LucidDaily $150K Evaluation — Intraday Drawdown, DLL On
The LucidDaily $150K account is the top of Lucid’s LucidDaily lineup, with a $9,000 profit target, a $4,500 Max Loss Limit, and a fixed $2,700 Daily Loss Limit. Hitting the DLL is a soft breach — you’re paused for the session, not eliminated. This is the intraday-drawdown, DLL-on configuration, which makes it the cheapest of the four $150K LucidDaily setups at $238.20. It’s a one-time fee with no activation cost and no monthly rebilling, and there’s no time limit to pass the evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if I hit the $2,700 Daily Loss Limit?
- It’s a soft breach — you’re locked out of placing new trades until the next trading session, as long as you haven’t also hit the $4,500 Max Loss Limit.
- Can I switch to EOD drawdown or turn off the DLL later?
- No. These settings are locked in at checkout and can’t be changed on an active account. You’d need to purchase a new LucidDaily account with different settings.
- Why does news trading only matter once I’m funded?
- During the evaluation, red-folder USD news doesn’t restrict you. Once you’re funded, holding through that news window becomes a hard breach — you need to be flat 1 minute before and after.
- How is consistency calculated?
- Divide your largest single day’s profit by your total account profit. Keep that at 50% or below and you’re eligible to upgrade to a funded account. There’s a small cushion built in, so it’s possible to pass in as little as two days.
- What’s the fastest way to get funded?
- Hit your $9,000 profit target while staying under the consistency threshold. Activation to a funded account happens in 5–30 minutes after you pass.
