BluSky Trading

Firm Overview

BluSky Trading has emerged as a compelling option in the futures prop trading space, earning attention for its daily payout system — a rarity in the industry — and its trader-friendly consistency rule that adjusts profit targets rather than penalizing violations. The US-based firm offers funded accounts with both Premium (trailing drawdown) and Static (fixed drawdown) evaluation options, plus a Direct 2 Funded path for traders who want to skip the evaluation entirely.

Despite being a relatively newer firm with 180 reviews and a 4.2-star rating, BluSky has made strategic choices that differentiate it from the crowded field. The firm provides free access to NinjaTrader and Tradovate platforms while also supporting TradingView and Rithmic connections. Their support structure includes personalized coaching, mentorship, and an exclusive Discord community with a daily trading room — resources that many larger competitors don’t offer.

The 90% profit split is competitive for a firm in this price range, and the ability to start receiving daily payouts once funded makes BluSky particularly attractive for traders who prioritize rapid access to their earnings.

Instruments and Assets

BluSky Trading focuses exclusively on futures contracts, supporting all major CME Group products through NinjaTrader Brokerage and Rithmic connections. Traders can access equity indices, energy, metals, currencies, and agricultural futures, with micro contracts available for precise position sizing.

Leverage

Standard 1:10 futures leverage applies. Position sizing scales with account size, following standard exchange-based contract limits.

Commissions

Commission rates follow the standard NinjaTrader Brokerage / Rithmic fee structure. There are no hidden activation fees for funded accounts — a notable advantage over competitors like Topstep and Apex that charge separate activation fees. The primary cost is the monthly evaluation fee, with resets available for an additional charge.

Consistency Rules

BluSky’s consistency rule is uniquely designed to be trader-friendly. If you exceed the maximum consistency amount in a single trading day, your profit target is increased by the excess amount rather than resulting in a violation or account breach. Specific limits may require that the largest single-day profit doesn’t exceed 21-30% of total net profits, depending on the account type.

This “soft” consistency mechanism is less punitive than competitors and allows traders to have occasional big days without risking their evaluation progress.

Firm Rules

• Premium Evaluations: End-of-day trailing drawdown
• Static Evaluations: Fixed drawdown that doesn’t trail — appreciated for predictability
• Direct 2 Funded: Skip evaluation entirely for immediate funding
• Minimum 8 trading days for evaluation
• No minimum trading days for payout requests once funded
• Daily loss limits removed once funded
• News trading allowed during evaluations
• No overnight positions — system auto-liquidates 15 minutes before market close

Challenges

Challenge	Account Size	Price	Profit Target	Drawdown
$50K Premium	$50,000	~$109	$3,000	$2,500 (trailing)
$50K Static	$50,000	~$149	$3,000	$2,000 (fixed)
$100K Premium	$100,000	~$199	$6,000	$3,000 (trailing)
$150K Premium	$150,000	~$299	$9,000	$4,500 (trailing)

No time limit on evaluations. Two drawdown types available — Premium (trailing) is cheaper, Static (fixed) costs more but is more forgiving.

Payout Policy

• 90% profit split for funded traders (some instant accounts may start at 50/50 for first 30 days, then move to 80/20)
• Daily payouts — requests submitted before 11:00 AM EST on weekdays are processed same day
• Minimum withdrawal: $250
• No maximum withdrawal limit after initial payout
• Processing via bank transfer and crypto
• Free platform access to NinjaTrader and Tradovate included

The daily payout system is BluSky’s standout feature, allowing funded traders to access their profits every single business day rather than waiting for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly processing cycles.
