Which Should You Choose?
Choose Lucid Trading if...
- you want the lowest possible cost to get started

- Both offer a daily payout option.
- Neither enforces a consistency rule once you're funded.
Quick Take
Take Profit Trader
- Day-one withdrawals once you reach PRO status, paid daily with no caps
- No consistency rule and no daily loss limit at all once you're PRO or PRO+ — only the Test carries one
- PRO+ (90/10 split, end-of-day drawdown, no buffer) is a discretionary, performance-based upgrade — you can't purchase it directly
Lucid Trading
- Four separate paths to funding — LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily, and LucidDirect — each with its own price and rules
- Free account activation fee on every track — no separate charge once you pass
- 40% consistency rule applies on LucidPro funded accounts (LucidDirect is looser at 20%)
