Who Is This Firm For?
About Blue Guardian Futures
EOD drawdown means your floor locks at end of day, not mid-session when you're down 0.8% on an NQ trade that's about to reverse. No time limits means no artificial urgency. And 100% of the first $15K in profits goes entirely to you before the 90% split kicks in — which is either a generous incentive or a sign they're confident most traders won't get there. Either way, it works in your favor.
68% five-star across 2,182 Trustpilot reviews is the kind of number that's hard to manufacture and hard to argue with. Scale to $400K through account merging, one-time fees from $55, and a Hidden Rules Meter of 2.4 — one of the lowest scores we've given.
This one's actually straightforward. Don't overthink it.

Wanted a firm with a platform i already knew how to use. i got funded fine but the scaling requirements are steeper than they look. i appreciated the free retry but it came with a stricter target. scaling is there but…— Verified Trader (jae r.) See all reviews
What is the profit split at Blue Guardian Futures?|Blue Guardian Futures pays 100% of the first $15,000 in profits, then 90% on all profits after that threshold. This applies per account, and the structure rewards traders who reach funded status and build from there.
What drawdown type does Blue Guardian Futures use?|All evaluation phases use End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown — your floor is locked at the end of each trading session, not mid-session. There are no intraday trailing drawdown restrictions.
Are there time limits or minimum trading days?|No. Blue Guardian Futures has no time limits and no minimum trading days on any model. You pass when you hit the profit target while staying within drawdown rules.
Can I scale my account?|Yes. Blue Guardian Futures allows account merging and scaling up to a combined $400,000 across multiple accounts.
What account sizes are available?|$25,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000. The $25K size is 2-Step only. $50K, $100K, and $150K offer both 1-Step and 2-Step options.
Is news trading allowed?|There is no explicit news trading ban. However, a boom or bust approach — where account success relies on a single trade or series of trades around a major news event — is classified as prohibited conduct. Standard directional news trading within normal risk parameters is permitted.

Blue Guardian Futures — Trading Conditions
Blue Guardian Futures runs on the same T&C as Blue Guardian CFD — same Dubai-registered company, same EOD drawdown philosophy, and a profit structure that actually makes sense. Four models, four account sizes, and discounts ranging from 35% to 70% that make the listed prices largely decorative.

| Account Size | Fee | Profit Target | Daily Limit | Max Drawdown | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $152 | $3,000 (6%) | None | $2,000 | 100% first $15K, 90% after |

▪ Drawdown: EOD | No daily loss limit — more intraday flexibility than Standard | No time limits
Pro is the Standard model with the daily loss limit removed. If your strategy involves intraday volatility that occasionally breaches daily limits before recovering — Pro is the one to consider.
Guardian — 1-Step | EOD Drawdown | 8% Target | Activation Fee on Passing
| Account Size | Reset Fee | Activation Fee | Profit Target | Max Drawdown | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $39 | $49 | $2,000 (8%) | $1,000 | 100% first $15K, 90% after |
| $50,000 | $79 | $99 | $4,000 (8%) | $2,000 | 100% first $15K, 90% after |

| $150,000 | $239 | $199 | $12,000 (8%) | $6,000 | 100% first $15K, 90% after |
▪ Drawdown: EOD | Higher profit target (8%) | Activation fee paid on passing — not upfront
Guardian has the lowest upfront cost in the lineup because part of the fee is deferred to an activation fee on passing. If you fail, you pay less. If you pass, you pay the activation fee before going live. Factor that into your total cost calculation.

