Lucid Trading Plans Compared (2026): LucidDaily vs LucidPro vs LucidFlex vs LucidDirect — Which One To Buy

The four plans in one paragraph each

LucidDaily — one-phase evaluation, choose End-of-Day or Intraday drawdown for the evaluation, funded account always Intraday trailing, no consistency rule once funded, withdraw any green day, flat around US red-folder news (the only Lucid plan with a news rule). Highest-rated configuration in the range: EOD + daily loss limit on, 8.8/10.

LucidPro — the flagship: End-of-Day drawdown in the evaluation *and* the funded account, no consistency rule and no minimum days to pass, a 40% consistency rule per payout cycle once funded, per-size profit goals and payout caps that grow by $500 from the second payout, LucidScale daily limit if bought on. 8.4/10.

LucidFlex — the cheapest Lucid account: End-of-Day drawdown at both stages, a 50% consistency rule in the evaluation, then no consistency rule and no buffer once funded — payouts need five profitable days and are capped at 50% of profit up to a fixed per-size cap; a scaling plan grows your size with profit. 8.4/10.

LucidDirect — no evaluation: buy the sim-funded account (one-time, no resets), full size from day one, End-of-Day lock, a 20% consistency rule and a five-day minimum per payout cycle, cycle profit goals before each payout. Funded-account pricing makes it the lowest-rated plan: 5.9/10.

Where they differ: the rules that decide payouts

Drawdown once funded. Daily: Intraday trailing. Pro, Flex and Direct: End-of-Day, locking $100 above the starting balance once you have banked the max loss limit plus $100 (Direct: once you close above the initial trail balance).

Consistency. Daily: 50% in the evaluation, none once funded. Pro: none in the evaluation, 40% per payout cycle once funded. Flex: 50% in the evaluation, none once funded. Direct: 20% per payout cycle, always (no evaluation).

Payout conditions. Daily: balance above the buffer + net profit since the last payout, any day, no cap. Pro: cycle profit goal + 40% consistency + buffer, first payout capped per size, caps grow by $500 per payout. Flex: five profitable days above the minimum daily profit + positive cycle profit, capped at 50% of profit up to a fixed per-size cap, five payouts then live. Direct: cycle profit goal + 20% consistency + five trading days, capped per size, five payouts then live.

News. Only LucidDaily requires you to be flat around US red-folder releases. Position size. Full size from day one on Daily, Pro and Direct; a profit-based scaling plan on Flex. Daily loss limit. A checkout switch on Daily, Pro and Flex (cheaper on); fixed then LucidScale on Direct 50K–150K, none on the Direct 25K.

Which Lucid plan should you buy?

You want to withdraw every green day and can trade an Intraday trailing drawdown once funded → LucidDaily (End-of-Day for the evaluation, daily loss limit on, is the best-rated configuration).

You want End-of-Day drawdown at every stage and want to pass fast → LucidPro; accept the 40% consistency rule between payouts.

You want the lowest price with End-of-Day drawdown and the simplest funded rules → LucidFlex; plan for five profitable days between payouts and fixed caps.

You do not want to take an evaluation at all and can hold a 20% consistency rule for five-day cycles → LucidDirect, knowing you pay three to four times more per dollar of buffer than the evaluations.
