Lucid Drawdown Type: Trailing vs Static Explained
Lucid uses trailing drawdown — end-of-day or trailing drawdown by product. Your loss limit trails equity highs, so banking profits protects headroom.
Developer-trader breakdown of Lucid Trading drawdown mechanics.
How This Firm Measures Drawdown
Lucid uses a trailing drawdown model: End-of-day or trailing drawdown by product.
Trailing means your loss limit rises with equity peaks — you cannot give back new highs without shrinking available room.
Trading Implications
- Bank profits regularly — unrealized peaks raise your floor
- Respect daily loss limits on evaluation paths independently of max loss
- Simulate paths in Prop Survival before increasing size
