Live Funded
Live-Funded
Overview:
Lucid reviews funded traders for live trading after the final payout on the plan, after significant lifetime payouts, for exceptional simulated funded performance, or if the trader has previously been moved live. All live transitions remain discretionary. Each live account starts with $0 starting balance, daily payouts, end-of-day drawdown, and no daily loss limit. For this 150,000 plan size, Lucid publishes a starting live drawdown of $4,500 and a maximum live contract limit of 10 minis or 100 micros. Each funded account must have received at least one payout to qualify, and after 20 days of live trading eligible live accounts may be combined into one larger account.

General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Lucid permits automated trading systems and trade copiers, but all automated activity must comply with firm rules. Genuine scalping and news trading are allowed, while hedging, microscalping, and high-frequency trading are prohibited.
Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted, but traders remain fully responsible for software errors or unintended outcomes. Lucid prohibits hedging across accounts or correlated assets, flags microscalping when more than 50% of profits come from trades held 5 seconds or less, and uses automated detection for high-frequency trading.
Copy Trading
Trade copiers are permitted at Lucid as long as all activity complies with firm rules. Traders remain fully responsible for copier behavior, and copier use does not exempt any account from prohibited practices such as hedging, microscalping, or other system manipulation.
Business Entity Accounts
Allowed
Microscalping Policy
Microscalping and HFT are prohibited; minimum trade duration is 10 seconds.
Bots Policy
Automated trading systems are permitted at Lucid, but they must comply with all firm rules and traders are responsible for any software malfunctions or unintended outcomes.
Allowed Trading Hours
LucidPro, LucidFlex, and LucidDirect accounts must close all positions by 4:45 PM EST Monday through Friday, and trading resumes at 6:00 PM EST Sunday through Thursday. On market holidays with altered closes, positions must be closed before the market close. LucidLive accounts may hold overnight and through the maintenance window if overnight margin requirements are met.
Weekend Holding Policy
Not allowed. This seems standard for futures-oriented prop firms.
Move to Live Criteria
Lucid’s risk team continuously reviews funded traders for live trading. Traders enter the live review pool after the final payout on their plan, after significant lifetime payouts, if they show exceptional simulated funded performance, or if they have previously been moved live. All live transitions are discretionary, and each funded account must have received at least one payout to qualify for a live account when moved.
Rule Enforcement Notes
Lucid uses automated risk systems to detect prohibited activity such as hedging, microscalping, and high-frequency trading. Daily loss limit breaches are treated as soft breaches if the max loss limit is not hit, and payout requests may be denied if traders continue trading and drop the balance below the required threshold before processing.
Refund Policy
Lucid states that no refunds are available once any trading activity begins. Refunds may be considered only at the company’s discretion for accounts that have never been traded, and improper chargebacks may lead to permanent suspension.
Activation Fee Policy
LucidPro and LucidFlex evaluations do not charge an activation fee to upgrade into funded accounts.
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).

Payout Methods

Traders may request payouts any day after meeting the model-specific eligibility rules, approved payouts are deducted within minutes, and payouts are disbursed within 2 business days. LucidFlex requires 5 profitable days plus positive net profit, LucidPro requires its payout profit goal plus 40% consistency and profit over buffer, and LucidDirect requires its payout profit goals plus 20% consistency.

HEADS UP: Prop firms change their plans and rules all the time, and tracking it all sometimes seems impossible. We try to stay current but can't guarantee every detail is up to date. See something wrong? Let us know!
Note:
- While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, Happy Dog Trading is not liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the data presented. Prop firms are constantly changing plans, rules, and prices -- and we work hard to keep up -- but there is always the chance information could be temporarily out of sync. Therefore, users should verify all information directly with the respective firm as the authoritative source of truth before making any decisions. We provide links to source urls to assist you in double-checking information at the prop firm itself. If you see changes we have missed, please let us know.

Risk & Affiliate Disclosure
Please manage risk carefully when using any prop firm. Trading involves substantial risk, and you can lose part or all of the money you spend on evaluations, subscriptions, or related services. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose.
Prop firm terms, payout policies, and account rules can change at any time, including updates that affect existing accounts. Always confirm current terms directly on the firm's official site before purchasing.
