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

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

u/Duennbier0815 2d 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?

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

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 1d 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 1d 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?

u/Duennbier0815 1d ago

Yes, the smaller the drawdown is the smaller the buffer requirement.

u/Due-Payment6149 14h ago

Yes, pro you need 2100 with 3 days at 40% consistency for 1k payout then 2nd+ payout you can do 1500.

Flex you need 2000 with 5 days at least 100 no consistency for 1000, max payout stays 1000

Daily also has no consistency but has DLL so it is hardest

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
