Lucid TradingLucid Trading 25K LucidFlex: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Lucid Trading 25K LucidFlex ranks #2 of the 64 25K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 78. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is rule stability.
One try costs $79. The evaluation needs $1,250 on a $1,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.7). The funded account needs $500 on a $1,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 1.6). Together that is about 1 in 4.3 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $338 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,011).
A steady trader making $100 a day gets the first payout after 18 trading days and keeps $4,950 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$338 per first payout95
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.
