Independent trader reviews, ratings and payout experiences for BluSky.
PROFIT SPLIT: 90% trader / 10% BluSky at all times on Sim Funded and Brokerage accounts, unless changed by a Risk Team review. Instant Funding is the exception - see below. Payouts run daily, Monday to Friday. A request made before 11 AM ET is processed the same trading day; after 11 AM it moves to the next business day. Bank transfer takes a further 1-3 business days. Paid through Gusto or Rise. There is no minimum number of trading days. What is required is one meaningful profitable day between requests - flipping contracts to manufacture a payout does not count. SIM FUNDED - minimum withdrawal $250, and the balance must be at least $250 above the starting balance. Caps run on a rolling 7-day window measured from the last approval, not a calendar week. Launch Sim Funded, starting balance / minimum balance / 7-day cap: $3,000 / $1,000 / $2,500 ($50K), $3,500 / $1,000 / $3,000 ($100K), $3,000 / $1,000 / $2,500 ($200K). Trading must stop once a withdrawal request is submitted, until the funds are removed. ORBIT SIM FUNDED - payouts every three trading days, minimum $500. Payouts unlock above / 7-day cap: $52,000 / $2,000 ($50K), $103,000 / $2,500 ($100K), $154,500 / $3,000 ($150K), $203,000 / $2,500 ($200K). The drawdown trails closed daily profit dollar-for-dollar and locks permanently at the starting balance once lifetime net profit matches the starting drawdown. After that the account cannot fail below breakeven. INSTANT FUNDING - Direct to Funded ($3,500 account): payouts on any balance above $3,500, weekly cap $3,000, split 50% for the first 30 trading days and 80% after. Instant Sim Funded ($50,000 account): payouts daily Monday to Friday on any balance above $53,000, cap $2,500 per 7-day window, split 80%. LIVE BROKERAGE - minimum withdrawal $250. The Sim Funded weekly caps come off entirely. The safety buffer, meaning the minimum account balance, is never withdrawable. Orbit Brokerage accounts start at a $0.00 baseline and can request payouts above a $100 profit threshold, but withdrawing down to that baseline closes the account, as does equity dropping below $0.00 after a request has been processed.
