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.

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.

Passed Eventually Lol
So i finally caved and bought a challenge here after months of lurking. minimum trading days felt forced at first but i get it now, it protects both sides. i traded indices mostly and the spreads on those were perfectly fine. their server uptime during the last nfp was flawless from where i sat. i passed phase one then immediately fumbled phase two before pulling it back in the last week. slippage outside of high impact news is basically a non issue for me. would i do it again? yeah, probably with a bigger account next time.
better than i expected
i blew my first account in two days like an absolute clown. execution during london open is tight enough to scalp if you are into that. overnight swaps are charged but they are upfront about the numbers. spreads widen a touch on the new york session but still nothing to write home about. the weekly market recap they send is actually worth reading. i moved up an account tier and the upgrade process took all of five minutes. sticking around until they give me a reason not to.
no drama payouts
They popped up on a youtube ad and against my better judgement i clicked. the challenge rules are strict but at least they are written in plain english for once. consistency rule almost got me once because i did not read the fine print, my bad not theirs. they cap the max lot size which annoyed me at first but it protects you. i had a margin scare during cpi and the platform held up without freezing.
support came through
Needed a firm that allowed my EA and these guys actually do. the news trading rule confused me at first but the faq actually explains why it exists. the verification email came instantly instead of the usual 24 hour wait. they paused my consistency tracker when i asked for a couple weeks off … super flexible. i requested a payout three times and all three landed inside the promised window. recommend … but read the consistency rule twice before you start.
low key impressed
my prop firm group chat would not shut up about them so i caved. the trailing drawdown is reasonable if you size your positions like an adult. the profit target on phase one is ambitious but not insane. getting verified for a payout needed an id and a selfie, standard stuff … painless. i appreciated that they email you before a rule change instead of springing it. all in all i would point a friend their way without much hesitation.
finally a firm that pays
been burned by a sketchy firm before so i went in cautious this time. overnight swaps are charged but they are upfront about the numbers. slippage outside of high impact news is basically a non issue for me. pricing is not the cheapest but you kind of pay for the peace of mind. email notifications can lag a bit which is mildly annoying but not a dealbreaker. i scaled twice and each bump was a real size jump not some token gesture.
passed second attempt
Picked these guys mostly because of the discount code floating around. i compared them against three others and they had the best balance of price and rules. kyc was painless … uploaded my id and got verified the same afternoon. support replied way faster than my actual broker which is kinda sad when you think about it. partial closes and trailing stops both worked exactly like they should.
Legit Firm
My buddy kept hyping these guys up so i gave them a shot. their dashboard is genuinely useful, learned stuff about my own trading just looking at it. support answered a dumb question of mine with an actual example instead of a canned reply. no hidden gotchas on the payout page, what they say is what you actually get. the drawdown is calculated on balance not equity which honestly saved me a few times. good enough that i stopped shopping around for alternatives.
Paid On Time Every Time
Been with this firm for a few months now and honestly no major complaints. payouts are biweekly on funded accounts which is way better than the monthly firms. i like that the daily loss limit resets at a sane hour for my timezone. the ui looks like it was designed in 2014 but functionally everything works. there is a discord and staff actually show up in it occasionally. i would rank them top three of everything i have tried this year.
happy customer here
Was super skeptical going in because of all teh horror stories online. fees are reasonable for what you get and the retake discount softens the blow. i like that the daily loss limit resets at a sane hour for my timezone. tbh spreads are fine, nothing crazy, nothing terrible, it is a prop firm not a charity. no regrets, would hand them my eval fee again.
