BluSky TradingBluSky Trading 100K Orbit: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
BluSky Trading 100K Orbit ranks #39 of the 77 100K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 50. Its strongest part is payouts, its weakest is rules.
One try costs $299. The evaluation needs $6,000 on a $3,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 4.3). The funded account needs $3,500 on a $3,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.6). Together that is about 1 in 11 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $3,285 on average (the typical plan of this size: $2,601).
A steady trader making $400 a day gets the first payout after 24 trading days and keeps $19,980 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$3,285 per first payout34
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.
