Major Update: Lucid Trading Restructures Live & Pro Accounts
Lucid Trading just released a massive update addressing community feedback. They've overhauled their Live Program to an industry-standard EOD model, merged Pro and Black, and introduced the exclusive new LucidMaxx tier.
"The last time we made a major update all hell broke loose. We killed and revived Pro. Our live program became one of the worst in the industry. Someone accused us of shooting their dog... So we're here again to make up for our past transgressions." - Lucid Trading
The Live Program Overhaul
The biggest and most consistent feedback Lucid received was about their Live Program: onboarding took too long, the cooldown window was excessive, and the escrow system was too complicated. To fix this, Lucid is moving to an industry standard.
Lucid is transitioning to a $0 starting balance with an End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown structure.
Remastered Live Program
- Faster onboarding
- Simplified bonus system
- Quicker return to sim
- Reach LucidMaxxer status
New Live Bonus System
We’ve simplified and improved how live bonuses work.
| Sim Program | Live Target | Live Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 25k Funded Account | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 50k Funded Account | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| 100k Funded Account | $3,000 | $3,000 |
| 150k Funded Account | $4,500 | $4,500 |
If a trader moves live with 5x 150k accounts and makes $4,500 in each:
- They earned $4,500 profit
- They receive $4,500 bonus
- Each account now sits at $9,000
That’s $45,000 total live capital across five accounts.
Additionally, to support faster cycling between Live and SIM, all accounts automatically move Live at payout 5 (previously 6).
Introducing LucidMaxx
Traders have been asking for a daily payout plan without intraday drawdown. Lucid is taking a unique approach. Instead of offering this to everyone immediately, they are monitoring their most consistent traders.
Traders who consistently hit maximum payouts ("PayoutMaxxing") will be eligible to purchase the LucidMaxx Evaluation. Pass this evaluation, and you go straight to a live account featuring:
- Daily payouts with no payout caps
- Up to 5 accounts
- EOD Drawdown
- No Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
- Instant live capital
RIP LucidBlack, Meet the New LucidPro
Lucid realized that dividing Pro and Black wasn't working. The community demanded a one-day-pass evaluation. Therefore, LucidBlack is being sunsetted (resets end after March 6), and its best features are being merged into an upgraded LucidPro.
Meet the new LucidPro
- Same one day pass
- New payouts every 3 days
- Higher payout caps
- LucidBlack resets are sunsetted
The Pro plan is getting an improvement so there is a modest price increase to accommodate for that:
| Program | Old 30% Off | New 30% Off |
|---|---|---|
| LucidPro Eval 25k | $84.00 | $94.50 |
| LucidPro Eval 50k | $112.00 | $129.50 |
| LucidPro Eval 100k | $192.50 | $199.50 |
| LucidPro Eval 150k | $259.00 | $259.00 |
| Program | Old Base | New Base |
|---|---|---|
| LucidPro Resets 25k | $75.00 | $90.00 |
| LucidPro Resets 50k | $100.00 | $120.00 |
| LucidPro Resets 100k | $170.00 | $180.00 |
| LucidPro Resets 150k | $225.00 | $245.00 |
Black resets will continue through 3/6 and before being permanently sunset.
Flex & Direct Account Updates
LucidFlex: No rule changes are happening right now. However, Lucid is monitoring strategies that specifically exploit the Flex structure. A Flex price increase may be implemented next month based on the data collected.
LucidDirect: To improve sustainability and demand, the 8 minimum trading day requirement has been removed, a new 100k Direct account has been added, and the 150k account has seen a Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) reduction along with slight price increases on the 50k and 150k accounts.
