03Our take
Lucid has led the PickAPropFirm Power Rankings since launching its Tradovate and NinjaTrader partnership in October 2025. Since day one, the firm has introduced several trader-friendly industry firsts and built a complete lineup of plans that covers nearly every need in the futures prop space. The payouts are fast, the rules are clean, and the team is highly active in the community, consistently listening to traders and acting on their feedback. That combination has helped Lucid grow into the largest futures prop firm in the space. If you are only going to try one firm on this list, make it Lucid. -Jmu

05Plans & pricing
PickAPropFirm Adjusted ROI measures what a plan returns for what it costs: the maximum first payout times the profit split, capped per account size, divided by the plan cost, first payout only. Lucid’s best across all sizes is 32.7x. Compare Adjusted ROI only between plans of the same account size and type. See the full calculation.
PickAPropFirm All-In Cost is the discounted plan price plus any activation fee, in one number. Lucid charges no activation fee, so the discounted price and the All-In Cost are the same number.

10Frequently asked questions
What is the best Lucid Trading discount code?
Code JMU gives the maximum discount possible at Lucid. You will not find a larger discount anywhere. It works on Daily, Flex, Pro and Direct, and pricing across PickAPropFirm already reflects it.
What is LucidDaily?
Lucid’s newest eval, built around payout speed: once funded you can request a payout every single day. Plans start at $55 for a 25k, with a 50% eval consistency rule, 2 minimum days, and both EOD and intraday drawdown variants, each with or without a daily loss limit.
How fast does Lucid actually pay out?
Funded payouts on Daily, Flex, Pro, and Direct are approved and paid in under 15 minutes, often within just a minute or two of the request. Methods are Plaid ACH instant bank transfer for US traders, WorkMarket by ADP for international, and crypto.
What does “EOD trailing drawdown” mean?
Your max loss limit trails your end-of-day balance instead of ticking up with every intraday high. On Lucid it locks at break-even once you’re up your drawdown amount, which is the most trader-friendly version of a trailing drawdown.
What makes Flex different from Pro?
Flex is cheaper, has no consistency rule, and asks for 5 profitable days per payout with per-payout caps (after 5 payouts you move live). Pro can pay out any day with a $500 minimum and a 40% consistency check per cycle. High-frequency withdrawers want Pro; budget entries want Flex.
Does Lucid allow news trading, bots, or copy trading?
Yes to most of it. News trading is allowed on Flex, Pro and Direct, but trading red-folder news on LucidDaily is a hard breach. DCA and scaling into positions are fine, and bots and trade copiers are permitted as long as they follow the account rules, with any copier malfunction on you. Copy trading works natively through Tradovate Group Trading across up to 5 accounts, and third-party copiers are allowed too. The one thing they police is microscalping: if more than 50% of your profits come from trades held 5 seconds or less, the account gets reviewed. Martingaling is strongly discouraged.
How many accounts can I run?
Up to 10 evaluation accounts and 5 funded accounts per household, and up to 5 LucidLive accounts, one per eligible funded account (Live is invite-only). LucidMaxx (invite-only) supports up to 5 accounts under its own criteria.
Is Lucid available in my country?
Lucid restricts 76 countries. The full ISO list is in the Country Availability section above. If your country isn’t listed, you can sign up.
What is LucidMaxx?
An invite-only tier added in February 2026 with daily payout requests and up to 5 accounts. Lucid hasn’t published the selection criteria. It appears to be offered to consistently profitable funded traders.
