Lucid Trading plans compared: LucidPro vs Flex vs Daily vs Direct
The consistency rule sits on the evaluation in two Lucid plans and on the funded account in the other two. The grid, and which plan fits which strategy.
Four plans and a Live tier
Lucid’s plans differ on two rows that decide fit for a coded strategy: where the consistency rule sits (evaluation or funded) and whether the funded account trails intraday. LucidLive, after five payouts and review, runs EOD with a $100 lock and no consistency.
| Rule | LucidPro | LucidFlex | LucidDaily | LucidDirect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation drawdown | EOD trailing | EOD trailing | EOD or intraday, chosen at checkout | instant: no evaluation |
| Funded drawdown | EOD | EOD | intraday, always | EOD |
| Daily loss limit | none on 25K; fixed on 50K+ | none | optional at checkout | not fixed |
| Consistency | none in eval; 40% per payout cycle once funded (35% for accounts before 28 Nov 2025) | 50% in eval; none once funded | 50% in eval; none once funded | 20% |
| Minimum days | 3-day cycle plus buffer per payout | 5 profitable days per payout cycle | any eligible day | per-cycle profit goal |
| Contract cap (50K) | 4 minis | 4, Flex funded starts at 2 | 4 | 4 |
| Buffer | initial MLL + $100 ($2,100 on 50K) | none | initial MLL + $100 | — |
| News | allowed | allowed | US high-impact news is a hard breach once funded | allowed |
| Payout | 90/10, $500 minimum, per-cycle profit goal | 90/10; 50% of profit per request, $2,000 cap on 50K | 90/10, daily; live transition when the max daily sim profit is hit | 90/10 |
| Overnight and weekend | close by 4:45 pm ET; no weekends | same | same | same |
Which plan for a systematic strategy
LucidPro has the friendliest evaluation and a 40% rule once funded plus a $2,100 buffer on a 50K: right for strategies with even days. LucidFlex is the reverse (50% in the evaluation, none once funded) with a smaller starting cap and no buffer: right for lumpy strategies that can pass a 50% rule. LucidDaily pays daily but trails intraday once funded and treats US high-impact news as a hard breach; only for tight-stop systems with a news filter. LucidDirect skips the evaluation at a 20% consistency rule, the tightest of the four.
