Lucid Trading vs TradeDay
TradeDay
Computed verdict
TradeDay costs less per unit of risk: $29.5 vs $37.25 per $1,000 of drawdown. On the overall score, TradeDay comes out ahead (80 vs 62).
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
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.
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).
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 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.
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.
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.
