Liquidity Provider
$35 flat fee via Rise (for payouts of $1,000 or more). Payouts below $1,000 are paid in crypto and only carry the network fee.
First payout 14 days after the first trade. Every 14 days after that. First payout after 7 days with add-on (+15%).
- Instant Pro: First Payout on Demand is available as a checkout add-on.
- 1 Step Nano: up to weekly
- 2 Step Nano: bi-weekly
- Other products: 14 days
Get Paid in 24 Hours or get an extra $1,000. Rewards are only processed on business days, and so the 48 Hour Reward Guarantee timer is paused on weekends.
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.
For traders with $200K accounts or larger, the first two reward requests are capped at a maximum withdrawal of $10,000 each. After the first two rewards, this restriction is removed, and there are no further withdrawal limits.
TryAqua: maximum lifetime withdrawal of $100.
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).
$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.
