Express Account Rules

The Blue Guardian Futures Express Evaluation is designed for traders who want fast, daily cash flow with the flexibility of daily payouts, while still following our trading rules and risk parameters.

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.

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.

Express Accounts include a fixed Daily Loss Limit based on the account size.

Please note: The $25K Express Challenge does not have a Daily Loss Limit. The $500 Daily Loss Limit only applies to the $25K Funded Account.
​

If your balance or equity falls below the applicable Daily Loss Limit, all open positions will be automatically closed and your account will be temporarily disabled for the remainder of the trading day. Exceeding the Daily Loss Limit is considered a soft breach, not a hard breach. Your account will be automatically reinstated at the start of the next trading day, allowing you to continue trading.
​

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:

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 reviewor further account action.

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:

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:

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.

To request a payout, your available profit must meet the minimum payout requirement for your account size.

If your available profit is below the minimum amount, you will need to continue trading until the minimum payout requirement is reached. All other payout eligibility requirements must also be met before a payout can be requested.

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.

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.

Funded traders receive a 90% profit split.

Example:

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

Express 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 Express 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.

How it works:

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