- Phase 2 opening balance
- $100,000
- Phase 2 opening total-loss floor

About this rule. How much the account can lose from its opening balance before the total-loss rule is broken, using the smallest allowance across the required evaluation phases. An account bought without an evaluation uses its funded account's allowance. It is not daily headroom, live capital or a pass probability.

Difficulty ratio
Difficulty ratio: 1.50
How this is calculated. For each required evaluation phase, the profit target divided by that phase's opening loss allowance. The results are added.
- Phase 1 profit target
- 8% of $100,000 = $8,000
- Phase 1 opening loss allowance
- $8,000
- Phase 2 profit target
- 4% of $100,000 = $4,000
- Phase 2 opening loss allowance
- $8,000
- Result
- 1.50
This describes the shape of the evaluation; it is not a pass probability.
Official sources: Blue Guardian · Forex plans (checked 9 November 2026); Blue Guardian · Checkout (checked 9 November 2026); Blue Guardian · Help centre: 2 Step Standard Rules (checked 9 November 2026).
About this rule. Each required phase's profit target divided by that phase's opening loss allowance, added together. More target per dollar of allowed loss gives a higher number; an account bought without an evaluation has no target, so its ratio is 0. It describes the shape of the evaluation, not the chance of passing.

Total and daily loss
Total and daily loss: Daily loss: $4,000 (4% of the starting balance), set each day at 5 PM EST below the higher of the balance and the equity.