Does Lucid Direct have a minimum number of trading days?
Lucid does not publish a minimum trading day requirement on LucidDirect. It does not need to. The 20% consistency rule caps any single day at that share of total profit, so reaching the profit goal takes at least 5 profitable days no matter how large you size. That is why our table shows 5 minimum days on LucidDirect: the number is derived from the consistency rule, not stated by the firm.
Which Lucid plan returns the most for what you pay?
At the 25K size, LucidDaily Intraday DLL. It costs $55 and carries a PickAPropFirm Adjusted ROI of 20.5x, meaning a capped first payout returns that many times the plan cost. LucidDirect D2F sits at 3.8x for $238. Compare only within one account size, because the payout caps scale with the account.
What do the daily loss limit and drawdown options cost on LucidDaily?
They stack, and at the 25K size each one costs the same. LucidDaily Intraday DLL is $55. Removing the daily loss limit (Intraday NO DLL) is $80, and switching to end of day drawdown (EOD DLL) is also $65. Taking both, LucidDaily EOD NO DLL, is $90. PickAPropFirm Adjusted ROI falls 20.5x, then 17.3x, then 12.5x across those steps. Every rule you relax costs you twice: once in price, once in return.
What is the fastest a Lucid account can actually pay you?
LucidDaily requires 2 minimum trading days and allows a payout request 1 day later, and Lucid pays to a bank account in under 15 minutes. The plan that passes fastest is not the plan that pays fastest: LucidPro clears in 1 minimum day, but its first payout window is 3 days out.
Why is the LucidDaily payout cap so much higher than the other plans?
Because LucidDaily is the only plan that keeps an intraday drawdown in the funded stage, a tighter rule than the EOD trailing drawdown on the other funded plans, and the higher ceiling is the reward for trading it. At 25K the LucidDaily plans cap a single payout at $6,000 while LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect cap at $1,000. Same account size, same 90% split, six times the ceiling. A little more difficult, but higher rewards: if the goal is pulling money out rather than passing cheaply, that ceiling matters more than the entry price.
Is the price on Lucid’s site the price you actually pay?
Yes. Lucid charges no activation or funding fee, so the discounted price and the PickAPropFirm All-In Cost are the same number. Across the firms we track, the All-In Cost is usually the plan price plus an activation fee charged once you reach a funded account, and that fee is where the real cost of a cheap looking evaluation tends to hide.
How much do you have to make before Lucid lets you withdraw?
It depends which rule binds first. On LucidDaily at 25K the profit target is $1,250 against $1,000 of drawdown room, so the goal is only slightly larger than the room you have to lose. LucidPro adds a 40% funded consistency rule, which raises the effective bar because no single day may exceed that share of the total.
What is the catch with a $55 Lucid account?
Nothing. It is LucidDaily Intraday DLL at the 25K size, and it is the cheapest because it carries both a daily loss limit and intraday drawdown, the tightest combination Lucid offers. LucidFlex is also $50 at 25K but requests payouts on a longer cycle. The right question is not which plan is cheapest but which rule set you can actually trade, which is why our table shows drawdown type next to price.
Does Lucid’s profit split change?
No. Every Lucid plan pays 90% from the first payout, at every account size. There is no scaling ladder to climb and no threshold to cross. Firms advertising a 100% split generally apply it to a first tranche of profit only, then drop to a rate at or below this one.

