Lucid Trading payout rules: buffer, cycles and caps by plan
Same split on every Lucid plan, four different gates. The buffer is a one-time cost, the per-request cap a permanent throttle, and that decides which plan pays more over a year. All 40 firms side by side: prop firm payout rules compared.
Payout rules by plan
| Rule | Lucid |
|---|---|
| Split and minimum | 90/10 on every account, $500 minimum, no fixed windows, funds within two business days |
| LucidPro | 3-day cycle; buffer of initial MLL + $100 cleared; per-cycle profit goal by size; 40% consistency (35% for accounts before 28 Nov 2025) |
| LucidFlex | 5 profitable days per cycle; 50% of available profit per request; $2,000 cap on a 50K; no buffer; no consistency |
| LucidDaily | request on any eligible day above the buffer; no per-request cap; reaching the maximum daily sim profit in one session triggers the live transition, sim payouts capped at $15,000 |
| LucidDirect | per-cycle profit goal; 20% consistency |
| Live | five payouts put the account in the live review pool; Live Bonus up to $4,500 on the first move; Live runs EOD, locks at $100, no consistency |
| Inactivity | accounts untouched for 30 days are permanently deleted |
Reading the buffer
On LucidPro and LucidDaily the first $2,100 of profit on a 50K is not withdrawable; it is the cushion that later lets the floor lock. On LucidFlex there is no buffer but each request is capped at half of the available profit and $2,000 on a 50K, so a $6,000 month pays out over three requests. For a systematic strategy the buffer is a one-time cost and the per-request cap is a permanent throttle, which makes Pro the better long-run cadence and Flex the faster first payout.

FAQ
What is the Lucid Trading profit split?
90/10 on every account, with a $500 minimum request and no fixed payout windows.
How many days before a Lucid payout?
LucidPro: a 3-day cycle plus the buffer; LucidFlex: 5 profitable days per cycle; LucidDaily: any eligible day above the buffer.
What are the LucidFlex payout rules?
Five profitable days per payout cycle, then a request for up to 50% of the available profit, capped at $2,000 on a 50K. There is no buffer and no consistency rule on the funded Flex account; the split is 90/10 with a $500 minimum request, no fixed payout windows, and funds within two business days.
What are the LucidPro payout rules?
A 3-day cycle, the buffer of the initial maximum loss limit plus $100 cleared first ($2,100 on a 50K), a per-cycle profit goal that depends on account size, and a 40% consistency check per payout cycle (35% for accounts bought or reset before 28 November 2025). Split 90/10, $500 minimum, no fixed windows.
What is the maximum payout at Lucid Trading?
It depends on the plan. LucidFlex pays at most 50% of available profit per request, $2,000 on a 50K. LucidPro and LucidDirect pay against a per-cycle profit goal by size rather than a fixed cap. LucidDaily has no per-request cap above the buffer, but sim payouts are capped at $15,000 and hitting the maximum daily sim profit in one session moves the account to the live transition. Five payouts on any plan put the account in the live review pool, with a Live Bonus of up to $4,500 on the first move.
What would the first payout on a LucidFlex funded account be?
Up to half of the profit available after 5 profitable days, capped at $2,000 on a 50K, and at least $500 to request at all; 90% of the approved amount is paid to you. A $6,000 month on a 50K therefore pays out over three requests, as the buffer section above shows.
