Overview
Straight to it: Blue Guardian has been running since 2023 out of United States, with entry starting around From $89. It’s a firm we keep an eye on because the rules and payouts have stayed consistent. The full breakdown of evaluation, platforms, and payouts is below.
Getting funded runs through a 2-Step evaluation, with drawdown tracked on a Static basis — worth understanding before you start, since it decides how much room you really have on a bad day. You’ll be trading on MT5, cTrader, keeping 90% standard rising to 100% of what you make. Withdrawals were processing in 24-hour guarantee (or split rises) when we last checked. The tabs above break each of these down — rules, platforms, and payout experience — with the fine print that actually matters.
✅ What We Like
- Scales to $4 million, putting it right alongside FundedNext and The5ers at the top of this list for ceiling size
- A unique payout mechanic: miss the 24-hour window and the trader's split rises to 100% as compensation
- 90% starting split, high relative to most competitors' standard tier
- Weekend holds and news trading both allowed
❌ What Could Be Better
- Founded in 2023, without the multi-year track record FTMO or The5ers have built
- Reaching that full 100% split depends on the firm missing its own guarantee — an odd thing to bank on rather than a standard scaling plan
- A smaller funded trader base than the category leaders
Score Breakdown
Evaluation Rules
The drawdown here is static — your loss limit is fixed from the starting balance and never moves up as you profit. If you start a $100K account with a 10% max drawdown, the floor stays at $90K no matter how high your equity climbs. This is the most forgiving model for traders who bank profits early, because winning never shrinks your room for error.

Trading Platforms
MT4's successor — faster backtesting, more timeframes, depth-of-market, and native support for more asset classes. Most newer firms have standardised on it.
Known for clean charting and transparent level-II pricing. Favoured by scalpers for its execution detail. Rare among prop firms, so support here is a genuine differentiator.
A white-label platform many newer prop firms adopted after MetaTrader licensing tightened. Functional, web-based, though with a smaller tool ecosystem.
Payouts
Payout reliability matters more than any headline number — a generous split means nothing if withdrawals stall. Blue Guardian was processing withdrawals in 24-hour guarantee (or split rises) when we last verified this review. If you've withdrawn from this firm recently and your experience differs, use the report link at the bottom of this review.
Our Honest Verdict
The payout-guarantee-or-100%-split mechanic is a clever bit of structural confidence — it only pays off for the trader if the firm underperforms its own promise. Combined with a genuinely high $4 million ceiling, this one's worth watching, tempered by the fact it's only been around a few years.
