Lucid Trading rules

Whether the funded account trades simulated capital, live capital, or simulated capital first and live capital later.

The trading platforms and data connections the account can be traded on.

What the account may trade: the exchanges or product list, and any products excluded.

How many micro contracts count as one E-mini toward a contract limit.

When the firm's trading day begins. A trade after this time counts toward the next trading day for every daily rule: daily loss, consistency, winning days and minimum days.

The firm's trading day as it states it, from its open to its close, with the time zone it uses.

What makes a day count toward minimum trading days: any day with a trade, or only a day with at least a set profit.

The profit a day must make to count as a trading day, when a trading day counts only with a minimum profit; null when any day with a trade counts.

What happens when the daily loss limit is reached: trading stops for the day and the account stays open, or the account fails; null when there is no daily loss limit.

Where the trailing floor stops rising when that depends on the platform the account trades on: one row per platform.

Trading days needed before the evaluation can pass; null when there is no minimum.

Days that must each make at least a set profit before the evaluation can pass; null when not required.

Calendar days the evaluation may run before it expires; null when it has no time limit.

A contract limit that grows with profit: a starting number of contracts, plus one for every set amount of profit at the start of the day; null when the limit is fixed.

Whether the evaluation passes the moment the target is reached or at the day's close.

A trailing floor stops rising once it reaches the funded starting balance plus this amount; 0 means it stops at the funded starting balance.

What the trailing drawdown follows on the funded account: the balance, or gross profit with payouts added back (so a payout uses up the cushion instead of lowering the trail).

A contract limit that grows with profit: a starting number of contracts, plus one for every set amount of profit at the start of the day; null when the limit is fixed.

Calendar days needed since the last payout (since funding, for the first) before a payout can be requested; null when there is no such rule.

Where the profit counted toward a payout is measured from: the last payout, or the start of the funded account.

The smallest payout the firm will process in one request; null when there is no minimum.

A payout may be at most this share of the account balance; null when there is no such cap.

A payout may be at most this multiple of the profit made since the last payout; null when there is no such cap.

The trader's share of each payout. When the share depends on profit, this is the share most payouts get and payouts.profit_split_tiers holds the rule.

A profit split that depends on the profit left in the account: each row's share applies to the part of a payout above its level; null when the split is flat.

Business days the firm takes to send a payout once it is approved.

Whether the simulated evaluation fee is the firm's list price or the standing promotional price its pages show.

Whether the evaluation is paid once, or billed again every period while it is open.

Charged again every period while the evaluation is open; null when the evaluation fee is paid once.

How often the recurring fee is charged; null when there is no recurring fee.

Limits and terms on resets: how many are allowed in a period, whether a promotion applies, whether a reset moves the billing date.

Charged once when the account becomes funded; 0 when there is none.

A version of the plan sold at a different price with no activation fee, with its prices.

A fee charged every month while the funded account is open; null when there is none.

True when the firm refunds the evaluation fee with the first payout.

The commissions the firm sets per contract, by contract size.

Whether bots, automated strategies and algorithmic execution may trade the account. Not allowed means a strategy tested on AlgoLift can only be traded there by hand.

Whether opposite positions in the same or related instruments may be held at once, in one account or across accounts.

Whether trades may be copied between accounts: allowed, only between the trader's own accounts at the firm, or not allowed.

The most accounts of any kind a trader may hold at once; null when there is no limit.

The most evaluations a trader may hold at once (or buy in a month, when the firm says so in the note); null when there is no limit.

The most funded accounts a trader may hold at once; null when there is no limit.

The most live accounts a trader may hold at once; null when there is no limit.

The shortest time a trade may be held, when the firm restricts very short trades; null when there is no such rule.

Trading practices the firm forbids (for example exploiting data delays, coordinated trading, or holding to avoid the rules), as it lists them.

Consecutive calendar days without a trade after which the firm may close the account; null when there is no such rule.

Any other activity the firm requires to keep the account open (a trade every week, qualifying days in a rolling window), as it states it.

When the firm checks the trader's identity: before purchase, before funding, or before the first payout.

What the firm does when a rule is broken (a soft breach that pauses the day, a hard breach that closes the account, profits withheld), as it states it.

Decisions the firm reserves to itself (reviews before a payout or a live move, closing accounts it judges to break the spirit of the rules).
