Blue GuardianBlue Guardian 150K Standard: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Blue Guardian 150K Standard ranks #40 of the 71 150K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 48. Its strongest part is rules, its weakest is speed.
One try costs $424. The evaluation needs $9,000 on a $5,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.6). The funded account needs $5,600 on a $5,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.5). Together that is about 1 in 8.9 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $3,790 on average (the typical plan of this size: $3,347).
A steady trader making $600 a day gets the first payout after 25 trading days and keeps $27,500 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$3,790 per first payout43
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.
