A Lucid 50K account starts with a $2,000 trailing loss allowance. The operating rules depend on the plan, the phase and the options bought at checkout. Before trading, identify those three things in the dashboard: a Flex evaluation, a funded Pro account and a funded Daily account do not have the same payout or drawdown rules.
The figures below cover current 50K Flex, Pro, Daily and Direct accounts. They come from Lucid's Help Center, checked on October 11, 2026. Earlier account agreements can differ; the Lucid Trading review includes the documented personal tests.
50K rules by plan and phase
| Rule | LucidFlex | LucidPro | LucidDaily | LucidDirect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation profit target | $3,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | No evaluation |
| Initial MLL allowance | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Drawdown calculation | EOD in both phases | EOD in both phases | Eval: EOD or intraday; funded: intraday | EOD |
| Daily Loss Limit | ON/OFF at purchase | ON/OFF at purchase | ON/OFF at purchase | $1,200 initially; LucidScale after the threshold |
| Evaluation consistency | 50%, with Lucid's calculation cushion | None | 50%, with Lucid's calculation cushion | Not applicable |
| Funded payout consistency | None | 40% | None | 20% |
| Maximum position | Eval: 4 minis/40 micros; funded scales from 2 minis/20 micros | 4 minis/40 micros | 4 minis/40 micros | 4 minis/40 micros |
LucidPro permits a one-day evaluation pass when all objectives are met. Flex and Daily's evaluation consistency rules prevent treating one large winning day as a completed evaluation. Direct starts in simulated funding; buying it does not start a live brokerage account.

Check the purchased DLL setting
Flex, Pro and Daily each offer DLL ON or OFF. Lucid's customization pages say ON lowers the evaluation purchase price and OFF raises it. The selection applies to evaluation and funded phases and cannot be changed on an active account. A generic statement that Flex has no DLL or Pro always has one is therefore incomplete.
For a 50K Pro account with DLL enabled, the evaluation limit is $1,200. Funded Pro starts at the same amount and moves to LucidScale after closing above $52,100. Direct also starts at $1,200 and uses that scaling threshold. LucidScale is 60% of the highest end-of-day account profit and does not decrease: a $3,000 peak EOD profit gives a $1,800 DLL.
A DLL hit stops trading until the next session, provided the MLL has not also been reached. Reaching the MLL breaches the account. DLL OFF leaves the MLL in force; it does not restore losses or increase the remaining distance to that floor.
Check the selected setting and displayed limit before each session. Sources: Flex customization, Pro customization, Daily customization, and the Pro and Direct DLL rules.
The loss allowance can be smaller than $2,000
The $50,000 account label is the starting balance. For an EOD 50K account, the initial failure floor is $48,000. As the highest closing balance rises, the floor follows until it locks at $50,100. The $2,000 figure describes the initial trailing allowance; it is not a fresh amount available after every losing session.
Hypothetical EOD example, before any payout:
- The account closes at $51,200. Its MLL floor rises to $49,200.
- The following session closes at $50,800. The floor stays at $49,200 because the closing balance did not set a new high.
- At $49,400 account equity, only $200 remains above that floor. Any enabled DLL is a separate constraint.
EOD describes when the trailing floor moves. An intraday loss can still reach the existing floor and breach the account. On funded Daily, intraday profit can raise the floor during the session, including through unrealized gains. An EOD selection during Daily's evaluation does not carry into its funded phase.
Flex adds a payout condition worth checking before submitting a request: the request automatically moves its MLL to the locked balance, $50,100 at 50K. For example, $51,500 less a hypothetical $750 withdrawal leaves $50,750, only $650 above that floor. This calculation assumes the request otherwise qualifies and excludes subsequent trading. Sources: Flex drawdown and Daily drawdown. The drawdown guide covers the mechanics across sizes.
