The Upside
What we love
Speed of Payouts
- Lucid Trading is renowned for processing payouts in minutes (often <15 mins), setting a new industry standard.
End-of-Day Drawdown
- Accounts typically use an End-of-Day trailing drawdown, allowing traders to hold trades through intraday volatility without being stopped out prematurely.
Flexible Account Options
- Offers 'LucidPro' (Standard), 'LucidFlex' (No Daily Loss Limit/No Consistency and No Buffer), and 'LucidDirect' (Instant Funding) to suit different styles.
No Activation Fees
- Standard evaluations (Pro) and Direct accounts have no activation fees upon funding.
1-Day Pass
- No minimum trading days required to pass the Pro evaluation.F or the Flex plan, you must follow the 50% consistency rule to pass the evaluation.
The Downside
Room for improvement
Consistency Rules (Pro/Direct)
- The LucidPro (40%) and LucidDirect (20%) accounts have strict consistency rules that can limit payout eligibility for windfall traders (though LucidFlex removes this).
Daily Loss Limits
- Standard LucidPro accounts have a Daily Loss Limit, which some traders find restrictive compared to 'no DLL' models (though Flex solves this).
