# Blue Guardian Futures Rules: Drawdown, Payouts & Copiers

Blue Guardian Futures runs an end-of-day trailing drawdown, a flat 90% profit split on funded accounts, and a copy-trading policy that allows only same-owner accounts. If you’re trying to figure out whether you can automate a Blue Guardian account with a TradingView strategy, the short answer is: partially, and only if you stay hands-on. Here’s what the firm’s own rules actually say.

## What Is Blue Guardian Futures’ Maximum Drawdown Rule? {#what-is-blue-guardian-futures-maximum-drawdown-rule}

Blue Guardian Futures uses an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown on its Standard and Reserve accounts. The drawdown trails your daily closing balance up to your starting balance, then locks in place as a permanent maximum loss limit. On the Standard Account, a $25,000 account locks at $26,600, a $50,000 account locks at $52,100, a $100,000 account locks at $103,600, and a $150,000 account locks at $156,100, per the firm’s Standard Account Rules page.

The Direct Account works a little differently: its EOD trailing drawdown goes static once the account exceeds its initial trail balance or a trader requests their first payout, ranging from $1,500 on a $25,000 account up to $4,500 on a $150,000 account.

Daily loss limits vary by account type. Standard Accounts carry a 2% daily loss limit, except the $25,000 size, which has none. Reserve Accounts have no daily loss limit by default, though traders can buy one as an add-on. Direct Accounts (purchased on or after July 21) apply fixed dollar daily loss limits between $1,000 and $3,000, and breaching them auto-closes open positions.

> Blue Guardian Futures’ Standard Account Rules state the maximum trailing drawdown “follows an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing model” that locks once the account’s balance reaches its starting value, becoming a fixed maximum loss limit for the rest of the account’s life.

## How Do the Three Account Types Compare on Rules? {#how-do-the-three-account-types-compare-on-rules}

Blue Guardian Futures sells three main account structures, and the rules differ enough that mixing them up will cost you a payout. Here’s the comparison based directly on the firm’s help center articles.

| Rule | Standard Account | Reserve Account | Direct Account |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Drawdown type | EOD trailing, locks at starting balance | EOD trailing, locks at starting balance | EOD trailing, goes static after trail balance exceeded or first payout |
| Drawdown ($100K size) | Locks at $103,600 | $3,000 max | $3,500 |
| Daily loss limit | 2% (none on $25K) | None by default (optional add-on) | Fixed $ amount, $1,000–$3,000 |
| Profit target (Phase 1) | 6% | 6% | None, no evaluation phase |
| Consistency rule | 40% on funded accounts | 50% on challenge accounts (51% with cushion) | 20%–30%, scales with payout number |
| Minimum days for payout | Not specified | At least 5 winning days | Not specified |

Direct skips the evaluation phase entirely, which is why it has no profit target, but its consistency rule scales stricter with each payout you request.

## What’s the Blue Guardian Futures Payout Split and Schedule? {#whats-the-blue-guardian-futures-payout-split-and-schedule}

Every funded Blue Guardian Futures trader keeps a 90% profit split, according to the firm’s Payout Policy page. On $2,000 in profit, that’s $1,800 to the trader and $200 to the firm. Payout timing depends on account type: Standard Account traders become payout-eligible three days after their first trade, while Reserve Account traders need at least five winning days with minimum profit thresholds ranging from $100 to $250 depending on account size.

Once you request a payout, Blue Guardian says it processes payouts “within 24 business hours” and backs that with a 24-Hour Payout Guarantee: if the firm misses that window due to its own delay, you get an extra 10% profit share as compensation. The minimum withdrawal is $500 for both crypto and Rise payouts, and all payouts carry a 3% processing fee, so the amount that lands in your account will be slightly less than the certificate total.

## Is Copy Trading or Automated Trading Allowed on Blue Guardian Futures? {#is-copy-trading-or-automated-trading-allowed-on-blue-guardian-futures}

This is the part most traders actually care about, and the rules have real teeth. Blue Guardian Futures’ Prohibited Trading Strategies page draws a clear line: copy trading and third-party copier software are allowed, but only “between accounts legally owned by the same trader.” Copying signals from another trader, a paid signal group, or letting someone else manage your account triggers an account review and possible termination.

Automation gets a stricter treatment. The same page states that “AI, bots, and other fully automated trading mechanisms are strictly prohibited across all account types.” Semi-automated trading is permitted, but only when a trader is actively monitoring positions and understands what the system is doing, not running it hands-off around the clock. The firm also restricts high-frequency automated scalping, capping systems that exceed roughly 200 trades a day, and separately limits micro-scalping (trades held under 10 seconds) to less than 50% of total profits.

In practice, this means a Blue Guardian trader connecting TradingView alerts through PickMyTrade should stay at the charts while signals fire, treating the automation as an execution assistant rather than a set-and-forget bot. That’s the difference between the “semi-automated with oversight” category the rules allow and the “fully hands-off” category they ban.

## Should You Automate Blue Guardian Futures with PickMyTrade? {#should-you-automate-blue-guardian-futures-with-pickmytrade}

If you trade a rules-based TradingView strategy on your own Blue Guardian Futures account, PickMyTrade sends your alerts straight to Tradovate or another supported broker without manual order entry. That fits the firm’s semi-automated allowance, as long as you’re watching the account rather than letting a bot run unattended.

PickMyTrade doesn’t interpret Blue Guardian’s rules for you. Firm policies change, so check Blue Guardian’s current terms on PickMyTrade’s [supported prop firm listing](https://pickmytrade.trade/supported-propfirms) before connecting a funded account, and again after any plan change, since Direct, Reserve, and Standard accounts don’t share identical restrictions.

## Frequently Asked Questions {#frequently-asked-questions}

### Does Blue Guardian Futures use a trailing or static drawdown? {#does-blue-guardian-futures-use-a-trailing-or-static-drawdown}

It’s a trailing drawdown calculated end-of-day, meaning it moves with your closing balance until it reaches your starting balance, then locks in place as a static maximum loss limit for the account’s remaining life.

### What percentage do I keep on a Blue Guardian Futures payout? {#what-percentage-do-i-keep-on-a-blue-guardian-futures-payout}

90%. Blue Guardian’s Payout Policy confirms all funded traders receive a 90% profit split, with a 3% processing fee applied to the payout amount.

### Can I use a trade copier with my Blue Guardian Futures account? {#can-i-use-a-trade-copier-with-my-blue-guardian-futures-account}

Yes, but only to copy trades between accounts you legally own. Copying trades from another trader’s account or signal service is prohibited and can lead to account termination.

### Is fully automated trading allowed on Blue Guardian Futures? {#is-fully-automated-trading-allowed-on-blue-guardian-futures}

No. Blue Guardian’s rules prohibit AI, bots, and other fully automated mechanisms across all account types. Semi-automated trading is allowed only with active manual monitoring.

### How long does a Blue Guardian Futures payout take to process? {#how-long-does-a-blue-guardian-futures-payout-take-to-process}

The firm states payouts process within 24 business hours and offers a 10% bonus profit share if it misses that window due to its own delay. Minimum withdrawal is $500.
