Lucid Trading review

Lucid is one of the cheapest one-time 50K evaluations we track ($136 for LucidFlex), it allows automated trading, and LucidFlex has no consistency rule once funded. Each LucidFlex account pays out at most five times, capped at $2,000 per request on 50K, before Lucid reviews it for live trading.

Lucid's pricing section does not load from every country; 50K prices are the base prices in Lucid's own online store. Optional add-ons such as a daily loss limit change the price.

End-of-day trailing drawdown

Your loss limit moves up only when a trading day closes at a new high balance. Open profits during the day do not drag it up, so a winning trade you give back intraday does not tighten the limit until the close.
