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

Lucid Trading's LucidPro with the Daily Loss Limit on allows a first payout request on any day once its cycle-profit goal, retained buffer, applicable consistency rule and request limits are met. These are the simulated funded-account rules after the evaluation. The dollar amounts depend on size. There is no fixed wait, and Lucid's sources differ about payout caps.

Does 'Days to Payout 3' mean a three-day wait?

The plan card says 'Days to Payout 3'. The 40% consistency rule requires profit on at least three days; three calendar days passing does not establish eligibility.

For accounts bought or reset on or after 28 November 2025, the largest day's profit must be no more than 40% of profit in the payout cycle. For accounts bought or reset before that date, the threshold is 35%. The cycle-profit goal and retained buffer must also be met. See why the consistency denominator matters.

With the Daily Loss Limit on, a request can use profit made in the current trading session, from 6:00 PM to 3:45 PM ET, once the criteria are met. This on-demand feature does not remove the cycle requirements.

By size

The buffer below is a full account balance to retain, not an amount that can be paid out. Each request must be at least $500. The listed first-request caps are qualified by the source disagreement immediately below the table.

Account sizeProfit goal per cycleBuffer balance to retainListed first-request cap
$25,000$250$26,100$1,000
$50,000$500$52,100$2,000
$100,000$750$103,100$2,500
$150,000$1,000$154,600$3,000

Sources differ: Lucid lists these caps, with higher caps for later requests, but its funded-account page also says 'No simulated payout caps'. The reviewed evidence preserves both statements; the listed cap is not an unqualified conclusion about the amount Lucid will allow.

On the $25,000 account, the $250 cycle-profit goal is below the $500 minimum request. Meeting that goal alone does not establish enough withdrawable profit while retaining the buffer. The goal, minimum request and buffer are separate conditions.

The trader's share is 90% of payouts; Lucid keeps 10%. The request cap and that share are separate steps.

What happens at the request?

Trade as though the requested amount has already been removed. After an in-session request, trading pauses until the end of the trading day. The profit goal and consistency period start again after the payout. After five payouts, the account moves to Lucid's live program.

Meeting the request conditions comes before approval and payment; see the stages of a payout.

What is not established

The listed dollar caps and 'No simulated payout caps' wording are inconsistent. Confirm which limit governs the account before relying on either an uncapped request or a particular cap. The disagreement does not remove the separately stated cycle-profit goal, retained buffer, minimum request or consistency requirement.

The plan card gives "Days to Payout 3"; the 40% consistency rule needs profit on at least three days.
