What the rules mean in practice
- There is no evaluation. You trade a funded $5K account from day one, so the loss limits are the only rules between you and a payout.
- On any single day you can lose up to $150 (3%). Check Blue Guardian's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $250 (5%). This is balance trailing drawdown: the loss limit rises with your closed balance as you make profit, so it follows your gains.
- Consistency rule: Best day must be under 15% of total profit
- At a 90% split, you need about 0.6% return on the funded account to earn back the $27 fee.
- Payouts: one payout only, after which the account is closed.
- Can be bought once per trader. Profit is capped at $250 (5%), and the payout is made in crypto only.
- The 5% maximum loss trails the highest closed balance and stops at the starting balance after a 5% gain.
- Guardian Shield closes positions at a 1% floating loss.
- News trading is allowed.
- The checkout lists a $27 regular price but was selling the account below that on the check date.
