Firm-wide rules:

• Micro scalping: accounts may be flagged if more than 50% of profits come from trades held 5 seconds or less. Genuine scalping is allowed if it looks like real market activity.
• Hedging is prohibited, including opposite positions across multiple accounts and correlated contracts (for example long ES in one account and short NQ in another).
• High-frequency trading is prohibited. Lucid may remove profits, close accounts, and restrict access for repeated offenses.
• Inactivity: accounts with no net profit or loss of at least $1 within 30 calendar days are treated as abandoned and permanently deleted.
• News: allowed on all evaluations and funded accounts except LucidDaily. On LucidDaily, red-folder news is a hard breach — be flat from 1 minute before through 1 minute after the event.

This is an instant LucidDirect account, not a pass/fail evaluation. Follow the funded consistency rule, stay inside the 4 mini / 40 micro cap, and meet the payout buffer/goals before requesting a payout.

Stay inside the 4 mini / 40 micro contract cap.

News trading is listed as allowed on this program. Still confirm the live Lucid news policy before a release.

Do not hedge across accounts or correlated products, and do not run HFT. Avoid the micro-scalping pattern Lucid flags (most profits from sub-5-second trades).

Trade at least $1 of net P&L within 30 calendar days or the account can be deleted for inactivity.
