BluSky Max Drawdown Rule, Explained
Rules verified 2026-07-12 · official source
BluSky's max loss line is trailing end-of-day (moves only when a day closes at a new high). Hit the line — even for a moment — and the account fails.
How the line moves
BluSky trails your end-of-day balance: the line only ratchets up when you close a trading day at a new high. Intraday swings don't move the line — but the breach is monitored in real time, so a large open loss can still fail the account mid-session.
Max loss is EOD-trailing off your highest END-OF-DAY balance — it steps up only at the daily close and never decreases. On the 50K the minimum trailing balance starts at $48,000 ($2,000 below start). HARD breach: the evaluation fails if balance hits the EOD minimum.
The numbers, by account size
Rule mechanics are identical across BluSky sizes — only the dollar amounts scale.
| Plan | Max drawdown | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 50K Premium | $2,000 | Trailing (EOD) |
| 300K Static Growth | $5,000 | Static |
How traders actually breach it
The classic breach: stacking losing days without recalculating the line from the last end-of-day high. The line doesn't reset — it remembers your best close.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.

FAQ
Is BluSky's drawdown static or trailing?
It's trailing end-of-day (moves only when a day closes at a new high).
Does open (unrealized) profit move the BluSky drawdown line?
No — the line only moves at the daily close. But breaches are checked in real time, so open losses still count against it.
What happens if I touch the BluSky max loss line?
The account fails immediately — even a momentary touch by open equity counts. There is no warning and no grace amount, which is why tracking your live distance to the line matters.
