Liquidity Provider

Prime 1 Step and Prime 2 Step only: the fee is refunded in full once the account has been funded for 30 days and is in profit. Edge and Instant have no refund.

No fixed fee published. Any processing or network fee is shown before you confirm; bank and network charges are paid by the trader.

First payout on demand once funded (on Instant, after the first trade). Then every 7 days; every 14 on Instant Go.

• 1 Step Nano: up to weekly
• 2 Step Nano: bi-weekly
• Other products: 14 days

No guaranteed time: the payout policy neither promises nor estimates one. Every request gets an automatic receipt and every payout a verifiable certificate.

Payouts processed within 24 business hours (Mon 9 AM – Fri 5 PM Dubai time). If they miss this window you automatically receive a 100% profit split on that payout (no Blue Guardian cut). Delays caused by compliance checks, risk reviews or pending KYC do not qualify.

Only with the Weekend Holding add-on. Without it, crypto positions are also closed at 4:45 PM New York time on Friday.

At most $2,000 per account in any 7 days; the rest stays on the account for the next request.

2 Step Nano: 2% of the initial balance per payout ($500 on $25K, $1,000 on $50K, $2,000 on $100K and $4,000 on $200K).

Edge 1 Step and Prime 1 Step: 1% of the starting balance, at most $100. Edge 2 Step and Prime 2 Step: no minimum. Instant: 1% of the starting balance. Crypto payouts: at least $100.

$100 in crypto, $500 via Rise (bank transfer). On 1 Step Standard and Instant accounts, once you reach 6% profit and the trailing drawdown locks at breakeven, a 1% buffer must remain in the account.

Paid add-on with a fixed price per size, from $9 (2.5K) to $146 (200K). Reviewed if profit comes mainly from positions held through the rollover.

Voluntary evaluation reset with no open positions: a new account at 20% off the current price. After a breach, a paid restart for 7 days. Funded accounts can buy a reset while under 10% of the max loss has been used.

Weekend Holding (20% of the fee) and Swap-Free (fixed price per size). Bought with the account and non-refundable.

Automatic 90-day cycles: +30% size (up to 680K; 340K on Instant) and +5 split points. They require 50 trades, 12% net (1 Step), 10% (2 Step) or 15% (Instant), 2 of 3 profitable months (all 3 on Instant and Prime), no trade above 7.5% of profit (5% on Instant and Prime) and no warning.

Static on every plan: the floor stays fixed below the starting balance and is measured on equity, floating loss included. Touching it ends the account.

• Instant, Guardian X, 1 Step Standard, 1 Step Nano, 2 Step Pro, Crypto: Trailing
• 1 Step Pro, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Classic, 2 Step Nano, 3 Step: Static

Edge rises 5 points per scaling cycle up to 95%; Instant Pro up to 90%; Instant Go up to 85%. Prime moves to 100% after 30 days funded and does not rise with scaling. Each strike pays the next payout at 10%.

• Instant: 80%
• Instant Starter: 90%
• With add-on: 90%

One free Edge 1 Step 100K for 14 days under the paid rules, after KYC approval. It never funds or pays out; passing it gives a 20% code valid for 30 days.

Measured from the previous day's closing balance (5 PM New York), floating loss included. Touching it ends the account.

Based on highest value between balance and equity

$1.5M per person across all CFD and futures accounts.

One user per person, with as many accounts as the $1.5M limit allows. Up to 5 accounts per order, with a 10% to 25% bundle discount.

Same-type funded accounts can be merged up to $400,000 ($200,000 cap on Instant). Cross-merging different types (e.g. 2 Step Standard with 2 Step Pro) is NOT allowed. Both accounts must be at break-even (no profit, no loss) at merge time. Beyond the merge cap, the Scaling Plan can take total allocation up to $2,000,000. Guardian X and Instant accounts are NOT eligible for scaling.

No time limit in the evaluation or once funded.

No limit

1 Step Nano: no minimum during the evaluation; 5 days when funded.

Profitable day: a close at +0.5% of the account size. To pass, 3 on 1 Step and 2 per phase on 2 Step. Before each payout: 3 (1 Step), 2 (2 Step), 5 (Instant Go) and none on Instant Pro.

• Instant, 2 Step Standard, Guardian X: 5 days with 0.5% profit or more
• 1 Step, 2 Step Classic, 3 Step, Crypto: 3 days with 0.5% profit or more

Only EAs the trader developed and controls, and can explain and show running. Bought, rented or subscription bots are prohibited.

