Entry cost for the cheapest account each firm sells, before any live discount.
Identical on both: drawdown model.
Not comparable yet: consistency rule, daily loss limit, minimum days to a first payout, trader profit split — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.

Fig. 02 — Score breakdown
Where each firm is stronger
Each side shows the plan whose score is that firm's grade.
A dash means the factor is not scored for that plan: we have not recorded the evidence it needs, such as the firm's founding year or enough of the plan's rules. Its weight moves to the factors that are scored rather than counting as a zero.

| At $50,000 | BluSky Trading | The Trading Pit Futures |
|---|---|---|
| Max drawdown | $2,000 | Not recorded |
| Profit target | $3,000 | Not recorded |
