Capped per request on most plans. LucidFlex: 50% of profit up to $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000, the same for every payout. LucidPro: first payout up to $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000, later payouts up to $1,500 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,500. LucidDirect: payouts 1–3 up to $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 and payouts 4–5 up to $1,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,500. LucidDaily: no per-request cap, but a day's sim profit of $6,000 / $8,000 / $10,000 / $12,000 or more moves the account live.
LucidPro and LucidDaily: the balance must be above a buffer equal to the starting drawdown + $100 ($26,100 / $52,100 / $103,100 / $154,600), and nothing in the buffer can be withdrawn. LucidFlex: no buffer. LucidDirect: no buffer as such, but a profit goal must be reached each cycle.
Fee not included: No fee policy published.

A model, not a forecast: it assumes every win pays exactly your reward, every loss costs exactly your risk, and your win rate holds. Real trading has slippage, streaks and bad days. Firms also measure daily loss in their own way (balance or equity); check Lucid Trading's wording on the rules page.

Consistency rule

✓ No consistency rule on payouts for LucidFlex · $100K: your best day doesn't hold a payout back.

“In LucidFlex evaluation accounts you must have Consistency Percentage of 50% or less to be eligible to upgrade to a LucidFlex funded account.”

LucidFlex Consistency Percentage

Be aware

Of the 16 payout conditions Lucid Trading publishes, these can cost you money or your account.

Can take profit you already madeMicroscalping profits forfeited
Accounts where more than 50% of profit comes from trades held 5 seconds or less are flagged and reviewed; after a warning, continued microscalping forfeits those profits and can end in a permanent ban.
Profit you have already made is taken back rather than paid.
SourceHide source
“If flagged behavior continues after a warning: All profits from microscalping activity will be forfeited You may be permanently restricted from using Lucid Trading services”
Prohibited: Microscalping
Money you cannot withdraw yetBuffer balance (LucidPro and LucidDaily)
Only profit above the starting drawdown + $100 can be withdrawn, so the first $1,100 / $2,100 / $3,100 / $4,600 of profit (by size) stays in the account.
Profit exists in the account but cannot be withdrawn yet.
SourceHide source
“To request a payout, your profits must exceed the buffer balance, which acts as a safety net to avoid hitting Max Loss Limit after a payout. You can not take a payout from the buffer balance.”
LucidDaily Payouts
Money you cannot withdraw yetTrading before approval can void the request
If a trade taken after requesting drops the balance into the buffer (or below the profit goal on LucidDirect) before the payout is processed, the request may be denied; the payout should be treated as already removed.
Profit exists in the account but cannot be withdrawn yet.
SourceHide source
“If you trade after submitting but before approval and your balance drops into the buffer, the request may be denied. If your balance drops below the buffer after deduction, your account is at risk.”
LucidPro Payouts
Left to the firm's discretionA funded account is simulated
Every funded account is simulated. Lucid's risk team moves traders to real (LucidLive) accounts at its discretion: after the fifth payout on a plan, after large lifetime payouts, or for exceptional sim performance. Each eligible funded account (at least one payout) becomes one live account starting at a $0 balance with daily payouts, an end-of-day drawdown and no daily loss limit; all remaining sim accounts are then closed.
You are paid on results in a simulator, not on trades placed in the market.

“Payout 5 represents the maximum payout level, not a guaranteed minimum for live eligibility. All live transitions occur at the discretion of the Lucid risk team.”
