Lucid Trading has updated several rules. The inactivity rule used to remove an account at day 30 if no trades were placed. Now an account that has not produced at least $1 of net profit or loss within 30 calendar days is deemed abandoned and permanently deleted, on all sim account types.
On LucidDaily funded accounts, a payout request now needs positive net profit (even $1) since the previous request. There is still no consistency rule. News trading is still not permitted on LucidDaily funded accounts, but the restriction now covers only High-impact USD news events, where it used to cover all red-folder news. Be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after each one. Trading, or holding a position through that window, is a hard breach, which means the account is breached, not just warned. There is no news restriction during evaluation.
On live accounts, daily payouts are available from the start rather than after the live drawdown is cleared. A payout requested before live profits exceed the drawdown is allowed and locks the MLL at $100.
Full rules are on the Lucid Trading firm page.
