Lucid's consistency percentage is the largest profitable trading day divided by profit for the relevant evaluation or payout cycle. Flex and Daily apply 50% during evaluation and remove the test when funded. Pro applies 40% to current funded payout cycles; Direct applies 20%. Maxx has a 40% evaluation followed by Pre-Live without a consistency rule.
Exceeding the applicable ratio holds up the upgrade or payout until the requirement is met. Further trading still has to stay within the account's loss limits and other rules. I have traded Flex and Pro; the percentages and examples below follow Lucid's published policies.
Match the percentage to the account phase
| Account | Evaluation | Simulated funded or Pre-Live | Live |
|---|---|---|---|
| LucidFlex | 50%, with a variable cushion | No consistency rule | No consistency rule |
| LucidPro | No consistency rule | 40% per payout cycle; 35% for the older cohort | No consistency rule |
| LucidDaily | 50%, with a variable cushion | No consistency rule | No consistency rule |
| LucidDirect | No evaluation | 20% per payout cycle | No consistency rule |
| LucidMaxx | 40% in Step 1 | No consistency rule in Step 2, Pre-Live | No consistency rule |
The product sections below link to the corresponding primary rules. Lucid's live policy removes consistency after a standard live transition. That change does not remove the separate live loss limits or bonus requirements.
Calculate the ratio using the right profit period
Consistency percentage = largest single-day profit ÷ total net trading profit for the applicable period × 100.
For Flex and Daily evaluations, use profit accumulated in that evaluation. For Pro and Direct funded accounts, use the current payout cycle. Their cycle calculation resets after an approved payout. The nominal account size and profits from a previous completed cycle are not the denominator.
For example, a $1,200 best day in a cycle with $3,000 net profit is 40%. That meets the current Pro consistency threshold. It exceeds Direct's 20% threshold. The same dollar result has a different outcome under the two rule sets.
Use the daily figures recorded for that account. The examples here assume completed trading days, results after trading fees and no other gains or losses. They illustrate the percentage calculation; other passing or payout conditions still apply.
Losing days reduce the denominator
Suppose a Flex evaluation has $2,200 net profit and a best day of $900. Its ratio is 40.9%. Losing another $800 reduces total profit to $1,400 while the best day remains $900. The ratio rises to 64.3%, above the evaluation threshold.
A zero-profit day leaves that ratio unchanged. A later profitable day can lower it, but if that day becomes the new largest day, recalculate both parts. At zero or negative total profit, the division does not establish eligibility.
Work out how much total profit the best day requires
For the strict percentage threshold, divide the best-day profit by the limit expressed as a decimal. Assuming the best day stays at $1,200:
| Threshold | Calculation | Minimum total profit for this ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 50% | $1,200 ÷ 0.50 | $2,400 |
| 40% | $1,200 ÷ 0.40 | $3,000 |
| 35% | $1,200 ÷ 0.35 | $3,428.58, rounded up to cents |
| 20% | $1,200 ÷ 0.20 | $6,000 |
These are consistency amounts. An evaluation target, payout profit goal, buffer or minimum request can require more. The Flex/Daily cushion is handled separately below. If the best day increases, the total needed in this table increases too.
Flex: 50% in evaluation, none when funded
The Flex consistency policy uses actual evaluation profit. A 50K evaluation can be below its $3,000 profit target with a compliant ratio, or above the target with an excessive ratio.
For example, $1,100 as the best day out of $2,400 profit is 45.8%. The percentage fits, but the target is still unmet. A further $1,600 day lifts total profit to $4,000 and becomes the new best day. The ratio is now 40%, and both the target and consistency condition are met.
Funded Flex removes consistency. Its payout requirements instead include five qualifying profitable days, positive cycle profit and the request-amount limits. A single large day does not replace those five qualifying days. See the Flex rules and payout example.
