Lucid Trading: Payouts, split & buffer

Lucid Trading Payout Buffer Rule: Avoid This Void Trap55s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki

90% split on all funded accounts; minimum payout request $500, any day once eligible, disbursed within ~2 business days. LucidPro requires a profit goal, 40% consistency and profits exceeding the buffer (Initial MLL + $100, e.g. $154,600 on a $150K) — you can't pay out of the buffer. Per-cycle dollar caps apply and scale modestly. LucidFlex caps each payout at 50% of profit (flat $ max that doesn't scale) and allows max 5 payouts before forced graduation to LucidLive.

The gotcha

Trading after a payout request that drops your balance into the buffer/below goal can void the request — treat the requested amount as already gone.

Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
