Blue Guardian $100,000 Futures Reserve Account Rules
Exact dollar thresholds, breach math, and verified sources for this tier.
All-In Cost to First Payout
Sticker price vs real cost — All-In Quantitative Fee Model
If you pass first try
Assumes pass on first attempt. Add 1–2 resets for realistic avg (FPFX: only 7% get payout).
Realistic (1 reset avg)
Non-refundable — every reset is sunk cost
Assumes 1 reset(s). Data fees vary by platform. FPFX base rate: ~7% ever get payout — budget for resets.
Methodology: challenge + resets + activation + data + add-ons − documented refund. Futures add $38/mo data + $149 activation where applicable. We never hide reset cost behind “bonus” language.
RISK ANALYSIS
How Can I Fail This Account?
Before spending capital on this evaluation, these are the exact mathematical and operational tripwires that disqualify traders on this specific model.
EOD Floor Steps Up Behind You
Only your daily close moves the maximum-loss floor — intraday peaks bank nothing, but every closing high permanently tightens your room. Grinding up slowly then holding losers overnight is how EOD accounts die.
30-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
30 consecutive days without a trade = automatic lock and revoked credentials. Many pass the evaluation and pause before the next step, losing all progress.
Withdrawal Gates Bite After Passing
5 winning days $200 each + net $1,000 + 50% consistency challenge (51% with cushion) + above initial + drawdown locked at $100,100 after payout; cap 50% up to $2,500; 90% split
Banned Patterns Pass Silently, Fail at Payout
Grid, martingale, all-in sizing, copied signals, and cross-account hedging often trigger no dashboard warning during evaluation — the review lands when you request real money.
COMPLETE RULEBOOK
Every Rule on This Account
Daily drawdown, max drawdown, targets, trading days, payouts, news, holding, automation, inactivity — each rule translated to this 100,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
No Daily Loss Limit
There is no intraday tripwire on this account — no early warning before the end. Only the lifetime maximum protects you, which also means nothing stops a single catastrophic session except your own sizing.
Maximum Loss: 3% (floor starts at $97,000)
End-of-day trailing: only your daily CLOSE moves the floor. It steps up on closing highs, never loosens, and locks at $100,000. Intraday peaks bank nothing. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
Profit Target: 6% ($6,000)
Bank $6,000 from the starting balance to pass. Measured on closed-trade profit — floating P&L does not count until you close.
No Minimum Trading Days
Hit the target in a single session and you pass — no forced grinding. Discipline still applies: every other rule (drawdown, consistency where active, strategy bans) is fully enforced on that one day.
Payouts: Instant (on meeting winning days + net profit) · 90% split
5 winning days $200 each + net $1,000 + 50% consistency challenge (51% with cushion) + above initial + drawdown locked at $100,100 after payout; cap 50% up to $2,500; 90% split. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 90%.
News Trading: Allowed
News allowed on both challenge and funded
Weekend + Overnight Holding: Allowed
Positions may stay open overnight and over the weekend at every stage. Swap charges still apply — and swap counts against your daily and maximum loss limits, with triple-swap days on some instruments.
Expert Advisors / Bots: Allowed
Automation is permitted — but verify whether your firm requires a paid add-on, platform restriction (MT4/MT5 only at some firms), or bot registration before the first automated trade. Unauthorized automation is a standalone violation.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading between your own accounts is permitted — third-party signals and for-hire management stay banned. Hedging inside this single account is fine; mirrored positions across accounts or external brokers are banned.
Inactivity: 30 Days
Place at least one trade every 30 consecutive days or the account is automatically deactivated — no warning email, no extension. This kills more passed evaluations than any market move: traders pass, take a break, and return to revoked credentials.
Consistency Rule Active
50% on challenge only (51% with 1% cushion)
