Blueberry Futures vs BluSky Trading: prop firm rules compared

Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan trails the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan and BluSky Trading's Launch, Propel and Orbit plans the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan and BluSky Trading's Launch, Propel and Orbit plans a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

BluSky Trading's Launch 200K Static, Propel Static, Propel 300K Static and Orbit 200K Static plans use a static drawdown: the floor is set once, the drawdown below the starting balance, and does not move for the whole evaluation. For example, at BluSky Trading's Launch 200K Static, Propel Static, Propel 300K Static and Orbit 200K Static plans a $200,000 account starts with its floor at $198,000, $2,000 under the start.

On BluSky Trading's Orbit plan the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

Blueberry Futures and BluSky Trading have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

BluSky Trading starts the trading day at 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT).

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. BluSky Trading's Launch and Launch 200K Static plans cap any single day at 50% of total profit, so it takes at least 2 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,500 of a $3,000 target and $3,000 of a $6,000 target. BluSky Trading's Propel and Propel Static plans cap any single day at 34% of total profit, so it takes at least 3 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,020 of a $3,000 target and $2,040 of a $6,000 target. BluSky Trading's Propel 300K Static plan caps any single day at 21% of total profit, so it takes at least 5 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $4,200 of a $20,000 target. Blueberry Futures and BluSky Trading's Orbit and Orbit 200K Static plans apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

Blueberry Futures requires at least 2 trading days on Ascent and 1 on Accelerated before a pass; BluSky Trading sets no minimum number of days.

Blueberry Futures' evaluation runs for 30 days; a target not reached by then is not a pass.

Blueberry Futures and BluSky Trading differ on 3 of the evaluation rules compared here: drawdown model, consistency rule and minimum trading days. If your trades often run into open profit that you give back before closing them, start with the drawdown: Blueberry Futures trails intraday or at end of day, depending on the plan, while BluSky Trading trails at end of day or holds a static floor, depending on the plan. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: Blueberry Futures has no consistency rule; BluSky Trading caps one day at 21–50% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others. To finish in as few sessions as possible, compare the minimum days: Blueberry Futures needs 1 to 2 trading days, depending on the plan, BluSky Trading sets no minimum.

Payout terms once funded — Blueberry Futures: After 5 profitable days of $200+; BluSky Trading: Daily Mon–Fri (Launch / Propel) · every 3 trading days (Orbit). Blueberry Futures sells 2 plans: Ascent and Accelerated; BluSky Trading sells 3 plans: Launch, Propel and Orbit.
