LucidDaily Payout Buffer: Calculate Your First $500 Request
Code verified by Yash R on 1 November 2026.

Quick answer

LucidDaily requires profit above a protected buffer before a payout can be requested. The minimum request is $500, so merely reaching the buffer is not enough. Use the buffer balance plus the intended request to calculate a starting balance requirement, then check all other account conditions.

The code affects the accepted purchase fee. The selected account’s trading, risk and payout conditions still apply.

Prop Firm Audit records AUDIT for 30% off LucidDaily purchases. That discount reduces a covered purchase fee; it does not reduce the payout buffer.

Editorial and source-reference review: 25 October 2026. Account conditions must be matched to the selected model and issued agreement. This article covers the simulated futures program. Coupon verified on 1 November 2026. Verified code: AUDIT.

Buffer balance versus withdrawable profit

Lucid lists buffer balances of $26,100, $52,100, $103,100 and $154,600 for its four account sizes. Money inside the buffer cannot be requested. A positive net trading result since the previous payout is also required. Source: LucidDaily payout policy.

Keep three amounts separate: the starting account label, the protected balance and the amount above that balance. A 50K label does not mean a trader can withdraw any balance above $50,000.

First-request calculator

The following arithmetic adds a $500 request to each published buffer. It is a planning threshold, not a promise of approval.

Account sizeProtected buffer balanceBalance supporting $500 above bufferProfit above starting size
25K$26,100$26,600$1,600
50K$52,100$52,600$2,600
100K$103,100$103,600$3,600
150K$154,600$155,100$5,100

Amount above buffer = current balance − buffer balance

If the result is negative, treat available excess as zero. Do not confuse the amount needed to reach the buffer with the additional amount needed for a minimum request.

Worked 50K example

Assume a 50K account has a balance of $52,450. Subtracting its $52,100 buffer leaves $350. The account has profit, but this arithmetic does not support a $500 request.

At $52,900, the excess is $800. Requesting $500 would leave $52,400 if the account debit equals the request and there are no other balance changes. That is $300 above the protected buffer.

$52,450$350None in this example$52,450$350
$52,900$800$500$52,400$300
$53,200$1,100$700$52,500$400

These examples assume all other requirements are satisfied. Recalculate from the actual dashboard immediately before submitting.

A request is not the same as cash received

Lucid publishes a 90% trader share. For a hypothetical $500 gross approved payout subject to that split, the trader's share would be $450 before any separate payment adjustments. Check how the dashboard labels the request and deduction fields instead of treating gross and net amounts as interchangeable.

Requests cannot be edited or canceled after submission. Lucid also warns that trading into the buffer before processing may cause a request to be denied. Those conditions make the final balance check important. See the official payout instructions.

Use AUDIT without mixing purchase savings and payout money

The recorded Lucid offer assigns 30% to Daily, while Flex, Pro and Direct have a separate 30% offer.

LucidDaily calculated purchase price = covered price × 0.70

Hypothetical LucidDaily purchase priceAUDIT saving at 30%Calculated amount paid
$100$30$70
$150$45$105
$200$60$140

These are calculator inputs, not freshly verified account quotes. Select the actual size, platform and configuration, enter AUDIT, and confirm the reduction before paying.

A $60 purchase saving is money not spent on the purchase. It is not $60 of trading profit, does not increase the account balance and cannot be counted toward the $500 minimum request.

Check the configuration before committing

LucidDaily lets buyers choose evaluation EOD or intraday drawdown and whether to include a daily loss limit. All Daily funded accounts use intraday drawdown, regardless of the evaluation choice. The settings cannot be changed on an active account. Source: LucidDaily customization.

Before buying, write down the configuration, accepted coupon price and buffer for the selected size. Before withdrawing, record the current balance, requested amount, expected debit and remaining room. Keeping those two worksheets separate prevents a discounted entry fee from obscuring the later payout requirements.
