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.
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.
