📊 Being Evaluated for Live
Lucid's risk team continuously monitors trader performance to determine when you're ready to transition to live trading.
Entry Requirements
You enter the live review pool when one or more of the following conditions are met:
- After receiving your final payout (Payout 5) on your plan
- After receiving a significant number of lifetime payouts
- If you have exceptional performance in sim funded
- If you have previously been moved live
⚠️
Important: Payout 5 represents the maximum payout level, not a guaranteed minimum for live eligibility. All live transitions occur at the discretion of the Lucid risk team.
🎯 Transition to Live
How It Works
When you're moved live, here's what happens:
- You receive one live account per eligible funded account
- Each funded account must have received at least one payout to qualify
- After 20 days of live trading, you may combine eligible live accounts into one larger account
💡
Pro Tip: All eligible funded accounts (with at least one payout) are moved when you transition to live. All simulated accounts are closed at this point.
💰 Starting Live Conditions
All live accounts begin with the following features:
- $0 starting balance (you build up from payouts and bonus)
- Daily payouts (request withdrawals every day)
- End-of-day drawdown (no intraday limits)
- No daily loss limit (only EOD max loss matters)
Account Sizes & Limits

Locking the Live MLL
🔒
If you request a live payout before getting over the live drawdown, the Max Loss Limit locks to $0. Plan your first payout carefully!

Example Scenario
Trader with Five $50K Accounts
- Each account starts with $0 balance and $2,000 drawdown
- The trader earns $2,000 in each account
- Lucid releases a $2,000 Live Bonus to each account
- Each account now holds $4,000
- Total live capital across five accounts: $20,000
📌
The bonus may be earned on all accounts moved live on the first trip under the new system. However, traders moved live 2 or more times will not be eligible for the bonus on subsequent sets of accounts. The bonus is not eligible for traders with LucidMaxx status.
⏱️ Cooldown & LucidMaxx
Cooldown Period
Traders who have been moved live may return to purchase a new evaluation after blowing a live account:
- Standard cooldown period: 4 weeks
- Traders who repeatedly blow live accounts due to reckless or "yolo" behavior may be subject to longer cooldowns at the discretion of the risk team
LucidMaxx Status
Select traders may eventually earn LucidMaxx status.
⭐
LucidMaxx traders:
- May purchase the LucidMaxx evaluation
- Receive access to daily, uncapped payouts
- Get instant live capital
❓ Common Questions
Do all funded accounts move live at once?
Yes. All eligible funded accounts (with at least one payout) are moved when a trader transitions to live.
What happens to remaining simulated accounts?
All simulated accounts are closed when a trader is moved live. If you are not comfortable with that, do not keep accounts in reserve.
If I am live, can someone in my household still trade sim?
No. If one household member is trading live, others may not trade simulated accounts.
Can I hedge my live accounts?
🚫
Absolutely not. Hedging live accounts is strictly prohibited by both Lucid and the CME. Violations will result in a permanent ban.
