Lucid TradingLucid Trading 25K LucidDaily (Intraday Eval): Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Lucid Trading 25K LucidDaily (Intraday Eval) ranks #44 of the 64 25K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 45. Its strongest part is payouts, its weakest is cost.
One try costs $100. The evaluation needs $1,250 on a $1,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 3.5). The funded account needs $1,600 on a $1,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 4.5). Together that is about 1 in 15.6 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $1,557 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,011).
A steady trader making $100 a day gets the first payout after 29 trading days and keeps $4,500 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$1,557 per first payout16
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
