Data-driven comparison · checked Aug 11, 2026
We track 7 Lucid Trading products and 3 from TradeDay that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate, last verified 2026-08-11. Lucid Trading offers USD one-time; TradeDay offers USD monthly at this tier. No currency-and-billing class appears on both sides, so we neither convert currencies nor rank a recurring floor against a fixed total.
Winning value on each row is marked. Ties are flagged. Empty cells mean we don't have that data point yet.
The table above compares the two firms. This one compares the products you actually buy — 10 of them, each with its own price, split, drawdown rule and source date.

Lucid Trading's own products disagree on 11 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on LucidPro and LucidFlex and LucidDaily - DLL On / Intraday and LucidDaily - DLL On / EOD and LucidDaily - DLL Off / Intraday and LucidDaily - DLL Off / EOD, versus instant funding on LucidDirect. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 11 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

An account's open date now changes payout eligibility. Check whether the 45% rule applies before sizing a payout request.
TradeDay disagrees on Fast Pass days and a payout cap
The comparison leaves the minimum-day field unknown and does not choose a disputed 100K cap. Confirm both rules for the exact account before purchase or payout.
LucidDaily launched with 4 configurable evaluation paths
Confirm that Daily is purchasable and verify the exact DLL, drawdown, price, overnight, weekend, and news-calendar scope at checkout; no stable public Daily price was captured.
TradeDay monthly prices were tied to a 55%-off promotion
Treat the table price as a dated promotional snapshot. Recheck the first month, renewal, and reset totals before paying.
Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.
Scored out of 5 by Trustpilot users, not by us. Where Trustpilot has pulled a firm's aggregate rating we say so rather than leaving a blank.
