Tradeify vs Lucid Trading: Growth, Select and Lightning vs Flex, Pro and Direct
Tradeify sells three programs: Growth (one-day pass, soft daily loss limit, 35% consistency when funded), Select (no daily loss limit, 40% consistency during the evaluation, none once funded, with Flex or Daily payout policies) and Lightning Funded (instant, 20/25/30% consistency). Lucid sells LucidFlex (50% to pass, none when funded), LucidPro (none to pass, 40% when funded), LucidDaily and LucidDirect (20%). Both charge one-time fees, both offer Tradovate, both allow copying between your own accounts, and both cap funded accounts at 5. The numbers below are from help.tradeify.co and support.lucidtrading.com as of October 2026. Disclosure: we build TradeDupe, a Tradovate trade copier.

Growth 50K $145 (reset $95), Select 50K $165, Lightning Funded 50K $492. Growth: EOD trailing $2,000, soft DLL $1,250, 1 day, no eval consistency, 35% when funded.

Lucid: one-time fee, no activation, Flex funded has no consistency rule
From about $70 (25K) after discounts. 50K: target $3,000, EOD trailing $2,000 locking at start + $100. Flex: optional DLL, 50% to pass, none when funded. Pro: fixed DLL $1,200, no eval consistency, 40% when funded. Direct: 20%. 90/10, min payout $500. Household cap 10 evaluations, 5 funded.
Both can be copied with TradeDupe
Tradeify: “You may only group trade between accounts you own and manage”; third-party copiers “at your own risk.” Lucid: “Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted.” Both route through Tradovate, so TradeDupe can mirror one leader's fills and brackets across accounts at either firm or both.
Before you go live
Checklist & pitfalls
Go-Live Checklist
You want Tradeify's Growth / Select / Lightning numbers next to Lucid's Flex / Pro / Direct.
You are looking for a plan with no consistency rule once funded (Tradeify Select, LucidFlex).
You plan to copy one leader across accounts at both firms.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
Tradeify Flex and Daily are payout policies on Select funded accounts, not separate evaluations; Growth is a different program with a 35% funded consistency rule.
LucidFlex requires 50% consistency to pass; LucidPro requires none to pass but 40% at payout.
Both firms forbid hedging between accounts and copying another trader's signals.
Guide
Fees: both one-time, Tradeify publishes a price list
Tradeify's pricing reference lists Growth at $99 / $145 / $255 / $369 (25K / 50K / 100K / 150K) with resets at $60 / $95 / $155 / $215, Select at $109 / $165 / $265 / $369, and Lightning Funded at $345 / $492 / $660 / $796. Lucid's one-time fee has no activation charge and no monthly component; the 25K evaluation was about $70 after discounts in October 2026 and the DLL-bearing configuration listed around $123 / $192 / $307 / $410 before discounts.
Worked example at 50K with two failures before passing: Tradeify Growth $145 + $95 + $95 = $335; Tradeify Select $165 × 3 = $495 (Select resets are not listed in the pricing reference we used, so we assume full re-buys); Lucid 3 × the discounted price shown at checkout.
Tradeify Select is one evaluation with two payout policies once funded. Select Flex: no consistency rule, a payout every 5 winning days, caps of $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,500 / $4,500 by size. Select Daily: no consistency rule, daily payouts above a buffer, with a daily loss limit of $500 / $1,000 / $1,250 / $1,750. Growth funded: 35% consistency, 5 days of at least $100–$250, minimum payout $250–$1,500, caps from $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500. Lightning Funded: 20% on payout 1, 25% on payout 2, 30% from payout 3, minimum payout $1,000.
LucidFlex funded: no consistency rule, payout every 5 qualifying days, min $500, caps $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000, and after 5 payouts you move to LucidLive with daily payouts. LucidPro funded: 40% per payout cycle, min $500, payout 1 caps $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000. LucidDirect: 20%, min $500.
Worked example, $2,000 best day on a 50K funded account: Tradeify Growth (35%) needs $5,715 total before that payout; LucidPro (40%) $5,000; Lightning payout 1 (20%) and LucidDirect (20%) $10,000; Tradeify Select Flex, Select Daily and LucidFlex need nothing beyond their cycle.
Drawdown and daily loss
Tradeify Growth (50K): EOD trailing drawdown $2,000 and a soft daily loss limit of $1,250 (you are locked out for the day, not failed). Tradeify Select (50K): EOD trailing $2,000 and no daily loss limit during the evaluation; Select Daily adds a $1,000 DLL once funded. Lucid Flex and Pro (50K): EOD trailing $2,000 that locks at start + $100; Flex's DLL is optional, Pro's is fixed at $1,200. LucidDirect: $2,000 max loss and $1,200 DLL.
If you want no daily loss limit at any stage, the choices here are Tradeify Select with the Flex payout policy or LucidFlex with the DLL left off. Both also have no consistency rule once funded; the difference is Select's 40% rule and 3 minimum days during the evaluation versus Flex's 50% rule and no minimum days.
Account caps and copying with TradeDupe
Both firms cap funded accounts at 5: Tradeify counts Growth, Select and Lightning together; Lucid counts per household with 10 evaluations and 10 total. A trader who wants 10 funded accounts runs 5 at each.
Tradeify permits group trading only between accounts you own and manage and treats third-party copiers as your own risk. Lucid states that trade copiers are permitted and that the trader is responsible for software errors. Both prohibit hedging between accounts. TradeDupe connects one Tradovate login per firm via OAuth, mirrors the leader's fills, bracket TP/SL and modifications to the followers you enable, and market-closes any follower fill it did not place. The Standard plan ($30/month) covers 2 Tradovate logins with up to 10 accounts each, enough for 5 Tradeify plus 5 Lucid.
