THE DOSSIER — ACCOUNT DEEP-DIVE
Blue Guardian $5,000 CFD Instant Starter 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.
Daily Loss at 00:00 Rollover
Daily loss is calculated against your day-starting balance/equity. Holding floating drawdown into the 00:00 server reset can breach on spread widening alone.
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 profitable days 0.5% + 15% consistency + above initial + 1% buffer after 5% lock; $100 crypto/$500 Rise; profit cap $250; one payout then closed; Guardian Shield 1% 50%→breach
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 5,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
Daily Loss Limit: 3% ($150/day)
Your daily allowance is fixed off the starting balance and counts open + closed P&L. It resets at 0:00 server time. Intraday profits temporarily widen the buffer, but the base never changes — lose the full allowance in 24 hours and the account is terminated on the spot.
Maximum Loss: 5% (floor starts at $4,750)
Trailing: the floor rises with every new peak, never slides back down, and locks at $5,000 once profits cover the full allowance. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
No Profit Target
This account is funded from day one — there is nothing to pass. Your only job is protecting the trailing maximum while growing toward an on-demand withdrawal.
Minimum Trading Days: 5
You must trade on at least 5 separate days before the phase counts as passed — even if you hit the profit target on day one. A trading day counts when you place at least one trade that closes with non-zero P&L.
Payouts: Instant on-demand — ONE payout only then closed · 90% split
5 profitable days 0.5% + 15% consistency + above initial + 1% buffer after 5% lock; $100 crypto/$500 Rise; profit cap $250; one payout then closed; Guardian Shield 1% 50%→breach. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 90%.
News Trading: Allowed
News allowed on Instant Starter (see starter article)
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
15% consistency (largest day <15% total)
