Lucid Trading Drawdown Calculator
Lucid Trading's max loss limit trails your highest end-of-day closing balance, so intraday swings do not move it. Once your balance passes the starting balance plus the max loss plus $100, the limit locks at your starting balance + $100 and stops moving. A daily loss limit is optional and chosen at checkout.
- Max loss: highest end-of-day balance $50,000 − $2,000 = $48,000. It rises only after the session closes, and locks at $50,100 once an end-of-day balance reaches $52,100.
- Both limits are checked against your equity ($50,000), so floating P/L counts.
Most drawdown breaches happen around CPI, NFP and FOMC. See this week's high-impact events and BiasForge's bias →
Pre-filled with an example, so replace the figures with your own. Firm presets follow each firm's published rules on the date shown, and rules change. Custom mode assumes the limit is a fixed dollar amount set from your starting balance and leaves out daily loss limits. For education only, not financial advice.

Where drawdown usually goes
Most blown limits are not one bad trade but one bad hour, and those hours cluster around the big US releases. Before a CPI, NFP or FOMC day, check how much room your Lucid Trading account has and size down. The playbooks cover each one: how to trade CPI, how to trade NFP and how to trade FOMC on a funded account, and this week's high-impact releases.

Frequently asked
When does the Lucid max loss lock?
Once your balance passes the starting balance plus the max loss limit plus $100. On a $50,000 LucidPro account that is $52,100, and the limit then locks at $50,100. On a $150,000 LucidDirect account it locks at $150,100 once the balance passes $156,100.
Is Lucid Trading's drawdown intraday or end of day?
End of day. The limit trails your highest closing balance, so an open profit during the session does not raise it.
What is the max loss limit on LucidPro and LucidDirect?
LucidPro and LucidTest: $2,000 on $50K, $3,000 on $100K and $4,500 on $150K. LucidDirect: $2,000 on $50K and $6,000 on $150K.
Does Lucid Trading have a daily loss limit?
It is optional and chosen at checkout. If your account has one, enter it in the calculator to see whether it or the max loss limit is closer.
