Blue Guardian payout rules: 14 days, 5 profitable days and the 24-hour guarantee
Two cadences, one day gate and a processing guarantee with a penalty. The rules per model.
Payout rules
| Rule | Blue Guardian |
|---|---|
| Challenge-funded models | first withdrawal 14 days after the first trade, then every 14 days |
| Instant Standard | on demand once consistency and minimum days are met |
| 2-Step Classic | first payout on demand, then 14-day |
| Day gate | 5 profitable days at 0.5% of closed balance before the first withdrawal on Instant and funded accounts |
| Consistency at payout | Instant 20%; Guardian funded 30%; Two Step Pro 25%; standard 14-day models none; breach blocks the request |
| Minimum and guarantee | $100 minimum; processing within 24 hours or the split rises to 100% for that payout |
| Split | 85% on evaluations (90% add-on); 80% on Instant |
What it means for a systematic strategy
Five profitable days at 0.5% is the same shape as FundingPips and Blue Guardian’s day counts profit on closed balance, so a strategy averaging $200 a day on a 50K clears it in five sessions. The consistency numbers on Instant and Pro are tight (20% and 25%) and, combined with the Guardian Shield, make those models suitable only for small, even, single-position systems.
