Average processing time: 1-4 business days plus 1-2 additional days for funds to arrive.

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.

5% profit cap on the first three approved payouts. Profits exceeding this cap are wiped when the account resets to original balance.

After three payouts, the cap is removed.

$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.

$100 after profit split. If profit split is 80%, at least $125 in profits is needed.

1% for cryptocurrency withdrawals. $50 for international bank transfers.
