Blue Sky – Prop Firm Review

- Exceptional backing for elite performers
- Rapid capital scaling after success
- Outstanding profit sharing arrangement available
- Authentic trader-focused growth opportunities
Firm Overview
BluSky Trading (blusky.pro) is a futures-only prop firm based in Florida, founded in 2022. Its core differentiator is a four-stage progression model that actually leads to a live brokerage account with real capital — not just simulated payouts indefinitely. The stages are: (1) Evaluation — pass your profit target; (2) BluLive — buffer stage building a profit cushion before withdrawals; (3) Sim Funded — simulated funded account with real payouts; (4) Live Brokerage — real capital via partners Tradovate, Sweet Futures, or Plus500 (unlocked after $10,000 cumulative profit).
BluSky is also notable for including a free NinjaTrader license with every account (evaluation through sim funded), offering daily payout processing, and providing the choice between trailing and static drawdown models.
Evaluation Plans
| Plan Type | Drawdown Style | Accounts From | Fee From | Min Trading Days | Profit Split |

| Static Evaluation | Fixed drawdown (never moves) | $25,000 | ~$151/mo (30 days) | 4 days | 90% |
| Direct 2 Funded | Trailing | $25,000 | One-time fee | None | 50% first 30 days, then 90% |
Maximum account size: $300,000. Up to 5 active accounts. P&L rolls over on subscription renewal — no automatic reset unless you choose one. Free reset on each monthly renewal or $85 manual reset.
Four-Stage Funding Model
- Stage 1 — Evaluation: Hit your profit target, trade minimum 4 days, stay above drawdown. News trading allowed.
- Stage 2 — BluLive: Buffer stage. Build a profit cushion in a simulated environment before moving to full funded status. Reduces the chance of blowing up immediately after passing.
- Stage 3 — Sim Funded Account: Real payouts from simulated trading. Daily withdrawals via Deel (ACH, PayPal, Coinbase, Binance, and more). No minimum trading days to withdraw. Minimum $250 eligible profit required.
- Stage 4 — Live Brokerage Account: Requires $10,000 cumulative simulated profit. No setup fee. Real capital via Tradovate, Sweet Futures, or Plus500. Exchange data fees apply (~$140/month per exchange).

Why Choose BluSky Trading?
BluSky is the best choice for futures traders who want daily payouts, a free NinjaTrader license, and the genuine option to eventually trade real capital through a live brokerage account. The four-stage model is more structured than most firms and the Static drawdown option removes the frustration of a rising floor. The 30% consistency rule and the $300K account cap are the main limitations. For serious intraday futures traders who value fast payouts and platform breadth, BluSky competes directly with Tradeify and MFFU.
