The best Puravida Edge strategy for the Lucid Trading 150K challenge
Lucid Trading runs on EOD trailing, no funded consistency rule. This page matches that rule set to the Puravida Edge portfolio built to live inside it — and shows the simulated outcome distribution, honestly, including the alternative.
The 10-second answer
For the Lucid Trading 150K challenge, run the 150K-Growth portfolio — Anchor MNQ · Reject MGC. It is sized so the loss floor is respected under the firm’s drawdown rule, and it is tracked live since April 2026. Full, current results on the 150K-Growth detail page.
What actually kills traders at Lucid Trading
Lucid uses end-of-day trailing that locks at the initial trail balance, and — unusually — has no consistency rule on the funded account. The one rule to know up front: micro-scalping is banned, which a structural, rule-based entry model is not. Execution is available on TradingView via the Tradovate connection.
No funded consistency rule means a book can let its strongest day stand without engineering profit distribution — a structural fit for a growth-tilted systematic portfolio.

The match
150K-Growth — composition
Sizing: Anchor MNQ 10ct + Reject MGC 1ct. Each leg is a deterministic rule-based strategy with hard-coded entries, targets and drawdown limits.
Why it fits Lucid
Position sizing keeps peak recorded drawdown at 60.8% of the firm's hard drawdown allowance — a deliberate buffer against the EOD trailing, no funded consistency rule, not a coincidence of a lucky sample.
The rule set this sizing is built against — drawdown model, daily loss limit, consistency and minimum days — is on the Lucid firm card, verified monthly.
The alternative
150K-Balanced
The other defensible pick at this firm is 150K-Balanced (Anchor MNQ · Trace MGC) — a higher return ceiling at a higher blow rate. Full, current numbers for every configuration are in the portfolio catalog.
