United StatesSummary
Launched in 2025, Lucid Trading shook up the futures market with trader-friendly rules: end-of-day drawdown, no daily limit on LucidFlex and payouts paid in 15 minutes on average.
The most modern rules in futures. One to watch closely, bearing its youth in mind.
Overview
Founded by AJ Campanella under Lucid Prop Ltd, Lucid is a US futures-only firm. Young but already very popular, it ranks among the most followed futures firms.
LucidPro or LucidFlex?
LucidPro is the cheapest: $192 for a 50K, $3,000 target, $2,000 end-of-day drawdown and a $1,200 daily limit. Once funded, a 40% consistency rule applies and payouts arrive every 3 days.
LucidFlex removes the daily loss limit, even when funded, and has no consistency rule once funded (50% during evaluation). Withdrawals require 5 profitable days.
Payouts
On LucidPro you keep 100% of the first $10,000 of each withdrawal, then 90%. Payouts are reported at 15 minutes on average, among the fastest in the industry.
