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.
All plans use an end-of-day trailing drawdown ($1,000–$5,000 by plan and size) that moves only at session close and locks 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).
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 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.
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.
