Simulated results
Three trader profiles, 10,000 simulated evaluations each against Blue Guardian's exact rules. Pass rate is the eval only. Payout is conditional on passing. Joint withdrawal is the probability of reaching a first payout end-to-end. P&L is expected value over 50 attempted challenges at the mid-tier account.

Failure breakdown from the balanced-archetype simulation. This is what typically ends a Blue Guardian run — not what traders think ends it.
Rules explained
How Blue Guardian's drawdown works
Blue Guardian uses a static drawdown of 8% of the starting balance. Static drawdown is the friendliest structure — the floor doesn't move as you profit. See trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanics.
How the daily loss limit is calculated
Blue Guardian caps intraday drawdown at 4% of the account. It's evaluated end-of-day on realised P&L, and a single losing session over the cap ends the challenge — not just the day.
Consistency rule
Blue Guardian has no consistency rule on the standard evaluation. See the consistency rule explained for the full mechanics and how it changes your real pass rate.
Is Blue Guardian worth it?
Blue Guardian's Rapid Guardian one-phase model uses a tight 4% drawdown against a 10% target — a demanding ratio that lowers raw pass rates for higher-variance strategies. Elite Guardian two-phase is the more accessible option. Reasonable payout cadence when funded.
Frequently asked
What is Blue Guardian's trailing drawdown?+
Blue Guardian uses a static drawdown of 8% of the starting balance. This is the single biggest driver of long-run pass rate for most traders.
What win rate do you need to pass Blue Guardian?+
Not a fixed number. Our simulator runs three archetypes against Blue Guardian's exact rules: the balanced 50%-win-rate trader passes 0.5% of the time; the scalper archetype and swing archetype produce meaningfully different numbers on the firm page above. Passing is a function of edge, variance, and how the ruleset punishes lumpy P&L — not win rate in isolation.
How much does Blue Guardian cost long-term?+
The mid-tier Blue Guardian evaluation is $350. Over 50 attempted challenges, our balanced-archetype simulation nets -$17.3k — that's eval fees paid on failures netted against payouts collected on the joint 0.5% of runs that reach a withdrawal.
Does Blue Guardian have a consistency rule?+
No consistency rule on the evaluation. Verify current terms — firms add and remove these rules regularly.
Is Blue Guardian worth it in 2026?+
Blue Guardian's Rapid Guardian one-phase model uses a tight 4% drawdown against a 10% target — a demanding ratio that lowers raw pass rates for higher-variance strategies. Elite Guardian two-phase is the more accessible option. Reasonable payout cadence when funded.
