Does BluSky Trading Have a Daily Loss Limit?
The Simple Answer
No, not as a fixed rule. BluSky states there is only one way to fail an evaluation, and that is falling below your minimum trailing balance. There is no set daily loss limit on evaluations. On Sim Funded accounts you can set your own daily loss limit if you trade the Volumetrica route, and BluSky reserves the right to add one as a risk control.
Below is a breakdown of how the BluSky Trading daily loss limit applies across every account type the firm offers.
Daily Loss Limit by Account Type
Breakdown by Account Type
Evaluation accounts, all plans
BluSky is unusually direct about this. Its evaluation rules article states there is only one way to fail the evaluation, and that is falling below the minimum balance, which is an end-of-day trailing figure. On a 50K account that starts at 48,000, trailing by 2,000, and it rises with your highest end-of-day balance but never falls back. No daily loss limit sits on top of it, so a single bad session only ends your evaluation if it takes you all the way through the trailing floor.
What BluSky says will not fail you
Three things that end accounts at other firms do not end one here. Trading news events is allowed at your own risk. Using too many contracts will not fail you, since BluSky limits your size automatically where it can, though it will liquidate, restart the account or deny brokerage entry if you deliberately work around the limit. Trading the wrong hours will not fail you either, but BluSky recommends closing everything before 4:45 PM EST because its auto-liquidation is not guaranteed and it will not adjust accounts with open positions after 5 PM EST.
Sim Funded accounts
Once you are Sim Funded the picture changes slightly. There is still no standard daily loss limit, but on the Volumetrica route you can set your own, which is worth doing. BluSky also states plainly that it may impose additional risk controls including contract caps and daily loss limits, and that traders who breach drawdown limits on three or more Sim Funded or Live Brokerage accounts can be restricted to a single active account at the risk team discretion.
The profit-side limits people forget
BluSky does apply hard stops on the upside on Sim Funded accounts, which catches traders out because they read the rules looking only for loss limits. You must stop trading for the day after 5,000 dollars in daily profit, and stop for the week after 10,000 dollars in weekly profit, which also triggers a review.
Final Comments
Because BluSky has no standard daily loss limit, the number that actually matters is your minimum trailing balance. You can watch it live: on Rithmic use the Auto Liquidate Threshold Value in R Trader Pro, and on Tradovate use the Drawdown Auto Liq column in the Accounts tab.
A daily loss limit is the rule most traders breach first, usually on a day they were already losing. Know your number before the session starts, and check it against your own platform rather than assuming the firm will stop you in time.
