Lucid Trading

TrustedUnited StatesEst. 2025

Lucid Trading is a futures proprietary trading firm offering evaluation, simulated funded and direct-to-funded account options. Traders can choose between programs such as LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDirect, depending on whether they want to complete an evaluation or begin directly in a funded-style environment.

The firm is known for its end-of-day trailing drawdown, one-time account fees, broad platform support and 90% trader profit split. Lucid Trading supports futures markets only, including index futures, currencies, metals, energy products and agricultural contracts.

LucidFlex is one of the firm’s more flexible programs. Its funded accounts have no daily loss limit, no consistency requirement and no mandatory payout buffer. Traders must complete five qualifying profitable days and remain net profitable during the payout cycle before requesting a payout.

News trading, automated strategies and trade copiers are permitted. However, hedging, abusive high-frequency trading and microscalping are prohibited. Simulated accounts must normally close all positions by 4:45 PM Eastern Time and therefore do not support overnight or weekend holding.
