Blue Guardian FAQs
Answers sourced from Blue Guardian’s own help center.
One-time-purchase evaluations in 1-Step (10% target), 2-Step Standard (12%) and 2-Step Pro (14%), and a 3-Phase Challenge (18% total), plus Instant Funding and an Instant Starter account with no evaluation at all. Sizes start at $5K and you trade forex, indices, commodities, and crypto on Match-Trader, MetaTrader 5, or TradeLocker.
The evaluation plans run a 4% daily loss with a max drawdown of 6–10% depending on the plan. On Instant accounts the daily loss is 3% (resetting at 5pm EST) with a trailing max drawdown that follows your highest closing balance. To pass an evaluation you also need at least five trading days, each with a minimum 0.5% profit.
85% by default, rising to 90% with the add-on (80% on some Instant tiers). Payouts run every 14 days, are processed within 24 business hours, and have minimums of $100 via crypto or $500 via Rise. There's even a 24-hour payout guarantee — if a payout takes longer than 24 business hours, you receive a 100% profit share on it. A 7-Day Payout add-on can bring your first payout forward to 7 days after your first trade.
Yes — a 15% consistency rule, meaning no single trading day's profit may equal or exceed 15% of your total profits. You must be below that threshold, above your initial balance, and free of rule violations to request a payout.
An automatic safety mechanism: on evaluation accounts it closes all open trades if losses reach 1%, and on funded accounts it triggers at 2% floating loss, encouraging disciplined risk management before a hard breach can occur.
News trading is allowed during the challenge phases but restricted from five minutes before to five minutes after high-impact news on funded accounts. There are no restrictions on holding trades overnight or over weekends. EAs and third-party trade copiers are allowed provided they comply with the rules, and copy trading is permitted only between accounts you legally own. Tick scalping is limited by a 2-minute minimum holding time — trades closed faster may be flagged.
You can hold multiple funded accounts up to a combined $400,000 allocation. The Scaling Plan then lets you grow up to a maximum of $4,000,000, starting once you achieve the required profit milestone.
Yes — the evaluation fee is fully refunded after your fourth payout, provided the account is not hard-breached before then.
You must be 18 or older, and some countries are restricted (including Afghanistan, Algeria, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea). Your evaluation starts on your first trade, accounts must be traded at least once every 30 days to stay active, and all accounts are demo accounts using real market quotes in a simulated environment. KYC is required before your first payout on Instant and Funded accounts (not on Instant Starter), and a signed Blue Guardian Trader Agreement is needed before a funded account is issued.
