90/10 on all funded accounts (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily, LucidDirect). LucidPro accounts bought or reset before 2025-11-28 3:00 PM EST keep 100% of the first $10,000.
Drawdown type
Varies by plan
Payout cadence
No fixed payout window on any plan. LucidPro: any day once goal, 40% consistency and buffer are met. LucidFlex: every 5 profitable days. LucidDaily: daily. LucidDirect: on hitting the cycle profit goal with 20% consistency.
Lucid Trading is a US futures prop firm run by Lucid Trading Group LLC, a Delaware company. It sells three evaluations (LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDaily), which are paid tests on a simulated account, and LucidDirect, an instant funding plan with no evaluation. Every plan is a one-time purchase with no activation fee and a 90/10 split when funded, and all positions must be closed by 4:45 p.m. ET.
Plans at a glance
LucidPro: 25K to 150K evaluations, listed at $123, $192, $307 and $410; the homepage does not say whether these include the optional daily loss limit.
LucidFlex: 25K to 150K evaluations with a 50% consistency rule and a 2-day minimum. Prices not confirmed.
LucidDaily: launched in July 2026. You choose the daily loss limit and an end-of-day or intraday evaluation drawdown at checkout. Prices not confirmed.
LucidDirect: instant funding, 25K to 150K, with no resets. Prices not confirmed.
Lowest confirmed price: $123 (LucidPro 25K list price).
Key rules
Drawdown: the maximum loss limit trails your end-of-day balance on LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDirect. LucidDaily funded accounts always trail intraday. The floor locks at the starting balance plus $100 once a 50K LucidPro passes $52,100. See EOD vs intraday drawdown.
Daily loss limit: optional on LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDaily, chosen at purchase; the version with a limit costs less. Every daily limit is soft: trading pauses until the next session. See daily loss limit prop firm.
Consistency: LucidPro funded 40%; LucidFlex and LucidDaily evaluations 50%; LucidDirect 20% per payout. See prop firm consistency rule.
Weekend holding: not allowed; open positions are closed at 4:45 p.m. ET. See prop firm weekend holding.
News trading: allowed, except on LucidDaily funded accounts, which must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after high-impact USD news. See prop firm news trading rules.
Minimum days: 1 on LucidPro; 2 on LucidFlex and LucidDaily; no evaluation on LucidDirect.
Lucid’s pages disagree on the LucidPro 25K daily limit: none or $600. Full tables: Lucid Trading rules.
Payouts
All funded accounts split 90/10, and the minimum request is $500. No plan has a fixed payout window. LucidPro pays once you clear the buffer, a profit goal and the 40% rule; LucidFlex every 5 profitable days; LucidDaily daily; LucidDirect at each profit goal ($3,000 first on 50K). Lucid pays by Plaid (US), WorkMarket by ADP or crypto, under its own terms, and can change or pause payouts. Details: Lucid Trading payout rules.

A Lucid evaluation or LucidDirect account is a paid service with simulated trading. Most people who buy an evaluation do not pass, and firms change their rules and close. Not investment advice.
