BluSky TradingBluSky Trading 200K Launch: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
BluSky Trading 200K Launch ranks #1 of the 5 200K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 58. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is payouts.
One try costs $258. The evaluation needs $6,000 on a $2,000 static drawdown (1 in 4). The funded account needs $4,000 on a $2,000 static drawdown (1 in 3). Together that is about 1 in 12 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $1,485 on average (the typical plan of this size: $4,322).
A steady trader making $800 a day gets the first payout after 13 trading days and keeps $25,650 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$1,485 per first payout100
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
