Lucid Trading at a glance
Think twice if
You need the highest payout cap on 150K accounts or dislike live-review discretion after sim payouts.
| Rule | Lucid Trading |
|---|---|
| Drawdown | $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. |
| Daily loss limit | 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). |
| Payout | 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. |
| Evaluation pricing | 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).

Key terms
- EOD (end-of-day) drawdown
- Your maximum-loss line trails on your balance at the daily close, not your highest intraday equity. Open profit you give back during the day does not pull the line up against you.
- Daily loss limit (DLL)
- A cap on how much you can lose in a single trading day — some firms call it a Daily Loss Guard. A few make it optional during the evaluation.
- Consistency rule
- Caps how much of your total profit can come from a single best day, so one outlier session can't carry a pass or a payout.
- Activation fee
- A one-time fee to turn a passed evaluation into a funded account, charged on top of the evaluation price.
- Profit split
- The share of payouts you keep. A 90/10 split means you keep 90% and the firm keeps 10%.
- Buffer
- Profit you have to build (and usually keep above) before withdrawals unlock. Firm- and plan-specific.
