Below is the complete breakdown of the legacy Blue Guardian Futures account models offered before July 15. If you purchased one of these plans, the following rules and conditions will continue to apply to your account.

Profit Target

For Rapid, Pro, and Standard accounts, traders must achieve a 6% profit target during the evaluation phase 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.

Please note: Instant Standard accounts do not require an evaluation phase, as they are funded immediately upon purchase.


Drawdown Limits

Daily Loss Limit

The daily loss limit varies depending on the selected legacy account model:

Rapid Plan (Soft Breach)

  • $50,000 Account: $1,000

  • $100,000 Account: $2,000

  • $150,000 Account: $3,000

If breached, all open trades will be closed and the account will be reinstated on the next trading day.

Instant Standard Plan (Soft Breach)

  • $25,000 Account: $500

  • $50,000 Account: $1,000

  • $100,000 Account: $2,000

  • $150,000 Account: $3,000

If breached, all open trades will be closed and the account will be reinstated on the next trading day.

Standard Plan (Hard Breach)

  • $50,000 Account: $1,250

  • $100,000 Account: $2,500

  • $150,000 Account: $3,750

If breached, the account will be permanently closed.

Pro Plan

Pro accounts do not have a daily loss limit.


Maximum Overall Drawdown (EOD)

All legacy account models use an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown, meaning the drawdown adjusts only based on your closed balance at the end of each trading day.

Rapid Plan

  • $50,000 Account: $2,000

  • $100,000 Account: $4,000

  • $150,000 Account: $6,000

Pro Plan

  • $50,000 Account: $2,000

  • $100,000 Account: $4,000

  • $150,000 Account: $6,000

Instant Standard Plan

  • $25,000 Account: $1,000

  • $50,000 Account: $2,000

  • $100,000 Account: $3,000

  • $150,000 Account: $6,000

Standard Plan

  • $50,000 Account: $2,500

  • $100,000 Account: $3,500

  • $150,000 Account: $5,000

Once your trailing drawdown reaches your starting balance, it will lock and no longer trail. This locked level becomes your permanent maximum loss threshold.


Consistency Rule

The consistency rule depends on the account type:

  • Rapid Plan: 40% consistency applies

  • Pro Plan: 0% during evaluation / 35% in funded

  • Instant Standard Plan: 20% consistency applies

  • Standard Plan: No consistency rule

This means your largest winning day cannot exceed the allowed percentage of your total profits. If exceeded, your payout request will remain unavailable until additional profits are made to bring your consistency within the allowed threshold.


News Trading Rule

News trading is permitted on Evaluation Accounts, but it cannot be used as the sole strategy to pass an evaluation. Additional trading activity must be present for proper account review before moving to the funded phase.

On Funded Accounts, trading during red folder news events is restricted.

Prohibited Activities

The following are strictly prohibited during red folder news releases:

  • Opening, closing, or holding trades within 5 minutes before or after the news event.

  • Holding pending orders (including limit orders) within the restricted window.

  • Using strategies designed to exploit immediate news volatility, such as straddles or similar high-speed news-based execution.

  • Disguising news-driven trades as part of a regular trading strategy.

What counts as Red Folder News?

Red folder news refers to high-impact events listed on Forex Factory

, including but not limited to:

  • FOMC Meetings & Minutes

  • CPI

  • Employment Reports

  • Jerome Powell Speeches

  • JOLTS

  • PMI

  • PPI

  • Unemployment Claims

  • EIA Reports (Energy traders)

  • Agricultural Reports (Agricultural traders)

Trading during other news events is allowed, but traders should remain cautious due to possible volatility, slippage, or platform disruptions.Stop Loss Rules

Using a stop loss is not mandatory, but it is strongly encouraged as part of proper risk management.

Trading without proper risk controls, using excessive lot sizing, inconsistent position sizing, or “all-in” strategies may be considered reckless trading behavior and may result in 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 recovery-based strategies


Copy Trading

Copy trading is permitted only between accounts legally owned by the same trader.

This includes:

  • Your own Blue Guardian Futures accounts

  • Your own personal external accounts

Copying trades from signal providers, third parties, groups, or allowing others to trade on your behalf is strictly prohibited.


Microscalping Rule

Scalping is allowed; however, micro scalping is restricted.

To remain compliant:

  • At least 50% of your total trades must be held for more than 30 seconds.

  • Excessive reliance on ultra-short duration trades may be considered micro scalping.

Failure to comply may result in profit removal, payout review, or further account action.


Rewards & Payout Structure

At Blue Guardian Futures, our payout structure is designed to reward consistency while maintaining account stability.


Profit Split

Funded traders receive:

  • 100% profit split on the first $15,000 earned

  • 90% profit split on all profits after $15,000

This applies across all funded account models.

Payout Targets

For All funded accounts except pro accounts, traders must meet profit milestones before requesting payouts:

1st Payout

  • 6% of starting balance

2nd Payout

  • 4% of starting balance

3rd Payout and beyond

  • 4% of starting balance

Example:

For a $50,000 account:

  • 1st payout target: $3,000

  • 2nd payout target: $2,000

  • 3rd payout target: $2,000


Pro Account Flexibility

Pro funded accounts do not follow payout targets.

Once the funded buffer is met, traders may withdraw 50% of profits above the buffer after meeting payout requirements. This gives traders greater flexibility and faster access to profits.


Account Buffer

To be eligible for a payout, traders must first meet both the required profit target and the buffer requirement.

Please note that payouts can only be requested from profits earned above the buffer amount, meaning the buffer must remain intact at all times when submitting a payout request.
