Lucid Trading rules

16 rules apply at Lucid Trading whichever account you buy. 4 are conditional, and those are the ones that end accounts, so read the detail. Below them: the platforms, data feeds, hours and the countries it refuses.
  • Varies by line. LucidFlex/LucidDaily eval: 50% or less. LucidMaxx eval: 40%. LucidPro eval: none (no consistency column). LucidDirect: no evaluation phase.

  • Funded consistency

    Conditional

    Varies by line. LucidPro funded: 40% (35% pre-11/28/2025). LucidDirect funded: 20%. LucidFlex/LucidDaily funded: none. Live accounts: none, regardless of type.

  • News trading

    Conditional

    Not allowed on LucidDaily: trading US high-impact red-folder news is a hard breach, must be flat 1 min before/after. Allowed without restriction on LucidPro, LucidFlex and LucidDirect.

  • Swing trading

    Not allowed
  • Yes. Lucid Trading permits trade copiers, along with automated trading systems, on its accounts. You remain responsible for every copied trade and for staying within each account’s drawdown and contract limits.

  • Algorithmic trading

    Allowed

    Yes. Lucid Trading allows automated and algorithmic strategies, including bots you run yourself. High-frequency trading is not allowed, and you remain responsible for every trade your automation places.

  • Scalping

    Conditional

    Genuine scalping is permitted firm-wide with no minimum hold time, but Microscalping is banned: flagged when over 50% of profits come from trades held 5 seconds or less.

    Not allowed
  • VPS use

    Allowed
  • KYC

    Applies

  • An account with no net profit or loss of at least $1 within 30 calendar days is deemed abandoned and permanently deleted. Breached accounts are also deleted after 30 days if not reset.
