Quick answer
- LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDirect allow trading during scheduled and unscheduled news.
- LucidDaily funded accounts treat listed high-impact USD event trading from one minute before through one minute after as a hard breach.
- Lucid's public Daily evaluation article does not state the same news rule. Confirm the exact account rather than extending the funded rule by assumption.
“Lucid allows news trading” is incomplete because the product line matters. The practical check is account type, stage, event classification and open-order status.
Permission does not suspend drawdown rules. A legal trade can still fail the account if the fill breaches the loss limit.
Policy table
| Account | Documented policy |
|---|---|
| LucidFlex | Scheduled and unscheduled news allowed |
| LucidPro | Scheduled and unscheduled news allowed |
| LucidDirect | Scheduled and unscheduled news allowed |
| LucidDaily funded | Restricted around listed high-impact USD events |
| LucidDaily evaluation | Confirm with Lucid for the exact account |
LucidDaily funded window
The funded rule requires the account to be flat and have no active orders from one minute before through one minute after the listed high-impact USD event. Lucid describes a breach in that window as a hard breach. Use LucidDaily funded rules for the current event scope.
Compliance checklist
- Confirm the exact account name and whether it is evaluation or funded.
- Use the event source and time zone named by Lucid.
- Cancel working orders before a restricted window.
- Check copied accounts independently.
- Save a written support answer if the help center does not cover your case.
Allowed does not mean protected
Lucid's general policy permits news on Flex, Pro and Direct, but the usual loss and consistency rules remain in force. Size from the current loss room and account for possible slippage.

Recheck: before each high-impact event and whenever Lucid changes a product or funded-stage rule.
