Blue Guardian Futures

Position size is capped by plan and account size rather than by a leverage ratio.

Standard and Direct carry a fixed limit: 1 mini / 10 micros on a 25K, 4 / 40 on a 50K, 8 / 80 on a 100K and 12 / 120 on a 150K.

Reserve and Express allow full contract access during the evaluation, then start funded on a lower limit — 1 / 10 on a 25K, 2 / 20 on a 50K and 3 / 30 on both the 100K and 150K — which scales back up as the end-of-day balance passes triggers at $1,500, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,500 depending on size and tier. Falling back below a threshold reduces the limit again.

On the Live account, limits are set by combined drawdown: up to $2,000 allows 2 minis / 20 micros, $2,000–$4,500 allows 4 / 40, $4,500–$6,500 allows 6 / 60, $6,500–$9,500 allows 8 / 80 and $9,500–$15,000 allows 10 / 100. These limits do not rise after a payout.

Four routes on one rule set: Standard and Reserve evaluate on a 6% target, Express is built for daily payouts capped at $1,100, and Direct starts funded. Every plan is a one-time fee with no activation fee and no subscription. Drawdown trails on balance and is published in dollars. Only CME Level 1 data is included; CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX feeds cost extra, and every payout is charged a 3% processing fee.

All four plans run a trailing maximum drawdown measured on balance, published in dollars rather than percentages.

• Standard: $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000 by account size
• Reserve: $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500
• Express: $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,500
• Direct: $1,500 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $4,500

Standard adds a daily loss limit of $1,000 on a 50K, $2,000 on a 100K and $3,000 on a 150K, with none on the 25K; breaching it is a soft breach that disables trading until the next session rather than failing the account. Reserve has no daily loss limit by default, but an optional add-on sets one at $600 / $1,200 / $1,700 / $3,000.

Consistency differs by plan: Standard applies a 40% rule once funded and none during the evaluation; Reserve applies a 50% rule during the evaluation with a published 1% tolerance, so the largest day may reach 51%; Direct steps through 20%, 25% and 30%. On Standard, no more than 50% of total profit may come from trades held under ten seconds.

The evaluation target on Standard and Reserve is 6%: $1,500 on a 25K, $3,000 on a 50K, $6,000 on a 100K and $9,000 on a 150K. Direct has no evaluation.

Standard is $154 / $209 / $330 / $424 by size. Reserve is $112 / $210.67 / $284 / $460. Express, the cheapest route, is $86 / $130 / $205 / $320. Direct, which starts funded, is $350 / $452 / $598.67 / $718.67. These are list prices; Blue Guardian runs discount codes more or less continuously.

The profit split is up to 90%, and payout mechanics differ sharply by plan.

Standard: payouts every three days from three days after the first trade, once the balance clears a buffer of $1,600 / $2,100 / $3,600 / $5,100. The first payout is capped at $1,500 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000 and later ones at $2,000 / $3,000 / $3,500 / $4,500.

Reserve: five qualifying winning days per cycle, which need not be consecutive, each clearing $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 of profit. Up to 50% of eligible profit may be requested, capped at $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000. On accounts bought from 27 July 2026, payouts two to five also require net profit since the last payout of $500 / $750 / $1,000 / $1,250.

Express: daily payout opportunities, capped at $1,100 a day. Direct: instant payout opportunities from day one. Neither guarantees same-day approval.
