Lucid Trading: End-of-day trailing max loss limit
▶Lucid Trading EOD Trailing Drawdown Rule: The Lock-In Trap — 49s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
An EOD trailing Max Loss Limit — at the end of each session the system trails your highest closing balance; it rises as your balance grows and locks permanently at the initial balance + $100 once the account closes above the Initial Trail Balance. Intraday unrealized swings do not breach. Amounts: $1k/$2k/$3k/$4.5k (Pro/Flex); LucidDirect is larger at $100k ($3.5k) and $150k ($5k).
The gotcha
After the trail locks, the floor sits just $100 above your start — one bad close near break-even can still fail you.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
