What stands out
A $1,200 daily loss limit on most 50K accounts. LucidDaily, LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect all pause the day at a $1,200 loss.
LucidDaily comes in two evaluation styles. One trails the drawdown at the end of the day, the other intraday on open profit. Either way, the funded stage trails intraday, and news trading is restricted. To pass, no day may be more than 40% of your profit.
LucidFlex and LucidPro allow news trading. Flex puts its 40% consistency rule on passing; Pro puts it on payouts instead.
LucidDirect skips the evaluation, with a stricter payout rule: your best day can be no more than 20% of profit. LucidMaxx is invite-only and has two steps.
Two closing times. Evaluation and funded accounts close out by 4:45 PM Eastern; Live accounts by 4:15 PM. Thirty days without trading closes an account.
