Overview of Reserve Account Rules

The Blue Guardian Futures Reserve Challenge is designed for traders who prefer a flexible trading model with no daily loss limits and higher payout potential.

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 Reserve 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

On the Reserve plan, there is no daily loss limit.

It is the trader’s responsibility to manage risk appropriately and trade in a disciplined manner while staying within the account’s overall trailing drawdown rules.


Maximum Overall Drawdown (EOD)

The Maximum Trailing Drawdown on Reserve 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 $26,600

  • $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.


Microscalping 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 review or further account action.


Consistency Rule

For Blue Guardian Futures Reserve Accounts, a 50% consistency rule applies on Challenge Accounts only.This means that your highest-profit trading day cannot account for more than 50% of your total profits.

To successfully complete the Challenge, you must not only reach the required profit target but also satisfy the 50% consistency requirement. If the consistency rule has not been met, the 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 day represents less than 50% of your total profits.

Example

If your highest-profit trading day is $2,000, your total profits must exceed $4,000 before you satisfy the 50% consistency requirement.


How does payouts affect Reserve 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:

  • $25,000 Account: Drawdown locks at $25,100

  • $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 Reserve Accounts varies depending on your account size and is designed to promote steady, sustainable account growth while rewarding consistency over time.

Payouts follow a fixed cap structure, meaning the same payout cap applies to every payout request. Traders may request up to 50% of their profits, subject to the maximum payout cap assigned to their account size.

This structure provides clear and consistent payout limits while allowing traders to build and scale their accounts steadily.

Account Size

Cap Per Request

$25,000

50% of profit, up to $1,000

$50,000

50% of profit, up to $2,000

$100,000

50% of profit, up to $2,500

$150,000

50% of profit, up to $3,000


Minimum Winning Days

To become eligible for a payout on Reserve account, traders must complete at least 5 winning days. Each winning day must meet the minimum profit threshold based on account size:

  • $25,000: $100

  • $50,000: $150

  • $100,000: $200

  • $200,000: $250

Winning days do not need to be consecutive. The winning day counter resets after each approved payout.


Buffer Balance (Payout Threshold)

On Reserve Accounts, there is no profit buffer requirement.

Traders can withdraw 50% of their profits, subject to the account’s payout cap, once the minimum winning day requirements have been met.

This gives traders greater flexibility, allowing payouts as soon as they meet the required conditions.


Profit Split

Funded traders receive a 90% profit split.

Example:

If a trader earns $5,000 in profit, the payout would be:

  • Trader receives $4,500

  • Firm receives $500


Payout Schedule

  • Payout Frequency: Instant payout after meeting the winning days requirement.

  • Processing Time: 24 business hours

  • Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto

  • Minimum Withdrawl : $100 via crypto and $500 via rise


24-Hour Payout Guarantee

At Blue Guardian, payouts are processed within 24 business hours.

If your payout exceeds this timeframe, you will receive 100% profit share on that payout as part of our payout guarantee.

Exceptions:
The payout guarantee does not apply in cases involving:

  • Weekends or bank holidays

  • Compliance checks or risk reviews

  • Delays in Rise onboarding or pending trader response

How it works:

  • Available only if the account is breached before the first payout.

  • Once a payout has been received, the account is no longer eligible for reactivation.

  • Traders can reactivate the same account up to 2 times. After that, a new evaluation must be completed.

  • The reactivation option remains available for 30 calendar days from the date of breach.

  • Reactivated accounts keep the same account size, payout structure and trading conditions.

  • Once the fee is paid, the account will be reactivated at the start of the next trading session.

Please refer to the table below for the applicable reactivation fees by account size.
