LucidPro and LucidDirect list prices read from lucidtrading.com on 2026-08-17. LucidFlex and LucidDaily publish no list price at all — their cost resolves only at checkout once you pick the purchase-time options. Lucid also runs a standing public discount applied at checkout, so the headline figure you see may already be the discounted one — verify the current price at checkout.

Platforms
Rules & restrictions
- News trading allowed on Pro, Flex and Direct — but on LucidDaily, trading red-folder news is a hard breach and you must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after the event
- Genuine scalping, DCA and algos permitted
- No overnight: all positions are auto-closed at 4:45pm EST Monday to Friday; trading resumes 6:00pm EST Sunday to Thursday. Swing trading is barred on the new LucidLive accounts
- Microscalping (≤5 seconds) prohibited
Pros
- One-time fee, no activation, no monthly subscription
- End-of-day trailing drawdown with soft daily-loss limits on Pro, Flex and Direct
- Broad platform support across CQG and Rithmic feeds
- DCA, genuine scalping and algos permitted, and news trading is allowed on Pro, Flex and Direct
Cons
- Funded accounts carry consistency rules, and Pro gates EVERY payout behind a buffer, not just the first
- Flex caps total payouts at 5 before forcing the live transition
- Intraday only: positions are force-closed at 4:45pm EST, so no overnight or weekend holds
- LucidDaily is the odd one out: intraday drawdown once funded, and red-folder news is a hard breach
- The headline figure on the site is the discounted price, so the sticker is coupon-conditional — and Flex and Daily publish no list price at all

The desk’s read
Lucid Trading is a US futures-only firm offering evaluation (Pro, Flex, Daily) and straight-to-funded (Direct) simulated accounts from 25K to 150K with a 90/10 split. Pro, Flex and Direct run an end-of-day trailing drawdown; LucidDaily is the exception — its funded accounts are always intraday and its evaluation makes you choose the model at purchase. Accounts are one-time fees with no monthly billing or activation, and payouts have no fixed window and disburse within about two business days. Pro and Direct publish list prices on the site alongside a standing discount, while Flex and Daily price only at checkout once you pick their purchase-time options — so verify the current price at checkout.
