Lucid Trading Restructures Live Program, Launches LucidMaxx Daily Payout Account

Lucid Trading, a proprietary trading evaluation firm, announced a comprehensive restructuring of its Live Program and the launch of a new product, the LucidMaxx Daily Payout Account, on March 3, 2026. The changes aim to streamline onboarding, standardize risk parameters, and refine payout mechanics based on trader feedback.

The updated Live Program shifts to a $0 starting balance model with an End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown framework, a structure common in the prop trading evaluation sector. The company states this move reduces onboarding delays, simplifies performance monitoring, and improves administrative scalability. The new terms apply to newly purchased or reset accounts; existing accounts continue under their current rules.

Under the revised Live structure, traders who reach the Live performance target for the first time receive a one-time bonus equal to that target amount, subject to program terms and conditions. Additional operational changes include automatic Live transition eligibility at the fifth payout milestone, discretionary early promotion based on lifetime performance, and a reduction of the onboarding backlog to roughly two weeks. Traders currently in a cooldown period are expected to become eligible again under the new system in April.

LucidMaxx and LucidPro Updates

The newly launched LucidMaxx Daily Payout Account is designed for traders with consistent performance. Key features include daily payout eligibility with no stated cap, up to five accounts per trader, an EOD drawdown model with no intraday trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit, and immediate live capital allocation. Qualification for LucidMaxx depends on internal criteria set by the firm.

Lucid Trading also consolidated previous evaluation structures into a revised LucidPro model, which now offers a one-day pass evaluation, no minimum profit day requirements, payout eligibility every three days, and adjusted profit thresholds between payout cycles. The company noted that some legacy reset structures will be discontinued.

Direct funding products were also refined: minimum trading day requirements were removed, a 100K Direct account option was added, pricing on select account sizes was adjusted, and the maximum loss limit on the 150K account was reduced.