Daily uses the same evaluation threshold and cushion
The Daily consistency policy also uses 50% in evaluation and none in funded trading. Both Flex and Daily publish the following examples for an account that finishes exactly at its profit target:
| Size | Evaluation target | Best day at a strict 50% | Published cushion example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,250 | $625 | $650 |
| 50K | $3,000 | $1,500 | $1,560 |
| 100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $3,120 |
| 150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $4,680 |
Lucid explicitly says the cushion varies with actual results and is not a fixed dollar allowance. The examples support its stated two-day evaluation path, but the displayed $1,560 at 50K should not be used as a universal daily limit at other profit totals.
Funded Daily still requires profit above its payout buffer and positive profit since the last payout. Its drawdown trails intraday. The funded rules also require flat positions from one minute before through one minute after high-impact USD news. Removing consistency does not create an exception to that news window.
Pro: 40% in each current funded payout cycle
Pro has no evaluation consistency rule. Its funded consistency policy sets the current threshold at 40% and preserves 35% for older accounts. Lucid dates the purchase/reset cutoff for that change to November 28, 2025, at 3 p.m. Eastern. Check the percentage assigned to an older account before calculating its next request.
After an approved payout, the next cycle starts a new consistency calculation. A large day from the closed cycle does not carry into the next one. Within the current cycle, losing days reduce net profit and can push the percentage back above the limit.
At either 40% or 35%, at least three profitable days are mathematically necessary: with only two, the larger contributes at least half the net profit, and losses increase that share. Three days alone do not establish compliance; their amounts still need to meet the percentage.
The Pro payout policy permits requests on any day after all conditions are met. It does not state a three-calendar-day waiting period. Its cycle profit goals are $250, $500, $750 and $1,000 for 25K through 150K, with a protected buffer and a $500 minimum request. On a fresh 50K account, for example, the balance must reach at least $52,600 to cover that minimum request above the $52,100 buffer.
Direct: 20% per payout cycle
Direct starts in simulated funded trading and has no evaluation. Its 20% consistency calculation resets after each payout. At least five profitable days are mathematically necessary to meet 20%; flat days do not distribute a large profit across more winning days.
The payout policy also requires a cycle profit goal:
| Size | First cycle goal | Later cycle goal |
|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | $1,250 |
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,500 |
| 100K | $6,000 | $3,500 |
| 150K | $9,000 | $4,500 |
A Direct cycle with two losing days
This hypothetical 25K first cycle contains ten completed trading days. Daily results after fees are +$380, +$420, −$150, +$510, +$290, +$340, +$610, −$80, +$450 and +$330.
Total profit is $3,100. The best day is $610, giving $610 ÷ $3,100 = 19.7%. That meets the 20% consistency test and the first $1,500 cycle goal. The 25K request cap remains $1,000; passing the percentage does not make the full $3,100 withdrawable.
If the $610 day had instead made $650, total profit would be $3,140 and the ratio would be 20.7%. With that best day unchanged, the strict threshold requires $3,250 total profit, another $110. A later day larger than $650 would change the calculation again.
Maxx: distinguish evaluation, Pre-Live and live
The current Maxx program is available by invitation and has two stages before live:
- Step 1, evaluation: 40% consistency plus the profit target. Lucid describes a possible three-day pass.
- Step 2, Pre-Live: a separate profit target with no consistency requirement.
- Live: no consistency requirement, with the separate live drawdown and payout rules.
The live bonus has its own profit and trading-day conditions. Those bonus conditions should not be confused with a best-day consistency percentage. The live-transition guide covers both standard Live and Maxx.
Older Black rules are a separate reference
Lucid's legacy Black documents list 60% evaluation consistency and 40% per funded payout cycle. The cycle reset was already part of Black. Use the Legacy Black comparison for those historical terms.
Before an upgrade or payout request
- Identify the product, phase and any older-account percentage.
- Use the correct evaluation or current-cycle trading results.
- Divide the largest profitable day by total net profit, including losing days.
- If the percentage is too high, calculate the total needed with the current best day and recalculate after each new session.
- Check the remaining requirements: target, qualifying days, buffer, request amount and trading rules.
Keep the calculation separate for each account. The multiple-account guide explains why gains on another account cannot complete this account's payout conditions. The payout guide has the size-specific requirements beyond consistency.
