BluSky TradingBluSky Trading 50K Orbit: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
BluSky Trading 50K Orbit ranks #56 of the 87 50K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 45. Its strongest part is payouts, its weakest is speed.
One try costs $199. The evaluation needs $3,000 on a $2,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.2). The funded account needs $2,500 on a $2,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.7). Together that is about 1 in 8.7 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $1,729 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,431).
A steady trader making $200 a day gets the first payout after 28 trading days and keeps $9,180 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$1,729 per first payout36
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.
