What the rules mean in practice

There is no evaluation. You trade a funded $100K account from day one, so the loss limits are the only rules between you and a payout.
On any single day you can lose up to $3,000 (3%). Check Blue Guardian's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
The account fails if you lose $6,000 (6%). This is balance trailing drawdown: the loss limit rises with your closed balance as you make profit, so it follows your gains.
Consistency rule: Best day must be under 20% of the period's profit (15% on $300K and $400K accounts)
At a 80% split, you need about 0.78% return on the funded account to earn back the $623 fee.
Payouts: on demand once the trading-day and consistency requirements are met.
The 6% maximum loss trails the highest closed balance and stops at the starting balance once the account is 6% up; after that, 1% of the starting balance must stay in the account when withdrawing.
Guardian Shield closes all open positions when floating loss reaches 1%. The first trigger cuts the profit split to 50% permanently and the second ends the account.
News trading is not allowed on Instant accounts bought after 13 November 2025.
The first two payouts on $200K and larger accounts are capped at $10,000 each.
The help center refers to a $300K Instant account, but the pricing page lists only $5K–$200K and $400K, so $300K is not included here.
Forex leverage is 1:30.
