Account Rules

How the Maximum Drawdown Works ​▼

Maximum Drawdown System — Blue Guardian Futures
Blue Guardian Futures uses a Trailing End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown system.
This means the drawdown moves based only on the end-of-day closing balance, not intraday floating profits.
📌 The goal is to encourage stable trading and prevent excessive risk-taking.
---
How does it work?
▫️ When the daily closing balance increases, the drawdown limit increases with it.
▫️ When the drawdown reaches the account’s initial balance
It stops trailing and locks at: initial balance + $100.
---
Examples
▫️ 50K account: the drawdown locks at $52,100.
▫️ 100K account: it locks at $103,100.
▫️ 150K account: it locks at $156,100.
---
📌 After the drawdown is locked, it will not move again even if the account balance increases later.

Fast Scalping ​▼

The Difference Between Scalping and Microscalping
Scalping — Allowed ✅
Opening short-term trades for a few minutes with reasonable point targets.
Example: targeting 5–10 points over a few minutes.
---
Microscalping — Prohibited ❌
Opening and closing trades within a few seconds to target very small points or fractions of a point.
📌 The firm considers this an exploitation of the simulated environment and idealized execution.
---
Why is microscalping prohibited?
Because it may lead to:
▪️ Exploiting simulated execution differences
▪️ Unrealistic results compared with real market conditions
▪️ Distorting the trading environment
▪️ Relying on ideal execution that does not exist in real conditions
---
Penalties
If a violation is detected, the firm may:
▪️ Close the account
▪️ Forfeit profits
▪️ Reject funding after passing
▪️ Refuse a refund

Reset ​▼

Can a funded account be reset at Blue Guardian Futures?
No ❌
The firm currently does not offer resets for funded accounts.
---
What about evaluation accounts?
Evaluation accounts can be reset.
At a reduced price of 30% of the account’s original price.
---
Reset Availability Period
After failing an evaluation account, you have 7 days
to decide whether to reset the account.
📌 The goal is to give traders a chance to adjust their strategy before reaching a funded account.

Consistency Rule ​▼

Consistency Rule — Blue Guardian Futures
The consistency rule applies in:
▫️ Evaluation stage
▫️ Funded accounts
📌 The rule means that one profitable day cannot equal or exceed the specified consistency percentage of total profits.
---
Evaluation Stage
If one day’s profit exceeds the consistency percentage, trading must continue until the ratio falls below the required limit.
---
Example
If you make $1,300 in one day on a 50K Standard account
Your total profit must reach at least $3,250 to pass the account, even if the original profit target is only $3,000.
---
Calculation Method
Highest profitable day ÷ total profits
Example:
1300 ÷ 3000 = 43%
📌 Since the ratio is above 40%, trading must continue until it decreases.
---
Funded Accounts
If one day’s profit equals or exceeds the consistency percentage
❌ You will not be able to request a payout
until the highest profitable day ratio falls within the allowed limit.
---
⚠️ A consistency-rule breach is not an account breach.
The account remains active, but additional profits must be generated to adjust the ratio.

Overnight Holding ​▼

❌ Overnight holding is not allowed
❌ Weekend holding is also not allowed

Maximum Funding ​▼

How many funded accounts are allowed at Blue Guardian Futures?
You can have up to 3 funded accounts.
---
📌 To add accounts beyond this limit:
You must continue paying the monthly fees for the additional evaluation accounts.
This means you can stack additional accounts, but their monthly evaluation subscription remains active.

Expert Advisors / Automated Trading ​▼

Automated Trading and Bots
Prohibited ❌
▪️ Fully automated bots and trading systems
▪️ AI systems that trade independently
▪️ Continuous 24/7 automated trading
▪️ High-frequency automated scalping
especially systems exceeding 200 trades per day.
---
Allowed ✅
Only semi-automated trading is allowed, provided that:
▫️ The trader personally monitors the trades
▫️ The trader manually intervenes in management and execution

Price Limit ​▼

2% Price Limit Rule — Blue Guardian Futures
Blue Guardian Futures prohibits trading within 2%
of CME price limits.
📌 The goal of this rule is to protect traders from:
▫️ Extreme volatility
▫️ Market halts
▫️ Major slippage
---
What is a Price Limit?
It is the maximum allowed movement for a futures contract during a trading session.
When this limit is reached, the market may:
▫️ Pause trading temporarily
▫️ Or halt the market according to CME rules
---
How can you identify Price Limit levels?
They depend on:
▫️ The previous day’s closing price
▫️ The contract type
▫️ The session type, overnight or regular
📌 They are updated daily at 01:05 AM Baghdad / Makkah time.
---
Covered Products
Examples include ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, RTY, YM, and others.
📌 Overnight limits for some indices were raised from 5%
to 7%.
---
How to avoid a violation?
▫️ Monitor % Net Change on your platform
▫️ Track CME Price Limit levels
▫️ Avoid trading near the 2% limit zone
---
Why does the firm apply this rule?
Because trading near CME limits exposes traders to:
▫️ Sudden halts
▫️ Poor execution
▫️ Large losses due to volatility
📌 Therefore, the firm considers understanding contract limits and risk management an essential part of professional trading.

Inactivity Rule ​▼

If the account remains inactive with no trades for 7 days during the evaluation or funded stage, it will be permanently closed.

KYC Verification ​▼

KYC and AML Policy — Blue Guardian Futures
Blue Guardian Futures applies identity verification and anti-money-laundering checks (KYC/AML) to all payout requests.
---
When is KYC required?
📌 Verification is required when:
▫️ Requesting funded-account payouts
▫️ Or withdrawing affiliate commissions
Verification is completed only once per user.
⚠️ Only one verified profile is allowed per person.
---
Required Documents
Proof of Identity (PoI)

▫️ Passport
▫️ National ID
▫️ Driver’s license
Along with a selfie or live video that matches the identity document.
---
Proof of Address (PoA)

▫️ Lease agreement
▫️ Card statement
▫️ Government letter
📌 If the ID includes the full address, it may sometimes be accepted, but the proof of address must be different from the proof of identity.
---
AML Screening

▫️ Global sanctions lists
▫️ Politically Exposed Persons (PEP)
▫️ Negative media reports
---
