Verdict on Lucid Trading

Lucid Trading is a US futures prop firm launched in 2025, paying a 90 % profit split with withdrawals processed in roughly fifteen minutes. Its public data is thin: it stopped showing prices per account size in August 2026, its website blocks automated verification, and the figures third-party comparison sites report contradict each other.

About Lucid Trading

Makes sense for an intraday futures trader already set up on NinjaTrader or Tradovate who wants a high split, zero activation fees and fast withdrawals on $25,000 to $150,000 accounts. Avoid it if you want to know the price before buying, if you hold positions overnight or over the weekend, or if you are uncomfortable with a one-year-old firm whose terms can no longer be checked against its own official source.

Platforms and instruments: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Rithmic, Quantower.

Lucid Trading pros

  • A 90 % split in the trader's favour, reaching 100 % on some payouts, with no activation fee on funded accounts and no monthly subscription.
  • On-demand withdrawals processed in about fifteen minutes according to the firm, on accounts sized $25,000 to $150,000.
  • Drawdown is calculated end of day (EOD trailing) across every range, which is easier to live with than intraday trailing.
  • Five futures platforms: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Rithmic and Quantower, across CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX.
  • News trading and scalping are allowed, Expert Advisors are accepted, and Trustpilot shows 4.4/5 across 5,507 reviews.

Points to consider

  • Public data is incomplete: no prices displayed since August 2026, a site that blocks automated verification, and contradictory third-party sources.
  • No position can stay open past the daily close — no overnight, no weekend — and hedging is not permitted.
  • Allocation is capped at $150,000, with no scaling plan documented beyond that ceiling.
  • Roughly 70 countries are excluded, and the payout methods are not published anywhere.
  • The firm dates from 2025 and its range was already restructured in February 2026 (LucidBlack withdrawn); the 10 % one-star reviews mention account bans and payout delays.
