Payout policies

Lucid Trading stands out with its daily payout option, providing funded traders with rapid access to their earnings. The 90/10 profit split means traders keep 90% of all profits generated, which is among the most competitive in the industry. Daily payouts eliminate the waiting period common with other prop firms, allowing traders to access their earnings almost immediately after profitable trading sessions. The payout process is designed to be straightforward and transparent, with clear documentation of all transactions. This daily payout structure is particularly attractive for active traders who value cash flow flexibility and quick access to their trading profits.

Scaling plan

Lucid Trading offers account sizes ranging from $25K to $150K, with the opportunity to scale through consistent performance. The trailing drawdown system with a $3,000 limit provides room for growth while maintaining risk discipline. With multiple evaluation program options available, traders can choose the pathway that best fits their trading style. The 90/10 profit split provides excellent earning potential from the start. Scaling opportunities are based on demonstrated trading proficiency and consistent profitability. The daily payout feature means successful traders can compound their personal capital while building their funded trading career.

Risk details

Lucid Trading implements a trailing drawdown system with a maximum of $3,000 that varies based on the specific plan chosen. The daily drawdown limits also vary by program, requiring traders to understand their specific accounts parameters. The trailing nature means your drawdown limit adjusts based on your account high watermark, which requires careful position sizing and risk awareness. Understanding whether your plan uses intraday or end-of-day trailing is essential for proper trade management. The combination of maximum and daily drawdown limits creates a dual-layer risk management framework. Proper stop-loss usage and position sizing are critical for maintaining account health.

Platform & features

Lucid Trading offers two professional trading platforms: Rithmic and Tradovate. Rithmic is a professional-grade platform favored by institutional traders for its reliability, speed, and direct market access. It offers advanced order types, real-time data feeds, and minimal latency execution. Tradovate provides a modern cloud-based alternative with an intuitive interface and competitive pricing. Both platforms support futures trading across major exchanges with professional-grade data and execution. Traders can choose based on their experience level and technical preferences. Rithmic appeals to experienced traders seeking maximum control, while Tradovate offers accessibility for those preferring a streamlined experience.
