BluSky: Futures Prop Trading With Daily Payouts, 90/10 Split, Multiple Platforms & Path to Brokerage
BluSky is a futures-focused prop trading firm built around evaluations, BluLive / buffer stages, Sim Funded Accounts and a path toward live brokerage. Traders can choose from multiple account paths, use several futures trading platforms, keep 90% of profits, and request payouts once funded rules are met.
Firm Overview
BluSky gives futures traders a structured path from evaluation to funded trading. The firm promotes fast payout access, a 90/10 profit split, platform flexibility, coaching, and a staged model that can include Evaluation, BluLive / Buffer, Sim Funded and eventually Brokerage review.
Evaluation Accounts
Traders start by reaching the profit target while respecting the account’s consistency and drawdown rules. Different categories can have different consistency rules.
Sim Funded Accounts
After passing the required stages, traders can reach Sim Funded Accounts where payouts start from $250 and payout requests can be submitted daily within the rules.
Brokerage Path
BluSky includes a review path toward live brokerage. Once total profit reaches the review threshold, traders may be assessed for brokerage transition.
Programs & Evaluation Structure
BluSky uses several plan categories. Launch, Propel / Premium, Static, Orbit, Instant Funded and Direct 2 Funded accounts can follow different rules. The dashboard and checkout page should always be checked before buying because the exact plan structure can vary.
| Plan Type | Evaluation / Stage | Consistency | Minimum Days | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch Plans | Evaluation → BluLive / Buffer → Sim Funded → Brokerage | 50% in Evaluation, 34% in BluLive / Buffer | Varies by plan | Entry-level structure with lower pricing depending on checkout selection. |
| Propel / Premium | Evaluation → BluLive / Buffer → Sim Funded → Brokerage | 34% | Check plan terms | Standard futures evaluation path with consistency and EOD trailing balance rules. |
| Static Evaluations | Evaluation → BluLive / Buffer → Sim Funded → Brokerage | 34%, except 300K uses 21% | Check plan terms | Static-style rules can differ by account size and plan category. |
| Orbit Plans | Evaluation → BluLive / Buffer → Sim Funded → Brokerage | No consistency in Evaluation; later stages use consistency | Can pass Evaluation in as little as 1 day | Orbit has faster progression but later-stage requirements still apply. |
| Instant / Direct Funded | Starts at Sim Funded stage | Program-specific | No traditional evaluation | Direct route for traders who want to skip a standard evaluation phase. |
Core Evaluation Rules
To pass an evaluation, traders must reach the profit target, maintain the applicable consistency rule, and show consistent profit generation. BluSky states that the main way to fail an evaluation is falling below the minimum EOD trailing balance.
| Rule Area | BluSky Rule | Trader Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Profit Target | Must be reached according to the selected plan. | Always verify the exact target in checkout and dashboard before starting. |
| Consistency | Launch 50%, Propel / Premium / Static 34%, 300K Static 21%, Orbit no Evaluation consistency. | Consistency is calculated by the dashboard and may affect the target or stage progression. |
| Minimum Balance | EOD trailing minimum balance increases with the highest EOD balance and does not decrease after losses. | Falling to the established EOD minimum balance can fail the evaluation. |
| News Trading | News trading does not automatically fail the account. | Trade news at your own risk because volatility can still hit drawdown rules. |
| Trading Hours / Close | BluSky recommends closing all trades before 4:45 PM EST; system attempts auto-liquidation around 15 minutes before market close. | This is not a swing-hold model. If positions remain after 5 PM EST, losses may stand and the account may not be adjusted. |
Platforms
BluSky lists multiple platform options. The main site shows Volumetrica, Rithmic, TickBlaze, Tradesea and Tradovate. The Help Center also lists Rithmic-compatible platforms such as NinjaTrader for Evaluation only, Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, ATAS, R|Trader Pro, VolSyS / Deepchart and VolBook / Deepdom.
Payouts
BluSky promotes daily payouts Monday through Friday once funded. In Sim Funded Accounts, payout requests start at $250. Requests before 11 AM EST may be processed the same day, while requests after 11 AM EST are processed the next day. Traders must stop trading once a withdrawal request is submitted until the funds are removed.
| Payout Item | Rule | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Profit Split | 90% to trader / 10% to firm | BluSky markets this as a simple 90/10 payout model. |
| Frequency | Daily requests available | Payouts are promoted as available Monday through Friday once funded rules are met. |
| Minimum Withdrawal | $250 | Applies to Sim Funded payout requests. |
| Processing Cutoff | Before 11 AM EST same-day; after 11 AM EST next day | Processing depends on rule compliance and account status. |
| Between Requests | Must trade $250+ between payout requests | Flipping contracts just to trigger a payout may not count; trade with intent. |
Sim Funded Account Payout Caps
Sim Funded Accounts use rolling 7-day payout caps. The cap resets based on the timing of each individual approved payout, not a fixed calendar week.
| Account Type | 7-Day Payout Cap | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 25K / 150K Static | $1,500 | Cap applies on a rolling 7-day basis. |
| 50K / 200K Static | $2,500 | Payout availability refreshes as earlier withdrawals roll off. |
| 100K / 300K Static | $3,000 | Up to 3 Sim Funded Accounts may create up to $9,000/week potential cap. |
Multiple Accounts & Copy Trading
BluSky allows unlimited evaluation accounts across many account categories. Funded-stage accounts are capped differently, and the Help Center states that funded accounts can only be 3 at a time across Sim Funded, Instant Sim Funded or Direct to Funded accounts.
| Account Stage | Max Accounts | Trade Copier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation Accounts | Unlimited | Allowed | Multiple plan combinations are allowed. |
| Sim Funded / Instant / Direct Funded | 3 | Allowed within rules | Funded accounts are limited to 3 active accounts. |
| Live Brokerage Accounts | 2 | Must respect exchange rules | If in Live Brokerage, the trader cannot trade Sim Funded at the same time. |
