The clauses that decide whether you keep the account. Quoted from Blue Guardian's own terms — check the current version before you trade.

10 rules here break the account

Breaking one of these fails the evaluation or voids a payout outright.

General

Minimum of 5 trading days
Watch out

A day counts only if at least one position is opened and closed. Hitting the profit target sooner does not shorten the requirement.

Risk & drawdown

Trailing drawdown of 6%
Breaks the account

Loss limit follows your highest equity, tightening as you profit. Breaching it ends the account immediately, whether or not the position later recovers.
Guardian Shield closes your trades at 2% unrealised loss
Breaks the account

The first trigger cuts your profit split from 90% to 50%. The second terminates the account permanently. It acts on floating loss, so a position that would later have recovered still counts.
Daily loss limit of 3%
Breaks the account

Measured from the balance at the daily reset. Floating losses on open positions count toward it the moment they occur, not when the trade is closed.

Trading style

News trading is permitted

You may hold through high-impact releases. Spreads widen and slippage counts toward your loss limits, so the risk is yours rather than the rule's.
Expert advisors are allowed

Automated strategies may be used, provided they do not exploit latency, pricing errors or the demo feed.
Positions may be held over the weekend

Weekend gaps count toward your drawdown in full. Swap charges apply from Wednesday.

Instruments

Crypto trades at reduced leverage of 1:2

Crypto is available outside market hours, but at a fraction of the leverage offered on FX and it is excluded from any news-trading exemption.
Maximum leverage of 1:100

This is the headline figure and applies to FX. Indices, commodities and crypto are each capped lower — see the instruments table for the class you trade.

Payouts

Your first $15,000 of profit is paid in full

Blue Guardian takes nothing from the first $15,000 you make. The 90/10 split applies only to profit above that.
Payouts every 14 days

The cycle runs from your last approved request, not from the calendar month. A request made early resets the clock rather than bringing the next one forward.
First payout after 5 days
Watch out

Counted from the day the funded account is issued. Completed KYC is required before the first request is released.
A rule breach voids the payout attached to it
Breaks the account

Requests are reviewed against the trading rules before release. A confirmed breach voids that payout, and repeat breaches close the account.

Account management

One funded account per trader
Breaks the account

Accounts linked by identity documents, payment method, IP address or trading pattern are treated as one. Undisclosed duplicates are closed and their profit forfeited.
The account may not be shared or managed by anyone else
Breaks the account

You must trade the account yourself. Handing credentials to a third party, including an account manager, ends the arrangement.

Prohibited practices

Margin usage above 80% is a gambling violation
Breaks the account

Exceeding 80% margin usage can terminate the account outright. Traders generally hold usage between 20% and 30% to stay well clear.
High-frequency and latency arbitrage are prohibited
Breaks the account

Strategies that depend on execution speed, price-feed delay or tick scalping are treated as exploiting the platform rather than trading it.
Copy trading between accounts is not allowed
Breaks the account

Mirroring trades across accounts, your own included, is grounds for closure of every linked account.
Martingale and grid strategies are prohibited
Watch out

Doubling into a losing position, or layering a grid without a defined stop, counts as a prohibited risk strategy.
No tick scalping under two minutes
Breaks the account

Positions held under two minutes as a systematic strategy, along with latency and reverse arbitrage, are treated as exploiting the platform rather than trading it.

Trust breakdown

How the score in the panel above is arrived at.

Rating 60/100 · 35% of the score
Volume 13/100 · 15% of the score
Payouts 30/100 · 20% of the score
Checks 60/100 · 15% of the score
Conduct 100/100 · 15% of the score

Rating is the star average. Volume is a confidence curve on how many reviews there are — it saturates, so review 300 counts for far less than review 3. Payouts counts approved payout proofs, the hardest evidence available. Checks counts platform-side disclosures. Conduct starts full and is reduced by upheld complaints.

About the firm

In their own words

The firm's own description of itself.

Blue Guardian pays 100% of your first $15,000 in profit and 90% after that, which is the most generous split structure in this catalogue. It has run from Dubai since 2021, originally as a signal and education service before becoming a prop firm.The mechanism that pays for that split is Guardian Shield. It automatically closes your trades when unrealised loss reaches 2%. The first time it triggers, your profit split is cut to 50%. The second time, the account is terminated permanently. That is a materially harsher consequence than a normal drawdown breach at most firms, and it fires on floating loss rather than realised loss.The rest is competitive: EOD trailing drawdown, a 9% target against a 3% daily and 6% trailing limit, instant funding to $400,000 and scaling to $4M. Margin usage above 80% is separately treated as a gambling violation.

FAQ

It is an automatic risk control that closes your open trades once unrealised loss reaches 2%. The first trigger cuts your profit split from 90% to 50%. The second terminates the account permanently. It fires on floating loss, so a position that would have recovered can still cost you.

Yes, on your first $15,000 of profit, and it is not a paid add-on. After that the split is 90%. It is the most generous structure in this catalogue — Guardian Shield is what pays for it.

Margin usage above 80% is treated as gambling and can terminate the account. In practice, traders keep usage in the 20–30% range to stay clear of it.
