Lucid Trading's plans state a maximum drawdown of 3% to 4% of the account size (drawdown type: end-of-day), across 16 plans. A consistency rule applies: 50% in the LucidFlex and LucidDaily evaluations, none once funded; 40% per payout cycle on LucidPro funded; 20% per payout cycle on LucidDirect; 40% in the LucidMaxx evaluation; none on live accounts. News trading is conditional: allowed on LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect; on LucidDaily, trading high-impact USD red folder news is a hard breach, and traders must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after.
