Blue Guardian rules at a glance

02 · What stands out
What stands out in the Blue Guardian rulebook
No consistency rule is published on the CFD side, and the payout commitment is backed by a penalty: processing beyond 24 hours pays an additional $1,000. Splits reach 90%. The futures programme sits alongside the CFD one with its own set of exchange driven rules.
The minimum trading day requirement is not published, which is the notable gap. Ask support for the number in writing before buying, and ask whether it is counted per phase. Then decide the floor deliberately: 8% static is the more forgiving choice for anyone who holds positions, 6% trailing suits a trader who banks profit quickly.
Compare against the least constrained rulebook here
Meridian Funded sits first in this directory because of what its rules do not contain: no consistency requirement in evaluation, no minimum days on Instant Zero, and a floor that locks rather than ratchets.
03 · Max loss
Blue Guardian maximum drawdown rules
The limit that ends an account with no appeal. Two floors of the same size behave nothing alike once one of them starts following your equity upward.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum loss | 6% trailing or 8% static | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
The published figure is 6% trailing or 8% static. Confirm on the plan page whether it trails and whether it locks at the starting balance.
An unpublished figure is a reserved option. Ask for it, and if the answer does not arrive in writing, price the account as though the rule is strict.
04 · Daily loss
Blue Guardian daily loss limit and reset
The limit that closes accounts on ordinary days. Know the reset hour before the first trade, not after the first bad one.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limit | 3% to 4% | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
The published figure is 3% to 4%. Ask support for the reset time and timezone in writing if it is not on the rules page.
Where a firm has not published a number, treat the rule as open rather than absent. Get it in writing, then compare.
05 · Consistency
Blue Guardian consistency rule
The rule that decides whether a concentrated style fits inside this account at all. Check the figure, then check when it starts applying.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Consistency rule | None published on CFD | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
The published position is: None published on CFD.
Where a firm has not published a number, treat the rule as open rather than absent. Get it in writing, then compare.
06 · Minimum days
Blue Guardian minimum trading days
How much activity the firm requires before it will act. Low numbers here mean a fast route to funding, high ones mean a built in waiting period.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum trading days | not published | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
The published position is: not published.
This is the kind of gap worth closing before money moves. One message to support, and the answer belongs in your records rather than in your memory.
07 · Trading rules
Blue Guardian news, weekend and automation rules
Restrictions on when and how you may trade. Most tighten the moment the account becomes funded, which is the column to read.
| Firm | News trading | Weekend holding | EAs and bots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Guardian | Varies by plan and stage | Allowed | Allowed, trade copier allowed |
08 · Payouts
Blue Guardian payout rules and cycle
How money leaves the account. The first date you may ask is the figure that matters; the processing window is the one that gets advertised.
| Firm | Processing promise | When you can request |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Guardian | Within 24 hours, or $1,000 added | On demand, weekly or biweekly by plan |
09 · Split
Blue Guardian profit split rules
The share you keep and what it costs to reach the advertised one. These are usually two different numbers.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Profit split | Up to 90% | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
The published range is Up to 90%. Establish the rate that applies to payout one before comparing with another firm.
Ask support for this figure in writing before buying, and keep the reply. A dated answer from support is the only version of a rulebook you can point to later.
10 · Sizes
Blue Guardian account sizes and scaling rules
Account sizes and the route upward. Buying a mid size account and scaling on a published trigger usually beats buying the largest plan outright.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Plans published | Instant, 1 Step, 2 Step + futures | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
Not published in a form that can be quoted. Treat the account as fixed size until the firm states a trigger, an increment and a ceiling.
Where a firm has not published a number, treat the rule as open rather than absent. Get it in writing, then compare.
11 · Platforms
Blue Guardian platform rules
Execution environment. The available platforms constrain what can be automated and which risk management tools you have.
| Field | Published figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Plans published | Instant, 1 Step, 2 Step + futures | Published on the plan pages |
| Basis and detail | not published | Ask support and keep the reply |
Not published in a form that can be quoted. Check the platform on the checkout selector before buying.
Where a firm has not published a number, treat the rule as open rather than absent. Get it in writing, then compare.
12 · Suitability
Who the Blue Guardian rules suit
Traders who want to pick their own drawdown shape, and anyone trading both CFDs and futures who prefers one firm over two. Less suitable if you need every rule published before you commit.
Match the rule set to your own method rather than to a score. The two fields that decide it for most traders are the consistency rule and whether the maximum loss locks, because those are the two that can end an account you are trading correctly. Everything else is a preference.
13 · Compared
Blue Guardian rules compared with Meridian Funded
Two rule sets in the same columns. Meridian Funded sits at the top of this directory because its published constraints are the fewest, which makes the gap in each row easy to read.
| Rule | Meridian Funded | Blue Guardian |
|---|---|---|
| Models | 1, 2, 3-Step, Instant, Instant Zero | Instant, 1 Step, 2 Step + futures |
| Maximum loss | 6% trailing to 10% static; Instant Zero 5% | 6% trailing or 8% static |
| Daily loss | 2.5% to 5% | 3% to 4% |
| Consistency | None in evaluation or on Instant Zero | None published on CFD |
| Minimum days | 3 per phase; none on Instant Zero | not published |
| Profit split | 80% to 90%, up to 100% | Up to 90% |
| Payouts | Within 12h | 24h or +$1,000 |
Start at the consistency row, then the maximum loss row. If both suit you at either firm, the remaining rows are preference rather than survival.
FAQ
Blue Guardian rules: frequently asked questions
Does Blue Guardian have a consistency rule?
Published position: None published on CFD. Read it alongside the payout conditions, because a consistency requirement applied at withdrawal is not a trading rule at all, it is a condition on getting paid for trading you have already done.
What is the maximum drawdown at Blue Guardian?
Published figure: 6% trailing or 8% static. Size your positions against this number rather than against the profit target. The target decides whether you pass, the floor decides whether you are still there to try.
What is the daily loss limit at Blue Guardian?
Published figure: 3% to 4%. Check whether unrealised losses on a position opened yesterday count toward today's limit. On an equity basis they do, which changes how a multi day position should be sized.
How many trading days does Blue Guardian require?
Published position: not published. A firm that sells an add-on removing its own minimum day requirement has priced the rule, which tells you how binding it considers it. That is useful information even if you never buy the add-on.
How fast does Blue Guardian pay out?
Published commitment: 24h or +$1,000. The useful figure is the date of the first request, not the hours it takes to process. Fourteen days to eligibility and twelve hours to process is slower than three days to eligibility and three days to process.
What is the profit split at Blue Guardian?
Published range: Up to 90%. A high advertised split paired with a tight floor is not generosity, it is a trade. The floor pays for the split, and whether that trade suits you depends on how quickly you take profit.
