Blueberry Futures Review 2026 — Broker-Backed Futures Prop Firm, Rules & Payouts | PropTradingArea

BlueBerry Futures

2.8 (62 reviews) Futures Trust: 2.9/5 Updated

Blueberry Futures is the futures arm of the Blueberry group — broker-backed, which sounds reassuring until you read the graduation requirements. Two evaluation paths, four account sizes, and a funded journey that ends when you've completed 7 payout cycles or withdrawn $28,000. Not when you pass the challenge. When they say so.

News Traders No explicit ban — bracketing data releases prohibited, behavioral enforcement applies

About BlueBerry Futures

In practice, the product is new enough that the community feedback is still thin. Five Trustpilot reviews, 80% of which are one-star, is not a track record. It's a data point worth noting.

The evaluation structure is straightforward — two paths, four account sizes, 90% profit split, no activation fee. The rules are what you'd expect from a serious futures firm: no VPN, no HFT, no bracketing data releases, and a hard cap of 200 trades per day.

The part most traders don't read before buying: passing the evaluation is not the finish line. Graduation requires either 7 payout cycles or $28,000 in total withdrawals from a single account. That's a meaningful commitment that doesn't appear prominently on the challenge pages.

If the execution quality lives up to the broker backing and the product matures — Blueberry Futures could be worth a serious look. Right now, it's worth a careful one.

Trader Tip

Graduation is the goal, not just passing the evaluation — 7 payout cycles or $28,000 total withdrawals from a single account is what unlocks full capital access. VPN means immediate account closure and profit forfeiture with no exceptions — plan ahead if you travel. Ascent (EOD) is more forgiving if you build slowly, Accelerated (Trailing) gets you funded faster but the floor tightens as you profit.

best eval i've taken

Rolled the dice on these guys after my last firm jacked up their fees. the demo and funded feeds matched closely enough that i trusted my backtests. the mobile app stays synced with desktop so i can check positions on the go without lag. monthly fee on the challenge is honestly cheap compared to what others charge for the same size. their scaling plan doesnt reset your progress if you have one losing month which is rare. i have nothing dramatic to report and honestly that is the highest praise.

reliable enough

Got into prop trading last year and have been firm hopping since. drawdown tracking in the dashboard is accurate but updates with a delay. support knows their stuff but you wait in a queue to reach them. commission per lot is average, nothing that ruins a strategy but you notice it. customer support resolved it but only after escalating past the first agent. if you cannot handle a daily loss limit this place will eat you alive.

decent for the price

got in through an affiliate link from a trader i follow … no shame. i can live with teh spreads, the overnight financing is what surprises people. fees are transparent at least, even if theyre not the lowest around. execution is fine in london hours but i saw real slippage in the asian session. depends entirely on whether you mind a slow back office. dude

lost my account to a rule

Been curious about these guys since they launched. the reset fee climbed twenty bucks since the last time i bought a challenge. slippage swallowed half my gain on a trade that should have been clean. they're holding my withdrawal hostage until i sign a new agreement i never agreed to. they claim i used a prohibited ea but i traded every position by hand. passed phase two weeks ago and still no live credentials in my inbox. run, and tell your trading group to run too.

the discount is the trap

Started here as a complete beginner, here is how that went. the dashboard showed me passing, then recalculated overnight and showed me breached. my account manager stopped responding the day i requested my money. customer service hours are basically never when you actually need them. the spread on gold randomly tripled right as my stop got clipped. kyc has been stuck on document review for over a month with zero updates. burned me clean and did not even pretend to care.

read the rules first

Finally pulled the trigger after comparing like six firms on a spreadsheet. payouts work but the dashboard doesnt show a clear status while you wait. the eval was fair but the funded account rules are noticeably tighter, read both. the eval phase felt fair to me but the funded rules tightened up in ways i didnt expect. support was polite enough but every reply came a full day apart. can you guys get in contact with this firm if I provide an acc number? their customer support hasn't replied in a week. spreads widen a touch on the new york session but still nothing to write home about. if you treat it like a business and not a casino you will probably be ok here.

Jury Is Still Out

so i finally caved and bought a challenge here after months of lurking. i got funded fine but teh scaling requirements are steeper than they look. decent execution most of the time, a few requotes during high impact news. platform choice is limited, they push thier own one pretty hard. dude withdrawals work but the minimum payout threshold is higher than i would like. i am staying for now but keeping one eye on the exit.

rules change mid game

Wanted something with weekend holding allowed so i landed here. i hit the target twice and both times a new hidden rule disqualified me. the refund they promised on funding never showed up on any statement. support promised a callback that never came, three times now. withdrew once successfully, the second time they audited my whole trade history for a month. every ticket gets a canned reply and then auto closes after 48 hours. support ghosted me the day my withdrawal was due, tells you everything.

scammy payout process

Funded trader for about a year now bouncing between a couple firms. slippage on every single news candle, always in the direction that hurts you. every time price gaps it gaps straight through my stop loss and never the other way. the mt5 server disconnects every london open like clockwork. they say my server time logs prove a violation but won't show me the logs. the platform shows trades i never placed and support won't remove them. i lost money learning that this firm never intended to pay.

on the fence

Been with this firm for a few months now so i figure i owe an honest review. the news trading rule is vague enough that i traded scared the whole funded phase. fees for resetting the challenge are steep if you fail late. support tickets get answered, just dont expect it the same day. the consistency rule is fair on paper but it caps how aggressive you can be. execution is fine in normal conditions, gets a little slippery around the open. somewhere between fine and frustrating depending on the week.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ascent and Accelerated?
Ascent uses EOD drawdown — the floor is measured at end of each trading session, giving more intraday flexibility. Accelerated uses trailing drawdown, requires only 1 minimum trading day, and costs less — but the floor moves as you profit. Both offer 90% profit split.
What does graduation mean at Blueberry Futures?
Passing the evaluation unlocks the funded stage, but full graduation requires either 7 payout cycles or $28,000 in total withdrawals from a single account. This is different from most prop firms where passing the challenge is the final step.
Can I use a VPN with Blueberry Futures?
No. VPN usage is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of all profits. This applies regardless of the reason, including travel. Plan your access method before you start.
Are Expert Advisors allowed?
Automated trading is permitted within limits. The maximum is 200 trades per day — strategies exceeding this threshold constitute prohibited HFT. EAs designed for high-frequency scalping or exploiting simulated environment conditions are not allowed.
Can I trade news events?
There is no explicit news trading ban. However, bracketing data releases — opening positions around news to exploit the lack of slippage in the simulated environment — is explicitly prohibited. Standard directional news trading is permitted.
What happens if I fail the evaluation?
You can purchase a reset to restart the evaluation. Reset costs vary by account size — $47.04 for $25K Ascent, $41.40 for $25K Accelerated. All fees are final and non-refundable regardless of outcome.
Always do your own research. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Last updated:
