BluSky Trading Company review

BluSky Trading Company is a US-based futures prop firm offering Premium (trailing/EOD drawdown) and Static evaluation plans with one-time challenge fees (some plans have monthly elements), account sizes from $25K to $300K, no minimum trading days, profit targets from ~$1,500–$20,000+, EOD or static drawdown limits, a mandatory close-all-positions 15 minutes before market close rule in evaluations (with auto-liquidation risk), news trading allowed, and support for platforms like Volumetrica. They feature multiple paths including Launch, Growth, BluLive (buffer stage), Sim Funded, and Direct/Instant Sim Funded options, with scaling/contract limits based on account size.

BluSky uses a trader-friendly 30% consistency rule during Evaluation and BluLive stages (no single trading day >30% of the profit target; if breached, the target increases only by the excess amount rather than failing the account). Some plans vary (e.g., 21% on Static Growth or 300K accounts, 50% on Launch). Daily Loss Limit (DLL) is EOD-based and active only during Evaluation (e.g., $600–$2,500 depending on plan/account; fully removed in BluLive and often in funded stages). Overall drawdown serves as the primary risk control, with additional profit caps in Sim Funded (e.g., stop after $5K daily/$10K weekly in some cases for review).

Daily payouts are available Monday–Friday with same-day processing via ACH if requested before 11 AM ET (otherwise next business day), minimum withdrawal $250. Initial payout caps ($300–$1,000 depending on account) are removed after the first successful payout. Profit split is typically 90% to the trader (10% to firm) in Sim Funded and Live stages. In most funded/live stages, no consistency rule applies to payouts once in full brokerage; early Sim Funded may have weekly caps that lift later, with no major hidden fees.
