Four routes. Different tradeoffs.
Pro, Flex and Daily start with an evaluation. Direct starts in sim funded. All use one-time entry fees with no monthly account subscription or activation fee.
Lucid’s appeal is its range of payout structures and one-time pricing. Flex is the clearest option for traders who want no funded consistency test; Daily trades payout frequency for intraday risk. Pro favors a quick evaluation, while Direct trades a higher entry cost for skipping it.
DLL choices apply to customizable evaluations and carry into funded settings. Direct has its own DLL. These controls compare the website’s published configurations; they do not configure a purchase.
Regular and coupon prices were checked in Lucid’s live configurator. Coupon mode includes the website’s displayed DLL savings; it does not calculate 40% OFF. The public site advertises VAULT. Confirm the supplied IPOM3SGLO7 offer and final total at checkout.

How your loss limit moves.
EOD changes the trailing threshold after the session. Intraday follows real-time profit. The threshold itself remains a hard limit.
Choose the platform with the plan.
CQG: NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView. Rithmic: Quantower, Tradesea, MotiveWave, Sierra Chart, Jigsaw, Bookmap, ATAS, R|Trader Pro and MultiCharts. Lucid says listed platforms work across account types; confirm any license or connection costs for your choice.
What unlocks a payout.
A fast activation is separate from payout eligibility. Each program has its own profit requirements, request limits and risk room after withdrawal.
Eligibility at the selected size
All four sim-funded programs use a 90/10 profit split and a $500 minimum request. Meeting a consistency ratio is only one part of eligibility. Requests are final once submitted.
Payout limits
Every size, all four programs
Caps shown are request limits before applying the 90/10 split. Pro and Direct overview pages say “no simulated payout caps,” while their dedicated payout articles publish the caps shown here. Confirm the applicable agreement before purchase.
The current live policy sets payout five as the maximum simulated payout level for Pro, Flex and Direct, with transitions controlled by the risk team. Daily’s maximum daily sim profit is a live-review trigger, not a payout cap.
Processing and payment methods
The payout articles allow up to two business days for disbursement after approval. The methods page’s average of about 15 minutes is not a guaranteed end-to-end time.
The full cost of an account.
Separate the entry purchase, any restart and trading costs. No monthly rebilling does not make resets free.
The rules that matter.
Scope matters: an evaluation rule, a funded payout condition and a live-account requirement can be different. Open a row for the consequence and source.
From evaluation to live review.
Your route depends on the plan. Direct joins at sim funded; the other three first require a passed evaluation.
Live accounts begin at $0 balance with an assigned drawdown, use EOD risk limits and offer daily payouts with no DLL or consistency requirement. The newer policy describes a cashout choice after a move-to-live email with a 24-hour response period. Read the full live terms before choosing.
