BluSky Trading — frequently asked questions

What account lines does BluSky Trading offer?

Evaluations: Launch, Propel and Orbit — Launch and Propel run Evaluation → Buffer Zone → Sim Funded; Orbit skips the Buffer Zone. Instant lines: Instant Sim Funded and Direct to Funded. BluSky also runs a separate Stocks Intraday line — this page covers its futures lines.

What is Launch?

BluSky's most affordable evaluation: a subscription billed every 30 days while you evaluate (billing stops the moment you pass), plus a one-off launch fee due only once you pass — $99 (50K) · $149 (100K) · $179 (200K), payable within 14 days. 50% consistency rule in the evaluation.

What is Propel?

The same three phases as Launch with no launch fee at any point — the subscription is higher instead. Six sizes, 25K–300K, a 34% consistency rule in the evaluation (21% on the 300K) and $79 resets.

What is Orbit?

The fast track: two phases, no Buffer Zone, and the evaluation can be passed in as little as one day — but it must be passed within 30 days of purchase. One-time purchase, no subscription, no consistency rule in the evaluation; 40% applies once Sim Funded.

What are the instant lines?

Instant Sim Funded: a 50K sim funded account from day one, intraday trailing drawdown, 80/20 split. Direct to Funded: a $3,500 account with a static drawdown, 50% split for the first 30 trading days, then 80%. Neither offers resets.

What do BluSky accounts cost?

BluSky sets per-size prices in the plan picker on its own site — its help center defers pricing there, and the picker does not publish prices as text — so we mark prices “see firm site” rather than guess them.

How many BluSky accounts can I hold?

Evaluations are unlimited and copy trading is allowed. Funded accounts are capped at 3 at any time (Sim Funded, Instant Sim Funded and Direct to Funded combined), and Live Brokerage accounts at 2.

Is there a code I should use at BluSky Trading?
No type-in code — our BluSky referral (ID: PFL) is applied through our link at checkout; there is no coupon code to enter.
