Flex Evaluation
●One-time fee, no monthly rebilling. No DLL during evaluation. Real-time activation within 5–30 minutes of hitting profit target. No activation fee to upgrade.
| Account | Profit Target | Max Loss Limit | Consistency | Max Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,250 | $1,000 | 50% | 2 mini / 20 micro |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | 50% | 4 mini / 40 micro |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | 50% | 6 mini / 60 micro |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | 50% | 10 mini / 100 micro |
✓The 50% consistency has a cushion built in, so technically you can pass in two days. But taking time to reach the target is the safer approach.
Consistency Cushion Values
| Account | Profit Target | 50% Consistency | Cushion (actual limit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,250 | $625 | $650 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $1,500 | $1,560 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $3,120 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $4,680 |
⚠The cushion is not a fixed dollar amount. It is a percentage of your actual profit earned and will vary per trader. The table above is based on hitting exactly the profit target.
Flex Funded Account
●No DLL, no consistency requirement in the funded phase. Scaling plan controls your contract size based on simulated profits. Updates at end of each session (not real-time intraday).
| Account | Max Loss Limit | DLL | Scaling Plan | Max Size |

Flex Drawdown & Consistency
EOD Drawdown — Max Loss Limit
| Account | MLL Amount | Initial Trail Balance | Locked MLL |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $26,100 | $25,100 |
| $50K | $2,000 | $52,100 | $50,100 |
| $100K | $3,000 | $103,100 | $100,100 |
| $150K | $4,500 | $154,600 | $150,100 |
✓MLL rises with EOD closing balance until account exceeds the Initial Trail Balance. Once exceeded, MLL locks at Starting Balance + $100 for the lifetime of the account. After a payout, MLL automatically adjusts to the Locked MLL Balance.
Consistency Rule (Evaluation Only)
Largest Single Day Profit ÷ Total Account Profit = Consistency %
Must be 50% or less to pass the evaluation. No consistency rule in the funded account.
●Example: $50K Flex eval. Largest day: $750. Total profit: $3,000. → $750 / $3,000 = 25% ✓ — passes the 50% requirement.
Pro Evaluation
●One-time fee, no monthly rebilling. Pass in one trading day. Real-time activation within 5–30 minutes of hitting target. No activation fee.
| Account | Profit Target | Max Loss Limit | Daily Loss Limit | Max Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,250 | $1,000 | None | 2 mini / 20 micro |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,200 | 4 mini / 40 micro |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $1,800 | 6 mini / 60 micro |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $2,700 | 10 mini / 100 micro |
ℹNo consistency rule during the evaluation. No minimum trading days required — you may pass in one day.

Pro Drawdown & DLL
EOD Drawdown — Max Loss Limit
| Account | MLL Amount | Initial Trail Balance | Locked MLL |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $26,100 | $25,100 |

| $150K | $4,500 | $154,600 | $150,100 |
LucidScale DLL (Funded — after Initial Trail Balance)
Highest EOD Account Profit × 60% = LucidScale DLL
Only activates once account closes above the Initial Trail Balance. Never decreases.
●Example: Highest EOD profit = $4,000 → DLL = $4,000 × 0.60 = $2,400. This DLL increases as profits grow, but never decreases even if the account draws down.
Consistency (Funded — 40%)
Largest Single Day Profit ÷ Account Profit = Consistency %
Must be 40% or less to request a payout. Resets after each approved payout.
⚠Accounts purchased/reset on or before 11/28/2025 still have the old 35% consistency. Accounts after that date use 40%.
Direct Funded — No Evaluation
ℹLucidDirect skips the evaluation entirely. You start building simulated capital and earning payouts immediately upon purchase. Same EOD drawdown and LucidScale DLL as Pro.
| Account | Max Loss Limit | Fixed DLL | Scaling DLL | Max Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | None | None | 2 mini / 20 micro |
| $50K | $2,000 | $1,200 | 60% of Peak EOD | 4 mini / 40 micro |
| $100K | $3,500 | $2,100 | 60% of Peak EOD | 6 mini / 60 micro |

1.20% Consistency — largest single-day profit must be ≤ 20% of total payout cycle profit. Stricter than Pro and Flex.
2.Payout Profit Goal must be reached. Higher for first payout, lower for subsequent payouts.

Direct Drawdown & DLL
EOD Drawdown — Max Loss Limit

|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,000 | $26,100 | $25,100 |
| $50K | $2,000 | $52,100 | $50,100 |
| $150K | $6,000 | $156,100 | $150,100 |
✓MLL rises with EOD closing balance until the Initial Trail Balance is exceeded. After that, MLL locks permanently at Starting Balance + $100.
Daily Loss Limit
| Account | Fixed DLL | Initial Trail Balance |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | None | None |
| $50K | $1,200 | $52,100 |

LucidScale DLL (after Initial Trail Balance)
Highest EOD Account Profit × 60% = LucidScale DLL
Replaces Fixed DLL once account closes above the Initial Trail Balance. Never decreases.
Consistency (20%) — Formula
Largest Single Day Profit ÷ Account Profit = Consistency %
Must be 20% or less to request a payout. Resets after each payout.
ℹExample: $50K Direct. Largest day: $500. Total profit: $3,000. → $500 / $3,000 = 16.7% ✓ — passes the 20% requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Flex, Pro, and Direct?+
Flex and Pro both require passing an evaluation before receiving a funded account. Direct skips the evaluation entirely — you start building capital immediately. Flex has no DLL and a simpler consistency rule. Pro has a scaling DLL and unlimited payouts. Direct has the strictest consistency (20%) but the fastest path to funded.
Is the Lucid Trading account a live funded account?+
All Lucid accounts are Simulated Funded (Sim Funded) accounts. However, traders can work toward being moved to live markets based on performance.
What is the LucidScale DLL?+
The LucidScale DLL replaces the Fixed DLL once your account closes above the Initial Trail Balance. The formula is: Highest EOD Profit × 60% = DLL. It increases as your profits grow and never decreases, giving more flexibility the more profitable you become.
What does the 50% consistency cushion mean on Flex?+
Lucid has a small cushion built into the Flex 50% consistency, meaning the actual threshold is slightly above 50% of your profit. This allows very eager traders to technically pass in two days. However, the cushion is a percentage-based calculation, not a fixed dollar amount — it varies depending on your actual largest day profit.
Does hitting the DLL close my account?+
No. All DLLs at Lucid Trading are soft breaches. Hitting the DLL restricts trading for the rest of the session but does not close your account, as long as your Max Loss Limit (MLL) has not been reached. Only breaching the MLL closes the account.
How is the Max Loss Limit calculated?+
The MLL uses an EOD trailing drawdown system. At the end of each session, the system checks your highest closing balance. If it's a new high, the MLL moves up. Once your balance exceeds the Initial Trail Balance, the MLL locks permanently at Starting Balance + $100 (e.g., $50,100 on a 50K account).
How many payouts can I take from a Flex account?+
Flex accounts are limited to 6 payouts. After the 6th payout, you will be moved to live markets. Pro and Direct accounts have no payout cap.
Is there a monthly rebilling fee for evaluations?+
No. Both Flex and Pro evaluations are one-time fee accounts. There is no monthly rebilling and no time limit to pass — you can take as long as you need.
