Blue GuardianBlue Guardian 50K Express: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Blue Guardian 50K Express ranks #21 of the 87 50K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 58. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is speed.
One try costs $130. The evaluation needs $3,000 on a $2,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.1). The funded account needs $2,350 on a $2,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.6). Together that is about 1 in 8.1 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $1,052 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,431).
A steady trader making $200 a day gets the first payout after 27 trading days and keeps $9,167 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$1,052 per first payout65
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
