BluSky TradingBluSky Trading 150K Propel: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
BluSky Trading 150K Propel ranks #30 of the 71 150K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 53. Its strongest part is speed, its weakest is rules.
One try costs $170. The evaluation needs $3,000 on a $1,000 static drawdown (1 in 4). The funded account needs $3,000 on a $1,000 static drawdown (1 in 4). Together that is about 1 in 16 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $2,720 on average (the typical plan of this size: $3,347).
A steady trader making $600 a day gets the first payout after 10 trading days and keeps $15,750 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$2,720 per first payout67
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.
