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 Two evaluation paths, four account sizes, and a funded journey that ends when you've completed 7 payout cycles or withdrawn $28,000.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.

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.

not worth the stress

Came over from another firm that shall not be named after they ghosted me. payout approved on friday then mysteriously reverted to pending on monday. the challenge dashboard froze and counted the day as a fail. got banned for martingale on a strategy that adds zero to losing trades. they failed me for a soft breach that isn't even listed anywhere in the rules. worst firm i have touched, take your money literally anywhere else.

half good half frustrating

Signed up after seeing them everywhere on twitter, figured why not. payouts are reliable so far but the schedule is biweekly not on demand. execution during london open was fine, new york open had some slippage. the eval gave me plenty of time, the funded phase felt rushed by comparison. support speaks english well but the timezone gap slows everything down. the potential is there, the execution is about sixty percent of the way.

took my fee ran off

Picked this firm because they supported my exact strategy. they keep shifting the profit target up each time i get close. trying to close my account triggers an endless loop of verification emails. they recalculated my equity peak to a number i never actually hit. the news cap ate most of my best trade and nobody warns you about it upfront. spread spikes always seem to hit a few seconds before major news drops. they move the goalposts the second you start winning.

Take The Good With The Bad

needed a new firm after my last one shut down. i asked support the same question twice and got two different answers. execution during london open was fine, new york open had some slippage. payout processing is fine but you have to hit a minimum balance first. payouts landed eventually though the processing took longer than the 24 hours they promise. consistency rule almost got me once because i did not read the fine print, my bad not theirs. usable, but keep your expectations and your lot sizes small.

good firm bad app

Jumped in during a 30% off promo … figured worst case i learn something. passing was easier than the funded account which flips the difficulty on its head. the rule against hedging across accounts makes sense but it isnt obvious at signup. good spreads on forex, indices are wider than i expected. i passed phase one then immediately fumbled phase two before pulling it back in the last week.

Support Is A Ghost Town

Ok so i ran their evaluation start to finish and took notes the whole way. the daily loss limit counts floating drawdown which is never how the marketing explains it. the platform froze during cpi and my ticket about it was closed without a reply. my profit split got cut over a rule trigger i was never notified about. support went completely silent the moment i asked about my withdrawal. got my funded account suspended for news trading on a strategy they approved last month. never again … and i say that as someone with a high tolerance for prop firm nonsense.

endless payout delays

Trading forex for years but new to the prop side of things. my platform logged me out mid trade and i ate a margin call i couldn't stop. the trailing drawdown ate my profit while i was flat and out of the market. payouts that used to take two days now take three weeks if they come at all. the rule about overnight positions appeared after i already held one. the rules are a minefield and the support is a brick wall, hard pass.

slippage city

i blew my first account in two days like an absolute clown. two months funded and the promised scaling still hasn't kicked in. price feed spiked a hundred pips for one second and blew my account. they changed the rules mid challenge and applied them retroactively. execution is fine until you are profitable, then orders start slipping like crazy. my ea was approved by support in writing and then flagged as prohibited a month later.

middle of the road

Picked them mostly because the eval price was easy to swallow. everything worked but i needed to chase support for the funded login. challenge rules were clear but the faq contradicted them in one spot. I don't see the point of some of the rules … man. the trailing drawdown is honest but it punishes you for giving back profit. fees crept up since i joined and the retake discount quietly got smaller. fine for a first eval … would not bet my rent on it though.

Worth It If You Read Carefully

Been trading prop for like two years so i have some basis for comparison. i appreciated the free retry but it came with a stricter target. app is okay on desktop but the mobile version feels like an afterthought. the platform is reliable, i just wish they offered more than one option.

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.
