At a glance
The short version
Blue Guardian Futures runs 3 evaluation programs for futures traders. The headline one, BG Futures Standard, asks for a 6% profit target with a 4% end-of-day trailing max loss and a 2% daily loss limit. This page puts every Blue Guardian Futures rule set in one table, runs each through thousands of simulated challenges to show what the rules alone do to your odds, and opens a chart that enforces them candle by candle — so you can rehearse the Blue Guardian Futures challenge on real historical data before you pay for one.
Blue Guardian Futures challenge rules, program by program
Rules as published on blueguardian.com, checked 21 October 2026. Prop firms revise rules often — confirm on their site before you buy; the source for each program is in the fine print below. Account sizes offered: $25k, $50k, $100k, $150k.
What the Blue Guardian Futures rules do to your odds
The same trader passes one firm's challenge far more often than another's, and the difference is the rules, not the trader. To isolate it, each program below was run through the CRTLAB challenge simulator for three traders: a break-even one (50% wins at 1:1 — zero edge, so any pass is the rules' slack plus luck), a small edge (45% at 1:1.5) and a solid edge (45% at 1:2).
Of Blue Guardian Futures's 3 programs, BG Futures Reserve leaves a break-even trader the most room (26% pass) and BG Futures Express the least (12.4%).
| Program | Break-even trader | Small edge | Solid edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| BG Futures Standard | 12.4% | 18.9% | 31.1% |
| BG Futures Reserve | 26% | 40.5% | 59.1% |
| BG Futures Express | 12.4% | 18.9% | 31.1% |
Simulated: $100k account, 1% risk per trade, 2 trades a day, 60 trading days or the program's own limit; multi-phase programs multiply each phase's pass rate. Min-day and consistency rules are not simulated. Run your own numbers in the prop firm challenge calculator.
The rule most likely to end a Blue Guardian Futures attempt
On BG Futures Standard the target (6%) is 1.5× the room you have to lose (4%). That gap is the whole difficulty: a trader has to make 1.5 units for every unit they can afford to give back, so a cold streak early in the phase ends more attempts than a lack of edge does.
The max loss trails the end-of-day balance. Intraday swings do not move the floor, but every profitable close lifts it — so a good Monday shrinks the room you have on Tuesday. Holding the floor in view while you replay is the habit this rule demands.
There is a 2% daily loss limit. With only 4% in total, two bad days are the whole account.
In simulation, a trader with a small edge (45% wins at 1:1.5, 1% risk) fails 0% of phase-one attempts on the max loss and 81.1% on the daily limit; the ones who pass take a median of 4 trading days.
Rehearse the Blue Guardian Futures challenge on a real chart
The button opens CRTLAB with prop firm mode running on Blue Guardian Futures's BG Futures Standard rules. The chart's HUD carries your progress to target, the distance to the max loss and the daily floor, and it calls the verdict — passed, phase two, or breached — the moment a rule is hit, exactly as the firm's dashboard would. Every Blue Guardian Futures program and account size is one click away in the rules panel, and so are the other 98 firms in the catalogue.
What makes it a rehearsal rather than a demo account: you replay real historical data, candle by candle, on any of 38 markets from 1-minute to weekly, and you can do in an evening what a live challenge takes a month to show you. Run the same week three times with three different risk sizes and watch which one the end-of-day trailing floor catches.
There is no account to fund and no time limit on practice — the replay waits for you. When your rehearsals pass consistently, you know the edge survives Blue Guardian Futures's rules before the fee is spent.
