Reserve Account Rules

The Blue Guardian Futures Reserve Evaluation is designed for traders who prefer higher payout potential with no daily loss limits, while still following our trading rules and risk parameters.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. We now offer an optional Daily Loss Limit add-on for traders who prefer the Reserve Account but would like the additional protection of a daily loss limit. This add-on can be selected during purchase for those who want an extra layer of risk management while trading, it act as soft breach.

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:

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.

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.

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:

Successful trading is built on consistency, discipline, and proper risk management, not on relying solely on account limits to control losses.

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.

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.

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.

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

To give traders a little more flexibility, the Reserve Account includes a 1% Consistency Cushion. This means your largest profitable trading day can make up up to 51% of your total profits, instead of being strictly limited to 50%. The cushion is there to help traders who narrowly exceed the consistency limit by a small amount, so they don’t have to take an extra trading day just because they were slightly over.

While this flexibility may allow some traders to complete the evaluation in as little as two trading days, we always recommend focusing on consistent trading rather than trying to pass as quickly as possible.

Example

Example: On a $50,000 Reserve Account, the profit target is $3,000. Normally, your largest profitable day could not exceed $1,500 (50% of the profit target). With the 1% Consistency Cushion, your largest profitable day can be up to $1,530 and still meet the consistency requirement.

Important: The values in the table above are provided as examples based on reaching the exact profit target.

The Consistency Cushion is not a fixed dollar amount. It is applied as a 1% tolerance to the consistency calculation, so the maximum allowable profit for your largest trading day will adjust based on your total profits at the time.

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:

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.

If a trader on a $50,000 Reserve Account makes $3,000 in total profit, they may request up to $1,500.

If they make $4,000 in total profit, they may request up to $2,000.

If they make $5,000 in total profit, 50% would equal $2,500, but the maximum payout is still $2,000 because of the account’s payout cap.

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:

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

Reserve Accounts purchased before July 27, 2026 will remain under their original payout rules for the life of the account.

For Reserve Accounts purchased on or after July 27, 2026, the following requirements apply for payouts 2–5:

Net profit includes all profits and losses since the last approved payout.

For example, on a $50,000 account, if you make $900 in profit but have $150 in losses, your net profit is $750 ($900 - $150 = $750), which meets the $750 net-profit requirement. If your net profit is below $750, you must continue trading until the required amount is reached.

A trader with a $50,000 Reserve Account completes 5 winning days and makes $900 in profit but also has a $300 losing day during the same payout cycle, making their net profit $600 ($900 - $300 = $600). Since this is below the required $750 net profit, the trader must continue trading until their net profit reaches at least $750.

No. The payout calculation remains the same. Traders may request up to 50% of their total accumulated profit, subject to their account’s payout cap.

The net-profit requirement is only used to determine payout eligibility.

Once a payout is approved, both the 5 winning-day count and net-profit requirement reset for the next payout cycle.

Funded traders receive a 90% profit split.

Example:

If a trader earns $1,000 in profit, the payout would be:

At Blue Guardian, payouts are processed within 24 business hours. If your payout exceeds this timeframe, you will receive additional 10% profit share on that payout as part of our payout guarantee.

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

Reserve accounts can be reset if breached, allowing traders to restart their evaluation without purchasing a new account. Reset fees are fixed based on account size and remain unchanged regardless of any active promotions or discount codes.

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

Traders on the Reserve model may be eligible to reactivate a breached funded account without repeating the evaluation process. This allows you to return directly to funded status by paying a reactivation fee.
