BlueBerry Funded
Blueberry Funded sounds harmless — broker-backed, institutional infrastructure, scaling to $2 million. Then you start reading. News trades near high-impact events get slashed to a 40% profit split. EAs cost extra and aren't included by default. Switch from EA to manual after passing and that's a violation. Three strikes before termination sounds generous until you read what counts as a strike. Read the T&Cs before you buy — not after.

Who Is This Firm For?
About BlueBerry Funded
Simple rules, familiar structure, nothing that immediately raises questions.
Then you start reading the details… and realize this isn’t just a rulebook.
It’s more like a system designed to observe not only what you trade, but how, when, and occasionally why you thought that was a good idea.
And yes, they pay attention to details. Sometimes very small ones.

Strict rules designed to fail you
Their pricing and promotions drew me in. The product itself is lacking. Their Discord moderators ban anyone who posts critical questions. If you like fighting with support, by all means sign up.— Verified Trader (isabella kim) See all reviews
The 1.5% trade idea rule is the most commonly misunderstood rule — any re-entry in the same direction within 10 minutes of a previous loss counts toward the same combined limit. If your first trade lost 1%, you have 0.5% remaining for that idea window. The news restriction applies to automatic TP and SL executions too — not just manual trades. On Instant accounts, calculate how much buffer remains before withdrawing profits.
Trading Conditions
Drawdown System
- 1.5% trade idea rule: initial position + re-entries same direction within 10 minutes = one idea
- Combined loss across trade idea cannot exceed 1.5% of initial balance
- Instant accounts: drawdown does not reset after withdrawals — profits withdrawal leaves thin buffer
- 30-day inactivity: account may be suspended
- Applies to: 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant Lite, Instant Elite
High-Frequency & Fast Trading
- Not Allowed:
- Re-entries in same direction within 10 minutes after loss counted as same trade idea
- Fast reactive trading after losses — behavioral pattern monitoring
- Copying from external accounts or other traders
Low Liquidity & Timing
- News window: no opening or closing trades 2 minutes before/after high-impact news
- Applies to both evaluation and funded accounts
- TP hit during window: profits may be voided — even if trade not manually touched
- Exception: trade opened 6+ hours before news hitting SL — allowed
Loss-Chasing & Gambling
- Not Allowed:
- Re-entries in same direction within 10 minutes of a loss — counted toward 1.5% combined cap
- Fast decisions after losses that constitute reactive trading patterns
- Adjusting positions actively around news events
- Copy trading from external accounts or other traders
Risk Management
- 1.5% trade idea cap enforced on funded accounts — 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant Lite, Instant Elite
- Trade idea defined as: initial position + same-direction re-entries within 10 minutes
- Copy trading: personal accounts only — external copying prohibited
- Instant account drawdown: does not reset after withdrawals — structural risk after profit withdrawal
- Trustpilot: 37% one-star — profile flagged for review credibility concerns
Blueberry Funded - Trading Conditions & Rules
News Trading
- - No opening or closing trades:
- - 2 minutes before and after high-impact news
Applies to:
- Evaluation accounts
- Funded accounts
Important detail:
- - If your take profit gets hit during that window,
→ profits may be voided
Exception:
- - If the trade was opened 6+ hours before news and hits SL → allowed
So your entry matters.
Your exit matters.
And apparently, your timing matters even when you’re not touching the trade.
Drawdown Adjustment Rule (Instant Accounts)
- - Max drawdown does not reset after withdrawals
- - Withdrawing most profits can leave your account with:
- - almost no buffer
You made money. Great.
Now try not to remove too much of it, or the account becomes… structurally sensitive.
Copy Trading
- - Allowed between personal accounts only
You can copy yourself.
Which is reassuring, assuming you trust your own decisions.
1.5% Risk Per Trade Idea (Funded Only)
- - A “trade idea” includes:
- - The initial position
- - Any re-entries in the same direction within 10 minutes after a loss
- - Combined loss must not exceed:
- - 1.5% of the initial balance
Applies to:
So it’s not just one trade being evaluated.
It’s your entire thought process within a short time window.
Inactivity Rule
- - You must place at least one trade every 30 days
- - Otherwise, your account may be suspended
Even not trading requires participation.
Consistency goes both ways.
The Part That Raises Eyebrows
Blueberry Funded doesn’t just stand out for its rules.
- - Around 37% of it's TrustPilot reviews are 1-star
- - Common complaints include:
- - Payout denials
- - Accounts flagged after trading activity
There have also been concerns about review credibility, including attempts to influence ratings.
To be fair, the rules exist.
But many traders only seem to fully understand them… after something goes wrong.
Final Take
Blueberry Funded is highly focused on:
- - Trade timing
- - Behavioral patterns
- - Risk aggregation across trades
The structure is not overly complex.
But it is very precise in how it evaluates what you do.
If you:
- - Trade calmly
- - Avoid reactive re-entries
- - Keep things structured
You’ll likely be fine.
If your style involves:
- - Fast decisions after losses
- - Letting trades close naturally around news
- - Or adjusting positions actively
You may start discovering just how detailed these rules actually are.

Felt like a bait and switch
The challenge itself went fine. Everything after was painful. Their news-trading restrictions are much broader than the documentation says. I will not be renewing or recommending this firm.
Delayed every step of the way
The challenge itself went fine. Everything after was painful. Support tickets sit unanswered for days, sometimes longer. Their business model feels like it depends on traders failing rather than succeeding.
Could be better
They are one of several firms I use to diversify my risk. Bonus structure is decent but harder to earn than it first appears. Better than I feared, worse than the marketing suggests.
Truly trader-friendly
Tried the challenge three times before passing, so I know it well. Their affiliate program is transparent and pays out as promised. Keep doing what you are doing, team.
Better firms available elsewhere
I believed the reviews online that turned out to be affiliated. Dashboard numbers do not match what their team calculates internally. Filing this under lessons learned.
Three stars feels right
Had both good and bad moments during my time here. The challenge is fair but the funded-account conditions feel slightly different. Room for improvement, but not bad enough to walk away.
Would understand if you skipped
Neither a fan nor a detractor after my time here. Their dashboard is functional but definitely showing its age. Competent but not memorable.
Top-notch customer support
Used their instant funding option instead of the traditional evaluation. I have had zero unexpected rule changes since I started here. Overall one of the smoothest prop experiences I have had.
Execution issues ruined my account
The challenge itself went fine. Everything after was painful. The chat support is obviously a thinly-veiled bot for the first two responses. Would rather trade my own small account than deal with this again.
Better options abound
I want to warn other traders before they make my mistake. Account scaling milestones shifted after I reached one of them. Filing this under lessons learned.
