribed to, or copied from another user.
This liability waiver is enforceable under California law per Civil Code §1668 for losses arising from ordinary negligence in the operation of an at-arm’s-length commercial software service. It does not purport to waive liability for fraud, willful injury, or violations of statute. To the extent a court finds any portion of this waiver unenforceable, the remainder remains in full force.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Lucid Entities LLC's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of:
LUCID LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages; lost profits, trading losses, missed trading opportunities, or evaluation/funded account failures; acts of brokers, prop firms, data providers, or payment processors; force majeure events including internet outages, power loss, or acts of government.
This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if Lucid Entities LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The exclusions and limitations in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 are essential elements of the bargain between you and Lucid Entities LLC. Without these provisions, Lucid would not be able to offer the Service at its current price or at all. By using the Service, you accept these terms as a condition of access.
The Service allows you to upload custom indicator code (Pine Script, Python, JavaScript, or other formats) to use in your own trading workflow and, if you choose, share with the Lucid Terminal community. By uploading any indicator, script, bot, or other code (collectively, "User Content"), you represent and warrant that:
11.3(b) License grant. By uploading User Content, you grant Lucid Entities LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to (i) host the code on our infrastructure, (ii) execute it in our sandboxed runtime to compute indicator readings on your trade data and (if you mark public) other users' trade data, (iii) include anonymized aggregate readings produced by the indicator in the Lucid Second Brain data pool, (iv) display the indicator's name, description, and metadata to other users (if marked public), and (v) make backups for operational purposes. You retain ownership. This license terminates when you delete the indicator (subject to the backup-retention period in our Privacy Policy).
11.3(c) Lucid's right to remove. Lucid reserves the right to remove, disable, or refuse to execute any User Content at our sole discretion, including but not limited to: code that fails security review, triggers a DMCA takedown (Section 11.4), violates these Terms, crashes our infrastructure, or generates excessive resource consumption. We are not obligated to host any specific upload.
11.3(d) No warranty on User Content from others. Indicators uploaded by other Lucid users are provided "as is." Lucid does not endorse, vet for accuracy, or guarantee the trading results of any User Content created by anyone other than Lucid itself. If you subscribe to or use a public indicator from another user, you alone bear the risk of its outputs and any trades you place based on them.
Lucid Entities LLC complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and provides a process for copyright holders to request removal of allegedly-infringing User Content.
11.4(a) DMCA notice. If you believe content uploaded to Lucid Terminal infringes your copyright, send a written notice to dmca@lucidterminal.io with the information required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3): a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly-infringing material with enough specificity to locate it; your contact information; a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized; and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
On receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly-infringing material and notify the uploader. The uploader may submit a counter-notice as provided by §512(g).
11.4(b) Repeat-infringer policy. Lucid maintains a policy of terminating accounts of users subject to repeated DMCA takedowns. Three valid DMCA strikes within any 12-month period will result in account termination and a permanent ban from re-registering with the same email or payment instrument.
11.4(c) Designated agent. Lucid Entities LLC's designated DMCA agent for receiving notices is: Lucid Entities LLC, c/o DMCA Agent · California, USA · dmca@lucidterminal.io. Misrepresenting that material is infringing may make you liable for damages under §512(f).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lucid Entities LLC, its members, officers, contractors, and affiliates from any claim, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of:
(a) By you. You may stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account and personal data, use the in-app deletion request (Settings → Privacy → Request data deletion) or email privacy@lucidterminal.io.
(b) By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or another user's rights. We may terminate inactive free-tier accounts (no login for 365+ days) at our discretion.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Data pool, Intellectual property, Disclaimers, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, Governing law, Dispute resolution) survive termination.
We may update these Terms periodically. Material changes (new prohibited uses, changes to liability limits, new dispute resolution rules) will trigger an in-app banner and an email with at least 30 days' notice. Non-material changes (typo fixes, clarifications) take effect immediately.
Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you don't accept a change, stop using the Service before the effective date.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco County, California, or via video conference at the arbitrator's discretion. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action waiver. You and Lucid Entities LLC agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only. You waive the right to participate in any class, collective, or representative action.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in San Francisco County for disputes within the small-claims court's jurisdiction. Either party may seek injunctive relief for misappropriation of intellectual property.
