Trade 1 contract to risk $400 at your stop.
Contract limit on this account: 4 minis or 40 micros.
Daily loss left today 33% of it
Room to max loss 20% of it
FX conversions use the ECB reference rates of 2026-10-13. Sizes are rounded down, so the risk never goes over what you set. A stop doesn't guarantee your fill: in fast markets the loss can be larger.
Example: LucidPro · Evaluation · 50K
Risking 1% ($500) on NQ with a 20-point stop gives 1 contract. That stop uses 33% of the daily loss limit and 20% of the max loss on a fresh account. After a losing day there is less room, so type what is left today.
The limits your stop has to fit, by account
Fresh accounts, from Lucid Trading's official pages. The max loss trails on some accounts, so the room to it can be smaller than shown once the balance has been higher.

Lucid Trading position size questions
What contract size can I trade on a Lucid Trading account?
It depends on your stop and on what is left of the account's limits. On a fresh LucidPro · Evaluation · 50K account, risking 1% ($500) on NQ with a 20-point stop is 1 contract. Pick your own account, stop and today's remaining daily loss in the calculator.
How many contracts can I trade at Lucid Trading?
Lucid Trading caps the full-size contracts you can hold, by account: 25K LucidDaily (end-of-day evaluation): 2; 50K LucidDaily (end-of-day evaluation): 4; 100K LucidDaily (end-of-day evaluation): 6; 150K LucidDaily (end-of-day evaluation): 10; 25K LucidDaily (intraday evaluation): 2; 50K LucidDaily (intraday evaluation): 4. Micros count as a tenth of a mini at most firms. The calculator applies the cap of the account you pick.
Does Lucid Trading have a daily loss limit?
Yes, on some accounts (LucidDaily (end-of-day evaluation), LucidDaily (intraday evaluation), LucidDirect, LucidFlex, LucidMaxx (invite only), LucidPro have none). A stop that would lose more than what is left of today's limit breaks it, even if it is only 1% of the balance; the calculator sizes the trade so the stop stays inside.
