What you need to make, phase by phase
| Stage | Target | In R at 0.3% a trade | Minimum days | Time limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Challenge | 6% ($3,000) | 20R | None | No limit |
| Funded: first payout | 1% ($500) | 3.3R | 3 days | – |
R is the amount you lose on one losing trade. At 0.3% risk, 1R is $150.
How to pass the Blue Guardian Futures Elite 50K
- Risk about 0.3% a trade ($150). That was the risk that gave the best chance of passing and getting paid on these rules in our benchmark. Bigger trades finish sooner when they work but breach the limits far more often; smaller trades are safer but can take months. At this size the target needs about 20R of net profit, meaning 20 times your risk on one trade. The position size calculator turns that into lots or contracts.
- Set your own daily stop. There is no daily loss limit to fail, so the only thing that stops a bad day is you. A stop of about a third of the maximum loss (4 losses at 0.3%, about $600) means no single day can end the account.
- Get the first 4% in the bank, then it gets easier. Your floor is $2,000 below your highest balance until it reaches your starting balance ($50,000), then it locks there. Until you are $2,000 up, every dollar you give back moves you closer to failing, so trade at your smallest size at the start. That first $2,000 is about 13.3R at 0.3%. Once the floor locks, profit above it is a cushion that no longer trails.
- Before each payout: 40% consistency on the funded account. Your best day must be no more than 40% of the profit you withdraw. For a $500 payout, keep every day under about $200, or keep trading until the total is big enough.
- Pace yourself. There is no time limit, so don't raise your risk to finish sooner: time is on your side.
- Once funded. The first payout comes after 3 days, and you need at least 1% profit ($500, about 3.3R) first. With a 90% split, you keep $900 of every $1,000 of profit. Keep trading the same way you passed: the limits still apply, and the account can still be lost.
- Test your own strategy before you pay. The numbers above come from a made-up trader. Upload your backtest or trade history to see your own pass and payout chance on this account, and use the strategy builder to add a daily stop and loss guards set to these limits.
Mistakes that fail this account
- Letting a winning trade turn into a loser. With a trailing drawdown, a big open profit that comes back costs you room.
- One huge day. It can make the consistency rule hold back your payout until the rest of your profit catches up.
- Trading normal size. A 4% maximum loss is tight, so a size that feels small elsewhere is large here.
- Trading news or holding over weekends without checking Blue Guardian Futures's own restrictions, which this page does not cover in full.

What it really costs to get funded
A challenge fee buys an attempt, not an account. If you divide the fee by the chance of success, you get what the average trader actually spends, retries included, before it pays off.
- At a 42% pass chance, every $100 of fee works out at about $238 spent for each account that gets funded.
- At a 31% chance of passing and reaching a first payout, every $100 of fee works out at about $323 for each first payout.
- At $209 for $50K, that is about $498 per funded account and $674 per first payout.
These use our benchmark trader's odds, not yours. A stronger strategy pays less per success and a weaker one pays more, which is why it is worth testing your own trades first. Many firms refund the fee with the first payout; check Blue Guardian Futures's terms.