Before
− As of 11/04/2026, this tiered pricing system is no longer applicable and has been moved to "Legacy" content.
Our goal is to keep pricing as low as possible for traders who demonstrate discipline and strong risk management. However, to ensure long-term sustainability, pricing adjusts based on a trader’s live performance.
How Pricing Works
LucidMaxx uses a dynamic tiered pricing system based on live account outcomes:
- Traders who successfully clear live drawdown:
- Keep their current tier eval pricing
- Pricing does not increase, even if the account is later lost
- Traders who repeatedly blow live accounts without clearing drawdown:
- Move into higher pricing tiers over time
- Each tier reflects increased risk to the firm
This structure ensures:
- Consistent traders are rewarded with stable, low pricing
- High-risk behavior is discouraged through higher costs

Being Evaluated for Live
Lucid's risk team continuously monitors trader performance to determine when a trader is ready to transition to live futures trading.
Traders enter the live review pool when one or more of the following conditions are met:
- After receiving the final payout (Payout 5) on their Flex, Pro, or Direct plan
- After being paid out a significant amount of capital lifetime
- If they earn the Maximum Daily Profit for their LucidDaily account size
- If they have exceptional performance in sim funded
- If they have previously been moved live
Payout 5 represents the maximum payout level, not a guaranteed minimum for live eligibility. This maximum payout level applies to Flex, Pro, and Direct plans.
All live transitions occur at the discretion of the Lucid risk team.
Cashout
Section: Cashout
− A cashout option has been introduced for traders who do not yet feel comfortable trading live capital. This cashout option is equal to 50% of a traders live starting balance.
Transition to Live
When a futures trader is moved to live:
- Traders receive one live account per eligible funded account
- Each funded account must have received at least one payout to qualify
All live accounts begin with:
- $0 starting balance
- Daily payouts
- End of Day (EOD) drawdown
- No daily loss limit
Funded Account Size | Starting Live Drawdown | Max Live Contract Limit*
$25,000 | $1,000 | 2 minis or 20 micros
$50,000 | $2,000 | 4 minis or 40 micros
$100,000 | $3,000 | 6 minis or 60 micros
$150,000 | $4,500 | 10 minis or 100 micros
*Certain extremely volatile contracts have reduced position sizing to ensure traders do not exceed the live drawdown. Please see the Live Scaling Plan for further information per account size.
Consistency Rules at Live
There are no consistency requirements for live accounts. Once promoted from sim-funded to live, consistency rules no longer apply regardless of your account type (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDirect, LucidDaily).
Locking the Live MLL
Lucid Live accounts use an End-of-Day Drawdown (EOD Drawdown) system to calculate the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
- At the end of each trading session, the system calculates the account’s highest closing balance.
- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
Section: Repeatable Live Bonus
− To earn the Live Bonus, a trader must meet 2 objectives:
− - Generate Live Profits equal to the Profit target outlined below.
− - Complete 20 trading days (1+ trade taken, generating +$1/-$1 P&L net of fees)
− When achieved:
− - The Live Bonus is paid out rather than added to account balance
Repeatable Live Bonus
A trader may be eligible to earn a repeatable bonus, based on their Live performance. The Live Bonus is subject to a 90/10 profit split.
To earn the Live Bonus, a trader must meet 2 objectives:
- Generate Live Profits above the starting balance, equal to the Profit target outlined below.
− - The profit target calculation is not negatively impacted by taking payouts
- Complete 20 trading days
A trading day is defined as 1+ trade taken, generating +$1/-$1 P&L net of fees at the end of the trading session. We strongly encourage legitimate trading activity, and exploitation of this bonus system, via "contract flipping" or similar, may lead to further review.
Funded Account Size | Live Profit Target | Trading Days | Live Bonus
$25,000 | $2,000 | 20 | $1,000
$50,000 | $4,000 | 20 | $2,000
$100,000 | $6,000 | 20 | $3,000
$150,000 | $9,000 | 20 | $4,500
Example
A trader is moved live with five $50,000 funded accounts:
- Each account starts with $0 balance and $2,000 EOD drawdown
- The trader earns the Live Profit Target in each account
- The trader completes 20 trading days with a net PnL of +$1/-$1, net of fees
- Lucid releases a $2,000 Live Bonus, per account, as a payout to the trader
- Trader receives a $9,000 bonus payout in total, after the 90/10 profit split
LucidMaxx Status
Select traders may eventually earn LucidMaxx status.
LucidMaxx traders:
- May purchase the LucidMaxx evaluation
- Receive access to daily, uncapped payouts
- Live balance is static for Maxxers, not EOD
- Once a Maxxer reaches Live, their account starts with a balance above $0, which is withdrawable from day 1
Please refer to the LucidMaxx documentation for full details.
LucidLive Account FAQ
Do all funded prop accounts move live at once?
Yes. All eligible funded prop accounts (with at least one payout) are moved when a trader transitions to live.
What happens to remaining simulated prop accounts?
Section: LucidLive Account FAQ
− All simulated prop accounts are closed when a trader is moved live. If a funded account is not moved live because it has 0 payouts, the evaluation cost of that account will be refunded.
If you are not comfortable with evaluations being closed, do not keep evaluations in reserve.
If I am live, can someone in my household still trade sim?
No. If one household member is trading live, others may not trade simulated accounts.
Can I hedge my live accounts?
Absolutely not. Hedging live accounts is strictly prohibited by both Lucid and the CME. This includes any copytrader issues that may arise. Violations will result in a permanent ban.

