Overview
Lucid Trading is a futures prop firm operated by Lucid Trading Group LLC, a Delaware company, whose site copyright runs from 2024. It sells one-time-fee accounts from 25K to 150K: three evaluations (LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDaily) and LucidDirect, which is funded straight away. Most plans can be customised at checkout, for example removing the daily loss limit for a higher price or paying for a looser consistency rule, and none charges an activation fee. Funded accounts are simulated and pay a 90/10 split, and traders are reviewed for a live account after their fifth payout or on strong results. Up to five funded accounts are allowed per household, on more than ten platforms through CQG or Rithmic.

Target ÷ loss is the total profit target divided by the max loss limit. Lower means less profit is needed for each unit of risk. Prices are list prices before discounts. Per $100K converts EUR and GBP at a fixed rate for ranking only.

Payouts: each cycle needs a profit goal of $250, $500, $750 or $1,000, a best day of no more than 40% of cycle profit, and a balance above a buffer equal to the loss limit plus $100. There is no fixed payout window.
Per-request caps are $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000 on the first payout and $1,500, $2,500, $3,000 or $3,500 after that; the minimum request is $500.
Prices are for the default configuration with the daily loss limit on, which also allows on-demand payouts during the session. Turning the daily loss limit off costs more and moves payouts to the end-of-day schedule.
The daily loss limit is a soft breach. On the funded account it becomes 60% of the highest end-of-day profit once the balance closes above the initial trail level.
The loss limit trails the closing balance and locks at the starting balance plus $100 once the account closes above $26,100, $52,100, $103,100 or $154,600.
The help center lists no daily loss limit on the 25K evaluation, while the pricing page shows a $600 limit in the default configuration.
The funded account article says there are no simulated payout caps, while the payout article sets per-request maximums; this file records the maximums.
Resets cost $75, $120, $190 and $255.

Payouts: after 5 days with at least $100, $150, $200 or $250 profit and positive net profit in the cycle. Each request can take 50% of profit up to $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000, with a $500 minimum and no buffer.
Up to 5 payouts can be taken from each funded account, after which the trader is reviewed for live trading.
Prices are for the default configuration with the daily loss limit on and 40% consistency. Removing the daily loss limit or adding the 50% consistency option raises the price.
With the daily loss limit on, payouts can be requested during the session from that session's profit.
The loss limit locks at the starting balance plus $100 once the balance closes above the trail level or the first payout is requested.
Funded accounts scale contract size with profit (see the scaling plan).
Resets cost $45, $80, $150 and $225.

Prices are for an intraday-drawdown evaluation with the daily loss limit on, the cheapest configuration. An end-of-day drawdown in the evaluation costs $86, $122, $200 or $286, and is the option the pricing page selects by default.
The funded account always uses an intraday trailing drawdown, whichever evaluation drawdown was chosen.
Payouts: daily, from profit above a buffer of the loss limit plus $100, with positive net profit since the last payout; the minimum request is $500 and there is no per-request cap.
Daily profit is capped at $6,000, $8,000, $10,000 or $12,000; reaching it moves the trader to a live account.
On the funded account, positions must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after high-impact USD news; trading through it breaches the account.
The evaluation article lists 50% consistency, while the pricing page and customisation article give 40% as standard with 50% as a paid add-on.
Resets cost $50, $65, $110 and $160 (intraday evaluation) or $60, $85, $140 and $200 (end-of-day evaluation).

Payouts: each cycle needs a profit goal ($1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 for the first; $1,250, $2,500, $3,500 or $4,500 after that) and a best day of no more than 20% of cycle profit.
Per-request caps are $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000 for payouts 1 to 3 and $1,000, $2,500, $3,000 or $3,500 for payouts 4 and 5; the minimum request is $500.
The 25K has no daily loss limit. On the larger sizes the fixed limit becomes 60% of the highest end-of-day profit once the balance closes above $52,100, $103,600 or $155,100, and payouts can be requested during the session.
The loss limit trails the closing balance and locks at the starting balance plus $100.
LucidDirect has no add-ons or resets; a breached account must be bought again.
