How Does Escrow Work?
When a trader transitions to a LucidLive account, all simulated profits from LucidPro and LucidDirect accounts are consolidated and split into two portions:
70% of profits are allocated to the trader’s LucidLive account with real trading capital
30% is held in escrow and released gradually as performance benchmarks are met
Escrow is unlocked in three stages as the trader completes profitable days in LucidLive:
Bonus Release | Requirement |
First Bonus | 10 trading days with |
Second Bonus | 20 trading days with |
Third Bonus | 30 trading days with |
Each bonus is one-third of the escrow amount and becomes available once its milestone is reached.
What Is a LucidEscrow Account?
If a trader’s LucidLive account is liquidated due to drawdown, the unused escrow balance is moved into a LucidEscrow account.
The LucidEscrow account is a simulated trading account
It offers a second chance to re-qualify for LucidLive
The starting balance equals the remaining escrow from the liquidated LucidLive account
While trading in a LucidEscrow account, traders can request payouts based on their performance:
For every 10 trading days with profits of $500 or more, a payout of up to $2,500 may be requested
How Do I Move Back to LucidLive?
To return to LucidLive from a LucidEscrow account:
You must complete 20 trading days, each with a profit of $500 or more
Once this milestone is reached, you may be eligible to return to live trading
A portion of the escrow amount will again be held, with the specific amount determined by Lucid’s risk team on a case-by-case basis
