Blue Guardian Futures review

All Blue Guardian Futures' future instruments available on their platform, including contract specifications, commissions, and trading fees, can be found here: https://helpfutures.blueguardian.com/en/articles/14095336-futures-instrument-list-codes

Blue Guardian Futures offers multiple futures account types, including Standard, Rapid, Pro, and Instant Standard accounts. Rules may vary by account type, so traders should review the specific account parameters shown at checkout and inside their dashboard before trading.

Traders may hold up to 3 Funded Accounts at one time. Blue Guardian Futures states that additional accounts beyond this limit may continue to require the standard monthly fee for that account type.

Funded accounts cannot be reset. The starting balance in the Funded stage matches the starting balance of the purchased or evaluation account.

To keep a Funded Account active, traders must place at least one trade within each seven-day period. Failing to trade within this timeframe may cause the account to be marked inactive and breached. Traders who need an extended break or vacation should contact Blue Guardian Futures support ahead of time.

Standard accounts use an EOD drawdown model, allow micro scaling, and do not show a scaling rule in the current checkout modal. Standard accounts have a 5-day payout period and a 40% consistency rule.

Rapid accounts are designed for faster payout access and allow payout requests every 3 days. Rapid accounts do not require a minimum number of winning days before requesting a payout.

Instant Standard accounts skip the evaluation phase and use a 20% consistency rule. Instant Standard accounts require 5 winning days before payout eligibility.

Pro accounts do not use traditional payout targets. Instead, Pro accounts use a funded buffer model where traders may withdraw 50% of total profits above the funded buffer after meeting payout requirements. Pro accounts require 5 winning days and use a 35% consistency rule.

Major news trading is restricted. Traders should not trade through high-impact or red-folder news events unless Blue Guardian Futures’ current news policy explicitly allows it. Traders should review the firm’s news trading policy before trading around scheduled economic releases.

Traders must follow all prohibited conduct rules. Strategies that abuse the simulated environment, exploit platform issues, use unrealistic execution behavior, or otherwise violate Blue Guardian Futures’ trading policies may result in account review or breach.

Blue Guardian Futures applies different consistency rules depending on the account type.

Standard accounts have a 40% consistency rule. This means that no single trading day’s profit may exceed 40% of the total profit during the payout cycle.

Pro accounts have a 35% consistency rule.

Instant Standard accounts have a 20% consistency rule.

Consistency resets after each payout request, just like the payout target resets after each payout request.

Some Blue Guardian Futures accounts include a Daily Loss Limit. The impact of the Daily Loss Limit depends on the account type.

Standard accounts show a Daily Loss Limit as a hard breach in the current checkout modal. For example, the 50K Standard account shows a $1,250 Daily Loss Limit as a hard breach, and the 100K Standard account shows a $2,000 Daily Loss Limit as a hard breach.

Instant Standard accounts show the Daily Loss Limit as a soft breach. A soft breach may restrict trading, but it does not automatically terminate the account.

Traders must also remain within the account’s maximum drawdown. Standard accounts use an EOD drawdown model. Current checkout examples show the 50K Standard account with a $2,500 maximum drawdown, the 100K Standard account with a $3,500 maximum drawdown, and the 150K Standard account with a $5,000 maximum loss.

When a trader requests their first payout, the account’s maximum drawdown adjusts to the starting balance plus $100. Traders should maintain enough flexibility in the account after requesting a payout to avoid placing the account too close to its drawdown limit.

Blue Guardian Futures offers a 100% profit split on the first $15,000 in profits. After that, payouts are paid at a 90% profit split.

The minimum payout is $500 on all account types.

Payout requests are accepted Monday through Friday before 3 PM CST. Payouts are processed within 24 business hours through Riseworks. If they fail to meet that timeframe, the trader automatically receives a $200 bonus upon payout. The guarantee is based on business hours, not calendar hours.

The timer is paused during weekends.

Their office hours are Monday 9:00 AM to Friday 5:00 PM Dubai time.

Processing may be extended during weekends and bank holidays.

Issues involving compliance checks, risk reviews, or lack of timely trader response, including onboarding with Rise, do not qualify for the reward.

Blue Guardian Futures charges a 2% payout processing fee. The final amount received may be lower than the payout amount shown on the payout certificate due to the processing fee and any applicable payment provider charges.

Rapid accounts may request payouts every 3 days. Rapid accounts do not require a minimum number of winning days before payout eligibility.

Pro and Instant Standard accounts require 5 winning days before a payout can be requested. The minimum winning day amount depends on account size and may be $100, $200, or $300.

For Rapid, Standard, and Instant Standard accounts, traders must reach a payout profit target before requesting a payout. The payout target resets after each payout request.

The first payout requires a profit target equal to 6% of the account starting balance.

The second payout requires a profit target equal to 4% of the account starting balance.

The third payout and all future payouts require a profit target equal to 4% of the account starting balance.

$25,000 account: $1,500 first payout target, then $1,000 for the second payout and beyond.
