Plans & pricing

LucidPro

Standard 1-step eval. Soft DLL. 40% funded consistency.

• One-time fee — no monthly rebilling. No minimum trading days — pass on day 1 if profit target is hit.
• $25K eval has NO daily loss limit. $50K–$150K eval has a Fixed DLL (soft breach — halts trading for session only; does not fail account).
• No activation fee to upgrade from eval to funded — funded account activates within 5–30 minutes of hitting target. Full contract access from day 1 (no scaling plan).
• Funded DLL (LucidScale): starts as Fixed DLL matching eval values, then upgrades to LucidScale once balance exceeds buffer. LucidScale DLL = Highest EOD profit × 60%. Only moves up, never down.
• Funded consistency rule (checked at each payout request, not during live trading): Largest Single Day Profit ÷ Account Profit ≤ 40%. Resets after each approved payout.
• Buffer balance required before payout: $26,100 / $52,100 / $103,100 / $154,600 (by size). Cannot dip into buffer after requesting payout.
• Minimum profit goal per payout cycle (resets each payout): $250 / $500 / $750 / $1,000 (by size).
• Max payout per cycle — Payout 1: $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000. Payout 2+: $1,500 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,500. Minimum request: $500.

LucidFlex

No DLL anywhere. 50% eval consistency only. Simplest payouts.

• One-time fee. NO daily loss limit on evaluation OR funded accounts — zero DLL exposure at any stage.
• Evaluation consistency: 50% — best single day must be ≤ 50% of total eval profits. No stated minimum trading days; 50% rule means 2 days is the practical minimum to satisfy consistency.
• No consistency rule in funded accounts — trade any style once funded.
• Funded payout requirements (both must be met per cycle): (1) Earn profit on 5 separate days at minimum threshold: $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 (by size). (2) Positive net profit for the cycle (any amount > $0).
• Maximum 5 payouts per account, then moved to live. Payout max: 50% of profit up to $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 (by size). Minimum: $500.
• No buffer balance required for payouts — most flexible payout structure of all Lucid products.
• Funded accounts have a scaling plan (contract size grows with account balance).
• Profit split: 90/10 on all profits. No overnight holds on sim funded. Swing trading blocked.

LucidDirect

No eval — straight-to-funded sim. 20% consistency.

• No evaluation phase — start in funded sim immediately upon purchase. Higher cost reflects the eliminated eval phase.
• Strictest consistency rule of all Lucid products: 20% (top day ≤ 20% of total profits per cycle). Resets after each payout.
• $25K has NO daily loss limit. $50K–$150K has a Fixed DLL that upgrades to LucidScale DLL (Highest EOD profit × 60%) once balance exceeds buffer.
• Higher MLL vs LucidPro on 100K ($3,500 vs $3,000) and 150K ($5,000 vs $4,500) — reflects no eval filter.
• First payout profit goals: $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000 (by size). Subsequent goals drop: $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,500 / $4,500.
• Max payout — Payouts 1–3: $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000. Payouts 4–5: $1,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,500. Minimum: $500.
• Profit split: 90/10. No activation fee. No overnight holds on sim funded. Swing trading blocked.
