What Is the Blue Guardian Futures Reserve Plan and How Does It Work?

The Blue Guardian Futures Reserve Plan is a one-phase evaluation designed for traders who want a funded futures account with an EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit by default, and a 90% profit split after funding.

Unlike some traditional futures evaluations, Reserve gives traders more flexibility around daily losses. It also provides an optional Daily Loss Limit and, based on the current checkout configuration, a choice between 40% and 50% consistency during the challenge.

Blue Guardian currently offers Reserve accounts in $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000 sizes.

How Does the Blue Guardian Reserve Plan Work?

The Reserve Plan follows a straightforward process:

Choose a Reserve account size.
Complete the one-phase evaluation.
Reach the required profit target without violating the account's drawdown or other trading rules.
Pass the final review.
Move to a funded Reserve account.
Trade under the funded account rules and become eligible for payouts after meeting the winning-day requirements.

The evaluation uses an EOD trailing drawdown, meaning the drawdown level is adjusted based on the account's end-of-day balance rather than continuously following every intraday high.

What Account Sizes Are Available?

Reserve currently offers four account sizes:

Account	Profit Target	Maximum Drawdown
$25,000	6%	$1,000
$50,000	6%	$2,000
$100,000	6%	$3,000
$150,000	6%	$4,500

The profit target is 6% for each Reserve account size.

Understanding the Reserve Profit Target

The Reserve evaluation requires traders to reach a 6% profit target.

For example, a $50,000 Reserve account has a $3,000 target. A trader therefore needs to bring the account to $53,000 while staying within the applicable trading rules.

Reaching the target alone does not guarantee funding. The account must also comply with the drawdown, consistency, position-size, and other applicable requirements before moving to the funded stage.

How Does Reserve's EOD Trailing Drawdown Work?

What Is EOD Trailing Drawdown?

EOD stands for End of Day. With this model, the trailing drawdown is adjusted according to the account's end-of-day balance.

This differs from a drawdown that continuously moves upward during the trading session. Traders therefore need to understand both their closing balance and the applicable drawdown threshold when managing risk.

Once the drawdown reaches the relevant starting-balance threshold, it locks rather than continuing to trail upward.

Reserve Drawdown Examples

The current maximum drawdown amounts are:

$25K Reserve: $1,000
$50K Reserve: $2,000
$100K Reserve: $3,000
$150K Reserve: $4,500

These limits apply to the Reserve account's EOD drawdown structure.

Does the Reserve Plan Have a Daily Loss Limit?

No Daily Loss Limit by Default

One of the main features of Reserve is that there is no daily loss limit by default.

This does not remove the overall drawdown requirement. Traders still need to remain within the account's maximum EOD trailing drawdown.

Blue Guardian also provides an optional Daily Loss Limit add-on for traders who prefer an additional daily risk boundary.

Optional Daily Loss Limit

The current optional DLL amounts are:

Account	Optional Daily Loss Limit
$25K	$600
$50K	$1,200
$100K	$1,700
$150K	$3,000

The option can be selected when purchasing the Reserve challenge.

What Is the Reserve Consistency Rule?

40% or 50% Consistency Options

The current Blue Guardian Reserve checkout provides a choice between 40% and 50% consistency for the challenge.

The checkout currently displays:

40% Consistency — 3 Day Pass
50% Consistency — 2 Day Pass

This means traders can select the consistency setup that fits the challenge they are purchasing.

The important distinction is that the consistency requirement applies to the challenge stage. Once the trader becomes funded on Reserve, there is no consistency rule. The current Reserve documentation also confirms that funded Reserve accounts do not have a consistency requirement.

How Does a Consistency Rule Work?

A consistency rule generally limits how much of the total challenge profit can come from one trading day.

For example, under a 40% consistency requirement, a trader would need to ensure that their highest-profit day does not represent more than the permitted percentage of total profits.

Traders should check the specific consistency option selected at checkout because the Reserve setup can now be configured with either 40% or 50% consistency.

Is There a Consistency Rule After Becoming Funded?

No Consistency Rule on Funded Reserve

Once a Reserve trader moves to the funded stage, there is no consistency rule under the Reserve model.

This is an important difference when comparing Reserve with other Futures account structures. For example, Blue Guardian's current Standard rules apply a 40% consistency requirement to funded Standard accounts.

What Is the Blue Guardian Reserve Profit Split?

90% Profit Split

Funded Reserve traders receive a 90% profit split.

For example, if a trader generates $1,000 in eligible profit, a 90% split would give the trader $900.

Blue Guardian states that its current Futures plans use a permanent 90/10 profit split.

How Do Reserve Payouts Work?

Reserve payouts are based on specific winning-day requirements.

Five Winning Days Are Required

A Reserve trader must complete at least five winning days before becoming eligible for a payout.

