Lucid Trading

Recommended

Why we recommend it: The most granular, well-documented rule set we researched — real flexibility in DLL and drawdown-basis choices across four account types.

50% consistency rule during evaluation only (same 2-day-pass cushion as Flex); no consistency rule once funded. Evaluation drawdown type is a purchase-time choice (Intraday for a lower price, End-of-day for more flexibility); funded accounts always use intraday drawdown regardless. Daily payout requests once funded. Trading US high-impact ("red folder") news is a hard breach on funded accounts -- must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after the event.

Firm notes

Futures-only prop firm, founded early 2025. Four currently-purchasable account types: LucidPro (evaluation), LucidFlex (evaluation), LucidDirect (instant funded, no evaluation), LucidDaily (evaluation, launched July 2026, daily payout requests once funded). Two additional programs exist but are NOT modeled as purchasable plans here: - LucidMaxx: invite-only, cannot be purchased at any price. Lucid extends invitations to traders with a strong payout track record (community reporting suggests roughly 15+ payouts over 4-6 months). Live capital, daily uncapped payouts, no DLL, up to 5 accounts, 90/10 split. - LucidBlack: discontinued February 2026, no longer sold to new traders (Lucid's help center keeps its rule pages as a legacy reference under "LucidBlack (Legacy)"). Formerly used EOD drawdown, 40% consistency on all funded payouts, 90/10 split. All four current account types: one-time fee, no monthly rebilling, no activation fee to upgrade evaluation to funded. All use CME futures products (ES, NQ, YM, CL, GC, and others). Legacy note: accounts purchased or reset before 2025-11-28 3:00pm ET are grandfathered onto 100% profit split on their first $10,000 in LucidPro payouts (new purchases get flat 90/10 from the first payout). Founding year is genuinely ambiguous — most/most-recent sources say "early 2025", a minority say 2024. Used the more commonly cited 2025; not independently confirmed on the firm's own site (403-blocked to automated fetch).
