Drawdown in plain words
Each program sets a loss limit: an account that falls to it fails. How the limit moves depends on the drawdown type.
End-of-day trailing
LucidDaily Eval (EOD), LucidDirect (instant, no evaluation), LucidFlex Eval, LucidPro Eval
The limit trails the highest end-of-day balance by the maximum drawdown. It moves only at the daily close and never down; swings inside the day do not move it.
Example: Lucid Trading LucidDaily Eval (EOD) on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. If a day closes at $51,000, the limit moves up to $49,000 at the close; a losing day after that does not move it back down. (data checked )
From the program terms
LucidDaily Eval (EOD)
Eval EOD; funded intradayIntraday trailing
LucidDaily Eval (Intraday)
The limit trails the highest point the account reaches during the session by the maximum drawdown and moves up as soon as a new high is made. It never moves down.
Example: Lucid Trading LucidDaily Eval (Intraday) on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. If the account reaches $51,000 during the session, the limit moves up to $49,000 straight away, even if the day then closes lower. (data checked )

Consistency rule

How this rule worksCheck your best day
Example: Lucid Trading LucidDaily Eval (EOD) on a $50,000 account: the profit target is $3,000 and the rule is 40%. If you finish exactly on the target, no single day may have made more than $1,200 of it. (data checked )
