Before paying for a Lucid reset, compare the reset total in your dashboard with a new evaluation at checkout. Match the account type, size, platform and risk settings, then include any discount the checkout actually accepts. The lower total identifies the cheaper way to restart that configuration.
Lucid's account-fee policy confirms that a failed evaluation can be reset for a payment through the trader dashboard. It does not provide a current price matrix. The rules below were checked on October 10, 2026; account-specific dashboard and checkout prices were not verified.
Compare the two totals for the same account
Open the failed evaluation in your dashboard and note the reset total. In a separate checkout, select the equivalent new evaluation. Check these fields before comparing the amounts:
| Match this | What to check |
|---|---|
| Product and phase | Compare an evaluation reset with the same evaluation product. A straight-to-funded purchase is a different route. |
| Account size | Use the same nominal account size on both sides. |
| Platform | Select the platform you intend to use. A cheaper account on another connection may not suit your setup. |
| Risk settings | Match the available drawdown and Daily Loss Limit options. LucidDaily settings affect its purchase price. |
| Final amount | Use the amount payable after any accepted coupon and any additional charge shown on each order. |
Enter those two totals below. The comparison uses your inputs; it does not fetch Lucid prices or check whether your account is eligible for a reset.
Enter both current totals in USD.
If the reset costs less, it saves the difference on this attempt. If the new evaluation costs less, buying new saves the difference. If the totals are equal, price gives you no reason to prefer either route. Check availability and any account-specific conditions before paying.
A published coupon percentage is not enough to make this decision. Use it only if the checkout accepts it for the selected product. Apply the same check to a free-reset offer or account credit: count the saving only when it is available for this account.
What a Lucid evaluation reset changes
A reset returns a failed evaluation to its starting balance and risk parameters. Your previous progress toward the profit target does not carry forward as a higher starting balance. The published fee policy says resets are neither automatic nor free.
Lucid documents a one-time evaluation fee without monthly rebilling for LucidFlex, LucidPro and LucidDaily. A failed attempt therefore does not reset through a monthly renewal.
The fee policy does not specify a universal reset deadline, completion time or promise that platform credentials remain unchanged. If any of those affects your next session, check the information shown for your account or confirm it with Lucid support before purchase.
LucidDaily: keep the configuration in the comparison
LucidDaily lets you select evaluation drawdown and a Daily Loss Limit when buying the account. Lucid's customization guide says intraday evaluation drawdown costs less than end-of-day drawdown, and enabling the DLL lowers the evaluation purchase price.
That makes a size-only comparison incomplete. A new Daily evaluation with a DLL and intraday drawdown can have different terms from the account you are considering resetting. Match both settings before treating the price difference as a saving.
The same guide says an active account's configuration cannot be changed. If you want different settings, you need to buy a new LucidDaily account with those options. Also check the phase: every LucidDaily funded account uses intraday drawdown, including those purchased with end-of-day evaluation drawdown.
Funded accounts, Direct and Maxx need a separate check
The general reset policy describes failed evaluation accounts. Do not treat an evaluation-reset quote as an offer to restore a breached funded account. Check the product and phase shown in the dashboard before using the comparison.
LucidDirect is a simulated straight-to-funded product with no evaluation phase. The evaluation-reset policy does not establish a reset entitlement for Direct. If your Direct account has failed, confirm the options for that specific account with Lucid before paying for a replacement or switching to an evaluation.
Lucid retired the old LucidMaxx tiered price schedule on October 4, 2026. Its historical statement that resets and evaluations cost the same should not be used as a current quote.
The current Maxx program has evaluation and pre-live stages before live funding. It also allows existing Maxx accounts to be traded and reset alongside an active live account, while prohibiting a new Maxx purchase during that time. Check those eligibility conditions before comparing prices.
Check the breach before buying another attempt
Write down the breached rule, the trade or position that caused it, and what you would change on the next attempt. If the same position size or trading behavior would breach the same limit again, a lower restart price does not solve that problem.
Set the amount you are willing to spend on another attempt before choosing the payment route. Money already spent and progress before the breach do not reduce the next order's total. Use the matched prices to decide how to restart only after deciding that another attempt fits that budget.
