Earn2Trade vs Lucid Trading
Lucid Trading
Computed verdict
There isn't a current verified offer on both firms, so we don't call a cost winner. On the overall score, Lucid Trading comes out ahead (65 vs 61).
The verdict is computed from verified data and recomputes when the data changes. It is not an opinion and no commercial arrangement alters it. Methodology
Rule by rule
In the Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path evaluations, an end-of-day trailing drawdown that adjusts at close, is breached intraday against open equity, and freezes at the starting balance (GAU50 = $2,000). Funded Live accounts switch to a continuous intraday trailing drawdown, and the largest Trader Career Path funded accounts use a FIXED minimum balance ($194,000 on the $200K, $388,000 on the $400K) that never trails.
LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDirect use an end-of-day trailing drawdown ($1,000–$5,000 by plan and size) that moves only at session close; the new LucidDaily instead trails in real time on funded accounts ($1,000–$4,500 intraday, with an eval-time choice of intraday or EOD). All plans lock the limit permanently at initial balance + $100 once you clear the initial trail.
A hard daily loss limit including open P&L and commissions — touching it for an instant, even without closing the position, fails the evaluation. In the Gauntlet Mini it runs $1,100 (GAU50) to $4,400 (GAU200); the Trader Career Path starts lower (e.g. $550 on the $25K).
Soft daily limit that restricts you until the next session without failing the account. On LucidPro it is $1,200 (50K) to $2,700 (150K), 25K none, fixed until the initial trail is cleared. LucidDirect funded accounts instead use a scaling DLL set at 60% of the peak end-of-day BALANCE ($1,200 to $3,000 by size). The new LucidDaily uses a fixed $600–$2,700 by size, identical in evaluation and funded — and unlike the others its 25K does carry a DLL ($600).
A 30% rule in the evaluation only: no day may be 30% or more of total PnL (it never fails you, just delays passing); funded accounts have no consistency rule.
No consistency in the LucidPro evaluation; on funded LucidPro your best day can't exceed 40% of profit at payout request (it only blocks the payout), and LucidFlex uses 5 winning days per cycle instead. The new LucidDaily flips the pattern: a 50% consistency gate applies in its evaluation only, and none once funded.
50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 EOD drawdown, no minimum days — the evaluation can be passed in one trading day.
Weekly Wednesday payouts from $100 minimum net; the split is set by EACH withdrawal's size against your account tier's threshold: TCP 25K–200K switch from 50/50 to 80/20 at $1,500/$2,250/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000 (TCP 400K is a fixed 60/40), and Gauntlet Mini funded accounts GM50–GM200 at $2,250/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000.
Payouts have no fixed windows — request whenever you qualify and get paid within 2 business days — at a 90/10 split from the first dollar with per-payout caps by plan and size.
Gauntlet Mini 50K (GAU50): $170/month on Earn2Trade's Gauntlet Mini page. Their own homepage advertises the same programme "From $68", and we do not treat that gap as settled. Earn2Trade states "No Upfront Activation Fee" — upfront is their word, and a separately reported $139 LiveSim activation deducted from your first withdrawal is consistent with it, so we do not publish this as having no activation fee. Retries come with the monthly renewal.
LucidFlex 50K: Lucid states no price for it. Checked first-hand on 2026-09-10 — their pages load and no Lucid page serves any LucidFlex dollar figure — so we publish none either. Lucid's homepage serves "FOR THE BEST DEAL USE CODE : VAULT" with no value attached to it. The one Lucid page that does give dollar figures is LucidMaxx eval pricing, a different product, where the $50,000 runs $180 / $215 / $250 / $290 by how many live accounts you have blown without clearing drawdown. Lucid's "no activation fee" statement covers LucidPro, not LucidFlex.
