BluSky Trading rules

Drawdown
You fail an evaluation only if you fall to the trailing minimum balance at end of day. That minimum climbs with your highest EOD balance and never drops. For a 50K account, the drawdown comes to $2,000.
Consistency requirement
Launch evaluations apply a 50% consistency rule, Propel applies 34%, and the Buffer stage sits at 34%. Orbit evaluations carry no consistency rule.
Trading news
Trading news events is allowed, but you take the risk yourself, and it will not fail the account.
Limit on accounts
You may hold up to 3 Sim Funded accounts. Breaching drawdown on 3 or more accounts may limit you to one active account.
Holding overnight and over the weekend
Traders are advised to close all trades before 4:45PM EST. About 15 minutes before the market closes, the system attempts to auto-liquidate, but there's no guarantee.
