Lucid · Eval playbook
Time spent grinding evaluations is money. You'll often see me drop below five live accounts in a day — and two days later I'm maxed out and funded again across the firms. This is the exact playbook I run on Lucid to make that happen.
below 5 accounts → maxed & funded again in ~2 days · same plan, every time
Evaluations don't pay you. Funded accounts do. So the whole game is getting through the eval phase as fast as cleanly possible and back to extracting. There are only two ways to do that — buy your way past it when the price is right, or pass it fast with a plan. I use both, depending on what's on sale that week.
When the discount is deep enough, skipping the eval entirely is the smarter spend. When it isn't, I'm better off passing the account myself.
If Lucid is running a 40–50% off sale on direct funded accounts, I buy direct and skip the evaluation phase completely — the discount more than covers the convenience, and I'm extracting the same day instead of grinding a target. Outside of those deep sales, the math flips: the direct premium isn't worth it, so I pass evaluations on my own using the strategy below.
Rule of thumb: let the sale decide. Deep discount on fundeds → buy direct. No deep discount → pass it yourself.
Lucid is running a sale right now. Stack my code for the deepest price on evals and direct fundeds alike.
When there's nothing worth buying direct, I go for 50K Lucid Flex evals and run one tight, repeatable plan to clear them in two days.
The strategy is deliberately simple. I risk $800 to make $800 on the first trade — a clean 1:1. If it wins, I take that $800 of profit and put it straight back to work, risking the $800 to make $700 on the second trade. Win both and I'm up $1,500 on the day. I repeat the exact same thing the next day, and the eval is passed.
The protective rule is the whole reason it survives: if the first trade loses, I'm done for the day. No second trade, no revenge, no "making it back." That single rule is what keeps a bad patch of price action from blowing the account — it caps my worst day at one stop and lets me come back tomorrow with a full plan.
Notice the second trade only ever risks profit, not the account. If trade 2 loses, you simply give back the day's gains and end flat — you never dip below where you started. And if trade 1 loses, you're down one $800 stop and out, nowhere near the Flex drawdown. That's how the plan stays alive long enough to work.
At a ~70% win rate, I might blow an account or two along the way — and I'm fine with that, because the third one, run by the plan, lands. This is an aggressive, volume-of-attempts approach. Only run it with eval money you can genuinely afford to lose. That's what "money to burn" actually means.
Here's the full breakdown on video — the entries, the stops, and how the two-day plan plays out live.
This playbook is one piece of it. Inside our mentorship I trade it live, show every entry and stop in real time, and walk you through running it across multiple funded accounts on copy. If you want the full method instead of the highlight reel, this is where it lives.
