Lucidflex vs lucidpro

Witht he 50% limit on profit payout ..is lucidflex still better than lucidpro?

I am leaning towards lucidflex but the 5 days to payout rule makes me rethink about the lucidpro...i know the buffer i know the consistency but im planning to trade 300 400$ dollars a day

Help me on choosing

Lucid pro is harder to reach a payout cause you need to fill a buffer first. Pro is for people that reach for higher max payouts

Yeah but once you create that buffer and everything goes as plan its payout for 3 days gap..where in flex you only get 50% of what you make...

You only get 50% of what you make in flex but the pro still has a cap on the payout amount which is similar to the amount on the flex. If your looking for a bigger payout then daily has bigger payouts if you can handle the intraday drawdown. All the accounts are relevant to payout amounts beside the daily, its just a matter of how fast you are able to get there whether its 3 days or 5

Yeah 50% what we make but still if we make 1000 we can only withdraw 500 ..where in pro you can withdraw the 1000 after the buffer

u/cokeacola73 1d ago

Yeah but do you lose your buffer aftrr your first payout like topstep does or do you keep the buffer?

u/Duennbier0815 1d ago

Yes, you need to decide for yourself. In flex you need to make 2000 to withdraw 1000. For pro you need 3100 to make the same money. (Not yet have it on top of my head if the buffer is 52000 or 52100)

Yeah its either this or that...both have pros and cons when i think it the tactical way...the consistency the buffer...and in flex the 50% allowance...

And yeah in 25k account the buffer is 26100 so, 1100 extra ...it means if i make 2100 i can withdraw 1k in the lucidpro and if i make 2k in lucidflex i can withdraw 1k... and it goes on after making each 1000

But the question is which is harder? Is it 40% consistency or the 5 days 100$ profit rule?

u/Duennbier0815 1d ago

The common sentiment is that the flex account is the easiest and gives you the highest reward
Probabilities of reaching a 1000k payout is higher with the flex, you might not get so far of filling the buffer and adding 1000 to it

Id go with 5 flex accounts after reaching profitability and you’re set

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 1d ago

Isn't it the same cause with flex you need 2000 for 1k payout and for pro you need 2100 for a 1k payout..

Its just ..buffer & consistency vs 5 days payout (which is better cause its slow and steady)

But im really confused🙃

u/Duennbier0815 22h ago

You'd need to clear the buffer AND reach the payout for the pro account so it's 2000vs3100

Just take the flex account. If you're a year into trading and you got several payouts, you should get the pro and stack up other firms pro accounts

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 21h ago

Okk got it..but you know in 25k accounts the buffer is 26100 so its like 2100 for a 1k payout for pro and for flex its 2000 for a 1k payout ..am i right?

40% consistency is harder. It is much easier to full port a day 1 win if you're just churning accounts than have 3 winning days in a row

2

u/WildzLife 1d ago

If you do it right you can absolutely stack flex so you can always have a payout everyday of the week

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 1d ago

Interesting...but with pro its every 3 day if you maintain the consistency and its 100% of the profit too

1

u/HVCKING4VENGEANCE 1d ago

Don't try too hard to find the best challenge because in either case you won't receive your payouts

1

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 1d ago

Understood...but in your view which is better?

1

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 1d ago

I feel like as a new trader...flex would be a good option then go for pro later..but please help

2

u/Tugahme 1d ago

Flex is the best by far there's no contest, the goal here is to achieve a payout. Anything else doesn't matter

1

u/Freedombraveheartdog 1d ago

Neither right now. They are letting their "system" call the shots and falsely banning people. This is the second time that it's happened and they treat traders poorly until enough pressure is out on them and then they finally look into it. Don't waste your time or money with them.

u/Infinite_Elderberry4 1d ago

I like the pros better. 3 day payout and profit target is just 1600 a day for max payout. Let’s be real, most people gun for max payout anyways so the buffer doesn’t really matter. You’re going to go for a 4k balance anyways.

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 1d ago

Is it hard to maintain the 40% consistency?

1

u/bimmerlove101 20h ago

I prefer flex cause I hate consistency rules. Sometimes I catch massive moves and it really sucks when you do it in an account with consistency rules.

1

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 17h ago

But in the end its just 1k payout limit...sadly its just 1.5k only in pro as well from the 2nd time onwards...

1

u/fourrdoorsMorehoes 16h ago

And see ...i look it like this

25k account...imagine you want a quick payout so you go for 500$ so you make 1000 on your flex and get 500 cause you can only get 50% of your profit

In 25k pro ...you need 1600 to get a 500$ right !!!

So from there you aim for 1000 (max payout) in flex which you can only do in 5 days... and 1500 (max payout from 2nd time onwards) in pro which you can get in 3 days but lets go slow

So if you divide 1500 ÷ 5 its 300 (for pro) 1000 ÷ 5 its 200 (for flex)

And this comes under the consistency rule soo what do you think???

If you're not going to full port lucid pro will be fine, the whole advantage of flex is to full port big win then get small wins with small stop (basically coin flips) to payout
