Lucid Trading vs GOAT Funded Futures: prop firm rules compared

Lucid Trading's LucidDaily (intraday eval) plan and GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic 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 a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start; at GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start.

On Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans and GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Flex 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 Lucid Trading's LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily (EOD eval) and LucidDirect plans and GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Flex 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 and GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Instant Classic 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 and GOAT Funded Futures' 1-Day-Pass and Instant Classic plans set it at $1,000 on $50,000. Lucid Trading's LucidFlex plan and GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and Flex plans 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 and GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and Flex 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 and GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan cap 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 and $700 of a $3,500 target. Lucid Trading's LucidPro plan and GOAT Funded Futures' 1-Day-Pass plan apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan requires at least 7 trading days before a pass; GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and 1-Day-Pass plans set no minimum number of days.

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

Lucid Trading and GOAT Funded Futures differ on one of the evaluation rules compared here, the 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; GOAT Funded Futures caps one day at 20–50% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others.

Once funded, the profit split is 90/10 at Lucid Trading and 80/20 default (90/10 add-on) at GOAT Funded Futures.

Lucid Trading sells 4 plans: LucidPro, LucidFlex, LucidDaily and LucidDirect; GOAT Funded Futures sells 4 plans: EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass, Flex and Instant Classic. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan.
