Twelve ways in

Which way in costs least?

For the size and market you pick: each plan at the price you pay, its activation fee when one is published, and how many evaluation attempts cost less than one instant account of the same market. No pass rate is assumed.

At $50K: each way in at the price you pay, against one Direct account ($371).

Payout rules

Blue Guardian Futures payout rules: the path to your first payout

Worked on the account you pick. Standard, Express and Reserve publish what bounds each payout, so the first three are worked out; Direct lists its rules, since its pages disagree on the drawdown.

Direct $50K: from purchase to the payout rules

How to read it: no published cap, withdrawal target or share of the profit bounds each request here, so no balance is drawn: the stations list the rules that decide each payout.

Consistency

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.

  1. Instant $100K: no single trading day may reach 20% of the total profit; with equal days that takes at least 6 profitable days, and the payout rule already asks for 5.
  2. Reserve $50K evaluation: the $3,000 target with a best day of at most $1,530 (50% plus the 1% cushion).
  3. Direct $50K: the first request needs the $3,000 goal with a best day of about $600 (20%).
