Earn2Trade vs Lucid Trading

Earn2Trade: TCP25 starts at $150/month. GAU50 starts at $170/month. Activation: No upfront activation fee -- traders pay a one-time account activation fee only at their first withdrawal, per the official affiliate program page. Lucid Trading: LucidPro $135/$185/$285/$370 on $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K. LucidFlex $100/$140/$225/$420. LucidDirect (straight-to-funded, no evaluation) $340/$520/$700/$840. LucidDaily has its own Intraday/EOD-priced fee tiers per the same pricing widget but exact dollars are checkout-needed this pass (raw JSON productPrices math for Daily could not be confidently reconciled against add-on/coupon stacking without a live cart walkthrough). Pro/Flex/Direct figures sourced from the homepage's live pricing widget config, not just help-article text. Activation: No activation fees to upgrade to funded account per LucidPro help page. Net cost depends on current sales and activation fees, so confirm the final total at checkout.

Earn2Trade: Evaluation and LiveSim use EOD drawdown; Live can use trailing drawdown. Open equity still matters intraday. Lucid Trading: $1K/$2K/$3K/$4.5K Max Loss Limit on LucidPro evaluation, and the identical $1K/$2K/$3K/$4.5K on LucidDaily evaluation (LucidDaily lets the trader pick Intraday-priced-lower or End-of-Day drawdown type at purchase). LucidDirect: End-of-Day Max Loss Limit $1K/$2K/$3.5K/$5K on $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K, which locks at Initial Trail Balance + $100 once each account's highest closing balance exceeds the trail.

Earn2Trade: TCP25 DLL $550; GAU50 DLL $1.1K. Lucid Trading: LucidPro DLL is none on 25K, then $1.2K/$1.8K/$2.7K on larger sizes. LucidDaily's own evaluation article lists no Daily Loss Limit column at all across any size (no default DLL stated). LucidDirect DLL: none on $25K, then a fixed $1.2K/$2.1K/$3K on $50K/$100K/$150K until the account closes above its Initial Trail Balance, after which the Fixed DLL is replaced by a LucidScale DLL equal to 60% of the highest end-of-day account profit (rises with growth, never decreases).

Earn2Trade: Tiered profit split, not flat 80/20: TCP25 pays 50% under $1,500 cumulative profit, 80% over; GAU50 pays 50% under $2,250, 80% over (same tiering scales with plan size on LiveSim and Live accounts). Earn2Trade publishes 2025 exam and withdrawal stats in product-page disclaimers. Lucid Trading: LucidFlex: 90/10 split, request any day after criteria, funds within 2 business days, $500 minimum, 50% of profit up to $1K/$2K/$2.5K/$3K, up to 5 payouts before live review. LucidDaily: also 90/10 split, no fixed payout window and no payout-count cap — instead, a payout requires profit above a buffer balance (Max Loss Limit + $100, i.e. $26.1K/$52.1K/$103.1K/$154.6K by size) plus positive net profit since the last payout, $500 minimum request; a separate maximum-daily-sim-profit cap ($6K/$8K/$10K/$12K by size) auto-promotes the account to live if met or exceeded on any single day. LucidDirect: also 90/10 split, $500 minimum request, a per-cycle profit goal ($1.5K/$3K/$6K/$9K on $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K for the first payout, lower on payouts 2+) plus the 20% consistency check, payout caps of $1K/$2K/$2.5K/$3K on payouts 1-3 rising to $1K/$2.5K/$3K/$3.5K on payouts 4-5, funds deducted within minutes of approval and disbursed within 2 business days.

Earn2Trade: Maintain 30% consistency rule during Evaluation (both TCP and Gauntlet Mini). Lucid Trading: LucidFlex payout page does not list a consistency rule; LucidPro payout path has separate consistency criteria. LucidDaily evaluation requires 50% consistency with, per Lucid's own copy, "cushion built in so you can pass in two days"; no consistency requirement applies once a LucidDaily account is funded. LucidDirect requires a 20% Consistency Percentage (largest single-day profit ÷ total account profit) to qualify for each payout; it resets after every approved payout and no longer applies once the account is promoted to live status.
