Lucid Trading and Blueberry Futures in brief
Lucid Trading
Four plans: LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily and LucidDirect. Every plan trails at end of day and locks at the initial balance plus $100; the LucidDaily evaluation is also sold with intraday trailing. Every daily loss limit is soft, a "soft breach" that does not fail the account.
Blueberry Futures
Ascent trails at end of day with a 2-day minimum; Accelerated trails intraday with a 1-day minimum. Both use the same dollar limits, have no daily loss limit and give 30 days to pass. Black Arrow only.
How these rules play out
Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan and Blueberry Futures' Accelerated 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 Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan and Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan 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 and Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan 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 Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans and Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan 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. Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidDaily (EOD eval), LucidDaily (intraday eval) and LucidDirect plans set it at $1,200 on $50,000. Lucid Trading's LucidFlex plan and Blueberry Futures have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.
Lucid Trading starts the trading day at 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. Lucid Trading's LucidPro plan and Blueberry Futures apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.
Blueberry Futures requires at least 2 trading days on Ascent and 1 on Accelerated before a pass.
Blueberry Futures' evaluation runs for 30 days; a target not reached by then is not a pass.
On automated trading — a strategy or bot sending the orders — at Lucid Trading it is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account; Blueberry Futures has no written answer on record. Written answers: Lucid Trading (read ).
Choosing between Lucid Trading and Blueberry Futures
Lucid Trading and Blueberry Futures differ on 2 of the evaluation rules compared here: daily loss limit and consistency rule. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: Lucid Trading caps one day at 20–50% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others; Blueberry Futures has no consistency rule. If you keep trading after a losing morning, look at what the daily loss limit does: Lucid Trading pauses the day at its daily loss limit on some plans and has no limit on others; Blueberry Futures has no daily loss limit.
Payout terms once funded — Lucid Trading: On request once eligible; Blueberry Futures: After 5 profitable days of $200+. Lucid Trading sells 4 plans: LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily and LucidDirect; Blueberry Futures sells 2 plans: Ascent and Accelerated. 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, Lucid Trading's written answer is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account, and Blueberry Futures has no written answer on record.