Position limits and Flex funded scaling
The 50K ceiling is 4 minis or 40 micros. Funded Flex begins below it:
| Funded Flex profit level | Position limit |
|---|---|
| $0–$999 | 2 minis or 20 micros |
| $1,000–$1,999 | 3 minis or 30 micros |
| $2,000 or more | 4 minis or 40 micros |
Lucid updates the permitted tier at the end of the trading day. A withdrawal can bring the account into a lower tier. Check the dashboard after the update and after a payout; the maximum shown in an account advertisement may exceed the limit currently available to a funded Flex account. Source: Flex scaling plan.
A position ceiling is not a sizing recommendation. Use the current distance to MLL, any enabled DLL, the instrument's contract value and the planned stop to calculate exposure. Fees and slippage also consume the remaining allowance.
50K payout requirements
All four current plans have a $500 minimum request and a 90/10 split. Eligibility must still hold when Lucid reviews the request. The table lists simulated-account requirements, not an expected income or payout schedule.
| Plan | Eligibility at 50K | Request limit |
|---|---|---|
| Flex | Five separate days with at least $150 profit each; positive net cycle profit; no funded consistency rule | 50% of profit, capped at $2,000 |
| Pro | At least $500 cycle profit; best day at most 40% of cycle profit; withdrawal must leave the $52,100 buffer | $2,000 for request 1; $2,500 for requests 2+ |
| Daily | Positive net profit since the previous payout; withdrawal must leave the $52,100 buffer | Available profit above the buffer |
| Direct | $3,000 cycle profit for request 1, then $2,500; best day at most 20% of cycle profit | $2,000 for requests 1–3; $2,500 for requests 4–5 |
Each plan's payout article allows requests when the conditions are met, without a fixed payout window. Pro's source does not establish a three-calendar-day waiting rule. General Pro and Direct overview pages say there are no simulated payout caps, but their dedicated payout tables publish the caps above. Those specific tables are the source for this guide.
Sources: Flex payouts, Pro payouts, Daily payouts and Direct payout objectives. Older Pro accounts can have grandfathered terms; see the payout guide before applying the current table to one.
Calculate the eligible amount before applying the split
On Pro, a $53,000 balance leaves $900 above the $52,100 buffer. Even though the first-request cap is $2,000, that balance cannot support a $2,000 request. The published minimum balances are $52,600 for a $500 request, $54,100 for the full first-request cap and $54,600 for the later $2,500 cap. Cycle profit and consistency still have to qualify.
For a separate consistency example, a $1,200 best day requires at least $3,000 cycle profit at Pro's 40% threshold, or $6,000 at Direct's 20% threshold. This is arithmetic, not a trading target. After an eligible request is established, the current 90/10 split means a $500 request allocates $450 to the trader before any payment-provider charges.
Daily's funded news window and live trigger
Funded LucidDaily prohibits holding or opening positions from one minute before until one minute after a news event when both labels apply: High impact and USD currency. Lucid calls this a hard breach. The restriction is published on the funded Daily account page. The other rules for the relevant account remain in force.
The 50K Daily payout page sets maximum simulated daily profit at $8,000 and says reaching or exceeding it triggers a live move. The separate live policy puts transitions under risk-team review. Treat it as a transition trigger, not a profit target to chase or a promise of an immediately available live account.
When the account reaches live review
Flex, Pro and Direct can reach the highest simulated payout level at payout five. Lucid's live policy makes the transition discretionary and allows earlier review. Daily follows its own performance-based process. These rules do not produce a reliable calendar estimate for moving live.
Live accounts have their own drawdown, contract scaling and payout requirements. Do not carry the simulated 4-mini limit into a new live account without checking its allocation. The current bonus conditions and the separate LucidMaxx route are maintained in the live-transition guide.
Before buying or resetting a 50K
Compare the exact configuration in the checkout: account type, DLL selection, Daily's evaluation drawdown option, feed and final price. A lower advertised price can refer to a different configuration. For an existing failed evaluation, compare its available reset with a new account on the same terms; the reset-cost guide explains that decision.
LucidBlack is a legacy product. If an existing account still says Black, use its agreement and the legacy Black comparison. A current Pro or Flex table is not evidence that Lucid migrated an older account.
Before the first order, record the account phase, current MLL floor, enabled DLL and permitted position size. Before a payout, repeat those checks using the balance that would remain after the request.
