Commission Schedules
These commission schedules show the per-side or round-trip trading costs, including exchange-style fees, used to mimic what trading the same futures contracts would cost in a regular cash brokerage account.
Lucid publishes a per-side commission schedule by futures symbol and exchange. These are trading commissions, not Lucid evaluation or reset fees.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted if they comply with rules. Custom algorithmic or automated software is allowed, but third-party automated trading software is not allowed. HFT, microscalping, and strategies that exploit errors or use ultra-high speed are prohibited.
Custom algorithmic software and trade copiers are permitted when compliant with firm rules. Third-party automated trading software is not permitted. Prohibited conduct includes high-frequency trading patterns, microscalping behavior, ultra-high-speed/system exploitation, and any abusive or manipulative activity.
Copy Trading
Not allowed
Trade copiers are permitted under Lucid rules, but the trader remains responsible for compliance and outcomes. Shared/abusive strategy behavior that violates platform rules is prohibited.
Microscalping Policy
Microscalping and HFT are prohibited; minimum trade duration is 10 seconds.
Bots Policy
Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted, but all automated activity must comply with Lucid rules. High-frequency trading is prohibited and repeated violations can lead to account closure.
DCA Policy
Scaling into positions and DCA are allowed. Lucid does not impose entry-method limits, but martingaling is strongly discouraged as unsustainable risk behavior.
Allowed Trading Hours
LucidPro, LucidFlex, and LucidDirect positions must be closed by 4:45 PM EST Monday-Friday. Trading resumes at 6:00 PM EST Sunday-Thursday.
Move to Live Criteria
Funding: Only 5 days with $150+ required for payout. Traders must have a positive net profit (even just $1) during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. Minimum payout request: $500. Maximum payout request 50% of Profit up to $2,000. Traders may take up to 6 payouts from each LucidFlex account before they are moved to live status.
Other: The simulated profits from your LucidFlex account are used to calculate your starting LucidLive balance. There is a $5,000 move to live cap for each LucidFlex account, regardless of account size.
Other: All profits move to live account. Low commissions!
Rule Enforcement Notes
***Important: If you take a trade before your payout is processed that drops your balance below the required amount, your request may be denied.
Refund Policy
Generally no refunds after trading activity begins. Limited discretionary refunds may be considered when no trades were placed and policy conditions are met.
Activation Fee Policy
No activation fee for LucidPro Evaluation accounts transitioning to LucidPro Funded accounts, per current support documentation.
VPN Policy
VPN policy is not explicitly published by this firm. In general, prop firms often restrict or closely monitor VPN/proxy/VPS usage because of KYC and compliance obligations, sanctions screening, fraud prevention, account-sharing detection, and risk controls tied to IP/geolocation consistency. Using location-masking tools can trigger security reviews, payout holds, or account action. Before trading with a VPN, confirm your exact setup with firm support in writing (especially when traveling or changing regions).
