How to play Lucid Trading
Futures only (ES/NQ/GC) on NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Quantower or Rithmic - skip it if you trade forex or spot. LucidFlex at $79 (25K) is the cheapest way in, but read the checkout toggle first: every plan now sells the Daily Loss Limit as an ON/OFF option, and the cheap price is the DLL-ON version. Turning it off costs $10-$50 depending on plan and size. LucidDaily is the new plan and the one to look at…
Things to know before you buy
- The Daily Loss Limit is a PAID CHECKOUT OPTION on every plan, not a fixed rule - the advertised price is the DLL-ON build and turning the limit off costs $10-$50 more. The choice is locked for the…
- 'DLL' in Lucid's own pricing tables means DAILY LOSS LIMIT, not EA/DLL file support - and every DLL is a soft breach (locked out for the session, account survives)
- LucidDaily is the only plan that bans news trading - US high-impact red-folder news on a funded account is a HARD breach, while Pro, Flex and Direct allow it with no blackout at all
- LucidDaily funded accounts are always INTRADAY drawdown even if you paid for the EOD evaluation - the EOD choice buys you flexibility only while you are still evaluating
- LucidDaily has no per-payout cap, but it does have a maximum daily sim profit ($6,000-$12,000). Hit it and you are automatically pushed into the live review pool whether or not you wanted to go live
