Blue Guardian rules

Drawdown
Futures accounts follow an end-of-day trailing drawdown; once you withdraw, the drawdown floor locks at the starting balance plus $100. Instant CFD accounts set a 3% daily loss and a 6% trailing max drawdown.
Consistency requirement
For Standard futures, the evaluation has no consistency rule, but funded accounts use a 40% rule. Direct futures applies 20% at first, 25% next, and 30% on later payouts.
Trading on news
You can trade news on Standard futures accounts and Direct ones. If you buy an Instant Standard CFD account after 13 November 2025, news trading isn't allowed on it.
Scalping, HFT
On futures, trades held under 10 seconds may make up less than 50% of total profits. Instant CFD accounts set a 2 minute minimum holding time.
Automated bots and EAs
You may use Expert Advisors on Instant CFD accounts.
Trade copying
Only accounts legally owned by the same trader may copy trades. Copying other traders is prohibited, and so is letting third parties trade.
Weekend and overnight
CFD account types let you hold trades overnight and over weekends without any restrictions.
