BluSky Instant Sim Funded

Simulated, possibly live later

Evaluation, Buffer Zone and Sim Funded are simulated (per the firm, orders only reach the market in Live Brokerage); payouts are in real money. From a profit threshold (standard USD 10,000 including payouts) the Risk Team reviews a move to a Live Brokerage account. Since 1 Oct 2026 it starts at USD 0 with a drawdown by account size, and Sim Funded profits go into a "Bonus Vault" (USD 1,000 per USD 10,000 of live payouts; the rest is forfeited if the live account is breached or closed); alternatively a one-time buyout of 50% of the drawdown. If the broker rejects the account application, per the firm the account is closed immediately and the simulated profits are forfeited.

50K: USD 2,000 · trailing (intraday)

The floor follows the highest intraday equity, unrealised profit included.

Stops: Trails the highest intraday balance; locks at USD 51,000 once the balance passes USD 53,000. The account closes below USD 48,000.

≤ 21 % · best day ÷ sum of winning days

payout waits until met

The largest profitable day may be at most 21% of the sum of all profitable days; losing days are left out. Not a breach, checked at every payout request; keep trading until the share is met. Firm's example: five days of +400 and one day of −500 → profitable days 2,000, best day 20%.

The plan articles explicitly divide by the sum of profitable days. In contrast, the article "Understanding the Consistency Rule" divides by total profit, and "Evaluation Rules" describes the target rising until the best day is at most the share of the new target. The plan articles' formula is recorded.

80 %

No evaluation; payouts on any balance above USD 53,000.

daily

Daily, Monday to Friday.

USD 500

Per the firm a uniform USD 500 across all plans since 1 Oct 2026.

At most USD 2,500 in any 7-day window. At most 3 Instant Sim Funded accounts; per "Multiple Accounts" the limit of 3 “funded” accounts applies to Sim Funded, Instant Sim Funded and Direct to Funded combined.

no refund

Per the FAQ and Billing Terms the fee is non-refundable regardless of the evaluation's outcome; the firm mentions no refund with a payout anywhere.

Brokerage Review from USD 10,000 total profit including payouts (the firm lists "Instant" among the standard plans; per the firm "Instant Funding" covers Direct to Funded and Instant Sim Funded, and "Evaluation Overview" gives Sim Funded, then Brokerage for both).

Accounts inactive for 30 consecutive days may be closed at BluSky's discretion (Terms of Use). Live Brokerage: at least one trade every 30 days.

allowed

Per the firm, trading news does not fail an account ("at your own risk"); in Live Brokerage it is permitted unless the account carries a specific restriction. Tradovate may cut contract size around news via margin.

forbidden

The firm recommends closing all positions before 4:45 pm ET and expects you to take responsibility for it; the system tries to auto-liquidate about 15 minutes before the close (not guaranteed), and accounts with positions open after 5 pm ET are not adjusted. Per the firm this alone does not fail an evaluation. In Live Brokerage, positions must be closed within the permitted trading hours. The trading day rolls at 6 pm ET.

forbidden

Derived from the market-close rule (see overnight): the system liquidates before every close, the weekend included. The firm does not mention the weekend explicitly.

restricted

Trade copiers across your own accounts are allowed (unlimited evaluations, at most 3 Sim Funded, Instant or Direct to Funded accounts at a time). Copying trades from another trader, account or signal provider is forbidden by the conduct policy. Members of one household need their own accounts and machines.

forbidden

Opposite or correlated positions across accounts (your own, other people's or your household's, even at other prop firms; e.g. ES long / NQ short) are forbidden. Within one account (e.g. mini long, micro short) the policy allows it. Consequences: warning, account closure, forfeited payouts, a ban for repeat offences.
