| Company | Lucid Trading, a United States futures prop firm launched in March 2025. Evaluations and funded accounts are simulated; a live account is offered at Lucid's discretion after a risk review |
|---|
| Account models | LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDaily evaluations, plus LucidDirect (straight to funded). LucidBlack is legacy; LucidMaxx is invite-only |
|---|
| Account sizes | $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000 on every plan |
|---|
| Billing | One-time fee; no monthly rebilling and no activation fee when you pass. Resets are paid |
|---|
| Profit split | 90% to the trader on every current funded plan |
|---|
| Profit target | $1,250 on $25,000 (5%); $3,000, $6,000 and $9,000 on the larger sizes (6%). LucidDirect has no evaluation but needs a 6% profit goal in its first payout cycle |
|---|
| Maximum loss | Pro, Flex and Daily: $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,500 by size. Direct: $1,000, $2,000, $3,500 and $5,000. End-of-day trailing on Pro, Flex and Direct; intraday trailing on funded Daily accounts |
|---|
| Daily loss limit | Chosen at checkout. Pro's fixed DLL is $600, $1,200, $1,800 or $2,700; Direct has none on $25,000 and $1,200, $2,100 or $3,000 above. Hitting it pauses trading until the next session; only the maximum loss is a hard breach |
|---|
| Time limit | None |
|---|
| Minimum trading days | Pro can be passed in one day; Flex and Daily need at least two because of their 50% evaluation consistency rule; Direct has no evaluation |
|---|
| Consistency rule | Evaluation: none on Pro, 50% on Flex and Daily. Funded: 40% on Pro, none on Flex and Daily, 20% on Direct |
|---|
| Payouts | No fixed window: request once the plan's objectives are met. $500 minimum. Daily allows a request every day above its buffer (maximum loss plus $100); Pro and Direct use cycle profit goals and caps. Paid by Plaid, WorkMarket by ADP or crypto, usually within minutes to two business days |
|---|
| Maximum allocation | Up to five funded accounts per household, $750,000 at the largest size |
|---|
| Contract limits | 2 minis or 20 micros on $25,000; 4/40 on $50,000; 6/60 on $100,000; 10/100 on $150,000 |
|---|
| Platforms | NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView through CQG; MotiveWave, Quantower, Sierra Chart, Jigsaw, Bookmap, ATAS, R|Trader Pro and MultiCharts through Rithmic |

| Trading costs | Commissions per side, for example $1.75 on ES, NQ, RTY and YM, $0.50 on the micros, $2.00 on CL and $2.30 on GC, plus any data fees |
|---|
| Overnight and weekend holding | Not allowed: accounts must be flat by 4:45 PM ET for the daily maintenance window and cannot hold over the weekend |
|---|
| News trading | Allowed on Pro, Flex and Direct. Funded LucidDaily accounts must be flat from one minute before to one minute after high-impact USD releases; a breach is a hard fail |
|---|
| EAs, bots and copy trading | Allowed within Lucid's ownership rules; the trader is responsible for the software. Hedging across accounts, HFT and holding more than half of profits from trades under five seconds are prohibited |
|---|
| Resets | Paid; a breached evaluation does not restart for free. Pro resets were listed at $90, $120, $180 and $245 by size |
|---|
| Refunds | Purchases, resets and add-ons are treated as non-refundable once used |
|---|
| Eligibility | Age, residency and KYC checks apply, with identity verification at payout; one verified household profile, and a restricted-country list |
