## What this firm publishes

Lucid Trading is a futures prop firm whose help centre describes a step-by-step path from evaluation to live trading, modelled on prop trading desks. It offers three evaluations, LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDaily, and LucidDirect, an instant funding account with no evaluation phase, each from $25,000 to $150,000; LucidMaxx is an invite-only evaluation that leads straight to a live account. Lucid Trading sells evaluations for a one-time fee with no monthly rebilling, no time limit and no activation fee, and all four plans pay a 90% profit split. Traders can use CQG platforms (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView) or Rithmic platforms including Quantower, Sierra Chart and ATAS.

The evaluation profit target is $3,000 on a $50,000 account, with a $2,000 maximum loss limit. LucidPro and LucidFlex use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance plus $100; the LucidDaily evaluation lets traders choose intraday or EOD drawdown, and its funded article lists intraday. LucidPro adds a daily loss limit from $50,000 up ($1,200 at that size), while on LucidFlex it is optional. The Lucid Trading consistency rule is 50% in the Flex and Daily evaluations, 40% per payout cycle on funded LucidPro, 20% on LucidDirect, and none on live accounts. News trading is allowed except on LucidDaily, where red folder news is a hard breach. Hedging across accounts, high-frequency trading and microscalping are prohibited, open positions are closed at 4:45 PM EST, and an account with no $1 of net profit or loss in 30 days is deleted.

Payouts can be requested any day once eligible, with a $500 minimum, and are disbursed within 2 business days through Plaid for U.S. traders, WorkMarket by ADP or crypto. LucidFlex needs 5 days at a minimum daily profit and caps each request at 50% of profit, up to $2,000 on $50,000, for up to 5 payouts before a trader is moved live. LucidPro and LucidDirect add profit goals and per-payout caps, while LucidDaily has no per-request cap but moves a trader live after a maximum daily profit. Live accounts start at a $0 balance with daily payouts and a one-time Live Bonus of up to $4,500. Traded accounts are not refundable, and the help centre articles read do not publish prices.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the Lucid Trading profit split?

Lucid Trading pays a 90% profit split on LucidFlex, LucidPro, LucidDirect and LucidDaily funded accounts, and LucidMaxx is 90/10 from the first payout. LucidPro accounts bought or reset before 11/28/2025 at 3:00 PM EST remain eligible for 100% on the first $10,000.

### What are the Lucid Trading drawdown rules?

LucidPro and LucidFlex use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that follows the highest closing balance and locks at the starting balance plus $100; the maximum loss limit is $1,000 on $25,000, $2,000 on $50,000, $3,000 on $100,000 and $4,500 on $150,000. The LucidDaily evaluation lets you choose intraday or end-of-day drawdown, LucidDirect's limit is $3,500 on $100,000 and $5,000 on $150,000, and live accounts use EOD drawdown with no daily loss limit.

### Does Lucid Trading have a consistency rule?

Yes, but it depends on the plan and phase. It is 50% in the LucidFlex and LucidDaily evaluations with no rule once funded, 40% per payout cycle on LucidPro funded accounts, 20% per payout cycle on LucidDirect, and none on live accounts.

### What are the Lucid Trading payout rules?

There is no fixed payout window: once eligible you can request a payout any day, with a $500 minimum, and it is disbursed within 2 business days. LucidFlex needs 5 days at a minimum daily profit and caps requests at 50% of profit up to $1,000 to $3,000; LucidPro needs a profit goal, 40% consistency and a balance above the buffer; LucidDaily pays out whatever profit is above the buffer. Payout methods are Plaid for U.S. traders, WorkMarket by ADP (bank transfer or PayPal) and crypto for international traders.

### Does Lucid Trading offer instant funding?

Yes. LucidDirect is a straight-to-funded account with no evaluation phase, from $25,000 to $150,000, with a 90% profit split and a 20% consistency rule. Its account overview says there are no simulated payout caps, but its payout article lists a maximum per request of $1,000 to $3,500 by account size.

### Does Lucid Trading charge an activation fee or monthly fee?

No. Lucid Trading evaluations are a one-time fee with no subscription or automatic rebilling, and there is no activation fee to upgrade to a funded account. Resets must be purchased, and commissions are charged per contract per side, for example 1.75 on ES and NQ and 0.50 on micros.

### Does Lucid Trading allow news trading?

On LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect, yes: traders may enter or exit positions around news without a breach. On LucidDaily, trading high-impact USD red folder news is a hard breach, and you must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after the release.

### Does Lucid Trading allow bots, trade copiers and hedging?

Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted as long as they follow Lucid Trading rules, but high-frequency trading and microscalping are prohibited. Hedging across accounts, users or firms is prohibited; within one account you may hold a mini against a micro of the same contract, or opposing positions in different contracts.

### How many accounts can you have at Lucid Trading?

Up to 5 funded accounts per household, across all plans combined, and no more than 10 accounts in total across evaluation and funded. A household may hold up to 10 evaluation accounts and up to 5 LucidLive accounts.

### Which countries are restricted at Lucid Trading?

Lucid Trading lists 81 restricted countries and regions, including Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, Vietnam and Kazakhstan, and citizens as well as residents are excluded. The United States is not on the list, and Plaid payouts are offered for U.S.-based traders.

### Does Lucid Trading refund the evaluation fee?

Not once an account has been traded: Lucid Trading's policy is a strict no-refund policy for traded accounts, regardless of results or technical issues. Refunds for never-traded accounts are at its discretion, and when a trader is moved live, the evaluation cost of a funded account with 0 payouts is refunded.

### How much does a Lucid Trading account cost?

The Lucid Trading help centre articles read do not publish prices. They state that evaluations are a one-time fee with no monthly rebilling, and that the LucidDaily evaluation is cheaper with intraday drawdown than with end-of-day drawdown.
