BlueSky Trading Company

What BlueSky Trading Company does

BluSky Trading Company LLC is a proprietary trading firm founded in 2022 and headquartered at 7901 4th St N Ste 300, St. Petersburg, Florida. The company operates a funded futures and stocks trading platform, providing individual traders with access to simulated and live trading capital (ranging from $2K for stock plans up to $300K for futures evaluations) in exchange for evaluation fees and a 90/10 profit split. Its core product is a multi-stage progression system comprising evaluation programs (Propel, Launch, and Orbit V2 variants), a BluLive/Buffer stage, Sim Funded Accounts (SFA), Instant Sim Funded, and ultimately live brokerage accounts routed through Tradovate and Sweet Futures partnerships.

The technology stack is built around a cloud-based trader dashboard and integrates with multiple third-party trading platforms including Rithmic, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Volumetrica, Quantower, ATAS, Tradesea, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, TickBlaze, and DeepCharts. Proprietary mechanics include the Orbit V2 evaluation architecture (subscription-free, 30-day window, $0 starting balance, same-day pass potential), the Profit Vault bonus system, and rules engines enforcing consistency ratios (21%-50%), trailing drawdowns, and payout caps. KYC/AML is handled via Veriff for live brokerage onboarding. No public API or developer access is offered.

The business model is product-led and self-serve: traders purchase evaluation challenges directly through trader.blusky.pro, pay recurring subscription fees on certain legacy plans, or one-time fees on Orbit V2. Revenue is generated from (1) evaluation and challenge fees ($199-$497 range), (2) Sim Funded reset fees ($599-$1,199), and (3) a 10% profit share on funded trader earnings. Payment settlement is handled by Odeonpay ALE S.R.L. (Paysagi) as Merchant of Record, with payouts processed via Gusto or Rise Pay. The company is bootstrapped and privately held, with no disclosed venture or institutional capital.

Direct peers

• FTMO: FTMO is the largest and best-known proprietary trading evaluation firm globally, offering funded futures and forex accounts with multi-phase evaluations and profit splits. BluSky competes directly for the same retail trader base, and its 90/10 split and Orbit V2 structure are positioned against FTMO's evaluation programs.
• True Forex Funds: True Forex Funds offers evaluation and instant funding programs for futures and FX traders, with profit splits comparable to BluSky's 90/10. It targets the same retail trader demographic and competes on evaluation pricing and payout flexibility.
• Apex Trader Funding: Apex Trader Funding is a leading futures prop firm offering evaluation challenges that lead to funded accounts via Tradovate connectivity. Like BluSky, Apex targets individual futures traders, supports Tradovate and NinjaTrader, and uses a similar profit-split revenue model.
• MyFundedFX: MyFundedFX is a futures and FX prop firm operating multi-phase evaluations and funded accounts. Although it rebranded after operational disruption, it remains a competing platform for retail futures traders considering evaluation-based prop firms alongside BluSky.
• Earn2Trade: Earn2Trade operates futures evaluation programs (Gauntlet and Trader Career Path) that grant funded accounts upon passing. Like BluSky, it serves retail futures traders, uses simulated phases, and splits profits with successful evaluators.
• FundedNext: FundedNext is a global prop firm running Stellar and Evaluation challenges that grant funded accounts in futures, forex, and equities. Its pricing tiers, profit splits, and self-serve checkout overlap closely with BluSky's Launch, Propel, and Orbit programs.
• The Trading Pit: The Trading Pit is a multi-asset prop firm providing evaluation programs and funded accounts across futures, forex, and CFDs. It competes directly for retail traders seeking capital-funded futures trading with structured evaluation, mirroring BluSky's core offering.
• Topstep: Topstep is one of the longest-running futures-focused prop firms offering Trading Combine evaluation programs to qualify traders for funded accounts. BluSky's futures evaluation product line competes head-to-head with Topstep's Combine, particularly in CME futures markets.

Emerging players

• TradeDay: TradeDay is a futures-focused prop firm offering evaluation challenges and funded accounts via Rithmic and Devexpert. It is a smaller peer addressing the same niche as BluSky, particularly for traders using Rithmic-connected platforms.

Broad incumbents

• Interactive Brokers (IBKR): Interactive Brokers is a major multi-asset retail broker providing funded-style margin, futures, and equities trading globally. While not a pure prop firm, it represents the incumbent brokerage destination traders may migrate to after leaving evaluation programs and contextualizes BluSky's brokerage-partner model.
