Lucid Trading LucidFlex: the numbers, and where the drawdown stops

LucidFlex is Lucid Trading's one-time-fee evaluation with no activation fee. The Max Loss Limit trails your highest closing balance and locks at your starting balance plus $100. You pick at checkout whether to add a daily loss limit and whether to pass with a 40% or 50% consistency rule.

The 25K is the odd one out: its profit target is $1,250, lower than the $1,500 most firms ask on a 25K. The 100K and 150K give you fewer contracts than Apex or Tradeify at the same size (6 and 10 minis).

Choices you make at checkout

Where the drawdown stops

LucidFlex uses an end-of-day drawdown. At each session close the Max Loss Limit moves up with your highest closing balance and never comes back down. Once your balance clears the starting balance plus the drawdown plus $100, it locks at the starting balance plus $100. On a 50K that means: get to $52,100 at a close and your floor is $50,100 for good.

Request a payout on the funded account and the floor jumps straight to that locked level, even if you hadn't reached it yet. Plan your first payout with that in mind.

Cost

LucidFlex is a one-time fee with no monthly rebill and no time limit. Lucid shows prices in a plan widget with frequent coupons, so check the checkout price. Upgrading to the funded account is free and usually takes minutes after you hit the target.

Practice the rule set first

FundedSim doesn't simulate Lucid's exact rules yet. The closest practice for the drawdown is an end-of-day trailing account of the same size in the simulator, such as Apex 50K End of Day or Topstep 50K. Track the consistency percentage yourself.

Blow it here, not on a paid eval

Run the same rules on your own trades in the simulator. Free, no card, and a blown account costs you nothing but pride.
