Legends Trading Group vs BluSky Trading: prop firm rules compared

On Legends Trading Group 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 Legends Trading Group 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.

Legends Trading Group 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. Legends Trading Group's Apprentice and Straight-to-Master plans cap any single day at 30% of total profit, so it takes at least 4 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $900 of a $3,000 target. 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. BluSky Trading's Orbit and Orbit 200K Static plans apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

Legends Trading Group requires at least 4 trading days on Apprentice and 10 on Straight-to-Master before a pass; BluSky Trading sets no minimum number of days.

Legends Trading Group 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: Legends Trading Group trails at end of day, 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: Legends Trading Group caps one day at 30% of total profit; 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: Legends Trading Group needs 4 to 10 trading days, depending on the plan, BluSky Trading sets no minimum.
