What is the Blue Guardian Futures Live Account?

Live (Earned Tier)

The Blue Guardian Futures Live Account is the highest level of the Blue Guardian Futures program, designed exclusively for traders who have demonstrated exceptional consistency, disciplined risk management, and long-term profitability.

Unlike Evaluation and Funded Accounts, Live Accounts operate using real CME market execution with real capital through Blue Guardian's partnered brokerage infrastructure.

Live Accounts represent the final progression within the Blue Guardian Futures ecosystem and are earned through performance—not purchased.

Once promoted, traders gain access to real capital, daily payouts, no consistency requirements, and additional incentives designed to reward professional trading.


How do I become eligible for a Live Account?

Live Accounts are not automatically awarded and cannot be purchased.

Instead, traders become eligible for Live Review after demonstrating consistent performance on funded accounts.

A trader may enter the Live Review Pool when one or more of the following conditions are met:

  • Successfully reaching Payout 5 on a funded account.

  • Receiving a significant amount of lifetime payouts.

  • Demonstrating exceptional performance on funded accounts.

  • Having previously traded on a Blue Guardian Live Account.

Important

Reaching Payout 5 does not guarantee promotion to a Live Account.

It simply places the trader into the Live Review Pool, where the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team evaluates whether the trader is ready to transition to live capital.

All Live promotions are made solely at the discretion of the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team.


How does the Live Review process work?

Every trader entering the Live Review Pool undergoes an internal assessment by the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team.

During the review, the team considers factors including:

  • Overall trading consistency

  • Risk management

  • Trading discipline

  • Lifetime profitability

  • Account behaviour

  • Previous Live account history (where applicable)

The objective is to identify traders capable of managing real capital responsibly over the long term.


What happens when I am promoted to Live?

Once approved, your eligible funded accounts will automatically transition into Live Accounts.

For each eligible funded account, you will receive one corresponding Live Account.

Each Live Account begins with:

  • $0 Starting Balance

  • Real CME execution

  • Daily payouts

  • End-of-Day drawdown

  • No daily loss limit

No additional purchase or activation fee is required.


Do all funded accounts move to Live?

Yes.

When a trader is approved for Live, all eligible funded accounts will transition together.

To be considered eligible, each funded account must have received at least one successful payout.

Example

If you currently have:

  • 2 Standard Funded Accounts

  • 1 Reserve Funded Account

  • 2 Express Funded Accounts

and each account has received at least one payout, all five accounts will move to Live together.


What happens to my remaining simulated accounts?

Once you transition to Live:

  • All active Evaluation Accounts will be closed.

  • Any funded account that has not yet received a payout will not move to Live.

  • If a funded account is ineligible because it has received zero payouts, the evaluation fee paid for that account will be refunded.

If you intend to continue using evaluation accounts, we recommend not holding unused evaluations when approaching Live eligibility.

Live Account Rules

Once promoted, Live Accounts operate under the following conditions.

Profit Split

  • Trader receives 90%

  • Blue Guardian receives 10%

Payout Frequency

  • Daily payouts.

  • No payout caps.

Drawdown

Live Accounts use an End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown model.

If a payout is requested before your account balance exceeds the live drawdown amount, your Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) will lock to $100.

Daily Loss Limit

There is no daily loss limit on Live Accounts.

Consistency Rule

There are no consistency requirements on Live Accounts.

Regardless of whether your account originated from the Standard, Reserve, Express, or Direct model, all consistency requirements are removed once you transition to Live.

News Trading

News trading is not permitted on Live Accounts due to the risks associated with real CME order execution during high-impact news events.

Hedging

Hedging is strictly prohibited on Live Accounts.

Violations may result in permanent account closure and a permanent ban from Blue Guardian Futures.

Household Rule

If one member of a household is actively trading a Live Account, other household members may not trade simulated Blue Guardian Futures accounts.


Live Scaling Plan

Live Accounts use a progressive scaling system that adjusts your maximum contract limits based on the profits generated on your Live Account.

Scaling is reviewed at the end of each trading day (EOD).

As your profits increase, additional contract limits become available. If your profits decrease, your maximum position size may also be reduced accordingly.

Please note that contract limits also vary depending on the exchange and product traded. Certain highly volatile contracts may have lower maximum position sizes.

Live Bonus

The first time a trader is promoted to Live, they may be eligible to receive a one-time Live Bonus for every account included in their first Live transition.

To qualify, the trader must generate live profits equal to the Live Target shown below.

Example

A trader transitions to Live with five $50,000 funded accounts.

Each account begins with:

  • $0 starting balance

  • $2,000 Live drawdown

Once each account generates $2,100 in profit, the trader receives a $2,000 Live Bonus on each account.

In this example, the trader would receive a total Live Bonus of $10,000.

Please note that the Live Bonus is only available during a trader's first Live transition and cannot be earned again on future Live promotions.


Is reaching Payout 5 a guarantee that I will receive a Live Account?

Reaching Payout 5 places you into the Live Review Pool, but it does not guarantee promotion to a Live Account. Every trader is individually assessed by the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team.


Can I purchase a Live Account?

Live Accounts cannot be purchased and are only earned through consistent trading performance.


Can I buy back a breached Live Account?

Live Accounts cannot be reset, repurchased, or reactivated.

If you breach a Live Account, you must earn another opportunity through the funded program.


What happens if I breach my Live Account?

If a Live Account is breached:

  • A standard 2-week cooldown applies before purchasing a new evaluation.

  • Traders who repeatedly breach Live Accounts through reckless or excessive risk-taking may be subject to longer cooldown periods at the discretion of the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team.
