Who is this for?
Orbit has no consistency rule in the evaluation and can be passed in one day. You do have 30 days and a reset does not extend that.
Launch has a low start through the monthly subscription, but a Launch fee follows when you pass, plus a Buffer Zone. Work out the total cost.
Payout requests are possible Monday to Friday, within the cap per 7 days and the balance requirements.
Prop firm evaluations cost money and the rules require risk-management experience. Practise on a demo account first.

Payout policies
BluSky states a 90% profit split on payouts (10% to BluSky), unless a Risk Team Review changes it. You can request from Monday to Friday; a request before 11 AM ET is processed the same trading day and the transfer takes 1-3 business days. Your balance must be above the starting balance, with at least $500 per request ($250 on Propel) and one meaningful winning day between requests. There is a cap per 7 days, for example $2,500 on a 50K Launch or Propel Sim Funded account and $2,000 on a 50K Orbit. Orbit requires 40% consistency and allows requests every 3 trading days. Payouts go through Gusto or Rise; claim a request within 30 days or it is forfeited. Outside the US you submit a W-8BEN. The account is simulated; payouts are not guaranteed.
Scaling plan
On Sim Funded and Live Brokerage accounts your contract limit can grow (see the scaling article in the BluSky help centre). Orbit Sim Funded has smaller contract limits than the evaluation (for example 2 minis on 50K versus 5 minis in the evaluation). From 1 October 2026 a new Live account starts at $0; your Sim Funded profits then go into a Bonus Vault. Details and current tables are in the help centre.

- Allowed
Evaluation: EOD trailing minimum balance (50K: $2,000, 100K: $2,500, Orbit 100K $3,000, 150K $4,500) or static (Propel 150K $1,000, 200K $2,000, 300K $5,000). No daily loss limit in the evaluation. Orbit Sim Funded drawdown trails closed daily profit and locks at the starting balance once earned back.
Risk details
In the evaluation you fail in one way: your balance touches the drawdown threshold. On most plans this is an EOD trailing minimum balance (for example $2,000 on 50K) that rises with your highest closing balance and never falls. Some plans (Propel 150K-300K and 200K) have a static drawdown. There is no daily loss limit in the evaluation. Using too many contracts does not fail the account, but BluSky may liquidate, restart or refuse Live access if you get around the limit. Close all positions before 4:45 PM ET: the system tries to liquidate around the close, but that is not guaranteed, and positions after 5 PM ET are not corrected. Instant Funding has stricter rules, such as an intraday drawdown and 21% consistency.
