How do payouts compare?

Tradeify pays 90% with no payout-count cap. Select Flex pays every 5 winning days of $150 or more each (50K), up to 50% of total profits capped at $2,500 per request. Select Daily allows a request any day above a $2,100 buffer with a $1,000 daily loss limit and a $1,250 per-request cap on a 50K (accounts purchased after September 1, 2026). The Flex-or-Daily choice is permanent for that account.

Lucid Pro also pays 90%. Each payout cycle on a 50K requires at least $500 of new profit, a 40% best-day consistency check and a balance above the buffer, which equals the $2,000 max loss limit plus $100 ($52,100). The minimum request is $500, so the smallest payout needs a $52,600 balance; per-request maximums are $2,000 on the first payout and $2,500 after that. Lucid advertises disbursement within 2 business days and sets no payout-count cap.

Which rules catch traders out?

Tradeify's Select evaluation applies a 40% consistency rule (a 50% add-on is available), so passing takes at least 3 trading days. The funded Daily path adds a daily loss limit plus a buffer you cannot withdraw into, and after any payout the account must be net positive for the new cycle before the next request. On both paths the funded drawdown locks permanently $100 above the starting balance once you are $2,100 up (50K) or at the first payout, whichever comes first.

On Lucid Pro, the 40% consistency rule and the $500 minimum profit goal (50K) reset after every approved payout, so each cycle starts fresh. If you trade before your payout is processed and the balance drops into the buffer, the request can be denied. The funded daily loss limit is optional: a fixed $1,200 on the 50K, which converts to LucidScale - 60% of your highest end-of-day profit - once the balance closes above the trail balance ($52,100 on a 50K).

How do the funded accounts differ?

Tradeify's funded account scales contracts with profit, and its drawdown locks as described above. Consistent payouts lead to review for Tradeify's Elite live program.

Lucid's funded account is simulated with no scaling plan, so you get full contract size immediately: 4 minis or 40 micros on a 50K. There is no cap on the number or lifetime total of payouts (the $2,000 first-payout and $2,500 later per-request maximums still apply), and Lucid says funded traders can potentially be moved to live markets.

Frequently asked questions

Which evaluation passes faster?

Lucid Pro: no consistency rule and no minimum days, so one strong session can pass. Tradeify's Select applies 40% consistency (50% add-on available), which means at least 3 trading days. Both set a $3,000 target and $2,000 drawdown at 50K.

Who pays out faster once funded?

Tradeify's Select Daily allows a request any day above the $2,100 buffer (50K). Lucid requires $500 of new profit plus a 40% consistency check per cycle, with no fixed window, and says payouts are disbursed within 2 business days.

What does $52,100 mean at both firms?

On a 50K, Lucid's buffer equals the $2,000 drawdown plus $100, so you can only request payouts above $52,100. At Tradeify, the funded drawdown locks $100 above the starting balance once your balance reaches $52,100 or you take a first payout.

What do resets cost?

Tradeify's Select evaluation allows up to 10 resets per 30 days at $109 each on the 50K. A Lucid Pro 50K reset costs $120.
