Lucid Trading vs TradeDay
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, TradeDay comes out ahead (90 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 $2,000 (50K) / $3,000 (100K) / $4,500 (150K), freezing at the starting balance, breached intraday. The intraday-vs-end-of-day method is chosen per account at purchase — Quick Pay is available as either, Fast Pass is EOD-only.
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).
No daily loss limit was found anywhere on the firm's pages — the only loss mechanism is the trailing drawdown — but the absence is not explicitly confirmed.
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.
Consistency applies only in the evaluation: no day may exceed 30% (Quick Pay) or 45% (Fast Pass) of total profits to pass; no funded-stage rule was found.
50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 EOD drawdown, no minimum days — the evaluation can be passed in one trading day.
50K: $3,000 target, $2,000 drawdown, 5-day minimum. Fast Pass: TradeDay's pricing cards say a 3-day minimum; its how-it-works page and rules FAQ say there is none. Plan on 3.
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.
On-demand payouts processed within 24 business hours, from day one on Quick Pay (minimum $250), at a 50/50 split below $4,000 net profit, 80/20 above it, and 90/10 on Funded Live.
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 Quick Pay (intraday): monthly subscription ~$125/month (sometimes 50% off), no activation. $60 reset.