Hiding your location with a VPN, proxy or remote desktop is prohibited and triggers a new identity check. Your own EA on a VPS is allowed if disclosed.

Within one account, yes. Prohibited across accounts, yours or others', and against other firms or brokers.

Hedging is allowed within a single account. Hedging across multiple accounts (yours or others') is NOT allowed.

Yes. Once funded, trades under 120 seconds may make at most 20% of profit from the tenth closed trade; above that, payouts pause until it is back under. Not measured in the evaluation.

Minimum holding time of 2 minutes. Trades closed in under 2 minutes are flagged as tick scalping and count as a rule violation, whether closed manually or by automated systems. Average trade duration should stay above 1–2 minutes. Scalping itself is allowed as long as you stay above the 2-minute floor.

Grid and martingale strategies that add exposure into losses are prohibited.

Max. Exposure: open notional may not exceed 5,000% of the balance at 2.5K down to 1,000% at 200K. Funded accounts also have a max floating loss per trade. Each gives a warning that, if the account is in profit, resets it to the starting balance; the second ends the account. Instant: max 1.5% floating loss per symbol.

Only to copy your own trading: between your own CFD accounts or from your own master account at another broker or firm. Signals and third-party accounts are prohibited.

Manual copy trading is allowed ONLY between accounts legally owned by the same person (e.g. between your own Evaluation and Funded accounts, or between your Blue Guardian account and external accounts in your name). NOT allowed:

• Copying trades from other traders' accounts.
• Third-party copiers that involve accounts not legally yours.
• Having a third party manage your trades.

Instant Funding users may also use third-party copiers, provided all accounts belong to the same user.

Allowed at every stage. Straddling is prohibited: opposite or offsetting positions on the same or correlated instruments within 15 minutes of a red or amber release; the risk desk reviews it.

News trading is allowed on Challenge, Guardian X and Instant Starter.

It is NOT allowed on Instant Standard and Funded accounts. On those, do not open or close trades within 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after a red folder (high-impact) release. Profits made during that window or significantly influenced by the news will be removed, even without an account violation. Same 5-minute window applies around FOMC speeches, statements and news events on Funded accounts.

Note: Instant Standard accounts purchased after November 13, 2025 cannot do news trading at all.

30 days without a closed trade ends the account.

30 days

No best-day rule. A single trade may not exceed 60% of profit; if it does, payouts pause until it is back under. On funded Prime, every 7 days the trade count and volume per instrument must stay within ±25% of the average, or the account moves to a standard funded account.

Consistency rule applies to: 1 Step Nano evaluation and funded (50%), 2 Step Nano funded (50%), 2 Step Pro funded (25%), Guardian X and Instant Standard funded (20%), Instant Starter funded (15%), $300K and $400K Instant funded (15%).

Does NOT apply to: 2 Step Nano evaluation, 1 Step Standard, 1 Step Pro, 2 Step Standard, 2 Step Classic, 3 Step funded accounts, nor to any other challenge phase.

Calculation: a single trading day cannot equal or exceed the threshold of total profits in the payout cycle. If exceeded, the payout button is blocked until the highest day drops below the threshold. Violating it does NOT terminate the account.

Only with the add-on. Without it, positions are closed at 4:45 PM New York time on Friday: the first time is a warning, the second ends the account.

Latency or price-error arbitrage, hedging across accounts or firms, coordinated trading, third-party management, bought bots, gap exploitation, grid and martingale, doubling size after a loss the same day, swap-free abuse and churning accounts. At most 20% of profit may come from the 21:00 to 22:59 UTC window.

• Platform or data freezing exploits (using a Demo Server error).
• Use of delayed data feed or trading on delayed charts.
• Tick scalping (trades closed under 2 minutes), high-frequency trading, arbitrage bots.
• Reverse arbitrage, latency arbitrage, hedge arbitrage and any emulators.
• Hedging between accounts (within one account is fine).
• Password changes (the password sent by email is the only one accepted).
• Gambling: any trading where margin usage exceeds 80% on running trades.
• Shared devices, VPS or accounts: each trader must use only their personal device. Shared usage across accounts results in payout disqualification, suspension or termination.
• Bypassing copy-trading or signal-trading rules using VPN/VPS.
• Account inactivity: at least 1 trade every 30 days (otherwise breach).
