LucidTest, LucidPro and LucidDirect Accounts

  • All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM EST, Monday through Friday

  • Any open positions will be automatically closed by Lucid Trading at 4:45 PM EST

  • Important: Holding a position past this time does not result in a failed account

Market Reopen Times:

  • Trading resumes at 6:00 PM EST, Sunday through Thursday

  • On market holidays with altered closing times, all positions must be closed before the market closes, regardless of the usual 4:45 PM cutoff

LucidLive Accounts

  • Swing trading is allowed in LucidLive accounts

  • Traders may hold positions past 4:45 PM EST and through the overnight maintenance window, provided they meet overnight margin maintenance requirements

  • For added risk control, an auto-liquidate option can be enabled to automatically close positions before the maintenance window

Auto-liquidation settings and other risk configurations are handled during the LucidLive onboarding process.
