Lucid Trading Review

Shared across every funded plan: a 90/10 split in the trader's favour, no time limit, dashboard objectives updating within 5–30 minutes of the last closed trade, and a maximum of 5 funded accounts per household in any combination.

LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect funded accounts use EOD drawdown.

LucidDaily funded accounts use Intraday drawdown, meaning unrealised P&L counts against the MLL in real time.

On LucidFlex, requesting a payout also snaps the MLL to the Locked balance immediately, even if the trail hasn't been reached.

LucidPro Funded

The Lucid Scale DLL. The fixed DLL applies only while the balance sits below the Initial Trail Balance. Once the account closes above it, the DLL is replaced by:

Highest end-of-day account profit × 60% = Lucid Scale DLL

It ratchets upward with new profit highs and never decreases, even if the account draws down. A $4,000 peak EOD profit produces a $2,400 DLL, held until a higher peak is set.

Other parameters: 40% consistency per payout cycle, no scaling plan (full size from day one), buffer equal to MLL + $100.

LucidFlex Funded

The most permissive funded ruleset Lucid publishes: no daily loss limit, no consistency rule, and no buffer balance.

Scaling plan — unlike Pro and Direct, LucidFlex funded accounts scale contract size with simulated profit, recalculated at the end of each session.

Because limits track profit in both directions, taking a payout can move you back down a tier. Deliberate attempts to circumvent the scaling plan are monitored and may result in the day's profit being wiped.

LucidDaily Funded

Maximum Daily Profit — a promotion trigger, not a cap:

Account — Maximum Daily Profit

$25K — $6,000

$50K — $8,000

$100K — $10,000

$150K — $12,000

Meet or exceed this figure in a single day and you are automatically moved to a live account. It is not a loss of profit or a breach — it accelerates the live transition.

News trading restriction — LucidDaily funded only. Trading U.S. high-impact "red folder" news is a hard breach on LucidDaily funded accounts. The restriction applies only where impact is High and currency is USD. You must be flat from one minute before to one minute after the event, and may not hold or open positions through that window.

LucidDirect Funded (straight to funded)

No evaluation. Simulated capital is live from purchase.

Same LucidScale DLL mechanic as LucidPro, switching over once the account closes above the Initial Trail Balance ($52,100 / $103,600 / $155,100). No scaling plan — maximum contract size is available immediately. Note the wider drawdowns on the $100K and $150K compared with every other plan.

Path to live

Traders enter the live review pool when any of the following applies: they receive their final payout (Payout 5) on a plan, they've been paid a significant amount lifetime, they show exceptional sim-funded performance, or they've been live before. Payout 5 is the ceiling, not a guarantee — every transition is at the risk team's discretion.

On transition, each funded account with at least one payout becomes its own live account. Live accounts start at $0 balance, with daily payouts, EOD drawdown, no daily loss limit and no consistency rule.

The Live Bonus is paid once, on a trader's first transition under the current program, and only if they've never held a Legacy Live account. It is subject to the 90/10 split and is not available to LucidMaxx traders.

Two consequences worth flagging prominently: all remaining simulated accounts are closed on transition (evaluations held in reserve are refunded only where the funded account had zero payouts), and while one household member is live, no one else in the household may trade simulated accounts. Blowing a live account carries a standard 2-week cooldown before a new evaluation can be purchased, longer for reckless behaviour.

Inactivity

Lucid's policy is unusually relaxed compared with most of the sector — there is no daily or weekly trading requirement.

Active status. An account must record at least one trade producing a net profit or loss of $1 or more within 30 calendar days. Accounts that don't are deemed abandoned and permanently deleted. Lucid frames this as system performance and data integrity housekeeping rather than a performance rule.
