Plans & pricing

Launch

2-day min. 50% eval consistency. Low monthly fee + at-launch activation.

• Monthly subscription — fee stops billing once you pass eval. Cheapest upfront cost of all BluSky eval plans.
• "At launch" fee is paid once when you pass eval and enter the Buffer (BluLive) phase — NOT upfront. This keeps eval entry cost very low.
• BluSky uses a unique 4-stage path: Evaluation → BluLive Buffer → Sim Funded → Live Brokerage. You must earn the buffer target in the Buffer phase before accessing Sim Funded payouts.
• Eval consistency: 50% (no single day ≥ 50% of profit target). Buffer consistency: 34%. Consistency is REMOVED in Sim Funded and Live Brokerage.
• Consistency violation does NOT fail account — it adjusts the profit target upward by the excess amount only. Softer penalty than most firms.
• Payout (Sim Funded): Daily Mon–Fri. Must be $250+ above starting Sim Funded balance. Min payout $250. Same-day if submitted before 11 AM ET.
• Rolling 7-day payout caps in Sim Funded: $2,500/week (50K), $3,000/week (100K), $2,500/week (200K). Max 3 Sim Funded accounts.
• Live Brokerage stage: up to $10K per account, max $30K total. No payout caps, no consistency rule in live stage.

Propel

3-day min. 34% eval consistency. No activation fee.

• Monthly subscription — no separate activation or launch fee. One price covers eval through buffer entry.
• 34% consistency enforced in both eval AND buffer (BluLive) phases. Consistency is removed in Sim Funded and Live Brokerage.
• Consistency violation adjusts profit target upward by excess amount only — does not fail account.
• Payout (Sim Funded): Daily Mon–Fri. Min $250. Same-day if before 11 AM ET. Rolling 7-day caps: $2,500/week (50K), $3,000/week (100K), $2,500/week (200K).
• ⚠️ 200K size uses STATIC drawdown and only 2 minis / 20 micros — fewer contracts than 100K.
• ⚠️ Auto-close targets ~4:45 PM ET (NOT guaranteed — you must close positions manually).
• Permitted: news trading, scalping, EAs/algorithms, copy trading. Prohibited: overnight, weekend, hedging same product, EUREX.

Orbit

1-day min. NO eval consistency rule. Easiest to pass. Payouts every 3 days.

• Monthly subscription — most expensive monthly price of all BluSky plans, but easiest eval to pass (no eval consistency rule at all).
• No consistency rule during evaluation — you can have any size day relative to your target.
• Buffer (BluLive) phase: 50% consistency. Sim Funded payouts: every 3 trading days with 40% consistency per payout.
• Consistency violation in buffer/funded adjusts target upward only — does not fail account.
• Payout (Sim Funded): every 3 trading days once 40% consistency condition met. Rolling 7-day caps still apply.
• ⚠️ 200K size uses STATIC drawdown and only 2 minis / 20 micros — fewer contracts than 100K.
• ⚠️ Auto-close targets ~4:45 PM ET (NOT guaranteed — you must close positions manually).
• Permitted: news trading, scalping, EAs/algorithms, copy trading. Prohibited: overnight, weekend, hedging same product, EUREX.

Instant Funding

No eval. One-time payment. 21% consistency. 80% split.

• One-time payment — NO monthly subscription. Skip evaluation entirely. Starts directly in funded sim.
• ⚠️ Profit split is 80/10 — NOT the 90/10 of eval plans. Lower split reflects no eval filter.
• 21% consistency rule (strictest of all BluSky plans). Consistency violation adjusts target upward, does not fail account.
• 50K Instant: EOD Trailing drawdown $2,000, soft DLL $1,000. Payouts: daily (M–F) above $53,000 buffer.
• $3.5K Instant: no trailing drawdown, DLL $2,000, 3 negative days allowed per 10. Split: 50% first 30 trading days → 80% thereafter.
• Max 3 Instant Sim Funded accounts. Rolling 7-day caps: $2,500/week (50K). Min withdrawal $250.
• ⚠️ Auto-close targets ~4:45 PM ET (NOT guaranteed — you must close positions manually).
• Permitted: news trading, scalping, EAs/algorithms. Prohibited: overnight, weekend, hedging same product, EUREX.
