BluSky Direct to Funded has no payout buffer

The $2,500 on BluSky's Direct to Funded account is its static drawdown, not a payout buffer.

Published Oct 13, 20261 min read

BluSky's Direct to Funded account starts at a $3,500 balance and can pay out on any balance above that start. The $2,500 that sits alongside it is the account's static drawdown, not a buffer that has to be cleared first: the account closes if the balance falls below $1,000.

The rest of the account, a one-time purchase with no resets:
