Lucid Trading rules by program

LucidDirect (straight to funded)

Verified September 15, 2026 · source

LucidDirect (straight to funded): no profit target, a $1,200 to $3,000 daily loss limit that pauses trading for the day when hit, with no reset time on record, and a $1,000 to $5,000 end-of-day trailing maximum loss that stops trailing at +$100 of profit. The dollar limits depend on the account size.

Daily reset
The firm's own reset time is not recorded in the verified rules. Consistry tracks this futures program on the CME trading-day roll at 17:00 New York time.
Daily loss calculation
The limit is a dollar amount that depends on the account size ($1,200 to $3,000). Hitting it pauses trading for the day and the account survives.
Maximum loss
The maximum loss is $1,000 to $5,000, trailing: it follows the peak and it is recalculated once at the end of the trading day. It sits a fixed distance behind the peak. It stops trailing at +$100 of profit.
Minimum trading days
20% consistency rule, 5 minimum days before a payout, all positions flat by 4:45 PM ET, up to 5 funded accounts.
Consistency rule
Yes, a 20% best-day rule. 20% consistency rule, 5 minimum days before a payout, all positions flat by 4:45 PM ET, up to 5 funded accounts.
News trading
Allowed. Flex, Pro and Direct have no news restrictions (the trader carries the slippage risk). LucidDaily is the exception: its funded accounts must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after USD high-impact releases, opening or holding through is a hard breach. source

Program notes. Funded from day one, no profit target. The daily loss limit is a soft breach (trading stops for the session, the account survives) and the 25K has none. Once the balance closes above the initial trail balance the fixed limit becomes LucidScale, 60% of the highest end-of-day profit, which this tracker does not model; check it in Lucid's dashboard. 20% consistency rule, 5 minimum days before a payout, all positions flat by 4:45 PM ET, up to 5 funded accounts.

LucidPro Evaluation

Verified September 17, 2026 · source

LucidPro Evaluation: a $1,250 to $9,000 profit target, a $600 to $2,700 daily loss limit that pauses trading for the day when hit, with no reset time on record, and a $1,000 to $4,500 end-of-day trailing maximum loss that stops trailing at +$100 of profit. The dollar limits depend on the account size.

Daily reset
The firm's own reset time is not recorded in the verified rules. Consistry tracks this futures program on the CME trading-day roll at 17:00 New York time.
Daily loss calculation
The limit is a dollar amount that depends on the account size ($600 to $2,700). Hitting it pauses trading for the day and the account survives. The trader chooses at purchase whether the account has this limit.
Maximum loss
The maximum loss is $1,000 to $4,500, trailing: it follows the peak and it is recalculated once at the end of the trading day. It sits a fixed distance behind the peak. It stops trailing at +$100 of profit.
Minimum trading days
Not recorded in the verified rules.
Consistency rule
Yes, a 40% best-day rule. The 40% best-day rule (35% on accounts bought or reset before 28 Nov 2025) applies once funded and gates payouts, not the evaluation.
News trading
Allowed. Flex, Pro and Direct have no news restrictions (the trader carries the slippage risk). LucidDaily is the exception: its funded accounts must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after USD high-impact releases, opening or holding through is a hard breach. source

Program notes. The daily loss limit is chosen at purchase. With it on the account has the limit shown (the 25K $600, the pricing card's figure; the help centre's evaluation table says none, so we show the stricter) and it is a soft breach: trading stops for the session, the account survives. With it off there is no daily limit and the account costs $15 / $20 / $35 / $45 more. An account you added without a daily limit is treated as that configuration. Once funded and above the initial trail balance it becomes LucidScale, 60% of the highest end-of-day profit, which this tracker does not model. The 40% best-day rule (35% on accounts bought or reset before 28 Nov 2025) applies once funded and gates payouts, not the evaluation. All positions flat by 4:45 PM ET.
