Prop firm

Lucid Trading review

Educational only — not financial or investment advice.

A futures prop firm (founded 2025) with a cleaner rule set than most: end-of-day trailing drawdown instead of intraday, a 90/10 profit split, and unusually fast payout processing. Evaluation (LucidPro, LucidFlex) and instant-funded (LucidDirect) routes exist, and automated systems are permitted within the rules — HFT is not. The prop-firm reality still applies in full: the challenge is the product, and the fee is money you can lose.

What it does

Pros & cons

Pros

  • End-of-day trailing drawdown is far kinder to strategy variance than the intraday trailing most futures firms use
  • Automated systems and trade copiers are explicitly permitted within the rules
  • Fast payout processing and a simple 90/10 split once funded

Cons

  • Futures only — no forex/CFD accounts, and platform choice is tied to its CQG/Rithmic connections
  • Founded in 2025, so the track record is short and rules are still evolving
  • The core prop-firm reality applies: most participants fail the evaluation and forfeit the fee, and HFT/micro-scalping triggers enforcement
