A LucidPro account cannot be switched once bought.Where the DLL is chosen, the funded account swaps the fixed limit for a scaling one (60% of the best end-of-day profit) once it closes above the trail balance. Lucid's pages disagree about $25K: the DLL article lists “None” for the $25K evaluation and funded account, while the funded-account article and the homepage card list $600. Both are published here.

LucidDaily

$25K to $150K
Drawdown
trailing, end of day in the evaluation · trailing, intraday once fundedThe evaluation is bought with either an end-of-day or an intraday trailing drawdown (intraday is cheaper); the evaluation stage here is the end-of-day version. The funded account is always intraday, trailing real-time P&L. Either way it locks at the starting balance plus $100 once the balance passes the initial trail balance.
Source
“LucidDaily evaluation accounts may have an End-of-Day drawdown or an Intraday drawdown depending on which option you select at check out. The LucidDaily funded accounts always use an Intraday drawdown.”
LucidDaily Drawdown
Daily loss
NoneOptional, chosen at purchase: on in both stages or off in both. With it on, a fixed limit of $600 / $1,200 / $1,800 / $2,700 applies; hitting it stops trading for the session without failing the account. It does not trail, so once the drawdown trails above it the drawdown is the tighter limit.

trailing, end of day in the evaluation · trailing, end of day once fundedThere is no evaluation; the funded account uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance plus $100 once the balance passes the initial trail balance.

Daily loss
YesA fixed daily limit applies from $50K up ($1,200 / $2,100 / $3,000; none at $25K), replaced by a scaling limit of 60% of the best end-of-day profit once the account closes above its trail balance. It is a soft breach: trading stops for the session and the account survives.

“All DLLs at Lucid Trading are considered soft breaches, meaning you do not lose your account for hitting DLL as long as the Max Loss Limit (MLL) has not been reached.
