Blue Guardian review: Instant funding, evaluations and futures
Twelve Blue Guardian plans in two markets, from $5K to $400K. Forex accounts you buy funded: Instant from $54, Fast Track and the one-payout Instant Starter; forex evaluations: 1-Step, 2-Step, the Nano pair and BNPL. Futures: Direct, or the Standard, Express and Reserve evaluations. The code PFK was checked in the Blue Guardian cart: it gives the price the plan cards already show with their public code, and BNPL refuses every code.

At $100K: each way in at the price you pay, against one Instant account ($467).

Blue Guardian payout rules: the path to your first payout
Worked on the account you pick. Where a cap, a withdrawal target or a share of the profit bounds each request, the first three payouts are drawn; where the firm publishes no such limit, the stations list the rules instead.

Blue Guardian consistency rule, worked out
The rule changes by plan and by stage: some plans apply it to pass, some only to payouts, some never. Each row is worked at the size shown, from the published figures.
Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.

When can I take the first payout on an Instant account?

Is the Blue Guardian drawdown trailing or static?
It depends on the plan: 1-Step, 1-Step Nano, Instant and BNPL trail your highest closed balance until it locks at the start; 2-Step, 2-Step Nano and Fast Track are static; the futures plans trail at the end of the day.
