Futures Prop Firm OffersLucidDirect AUDIT Fixed-to-Scaled Daily Loss Limit Guide
Understand LucidDirect fixed daily loss limits, the LucidScale 60% formula and 30% AUDIT savings through verified rules and labeled examples.
LucidDirect starts most account sizes with a fixed daily loss limit, then replaces it with LucidScale after the account closes above its Initial Trail Balance. LucidScale equals 60% of the highest end-of-day account profit. The current onsite offer lists 30% off LucidDirect with code AUDIT; because a current official base price was not verifiable, all purchase-price numbers here are hypothetical examples.
Direct answer table
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which market? | Futures |
| Which plan? | LucidDirect |
| Current onsite code | AUDIT |
| Current onsite discount | 30% off LucidDirect |
| What triggers a fixed DLL restriction? | Reaching the listed daily loss limit |
| Is the DLL a hard account breach? | No; it is a soft restriction if the maximum loss limit has not been reached |
| When does LucidScale replace the fixed DLL? | After the account closes above the Initial Trail Balance |
| LucidScale formula | Highest end-of-day account profit × 60% |
DLL means daily loss limit. MLL means maximum loss limit. They are separate controls: reaching the DLL restricts new trades until the next session, while the MLL governs account survival.

Fixed daily loss limits and transition points
The official LucidDirect daily-loss policy lists the following values.
| Account size | Starting fixed DLL | Initial Trail Balance | Transition rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | None | None | No listed fixed-to-scale transition |
| $50,000 | $1,200 | $52,100 | Close above $52,100 |
| $100,000 | $2,100 | $103,600 | Close above $103,600 |
| $150,000 | $3,000 | $155,100 | Close above $155,100 |
A temporary intraday move above a threshold is not the stated trigger. The policy describes a close above the Initial Trail Balance.
The three daily-loss states
| State | Condition | DLL method | Operational result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting state | Account has not closed above the transition balance | Fixed amount for the listed sizes | Reaching it restricts trading until the next session |
| Transition close | End-of-day balance closes above Initial Trail Balance | Fixed DLL is replaced | LucidScale begins |
| Scaled state | New highest end-of-day profit is recorded | 60% of highest EOD profit | DLL can rise and does not later fall |
This progression matters because the risk number can change after account growth. A static spreadsheet should therefore include both the current state and the highest end-of-day profit.
LucidScale formula with worked examples
LucidScale DLL = highest end-of-day account profit × 0.60
| Highest end-of-day profit | 60% calculation | LucidScale DLL | If profit later falls |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $2,500 × 0.60 | $1,500 | Remains $1,500 |
| $4,000 | $4,000 × 0.60 | $2,400 | Remains $2,400 |
| $6,000 | $6,000 × 0.60 | $3,600 | Remains $3,600 |
| $10,000 | $10,000 × 0.60 | $6,000 | Remains $6,000 |
These are rule-calculation examples, not promised trading outcomes. The official help center says the scaled DLL increases as the account grows and does not decrease after a drawdown.
Build a transition tracker
Step 1: Record the opening parameters
Write down the account size, fixed DLL, maximum loss limit, current balance, and Initial Trail Balance. Do not substitute the DLL for the MLL.
Step 2: Update after each session close
Record the closing balance and calculate account profit from the starting balance. Only use closed end-of-day values for the transition and scaling tracker.
| Field | Entry | Formula or source |
|---|---|---|
| Account size | Enter size | Account dashboard |
| Session closing balance | Enter value | Account dashboard |
| Starting balance | Enter value | Plan |
| EOD account profit | Closing balance − starting balance | Calculation |
| Highest EOD profit | Maximum recorded EOD profit | Tracker |
| Current DLL method | Fixed or LucidScale | Official rule state |
| LucidScale amount | Highest EOD profit × 0.60 | Calculation |
Step 3: Mark the transition once
When the account first closes above its Initial Trail Balance, change the state from Fixed to LucidScale. Do not switch back merely because a later closing balance is lower.
Step 4: Use an internal stop below the rule limit
A trader may choose a smaller personal session-loss stop to leave room for commissions, slippage, or execution errors. This is a planning control, not a Lucid Trading rule.
| Example current DLL | Illustrative personal buffer | Illustrative internal stop | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,200 | $200 | $1,000 | Hypothetical planning example |
| $2,100 | $350 | $1,750 | Hypothetical planning example |
| $2,400 | $400 | $2,000 | Hypothetical planning example |
| $3,600 | $600 | $3,000 | Hypothetical planning example |
Apply AUDIT without mixing price and risk rules
- Select the LucidDirect futures account.
- Check the displayed subtotal and account size.
- Enter AUDIT.
- Confirm the subtotal falls by 30%.
- Verify the final price using subtotal × 0.70.
- Read the current DLL and MLL rules for the selected size.
- Pay only after both the discount and plan selection are clear.
| Review item | Coupon effect | Rule effect |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase subtotal | Reduced by 30% under the onsite listing | None |
| Fixed DLL | None | Size-specific starting restriction |
| Initial Trail Balance | None | Determines transition |
| LucidScale DLL | None | 60% of highest EOD profit |
| MLL | None | Separate account-loss boundary |
Common calculation errors
- Using intraday high profit instead of the highest end-of-day profit.
- Assuming LucidScale falls after a losing day.
- Treating a soft DLL restriction as identical to an MLL breach.
- Applying the 40% daily-payout headline to LucidDirect; the onsite listing assigns LucidDirect a 30% reduction.
- Presenting a hypothetical subtotal as a current plan price.