Final Take
Blue Guardian Futures offers four distinct models that cover most trading styles — Standard for the straightforward path, Pro for intraday flexibility, Guardian for the lowest upfront cost, and Instant for traders who'd rather skip the evaluation entirely and accept tighter drawdown rules in exchange.
The 100% split on the first $15K applies across all models. EOD drawdown applies across all evaluation models. No time limits applies across all evaluation models. That level of consistency across a four-model lineup is rarer than it sounds.
The risk review clause at payout and the multiple accounts prohibition are the two T&C sections worth reading. Neither is unusual — but both are enforced. The 68% five-star rate across 2,182 Trustpilot reviews suggests most traders don't encounter them. The 18% one-star rate suggests some do.
Check current pricing before purchasing — promotional discounts of 35–70% run frequently and the listed fees are baseline, not standard.

chargeback filed
Been burned by a sketchy firm before so i went in cautious this time. the trailing drawdown ate my profit while i was flat and out of the market. they changed the rules mid challenge and applied them retroactively. they claim i used a prohibited ea but i traded every position by hand. two months funded and the promised scaling still hasn't kicked in. the daily loss limit counts floating drawdown which is never how the marketing explains it. worst firm i have touched, take your money literally anywhere else.
solid platform, no surprises
Jumped in during a 30% off promo, figured worst case i learn something. execution during london open is tight enough to scalp if you are into that. they paused my consistency tracker when i asked for a couple weeks off, super flexible. the mobile app stays synced with desktop so i can check positions on the go without lag. you can request a payout any day once youre funded, no waiting for some fixed cycle. a year of payouts later and i still have nothing bad to say.
three stars feels right
Honestly just wanted to see if any of these prop firms are legit at all. platform execution is solid but the economic calendar built in is barely usable. support eventually answered but it took three follow ups to get a real human. the profit target felt fair but the minimum trading days dragged it out. payout processing is fine but you have to hit a minimum balance first. kyc took four days and two resubmissions which is longer than anywhere else i used. jury is still out, the payout helped their case but barely.
one more payout decides it
My first funded account ever was with these guys so i am a bit biased. consistency rule almost got me once because i did not read the fine print, my bad not theirs. fees are transparent at least, even if theyre not the lowest around. fees crept up since i joined and the retake discount quietly got smaller. weekend holding is allowed which i liked but the swap fees stack up fast. passing was easier than the funded account which flips the difficulty on its head. i would only send a friend here with a long list of warnings.
half good half frustrating
Chose them after reading through a comparison thread. support knows their stuff but you wait in a queue to reach them. they cap teh max lot size which annoyed me at first but it protects you. man payout processing is fine but you have to hit a minimum balance first. the platform does the job but it freezes for a second or two when news drops. the mobile app logs me out every other day which gets old fast. passable, nothing here screams stay but nothing screams run either.
glad i picked these guys
Switched over when my old firm raised their fees. the minimum trading days is low so you can get funded fast if youre actually profitable. their mobile app is basic but it does let me check my account on the go. the dashboard shows my drawdown buffer in real time so i never have to guess how much room is left. the withdrawal request i submitted on a tuesday was sitting in my bank by thursday morning. repeat customer here so take that for what it is worth.
love the eval hate the dashboard
got the account as a gift and decided to actually use it. fees crept up since i joined and the retake discount quietly got smaller. the challenge was doable but the time pressure made me overtrade a bit. withdrawals work but the minimum payout threshold is higher than most firms. the eval target was reasonable … the max daily loss is where it gets tight.
Manage Your Expectations
Needed a new firm after my last one shut down. half the rules are fine, the other half feel like they were written to trip you up. verification cleared but they asked me to re record the video once. passing was easier than the funded account which flips the difficulty on its head. the platform does the job but it freezes for a second or two when news drops. pricing is not the cheapest but you kind of pay for the peace of mind. payouts come but slowly, so patience is part of the deal here.
mostly happy few gripes
Been with this firm for a few months now so i figure i owe an honest review. execution is fine in normal conditions, gets a little slippery around the open. platform is stable enough but charting tools are pretty basic. the platform is reliable, i just wish they offered more than one option. payouts landed eventually though the processing took longer than the 24 hours they promise. decent eval, shakier funded experience, make of that what you will.
stay far away
Took teh plunge after lurking thier subreddit for a couple weeks. spread spikes always seem to hit a few seconds before major news drops. they moved my drawdown level up after a winning day so my buffer basically vanished. they blame my broker for the slippage but it's their own server. tbh they removed my profits for "gap trading" on a position i opened mid session. the marketing is a 9, the firm is a 3, you do the math.
