Bulenox vs Lucid Trading: prop firm rules compared

Bulenox's Option 1 plan and Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan trail the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at Bulenox's Option 1 plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start; at Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Bulenox's Option 2 plan and Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Bulenox's Option 2 plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start; at Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. Bulenox's Option 2 plan sets it at $1,100 on $50,000 and Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidDaily (EOD eval), LucidDaily (intraday eval) and LucidDirect plans set it at $1,200 on $50,000. Bulenox's Option 1 plan and Lucid Trading's LucidFlex plan have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

Bulenox and Lucid Trading start the trading day at the same moment, 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Lucid Trading's LucidFlex plan caps any single day at 40% of total profit, so it takes at least 3 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,200 of a $3,000 target. Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDaily (intraday eval) plans cap any single day at 50% of total profit, so it takes at least 2 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,500 of a $3,000 target. Lucid Trading's LucidDirect plan caps any single day at 20% of total profit, so it takes at least 5 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $600 of a $3,000 target. Bulenox and Lucid Trading's LucidPro plan apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

Bulenox sets no minimum number of days.

On automated trading — a strategy or bot sending the orders — Bulenox has no written answer on record; at Lucid Trading it is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account. Written answers: Lucid Trading (read Oct 21, 2026).

Bulenox and Lucid Trading differ on 2 of the evaluation rules compared here: consistency rule and max drawdown at $50K. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: Bulenox has no consistency rule; Lucid Trading caps one day at 20–50% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others. In dollars at $50K, Bulenox asks for $3,000 of profit with $2,500 of drawdown room, Lucid Trading for $3,000 with $2,000.

Once funded, the profit split is 100% of the first $10K, then 90/10 at Bulenox and 90/10 at Lucid Trading. Payout terms — Bulenox: Weekly (Wednesdays); Lucid Trading: On request once eligible. Bulenox sells 2 plans: Option 1 and Option 2; Lucid Trading sells 4 plans: LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily and LucidDirect. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan. If a strategy or bot will send your orders, Bulenox has no written answer on record, and Lucid Trading's written answer is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account.
