Discounted figures assume the full 45%; the accepted rate is shown at checkout. Resets, reactivations, data packages and options are separate.

Audit finding: Reserve $25K at $39.60 is the cheapest entry; Standard at $100K costs $69 more than Express but gives $1,000 more drawdown and fixed 8-mini funded sizing.

Drawdown and daily-loss audit

  • The EOD floor follows new highest closing balances, never moves down, and stops at starting balance + $100 ($50,100 on $50K). Intraday gains do not move it; intraday equity can still breach it.
  • An approved payout also locks the floor at starting balance + $100.
  • A daily-loss hit is a soft breach: positions close and trading is suspended for the session; the overall floor remains.
  • Daily limits vary by purchase date (Express September 2 update; Direct July 21 and July 21–26 cohorts).

Contract-limit audit: the funded reset

Standard and Direct keep fixed limits of 1, 4, 8 and 12 minis. Reserve and Express evaluations allow full size, but funded Reserve and Express start at 1, 2, 3 and 3 minis and scale through EOD profit tiers, falling again if the qualifying balance drops. One mini equals ten micros. A trader who passed an Express $100K on 8 minis cannot trade 8 minis on day one of the funded account.

Payout audit by model

Standard$50040% consistency; protected buffer; available 3 days after first tradeRises after first payout
Reserve$5005 winning days of $100/$150/$200/$250; from payout 2 (accounts bought ≥ 27 July 2026) net profit of $500/$750/$1,000/$1,250 since last payoutUp to 50% of profit; size cap
Express$250Buffer $1,100/$2,100/$2,600/$3,600; from payout 2 fresh profit ≥ 50% of previous payoutDaily cap $600/$1,100/$1,500/$2,500

Every payout pays 90% less a 3% processing fee: a $2,000 approved request yields $1,800 less $60 = $1,740.

Rules that end accounts

  • Breaching the active EOD floor, including intraday on floating loss.
  • Fully automated or hands-off trading; semi-automation needs active monitoring.
  • Copying other traders or third-party signals; copying your own accounts is allowed.
  • Hedging across the same or correlated instruments; martingale; simulated-fill exploitation.
  • 50% or more of profit from trades under ten seconds.
  • Inactivity: 30 days on evaluations, 7 days on funded accounts.
  • Trading news is allowed on simulated accounts but prohibited in the Live programme.

Blue Guardian Futures suits: futures traders who want a cheap one-time evaluation with EOD drawdown and fast payouts, and who accept starting small on funded Reserve/Express or paying more for Standard's fixed sizing.

Look elsewhere if: you run bots, you need the evaluation contract size on day one of funding, or you cannot trade weekly.
