Overview of Direct Account Rules

The Blue Guardian Futures Direct Account is designed for traders who want immediate access to funded trading without going through an evaluation phase.

Traders can start trading instantly from day one while following all trading rules, payout conditions, and risk management requirements.

Below is a complete overview of the rules, trading conditions, and payout requirements for the Direct account model.


Profit Target

With the Instant Account, there is no profit target or evaluation phase. Traders receive immediate access to a funded account and can begin trading right away.

To begin trading, traders are only required to sign their Trader Agreement/Contract once the account is issued.


Drawdown Limits

Daily Loss Limit

On the Direct 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 Drawdown on Direct Accounts varies depending on the account size and follows a trailing EOD until your account exceeds the Initial Trail Balance. During this period, the maximum drawdown remains STATIC (No Trailing) at the starting balance + $100.

Once your account exceeds the Initial trail Balance, or after the first payout has been requested, the maximum drawdown becomes static and will no longer trail. This provides traders with clear and consistent risk parameters for the remainder of the account's lifetime.


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 Direct 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

At Blue Guardian Futures Direct Accounts, a Scaling Consistency Rule applies on all payout requests.

This means that one trading day cannot account for more than the allowed percentage of your total profits within a payout cycle. If your highest profit day is equal to or greater than the required consistency percentage, the payout request option will remain unavailable until additional profits are made and your consistency falls within the required threshold.

Violating the consistency rule does not breach or terminate your account. You will simply need to continue trading until your profit distribution becomes compliant.

Consistency Structure:

  • 1st Payout: 20% consistency

  • 2nd Payout: 25% consistency

  • 3rd Payout and onwards: 30% consistency

Example (1st payout):
If you make $1,000 in one trading day, your total profits must reach at least $5,000 to meet the 20% consistency requirement.


How does payouts affect Direct 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 Direct Accounts varies depending on your account size and is designed to support steady account growth while rewarding long-term consistency.

For the Blue Guardian Futures Direct model, payouts follow a tiered cap structure. This means the first three payouts are subject to an initial payout cap, while from the fourth payout onward, traders unlock a higher payout cap based on their account size.

This structure encourages traders to build consistency early while progressively gaining access to greater payout flexibility.

Account Size

Payout Profit Goals

A payout target is a specific profit threshold that must be reached before a payout can be requested, just like the consistency rule this resets upon payout request.

Account Size

1st Payout Profit

Goal

2nd+ Payout Goal

$25,000

$1,500

$1,000

$50,000

$3,000

$2,000

$100,000

$6,000

$3,500

$150,000

$9,000

$4,500

Example:

To qualify for your first payout, you must meet the consistency rule and generate a profit of $3,000 on your account. For your second payout, an additional profit of $2,000 is required. To request your third payout, you’ll need to earn a further $2,000 in profit.

Buffer Balance (Payout Threshold)

On Direct Accounts, there is no profit buffer requirement.

Traders can request a payout once they have met the required consistency rule and payout target, subject to the account’s payout cap.

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 consistency and payout profit goal.

  • Processing Time: 24 business hours

  • Withdrawal Methods: Rise or Crypto

  • Minimum Withdrawl : $1000 via crypto and $1000 via rise
