Who is this for?
Rules are built around day trading: end-of-day drawdown, positions flat by 4:45 PM ET.
You can choose between programs with or without a daily loss limit and with different consistency rules.
Many platforms are supported, including NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Quantower and Sierra Chart.
Several programs with different rules can be confusing; read the rules of one program carefully before you pay.
Positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET, so overnight and weekend holding is not possible.

Trade and request payouts
In the funded stage you request payouts once you meet the rules of your program. The split is 90/10.
Payout & profit split
- Profit split
- 90/10 voor alle funded accounts (100% op de eerste $10.000 geldt alleen nog voor accounts gekocht of gereset vóór 28 november 2025).
- Payout frequency
- Op aanvraag, zonder vast betaalvenster (nadat je aan de voorwaarden voldoet)
- Speed
- Aanvraag meestal binnen minuten goedgekeurd; uitbetaling binnen 2 werkdagen
- Methods
- Plaid (bank, VS) · WorkMarket (bank of PayPal) · Crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, USDC)
- First payout
- LucidFlex: 5 winstdagen met minimaal $100-$250 winst per dag (afhankelijk van grootte). LucidPro: minimaal winstdoel per cyclus ($250-$1.000), consistentie 40% en winst boven het bufferbedrag.
All funded account payouts are split 90% trader / 10% Lucid. Accounts purchased or reset before 28 Nov 2025 3:00 PM EST still get 100% on the first $10,000. LucidFlex has no payout buffer; LucidPro and LucidDaily require profit above a buffer (initial max loss limit + $100).
Payout policies
Funded accounts pay 90% to the trader and 10% to Lucid. There is no fixed payout window: you can request a payout once you meet the rules of your program, and the request cannot be edited or cancelled afterwards. LucidFlex needs 5 profitable days (minimum $100-$250 per day depending on size) and positive net profit in the cycle, with no buffer. LucidPro needs the minimum profit goal ($250-$1,000), a 40% consistency percentage and profit above a buffer (initial max loss limit + $100). LucidDirect needs a profit goal and 20% consistency. The minimum request is $500 and maximums depend on account size. Approved payouts are usually paid within 2 business days via Plaid, WorkMarket (bank or PayPal) or crypto.
Scaling plan
Account sizes run from $25K to $150K. LucidFlex funded accounts use a scaling plan that limits the contracts you can trade based on your simulated profit (for example 4 minis on a $150K account at $0-$999 profit, rising to 10 minis at $4,500+). LucidPro and LucidDirect have no scaling plan: the full contract limit is available immediately. You can hold up to 5 funded accounts at the same time (up to $750,000 in total). Traders with strong results may be moved to live accounts at Lucid's discretion.

End-of-day (EOD) trailing Max Loss Limit: het stijgt met je slotsaldo tot de limiet vastligt op startsaldo + $100. Daglimiet (DLL) is bij LucidPro en LucidFlex optioneel en kies je bij aankoop; een DLL is een zachte limiet (handelen stopt tot de volgende dag). Consistentie: LucidPro funded 40% (35% voor accounts gekocht of gereset vóór 28-11-2025), LucidFlex funded geen, LucidDirect 20%, LucidDaily 40% in de evaluatie.
Risk details
All programs use an end-of-day trailing Max Loss Limit: the limit rises with your highest closing balance until it locks at the starting balance plus $100. If your balance reaches it, the account is breached. Examples: $1,000 on $25K, $2,000 on $50K, $3,000 on $100K, $4,500 on $150K. A daily loss limit is optional on LucidPro and LucidFlex and is a soft limit (trading pauses until the next session). LucidDirect has a fixed daily loss limit on most sizes. After a payout the Max Loss Limit can move closer to your balance, so a payout reduces your buffer. Hedging and microscalping (more than 50% of profit from trades held 5 seconds or less) are prohibited. Most traders lose money on evaluations; only trade with money you can afford to lose.
