Lucid Trading vs Take Profit Trader
Lucid Trading
Take Profit Trader
Computed verdict
There isn't a current verified offer on both firms, so we don't call a cost winner. On the overall score, Take Profit Trader comes out ahead (76 vs 65).
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
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.
Trailing drawdown of $1,500–$4,500 by size — EOD in the Test (with the breach checked in real time) and intraday in PRO — locking exactly at the starting balance, without the +$100 extra other firms add.
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).
There is no daily loss limit in the Test or PRO (removed January 2025); only PRO+ Development remediation accounts carry a soft $500–$2,000 limit.
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.
Only the Test has a consistency rule: no single day may exceed 50% of total net profits. The rule is soft — exceeding it raises your profit goal rather than failing you. How far it raises it is contested within TPT's own rule: the formula implies twice your best day ($4,000 after a $2,000 day), while TPT's worked example sets it at twice current net P/L ($6,200 on $3,100), and TPT does not say which its dashboard enforces — plan on the higher figure. The PRO and PRO+ rules articles list no consistency rule.
50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 EOD drawdown, no minimum days — the evaluation can be passed in one trading day.
50K: $3,000 target, 3-day minimum on new tests bought from Aug 17, 2026 (existing tests and resets: 5 days), within a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown.
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.
Withdrawals from day one in PRO at an 80/20 split once you clear a buffer equal to the max drawdown, and PRO+ pays daily at 90/10 with no buffer.
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.
50K Test: $150/month subscription, no activation. Test resets are risk-adjusted by size since May 2026 ($79–$199; 50K $99), though one TPT landing still shows the old flat $100. Frequent promos (e.g. NOFEE40).
