A 50% consistency rule during the evaluation and none once funded. You choose intraday (cheaper) or end-of-day drawdown for the evaluation; funded accounts always use intraday. Daily payouts. Once funded, trading major US news is a hard breach: be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after.

Live account

Most accounts here stay simulated for the account's whole life: the firm pays you out of its own revenue, and no real money ever changes hands in your trades. Lucid Trading is different — it also runs a real, live-capital account that some traders graduate into.

How you qualify

LucidLive: discretionary -- reaching Payout 5 (max payout level) is explicitly "not a guaranteed minimum," plus large lifetime payouts, hitting LucidDaily's max daily profit, exceptional sim performance, or prior live history. LucidMaxx (invite-only): only traders the risk team directly emails can buy it; earned via demonstrated performance, not requested.

What changes once you're live

LucidLive: all eligible funded accounts (each needs >=1 payout) move together, each becomes its own live account at $0, EOD drawdown, no DLL, no consistency rule. Starting drawdown $1,000-$4,500 by size. A repeatable Live Bonus for hitting a profit target + 20 trading days. A new "Cashout" option: 50% of live starting balance in cash instead of going live (90/10 split), defaults to live if undecided within 24 hours. LucidMaxx Live uses a STATIC drawdown (not EOD) and starts with a real withdrawable-from-day-1 balance, not $0.

Worth knowing

Two real, separate live programs earned via the same sim-funded path. Breaching live = 2-week cooldown (longer if reckless).

“Real capital” and “live” are Lucid Trading's own description of this account, taken from its own site — not something we independently verify. Source
