Daily Loss Limit (DLL)


  • When enabled, the Daily Loss Limit (DLL) caps the loss allowed in one session. Hitting it pauses trading until the next session, provided the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) has not been reached.
  • LucidPro and LucidFlex offer DLL On and DLL Off configurations at purchase, covering both evaluation and funded phases. MLL still applies with DLL Off.


Important Notes

  • Daily-loss settings depend on the model and selected DLL configuration. DLL and Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) are separate rules.
  • Reaching MLL breaches the account. A breached evaluation can be reset by purchasing a reset before the 30-day deletion window expires. Breached accounts that are not reset are automatically deleted after 30 days.
  • All positions must be closed before the daily market close / settlement period. Overnight holding is not permitted unless specifically allowed on live accounts.



Maximum Loss Limit (MLL)


  • The MLL trails the highest end-of-day account balance.
  • Once the account reaches the trailing threshold target, the MLL locks and no longer trails upward.



Micro-scalping Policy


  • Micro-scalping (holding trades for 5 seconds or less) is strictly prohibited.



Payout Structure (LucidPro)


  • LucidPro funded payouts use a 90/10 split: 90% to the trader and 10% to Lucid Trading.
  • Only accounts purchased or reset before 28 November 2025, 3pm EST are eligible for 100% of the first $10,000 in payouts; the 90/10 split applies after that.


To qualify for a payout:

  • Traders must meet the consistency requirement.
  • Traders must maintain profits above the required buffer balance.
  • Traders must meet the minimum profit goal for their account size between payout cycles.



Payout Structure (LucidFlex)


  • 90% to the trader


To qualify for a payout:

  • Complete at least 5 profitable trading days.
  • Maintain positive net profit during the payout cycle.
  • Follow all trading rules and payout policies.



Payout Structure (LucidDirect)


LucidDirect accounts bypass the traditional evaluation phase but operate with stricter payout consistency requirements.


  • 90% Trader


Restrictions:

  • Strict payout consistency rules.
  • Payout caps and drawdown limits apply; the LucidPro payout buffer does not apply to Direct.
  • Ongoing payout qualification objectives.



LucidPro Consistency Rule


  • LucidPro funded accounts require a 40% Consistency Percentage for payout eligibility.
  • Older accounts purchased before November 28, 2025 may still operate under the previous 35% rule.

LucidDirect Consistency Rule


  • LucidDirect accounts require a stricter 20% Consistency Percentage.

Important Consistency Rule Notes

  • The consistency percentage resets after every payout.
  • If the percentage exceeds 40%, additional trading is required before payout eligibility is restored.



Live Account Transition


Traders may become eligible for live funded accounts after:

  • Multiple successful payouts.
  • Consistent risk management.
  • Internal review by Lucid Trading’s risk team.

DLL versus a breached account

What is DLL in Lucid Trading?

DLL means Daily Loss Limit. Hitting an enabled DLL pauses trading until the next session. This is a soft breach: the account stays active as long as MLL has not been reached. DLL policy

What does breached mean on Lucid Trading?

Reaching the Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) breaches the account. It does not resume automatically next session like a DLL pause. Check the Lucid dashboard for the account's status and the rule violated.

Can a breached evaluation be reset? A breached evaluation can be reset by purchasing a reset before the 30-day deletion window expires. Breached accounts that are not reset are automatically deleted after 30 days. Breached-account policy

LucidPro and LucidFlex: DLL On / Off

LucidPro payouts: current split and legacy exception

LucidPro funded payouts use a 90/10 split: 90% to the trader and 10% to Lucid Trading.
