## Overview

Blue Guardian runs CFD evaluations on forex, indices, metals and crypto, plus a set of futures plans. Its offices are in Dubai. It suits traders who hold positions overnight or over the weekend and want a choice between one-step, two-step and instant accounts.

### How the evaluation works

- **1 Step Standard:** a 9% target, a 4% daily loss and a 6% drawdown that trails your highest closed balance until you're 6% up, then locks at your starting balance.
- **2 Step Standard:** 8% then 4%, with a 4% daily loss and an 8% static drawdown.
- **Instant:** no evaluation. A 3% daily loss and a 6% trailing drawdown from day one.
- **Futures Standard:** a 6% target with an end-of-day trailing drawdown. The daily limit pauses you for the day and doesn't fail the account.

There's no time limit on any plan. The one- and two-step challenges need 3 trading days with at least 0.5% profit.

### Rules worth knowing

News trading is fine during the challenge. On funded accounts you can't open or close trades 5 minutes either side of high-impact news. Trades must stay open at least 2 minutes. Funded accounts close any trade that reaches a 2% floating loss. You need to trade at least once every 30 days.

### Getting paid

The split is 85% on funded evaluation accounts and 80% on Instant, and an add-on takes either to 90%. The first payout comes 14 days after your first funded trade, then every 14 days. Instant accounts can request payouts on demand after 5 profitable days. Payouts go by crypto or Rise, with a 3% processing fee. The challenge fee comes back after your fourth payout.

## Good

- No time limit on any evaluation
- Weekend and overnight holding allowed on CFD accounts
- Fee refunded after the fourth payout

## Watch for

- News trading blocked around high-impact releases on funded accounts
- 1 Step drawdown trails your highest closed balance
- 3% fee on every payout

## What traders say

Checked 2026-10-06.

- Trustpilot: 3.6 / 5 from 2,095 reviews (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/blueguardian.com)
- Trustpilot (futures): 4 / 5 from 1,808 reviews (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/blueguardianfutures.com)
- Prop Firm Match: 4.1 / 5 from 242 reviews (https://propfirmmatch.com/prop-firms/blue-guardian/reviews)

Reviews of Blue Guardian are mixed. The forex and CFD side sits at 3.6 on Trustpilot from about 2,100 reviews, the futures side shows 4 stars from about 1,800, and Prop Firm Match has 4.1 from 242 reviews (4.2 from 88 for futures). Many traders say payouts land fast and support is friendly. Against that, a sizeable group of low reviews say the firm's automatic loss protection closed trades well past their stop, or that a payout was refused under a rule they hadn't seen. Trustpilot notes it has removed fake reviews from the CFD page.

### What traders like

- **Fast payouts.** Plenty of reviewers on both Trustpilot pages say approved payouts arrived within a day, some within a few hours.
- **Helpful support.** People often name support staff on Discord and live chat who explained the rules or sorted out a problem quickly.
- **Cheap entry.** Low prices, frequent discounts and the small instant accounts come up a lot, especially on Prop Firm Match.

### Common complaints

- **The Guardian Shield and slippage.** Several reviewers on Trustpilot and Forex Peace Army say positions were closed far beyond their stop, often on gold around rollover, and that the shield then counted toward a breach.
- **Rules they say weren't shown.** A recurring complaint is that a consistency rule or payout condition only surfaced when the trader asked to be paid.
- **Payouts refused and accounts closed.** Some traders on Prop Firm Match and Reddit say accounts were terminated at payout time over device or account-linking flags, and that appeals got template replies.
- **Slow support in disputes.** A few futures traders on Reddit and Prop Firm Match say issues sat unresolved for a week or more.

### Recently

- **August 2026:** a review roundup put overall sentiment at a mixed three out of five, and another noted the Trustpilot profile was still flagged.
- **September to October 2026:** low reviews keep returning to payout denials and terminations, including one account dispute aired on both Prop Firm Match and Forex Peace Army. New futures reviews on Trustpilot are mostly about quick first payouts.
