	$296 one-time	Reviewed
Evaluation route Reserve $150,000, Blue Guardian: a one-phase evaluation, then a simulated funded account, read with the daily loss limit and 40% consistency setup the plan page selects (the other setups are priced options). Read for Tradovate; Tradovate (with NinjaTrader and TradingView) or DeepCharts is chosen at checkout. List price $296 one-time Profit targets 6% Loss mechanics A $4,500 maximum loss that trails the end-of-day balance: it starts at $145,500, rises with each higher end-of-day closing balance and never moves down. In the evaluation it never stops trailing; once funded it stops at $150,100 when the end-of-day balance reaches $154,600. Minimum days and time limits No minimum number of days is stated (the plan page calls the 40% consistency setup a "3 Day Pass"), with no time limit. At least one trade every 30 calendar days keeps an evaluation active, and every 10 days a funded account (every 7 for accounts funded before 10 October 2026). Daily loss and contract limits A daily loss limit of $3,000 in this setup, a soft breach: below it all positions close and the account is disabled until the next trading day. Up to 12 minis or 120 micros in the evaluation; once funded 3 minis or 30 micros at first, rising with the end-of-day balance (the plan page's funded panel shows the evaluation limit).

A cell across both rows applies to both stages. Not stated means the firm does not say on the pages we read; it is not a permission. A program’s sizes share a column when their permissions read the same; a size that differs has its own. No evaluation means the account is funded from the start.

Contractual penalties

All 35 CFD/FX accounts: Breaching the daily loss limit or the maximum loss fails the account. Gambling-style trading, hedging between accounts and using a VPN or VPS to get round the copy-trading rules are prohibited and can lead to the account failing.

About this fact. Trustpilot's own TrustScore for the firm, out of 5, with its review count and the date we read it. It is Trustpilot's figure, not ours, and we never use it to rank or rate firms. Reviews come from people who choose to post them, firms can invite customers to review, and Trustpilot says it does not fact-check reviews. When Trustpilot shows an alert on the firm's profile, we show it with the score, word for word, with Trustpilot's name for its type. When Trustpilot shows no score for the firm, we say so and quote what it shows instead, with any alert, and show none of the review figures. A score says nothing about any one account's rules or payouts.
