What Is It?
The Daily Loss Limit (DLL) is the maximum amount a trader can lose in a single day before trading is restricted until the next session. All DLLs at Lucid Trading are considered soft breaches—meaning the account remains valid as long as the Max Loss Limit (MLL) has not been reached.
How It Works in LucidTest
LucidTest accounts use a Fixed DLL that does not change over time.
Account Size | Fixed DLL Amount |
$50,000 | $1,200 |
$100,000 | $1,800 |
$150,000 | $2,700 |
If you reach the DLL listed for your account size, you will be restricted from placing additional trades until the next trading session, provided your account has not been liquidated.
How It Works in LucidPro
LucidPro accounts begin with the same Fixed DLL values used in LucidTest, as long as the balance remains below the Initial Trail Balance.
Account Size | Fixed DLL | Initial Trail Balance |
$50,000 | $1,200 | $52,100 |
$100,000 | $1,800 | $103,100 |
$150,000 | $2,700 | $154,600 |
Once the account closes above the Initial Trail Balance, the Fixed DLL is replaced by the LucidScale DLL.
LucidScale DLL Formula:
Highest end-of-day account profit × 60% = LucidScale DLL
The LucidScale DLL increases as your account grows
It does not decrease, even if the account draws down
This provides greater flexibility and reward for consistent profitability
Example:
If your highest end-of-day profit is $4,000, then:
$4,000 × 0.60 = $2,400
Your new DLL will be $2,400 until a higher end-of-day profit is achieved
How It Works in LucidDirect
LucidDirect follows the same logic as LucidPro. Accounts start with a Fixed DLL, which transitions to LucidScale after surpassing the Initial Trail Balance.
Account Size | Fixed DLL | Initial Trail Balance |
$50,000 | $1,200 | $52,100 |
$150,000 | $3,600 | $156,100 |
Once the balance closes above the trail, the LucidScale formula applies:
Highest end-of-day account profit × 60% = LucidScale DLL
As with LucidPro, the LucidScale DLL only grows and never resets downward.
