When can I request the first payout on Lucid Trading LucidFlex?

After passing Lucid Trading's LucidFlex evaluation, the Daily Loss Limit on variant allows a first request once you have five separate days at the size's minimum profit, positive net profit and an amount within the request limits. The simulated funded account has no consistency rule, but Lucid's sources differ on what its 50% request limit measures. The dollar amounts depend on the account size.

What makes a day qualify?

There is no fixed wait. Each of the five days must earn at least the amount shown below; positive net profit is also required for the cycle. Merely trading on five days is insufficient. See which profitable days count.

With the Daily Loss Limit on, on-demand requests can use profit made during the current trading session, which runs from 6:00 PM to 3:45 PM ET. The other payout conditions still apply. An account with a hedging violation cannot request during the session.

By size

Every request has a $500 minimum. There is no separate payout buffer. The dollar cap applies to each payout, alongside the unresolved 50% limit: Lucid's article text says 50% of the account balance, while its table says 50% of profit.

Account sizeProfit per qualifying dayRequest capLoss limit at the first request
$25,000At least $100$1,000$25,100
$50,000At least $150$2,000$50,100
$100,000At least $200$2,500$100,100
$150,000At least $250$3,000$150,100

The caps are request amounts. The trader receives a 90% share of payouts and Lucid keeps 10%. Completing the five days does not, by itself, establish an amount that can be requested under both readings of the 50% limit.

What happens at the request?

The loss limit moves to the balance shown in the table at the first request. After a request made during the session, trading pauses until the end of that trading day. The payout amount is deducted once approved.

The five qualifying days must be earned again after every approved payout. After five payouts, the account moves to Lucid's live program.

For the effect on remaining trading room, see a trailing limit that locks at the first payout. Request eligibility comes before approval and payment; see the stages of a payout.

What is not established

The reviewed evidence does not resolve whether the 50% request limit uses the account balance or profit. Those are different amounts, so the dollar cap alone cannot determine the available request. Confirm the applicable basis with Lucid before choosing an amount that depends on the distinction.

Each value exactly as the account pages show it. Its ⓘ opens the conditions, any calculation and the sources.
