Evaluation & risk

Opening loss allowance

Opening loss allowance: $2,000

How this is calculated. Opening balance minus the opening total-loss floor.

opening balance: $50,000
opening total-loss floor: $48,000
Result: $2,000

Daily loss limits and any trailing of the floor after the opening are separate rules.

Official sources: Lucid Trading · LucidDaily Evaluation (checked 16 October 2026); Lucid Trading · Plan selector (homepage) (checked 16 October 2026); Lucid Trading · LucidDaily Drawdown (checked 16 October 2026).

About this rule. How much the account can lose from its opening balance before the total-loss rule is broken, using the smallest allowance across the required evaluation phases. An account bought without an evaluation uses its funded account's allowance. It is not daily headroom, live capital or a pass probability.

Compare this rule across accounts

Read the guide: How do you calculate the opening loss allowance?

Difficulty ratio

Difficulty ratio: 1.50

How this is calculated. For each required evaluation phase, the profit target divided by that phase's opening loss allowance. The results are added.

profit target: 6% of $50,000 = $3,000
opening loss allowance: $2,000
Result: 1.50

This describes the shape of the evaluation; it is not a pass probability.

Official sources: Lucid Trading · LucidDaily Evaluation (checked 16 October 2026); Lucid Trading · Plan selector (homepage) (checked 16 October 2026); Lucid Trading · LucidDaily Drawdown (checked 16 October 2026).

About this rule. Each required phase's profit target divided by that phase's opening loss allowance, added together. More target per dollar of allowed loss gives a higher number; an account bought without an evaluation has no target, so its ratio is 0. It describes the shape of the evaluation, not the chance of passing.

Evaluation route

Evaluation route: LucidDaily $50,000 with the Daily Loss Limit off, chosen at purchase, and an end-of-day evaluation drawdown: an evaluation, then a simulated funded account. With the limit on, Lucid's price is lower; the plan card's price is the one with it off. Read on Tradovate; every Lucid account works on every listed platform.

Loss mechanics

Loss mechanics: A $2,000 trailing max loss limit, end-of-day in the evaluation and intraday (moving with real-time profit and loss) on the funded account: it starts at $48,000 and locks at $50,100 once the balance exceeds $52,100. Reaching it breaches the account.
