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.

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 |
| $100,000 | $159 | $149 | $8,000 (8%) | $4,000 | 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.

Mixed Feelings Honestly
Went in for teh cheap eval mostly to see what all the fuss was about. fees are mid range, not the cheapest and not the worst. support was polite enough but every reply came a full day apart. spreads are tighter than my last firm but execution is a touch slower. man i got my refund on the eval fee but only after i specifically asked for it.
mixed feelings overall
trading forex for years but new to the prop side of things. i can live with the spreads, the overnight financing is what surprises people. i passed phase one then immediately fumbled phase two before pulling it back in the last week. my account got funded but the credentials email took a day to arrive. the eval gave me plenty of time, the funded phase felt rushed by comparison. platform works but it doesnt save my chart layouts between sessions. not a scam, not great, just a lot of small annoyances that add up.
decent for the price
wanted a firm with a platform i already knew how to use. teh scaling targets are achievable but the timeline is longer than the marketing implies. man the rules pdf is thorough but it realy needs a summary at the top. the news trading rule confused me at first but the faq actually explains why it exists. weekend holding is allowed which i liked but the swap fees stack up fast. the scaling plan looks generous until you read the conditions attached. the rules are okay once you actually understand them, which takes a while.
nice eval rough funded stage
Came across this firm in a discord i'm in and gave it a shot. the discord is active but the staff answers are mostly copy paste. withdrawal fees are small but they exist where other firms eat them. good spreads on forex, indices are wider than i expected. price feed mostly matched my broker but gold printed some weird wicks. the platform disconnected on me twice during news, nothing lost but not a great feeling. payouts work but the dashboard doesnt show a clear status while you wait. would i recommend? depends entirely on how patient you are with support.
does the job
Not gonna lie i went in expecting the worst. drawdown rules are clear, the part that got me was how the buffer shrinks. the funded rules are stricter than the eval which caught me off guard. the drawdown rule is fair but the way they calculate it is buried three faqs deep. spreads are ok on majors but the exotics are basically untradeable.
good value, slow site
Took the plunge after lurking their subreddit for weeks. fees are transparent at least … even if theyre not the lowest around. kyc went through but it asked for a second proof of address i had to dig up. the dashboard looks clean but half the stats i actually want arent on it. support was helpful once i got through, getting through was the hard part. the mobile app logs me out every other day which gets old fast. they get a maybe from me, which is more than most firms get.
cautiously recommend
first prop firm i actually stuck with long enough to get funded. spreads on majors are reasonable … gold is where they widen out on you. the rules are reasonable, the problem is finding them all in one place. platform execution is solid but the economic calendar built in is barely usable. challenge rules were clear but the faq contradicted them in one spot. withdrawal request was approved quick but the bank leg took three days. if you treat it like a business and not a casino you will probably be ok here.
read the rules first
Got in through an affiliate link from a trader i follow, no shame. consistency rule almost got me once because i did not read the fine print … my bad not theirs. the trailing drawdown is honest but it punishes you for giving back profit. payouts are reliable so far but the schedule is biweekly not on demand. withdrawal request was approved quick but the bank leg took three days. the app notifications are useful but they fire late sometimes. fair rules but clunky platform … your mileage will vary.
jury is still out
I am a swing trader so the overnight and weekend rules mattered most to me. support knows their stuff but you wait in a queue to reach them. the dashboard updates balance fast but the trade history lags behind. i got funded on the second try, the firm was fair about the reset at least. withdrawals work but the minimum payout threshold is higher than i would like. drawdown is calculated on balance not equity which is fine once you adjust but nobody tells you upfront. fine for a first eval … would not bet my rent on it though.
Better Than I Expected
Picked these guys mostly because of teh discount code floating around. the challenge target felt achievable with proper risk … not some gambling threshold. payout came through with zero fees deducted … what i requested is what i recieved. idk but execution during london open has been clean even when spreads widen everywhere else. their server uptime during the last nfp was flawless from where i sat. i hit up support on a saturday night fully expecting silence and someone replied in maybe ten minutes. four stars from me … knocking one off purely for the dated dashboard.
