Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Single-stage evaluation path that leads to funded access after objectives are met.

Blue Guardian uses evaluation-style and instant-funded models. On challenge-based models, traders must hit the target, complete the minimum trading days, and then pass final review before becoming a Guardian/Funded Trader. Instant models skip the evaluation and begin directly on funded capital under their own payout rules.
Standard funded payouts become available after 14 calendar days from the first trade and then every 14 days. Instant accounts can have immediate eligibility subject to consistency and minimum trading-day rules, and a 7-Day Payout add-on is available. Blue Guardian also advertises a 24-business-hour payout guarantee that upgrades the payout to 100% profit share if missed.
Model-dependent. Instant Account documentation explicitly lists leverage up to 1:30 for Forex, 1:10 for Indices and Commodities, and 1:2 for Crypto. Other models differ enough that leverage should be treated as account-structure-specific rather than universal.

Two-stage evaluation path that must be completed before funded access.

Immediate funded-access path that skips a traditional evaluation.

Blue Guardian supports multiple structures including 2-Step Classic, 2-Step Pro, 1-Step Pro, Guardian X, Instant Starter, and Instant Account. Challenge, instant, and funded-stage rules differ materially, especially around news trading, drawdown, and payout conditions.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

Official restricted countries include Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cuba, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal, Singapore, Syria, and Vietnam.

For non-futures firms, this section summarizes challenge fees, commissions, spreads, swaps, activation costs, and other trader-facing cost notes when exact structured fee rows are not yet normalized.
Blue Guardian's trader-facing costs combine the challenge purchase price with payout-model add-ons such as 90% profit split or 7-day payout upgrades. The forex side does not foreground a separate CFD-style commission schedule on the current help pages as clearly as it does its payout timing and model pricing.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
EAs and trade copiers are allowed as long as they support the trader's own strategy and comply with Blue Guardian's copy-trading and anti-abuse rules.
Blue Guardian allows EAs and trade copiers between accounts legally owned by the same user, including external accounts the trader personally owns. Copying other traders, using third parties to manage trades, or using copier software tied to accounts not legally owned by the trader is prohibited.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

EAs are allowed. Trade copiers are allowed between accounts legally owned by the same user, including Blue Guardian accounts and the trader's own external accounts. Copying another trader's account or using third parties to manage trades is prohibited.

Microscalping Policy
Scalping is allowed, but tick scalping is prohibited. Blue Guardian treats sub-2-minute tick scalping as a rule violation.
Bots Policy

Automation is allowed, but Blue Guardian prohibits abusive bot behavior such as tick scalping, high-frequency trading, arbitrage bots, delayed-feed exploitation, and other demo-environment abuse.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Trading-hour restrictions are model-dependent. Instant accounts explicitly allow overnight and weekend trading, while funded accounts on standard challenge paths restrict opening or closing around high-impact news and FOMC windows. Blue Guardian's broader account rules remain instrument- and model-specific rather than one universal session schedule.
Move to Live Criteria

Blue Guardian uses evaluation-style and instant-funded models. On challenge-based models, traders must hit the target, complete the minimum trading days, and then pass final review before becoming a Guardian/Funded Trader. Instant models skip the evaluation and begin directly on funded capital under their own payout rules.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Blue Guardian says abusive strategies can lead to account closure, and model pages explain that restricted-news violations can result in profit removal or further review. Guardian Shield breaches are treated as soft breaches at first but can permanently breach the account after repeat violations.

Refund Policy

Blue Guardian says all sales are final once evaluation credentials have been emailed. Chargebacks can lead to suspension of membership or evaluation accounts and recovery of previously paid profit splits.

Activation Fee Policy

No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced. Traders purchase a challenge or instant-funded model, and funded progression follows the model rules.

VPN Policy
VPNs and VPS are allowed, but Blue Guardian says using them to bypass copy-trading, group-trading, or signal-trading restrictions is prohibited and can result in account failure and termination.
Payout Methods

Standard funded payouts become available after 14 calendar days from the first trade and then every 14 days. Instant accounts can have immediate eligibility subject to consistency and minimum trading-day rules, and a 7-Day Payout add-on is available. Blue Guardian also advertises a 24-business-hour payout guarantee that upgrades the payout to 100% profit share if missed.