PremierLucid Trading · Prohibited: Hedging | Lucid Trading Help CenterAdded clarification that balance resets from hedging detection do not reset total remaining drawdown on accounts.Oct 6
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
What Is It?
Hedging refers to the use of multiple accounts to take opposing positions on the same trade. This tactic artificially reduces risk by ensuring one account profits regardless of the market’s direction. It is a form of system manipulation, not genuine trading.
Example:
A trader goes long on one NQ in one account and short NQ on another. No matter which way the market moves, one account gains while the other loses, manipulating the program structure to secure profits unfairly.
Prohibited Forms of Hedging
Lucid Trading strictly prohibits all forms of hedging, including but not limited to:
- Hedging across multiple accounts held by the same user
- Hedging between different users' accounts
- Hedging between different firms or funded platforms
- Any other form of hedging designed to bypass risk management rules
What Happens If I Hedge?
Lucid Trading has automated risk systems in place to detect hedging behavior. If your account is flagged:
Section: What Happens If I Hedge?
− - You will receive an email notice & the associated accounts will be reset to prior days balance.
- After repeated offenses all involved accounts will be breached and you may be permanently restricted from using Lucid Trading services.
Why Is It Prohibited?
Lucid Trading is committed to funding skilled, consistent traders, not those exploiting structural loopholes. Hedging:
- Misrepresents a trader’s actual risk and skill
- Undermines the evaluation process
- Threatens the long-term sustainability of the firm
Allowing hedging would make it impossible to identify and reward legitimate trading performance.
Common Questions
Can I go long X contract and short X contract?
- No, you cannot go long / short the same contract in the same or separate accounts. This is strictly prohibited.
Can I go long X contract Mini and short X contract Micros?

What Is It?
Hedging refers to the use of multiple accounts to take opposing positions on the same trade. This tactic artificially reduces risk by ensuring one account profits regardless of the market’s direction. It is a form of system manipulation, not genuine trading.
Example:
A trader goes long on one NQ in one account and short NQ on another. No matter which way the market moves, one account gains while the other loses, manipulating the program structure to secure profits unfairly.
Prohibited Forms of Hedging
Lucid Trading strictly prohibits all forms of hedging, including but not limited to:
- Hedging across multiple accounts held by the same user
- Hedging between different users' accounts
- Hedging between different firms or funded platforms
- Any other form of hedging designed to bypass risk management rules
What Happens If I Hedge?
Lucid Trading has automated risk systems in place to detect hedging behavior. If your account is flagged:

+ - You will receive an email notice & the associated accounts will be reset to prior days balance. Despite the balance reset, this does not reset the total remaining drawdown on these accounts.
- After repeated offenses all involved accounts will be breached and you may be permanently restricted from using Lucid Trading services.
Why Is It Prohibited?
Lucid Trading is committed to funding skilled, consistent traders, not those exploiting structural loopholes. Hedging:
- Misrepresents a trader’s actual risk and skill
- Undermines the evaluation process
- Threatens the long-term sustainability of the firm
Allowing hedging would make it impossible to identify and reward legitimate trading performance.

$50,000 | $2,000 | 4 minis or 40 micros
$100,000 | $3,000 | 6 minis or 60 micros
$150,000 | $4,500 | 10 minis or 100 micros
*Certain extremely volatile contracts have reduced position sizing to ensure traders do not exceed the live drawdown. Please see the Live Scaling Plan for further information per account size.
Consistency Rules at Live
There are no consistency requirements for live accounts. Once promoted from sim-funded to live, consistency rules no longer apply regardless of your account type (LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDirect, LucidDaily).
Locking the Live MLL
Lucid Live accounts use an End-of-Day Drawdown (EOD Drawdown) system to calculate the Max Loss Limit (MLL).
- At the end of each trading session, the system calculates the account’s highest closing balance.
- The MLL increases as the account balance grows, up to a defined point.
- Once a trader generates live profits equal to their starting live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks at $100 and no longer moves.
- If a trader requests a live payout before generating profits over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $100.
