BluSky Trading is one of the more proven futures firms around — a real US company (since 2022) with 4.8★ across 800+ reviews, $10M+ paid out, a 90% split and same-day daily payouts (Mon–Fri before 11 AM ET). It funds traders through an evaluation (min 8 days) into a live brokerage account on Tradovate or Sweet Futures, with account sizes from $25K to $300K. Two things to know: it's billed monthly like Topstep (you pay until you pass, from ~$49 on the Launch plans), and it enforces a strict 30% best-day consistency rule. The Premium accounts trail (end-of-day), but the Static Growth plans give you a fixed drawdown — a rare option in futures. Compare the plans and rules below and confirm the live terms before buying.
Good to know before you buy
- Drawdown — The Premium and standard evaluations use an end-of-day trailing max loss that follows your highest end-of-day balance and never moves down; the separate Static Growth Plans give you a fixed drawdown for the whole evaluation. Pick a Static Growth plan to avoid trailing.
- Consistency rule — A strict 30% best-day rule during the evaluation — no single day may exceed 30% of your profit target (tighter than the usual 40–50%). You can pass in as few as 4 days once you meet it, with a minimum of 8 trading days.
