Express Accounts purchased before September 2nd will remain under the Daily Loss Limit that was applicable at the time of purchase.
Maximum Overall Drawdown (EOD)
Section: Maximum Overall Drawdown (EOD)
− The Maximum Trailing Drawdown on Express Accounts varies depending on the account size and follows an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing model during both the Evaluation and Funded stages.
− This means the trailing drawdown only adjusts based on your closed balance at the end of each trading day, allowing traders to better plan their positions and build consistent risk management habits.
− Once your trailing drawdown reaches your starting balance, the drawdown will lock and no longer trail.
− This locked level becomes your permanent maximum loss limit for the account.
− Examples:
− - $25,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $26,100
− - $50,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $52,100
− - $100,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $102,600
− - $150,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $153,600
+ Express Accounts use an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown, with the drawdown allowance determined by your account size.
+ Your maximum loss limit moves up when you achieve a new highest end-of-day closing balance. It does not trail unrealized profits during the trading session or move back down after a losing day.
+ The maximum loss limit stops trailing once it reaches your starting balance plus $100. After this, the limit remains fixed, even as your account balance continues to grow.
+

+ Example: On a $50,000 account, once your end-of-day closing balance reaches $52,100, your maximum loss limit locks at $50,100. Any further profits increase the distance between your balance and this fixed limit.
Note: This Max Loss Limit update applies only to Express Accounts purchased on or after September 2nd.
Express Accounts purchased before September 2nd will remain under the Daily Loss Limit that was applicable at the time of purchase.

Overview of Express Account Rules
The Blue Guardian Futures Express Challenge is designed for traders who prefer a fast-paced trading model with daily payout opportunities, giving greater flexibility and quicker access to profits.
Traders can qualify for funded trading by completing the one-phase evaluation process, reaching the required profit target while complying with all trading rules and risk management requirements.
Below is a complete overview of the rules, trading conditions, and payout requirements for the Express account model.
Profit Target
Traders must achieve a 6% profit target on phase 1 while respecting all trading rules and risk limits.
Once the target is reached, the account will undergo a final review. After successful verification, the trader will move forward as a Funded Trader.
Daily Loss Limit
For Express Accounts, the maximum daily loss limit is 2% of the initial balance across all account sizes.If your balance or equity falls below the daily loss threshold, the system will automatically close all open trades and temporarily disable the account.
Please note that breaching the daily drawdown is considered a soft breach, not a hard breach. The account will be automatically reinstated on the next trading day, allowing you to continue trading.
Maximum Overall Drawdown (EOD)
The Maximum Trailing Drawdown on Express Accounts varies depending on the account size and follows an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing model during both the Evaluation and Funded stages.
This means the trailing drawdown only adjusts based on your closed balance at the end of each trading day, allowing traders to better plan their positions and build consistent risk management habits.
Once your trailing drawdown reaches your starting balance, the drawdown will lock and no longer trail.
This locked level becomes your permanent maximum loss limit for the account.
Examples:
- $50,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $52,100
- $100,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $103,600
- $150,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $156,100
Is there a monthly fee or activation fee?
No. Blue Guardian Futures does not require any monthly subscription fees or activation fees before receiving your funded account.
The only payment required is the initial account purchase fee at checkout.
News Trading Rule
News trading is allowed on both Challenge and Funded Accounts.
Traders are free to open, manage and close trades during high-impact news events. However, we strongly advise traders to remain cautious during volatile market conditions, as slippage and spread widening may occur.
Stop Loss Rules
At Blue Guardian Futures, using a Stop Loss is not mandatory, but it is strongly encouraged as part of proper risk management.
The purpose is to promote disciplined trading and prevent reckless behavior such as intentionally relying on the account’s trailing threshold or maximum loss limits as a substitute for a stop loss.
Trading without a clear risk management plan, using excessive sizing, inconsistent contract sizes, or “all-in” strategies may be considered gambling and can lead to account review.
We encourage all traders to:
- Define their risk before entering a trade
- Use consistent position sizing
- Follow a structured trading plan
- Avoid martingale or loss-recovery strategies
Successful trading is built on consistency, discipline, and proper risk management, not on relying solely on account limits to control losses.
Can I use copy trading or trade copiers?
Copy trading is allowed at Blue Guardian Futures, including the use of third-party copier software, provided all copied trades are between accounts legally owned by the same trader. This includes copying between your own Blue Guardian accounts Futures and your own external accounts.
Copying trades from other traders, signal providers, trade groups, or allowing third parties to manage or execute trades on your behalf is strictly prohibited and may result in account review or termination.
Micro scalping Rule
At Blue Guardian Futures, scalping is allowed; however, micro scalping is restricted. Less than 50% of your total profits may come from trades held for under 10 seconds.
This rule applies during both the Evaluation and Funded phases. Excessive reliance on ultra-short duration trades may result in profit removal, payout reviewor further account action.
Consistency Rule
A 40% consistency rule applies to Blue Guardian Futures Express Challenge Accounts.
This means that your highest-profit trading day cannot account for more than 40% of your total profits during the Challenge.To successfully complete the Challenge, you must not only reach the required profit target but also satisfy the 40% consistency requirement. If the consistency requirement has not been met, your account will not be eligible to pass until your profit distribution becomes compliant.
Violating the consistency rule does not breach or terminate your account. You simply need to continue trading until your highest-profit trading day represents less than 40% of your total profits.
Example
If your highest-profit trading day is $1,500, your total profits must exceed $3,750 before the Challenge can be successfully completed, ensuring your highest-profit trading day represents less than 40% of your total profits.
Example:
- Highest-profit trading day: $1,500
- Total profits: $4,000
- Highest-profit day represents 37.5% of total profits.
Since the consistency requirement has been met, the Challenge will be eligible to pass, provided all other Challenge requirements have also been satisfied.
How does payouts affect Express Drawdown?
After any payout/withdrawal, the drawdown floor will locked at your starting balance + $100. This ensures the account remains active and prevents traders from withdrawing down to the exact breach level.
Examples:
- $50,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $50,100
- $100,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $100,100
- $150,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $150,100
Rewards and Payout Structure
Payout cap
The payout cap on Blue Guardian Futures Express Accounts varies depending on your account size and is designed to provide fast daily cash flow while maintaining sustainable account growth.
Payouts follow a daily cap structure, meaning traders can request payouts every day, subject to the maximum payout cap assigned to their account size.
This structure gives traders quicker access to profits, consistent cash flow, and clear daily payout limits while continuing to scale their accounts steadily.
Account SizeMax Daily Payout
$50,000$1,100
$100,000$2,200
$150,000$3,300
Buffer Balance (Payout Threshold)
For the Express model, the account balance must remain above the required buffer threshold before a payout can be requested.
This means withdrawals are only available from profits earned beyond the buffer amount and the buffer must stay intact at all times when submitting a payout request.
Account SizeFunded Buffer
$50,000$2,100
$100,000$3,600
$150,000$5,100
Example: A trader starts with a funded balance of $50,000.
To become eligible for a payout, the account balance must first exceed the required buffer of $52,100.
If the trader grows the account to $53,000, they would have $900 available for withdrawal ($53,000 − $52,100 = $900), subject to the applicable daily payout cap.
Profit Split
Funded traders receive a 90% profit split.
Example:
If a trader earns $1,000 in profit, the payout would be:
- Trader receives $900
- Firm receives $100
Payout Schedule
- Payout Frequency: Instant payout
- Processing Time: 24 business hours
- Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto
- Minimum Withdrawal : $100 via crypto and $500 via rise
