Payout policy
There is no fixed payout window at Lucid Trading. A payout can be requested on any day once the criteria for that account family are met. Once approved, the funds leave the account within a few minutes and reach the trader's payment method within two business days. Requests are final once submitted and cannot be edited or cancelled.
What each family requires
- LucidFlex: the minimum daily profit earned on five separate days in the payout cycle, plus positive net profit for the cycle. No buffer balance is held. Up to five payouts per account, after which the trader is moved live.
- LucidPro: a minimum profit goal for the cycle, a largest day of no more than 40% of cycle profit, and a balance above the buffer, which is the initial max loss limit plus $100.
- LucidDirect: the cycle profit goal and a largest day of no more than 20% of cycle profit.
- LucidDaily: profit above the buffer balance and positive net profit since the last payout. Requests may be made daily.
- LucidMaxx: daily requests with no payout caps and no profit minimums once live.
The minimum request is $500 across all families. Maximums are set per account size and payout number, except on LucidDaily, which caps the simulated profit that can be earned in a single day instead and moves the trader live once that amount is reached.
What can void a request. Trading after submitting but before approval can invalidate a request: if the balance drops below the required amount or into the buffer, it may be denied. Traders should treat the requested amount as already removed from the balance. Any breach of the trading rules, terms or account agreement also disqualifies a payout.
How payouts are sent. Plaid provides instant bank transfers for United States traders. WorkMarket by ADP serves both United States and international traders by bank transfer or PayPal, typically arriving as early as the next business day. International traders may also take payment in BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT or USDC. Traders registered as a business must be paid as a business and complete document verification first.

Trading costs
A commission is charged on every market; the per-lot figures are below.
- Indices
- FX
- Energy
- Metals
- Other Commodities
Commissions are charged per side and are set by contract rather than by account family or account size, so the same rate applies whichever plan the account came from.
- Equity index futures. $1.75 per side on ES, NQ, RTY, NKD and YM. The micro contracts MES, MNQ, M2K and MYM are $0.50 per side.
- Currency futures. $2.40 per side on 6A, 6B, 6C, 6E, 6J, 6S and 6N.
- Energy. $2.00 per side on CL, QM and NG, $1.30 on QG, and $0.50 on the micro contract MCL.
- Metals. $2.30 per side on GC, SI, HG and PL, $1.60 on micro silver SIL, and $0.80 on micro gold MGC.
- Agriculture and livestock. $2.80 per side on HE, LE, ZS, ZC, ZL, ZM and ZW.
Only contracts on this approved list are tradable, across the CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX exchanges. Micro contracts carry materially lower commission than their full-size equivalents, which is what makes them the cheaper way to build the trading days a payout cycle requires.
What Lucid Trading lets you do
Across all 20 plans, as recorded programme by programme.
- News tradingAllowed on 12 of 16 plans
- Copy tradingAllowed on every plan
- Expert advisors (EAs)Allowed on every plan
- Weekend holdingNot allowed on any plan
- Overnight holdingNot allowed on any plan
Lucid Trading runs CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX futures only, and applies one set of trading conduct rules across its account families.
- News trading. Permitted on LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect, with the trader carrying the risk of slippage and velocity logic during volatile releases. On LucidDaily funded accounts it is a hard breach: when a scheduled event is both high impact and USD, the account must be flat from one minute before to one minute after the release.
- Session hours. On LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDirect all positions must be closed by 4:45 PM EST Monday to Friday, and anything still open is closed automatically. Holding past the cutoff does not fail the account. Trading resumes at 6:00 PM EST Sunday to Thursday. On market holidays with an early close, positions must be flat before that close.
- Automation. Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted, and the trader is responsible for any software error or unintended outcome.
- Scaling in. Scaling into positions and dollar cost averaging are allowed with no limit on entry method, though adding continuously to losing positions is discouraged.
- Scalping. Genuine short-term trading is welcome. Microscalping is not: an account is flagged when more than half its profit comes from trades held five seconds or less, and confirmed bad-faith activity forfeits those profits.
- High frequency trading. Prohibited. A first offence draws a written warning; repeated offences remove the profits and close the accounts.
- Hedging. Prohibited in every form, including across a trader's own accounts, between different users, and across other firms. Opposing positions in correlated contracts held in separate accounts count, so a long ES against a short NQ in another account is a breach. Long and short the same contract in minis against micros is allowed only inside a single account.
- Flipping. Allowed. Quick in-and-out trades taken to satisfy a minimum trading day requirement are not restricted.
Consistency rules
Lucid Trading measures consistency as largest single day profit divided by account profit. The threshold and the stage it applies to differ by account family.
- LucidFlex: 50% or less, required during the evaluation to upgrade to a funded account. There is no consistency percentage on LucidFlex funded accounts.
- LucidDaily: 50% or less during the evaluation. There is no consistency percentage on LucidDaily funded accounts.
- LucidPro: 40% or less, required on the funded account to request a payout, and reset after every approved payout. Accounts purchased or reset on or before 28 November 2025 at 3:00 PM EST remain on the earlier 35% figure.
- LucidDirect: 20% or less on the funded account, reset after every approved payout.
- LucidMaxx: 40% or less during the evaluation.
The LucidFlex and LucidDaily evaluations carry a small cushion above the stated 50%, calculated from the profit actually earned on the trader's largest day rather than a fixed dollar amount, so an evaluation can still be passed in two days.
Consistency stops applying once a trader is promoted to live account status, whichever family the account came from.
Firm rules
Outside the drawdown maths, these are the conditions that govern a Lucid Trading account.
- What breaches an account. Reaching the Max Loss Limit is a hard breach. Reaching a Daily Loss Limit is a soft breach: trading is locked until the next session, and the account survives provided the Max Loss Limit has not also been reached.
- Account limits. Up to 10 active evaluation accounts per household, up to 5 active funded accounts, and up to 5 active live accounts. Evaluation and funded accounts share a combined cap of 10, so five funded accounts leaves room for five evaluations, which may be held in reserve and traded.
- Resets. Fees are one-time with no subscription and no automatic rebilling, so a failed evaluation must be restarted by buying a reset from the dashboard. Resets are neither automatic nor free, and return the account to its original balance and risk parameters.
- Inactivity. An account that has not been traded to at least $1 of net profit or loss in 30 calendar days is treated as abandoned and permanently deleted.
- Breached accounts. A breached evaluation can still be reset, but is deleted automatically after 30 days if it is not. Traders may also remove breached accounts manually from the dashboard.
- Contract limits. Position size is capped per account size, from 2 minis or 20 micros on a $25,000 account up to 10 minis or 100 micros on a $150,000 account. LucidFlex funded accounts add a scaling plan that ties the tradable size to simulated profit and updates at the end of each session; LucidPro and LucidDirect give full size immediately.
- Integrity. Exploiting system errors or update delays, trading against discrepancies in simulated prices, and any tactic that does not reflect real-world execution are prohibited.
- Registration. A trader may hold only one profile, personal or business, and it cannot be converted or replaced afterwards.