The minimum profit required for a winning day depends on the account size:

Account	Minimum Profit Per Winning Day
$25K	$100
$50K	$150
$100K	$200
$150K	$250

The five winning days do not have to be consecutive, and the winning-day counter resets after an approved payout.

Updated Payout Eligibility

For Reserve accounts purchased on or after July 27, 2026, payouts 2–5 also require a minimum amount of net profit since the previous approved payout.

Account	Winning-Day Minimum	Net Profit Required	Payout Cap
$25K	$100	$500	$1,000
$50K	$150	$750	$2,000
$100K	$200	$1,000	$2,500
$150K	$250	$1,250	$3,000

Reserve accounts purchased before July 27, 2026 retain their original payout rules for the life of the account.

What Does Net Profit Mean?

Net profit considers the overall result since the previous approved payout.

For example, if a $50K Reserve trader makes $900 and later loses $150, the net result is $750. That meets the current $50K Reserve net-profit requirement for the applicable payout.

How Long Do Reserve Payouts Take?

Reserve payouts become available after the applicable eligibility requirements are met.

Blue Guardian currently states that Reserve payouts are processed within 24 business hours. Available withdrawal methods include Rise and Crypto, with minimum withdrawal amounts of $500 through Rise and $100 through Crypto.

What Trading Rules Apply to Reserve?

News Trading Is Allowed

News trading is allowed on Reserve accounts during both the evaluation and funded stages.

Traders should still account for the increased volatility, slippage, and rapid price movements that can occur around major economic announcements.

Stop Losses Are Not Mandatory

A stop loss is not mandatory under the Reserve rules, but using appropriate risk management remains important.

Trading excessively large positions or relying on the account's maximum drawdown as a risk-management strategy can create unnecessary exposure.

Copy Trading Rules

Copy trading is permitted between accounts legally owned by the same trader, subject to Blue Guardian's rules.

Copying another trader's trades, using external signals as a substitute for personal trading, or allowing another person to manage the account is not permitted under the applicable rules.

Micro-Scalping Restriction

Blue Guardian also restricts excessive micro-scalping.

Less than 50% of total profits may come from trades held for under 10 seconds. This applies during both the evaluation and funded stages.

How Does Reserve Funded Scaling Work?

Reserve uses a progressive funded scaling system.

During the evaluation, Reserve accounts have the following maximum position limits:

Account	Evaluation Limit
$25K	2 Minis / 20 Micros
$50K	4 Minis / 40 Micros
$100K	8 Minis / 80 Micros
$150K	12 Minis / 120 Micros

After becoming funded, the initial contract limits are reduced and can increase as the account grows.

Reserve Funded Starting Limits

Account	Starting Funded Limit
$25K	1 Mini / 10 Micros
$50K	2 Minis / 20 Micros
$100K	3 Minis / 30 Micros
$150K	3 Minis / 30 Micros

Scaling is based on the account's end-of-day balance. For example, a $100K Reserve account starts funded at 3 Minis/30 Micros and can increase its contract limit as it reaches the applicable profit thresholds.

What Happens After a Reserve Payout?

After an approved payout, the account continues under the applicable funded-account rules.

The drawdown floor also locks at the relevant starting balance plus $100 after a payout. For example, the locked level is $50,100 for a $50K account.

The winning-day counter resets after each approved payout, and applicable payout eligibility requirements must then be met again.

Reserve vs. Other Blue Guardian Futures Plans

Blue Guardian currently offers four Futures funding models: Reserve, Standard, Express, and Direct.

Feature	Reserve	Standard	Express	Direct
Evaluation	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Daily loss limit	Optional	Depends on account	Plan-specific	Plan-specific
Reserve-style EOD drawdown	Yes	No	Similar scaling structure	No
Funded consistency	None	40%	Plan-specific	Plan-specific
Profit split	90%	90%	90%	90%
Main focus	Flexible evaluation	Traditional evaluation	Faster payouts	Immediate funding

The exact rules vary by plan, so traders should review the applicable account rules rather than assuming that conditions are identical across all Blue Guardian Futures products.

Who Is the Blue Guardian Reserve Plan Designed For?

Traders Who Do Not Want a Default Daily Loss Limit

Reserve may be relevant to traders who prefer managing their daily risk without a fixed daily loss threshold, while still operating within an overall EOD drawdown.

Traders Who Want a One-Phase Evaluation

Reserve uses a single evaluation phase with a 6% profit target, rather than a multi-stage evaluation structure.

Traders Who Want No Funded Consistency Rule

The absence of a funded consistency rule is one of the main structural differences between Reserve and the current Standard model.

Traders Who Prefer Configurable Challenge Rules

The current checkout allows Reserve buyers to choose between 40% and 50% consistency options, giving traders some flexibility when setting up the challenge.

Before purchasing a Reserve account, traders should look beyond the advertised account balance.
