Agreements
We've created new Tradovate, Rithmic, Volumetrica and Project X SIM Funded accounts. The brokerage rules stay the same, so no changes there. You can continue to trade as you did in BluLive, but now you'll be trading with a simulated balance. You can withdraw profits from your account, but you must maintain the static drawdown in your account. However, there's one important difference: if you make $10,000 in a week, you must open a support ticket to get your trading account reviewed.
If you don't, you won't get paid for anything over $10,000 and may lose the account.
Your payouts will now count toward the $10,000 threshold required to be considered for a Brokerage Account. That means every dollar you earn, whether kept in the account or withdrawn, moves you closer to going fully live.
Here's how it works:
Once you've generated a total of $10,000 in profit (from your starting balance, including any payouts you've taken), you'll need to open a support ticket to request a Brokerage Review. Our team will assess your trading and may invite you to move up to a live brokerage account. We are working on automating this in the future, but for now, you'll be responsible for tracking your total profit + payouts and submitting your request manually.
A member of the BluSky accounting department will send you the funded trader account agreement to sign and will require a valid form of government-issued ID (National Identification Card/Passport/Drivers license/Etc.)
Please ensure that it has a valid expiration date and clearly shows your Date of Birth..
Shortly after that (usually within 1-3 Trading days from the day you sign the Docusign, the estimated time frame does not include Holidays and weekends and may take longer than expected.)
For Rithmic, you will receive an email when its ready.
For Tradovate, you will receive an email when its ready.
For Project X, you will receive an email when its ready.
For Volumetrica, you will receive an email when its ready.
