Blue Guardian
Six CFD plans sold under a contract that carries none of their numbers: it makes the help centre binding by reference — "you are agreeing to abide by all rules identified within the knowledge center" — and every drawdown figure lives there instead. On funded accounts, profits made around a news release "will be subject to removal, without any account violation", and the same clause reaches any trade the firm judges "significantly influenced by news events" — a standard with no threshold published anywhere. Its Guardian Shield then halves the advertised split, permanently, on a single 2% floating loss that does not even breach the account, and appears on no sales page. The futures half of this house runs a different and better rulebook; it is listed separately, as Blue Guardian Futures.
Its own pages disagree about the refund three times over: the refund policy says "no refunds under any circumstances will be accepted", the help centre says the fee is "fully refundable after your fourth payout", and both market cards on the sales page promise "Refund on 1st Reward". The split is advertised at 95% on one page and at "up to 90%, with select plans paying out 100%" on another, while the best default any rules page here documents is the 90% of a $5,000 demonstration account and five of the six plans start at 85% or 80%. Both market cards claim "No Consistency Rule"; this help centre imposes 20% on Instant Standard, tightened to 15% on its two largest sizes, and 15% on Instant Starter. The payout guarantee is sold as "Funds in 24 hours, or we pay 100% of the profits" and is $1,000 in every rules article, in business hours, void for compliance reviews the firm calls itself. And one help article puts the scaling ceiling at $2,000,000 in one paragraph and $4,000,000 twelve lines below it. Two products the firm names — 2 Step Pro and 1 Step Crypto — have no readable rules page in the archive and are not graded here.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
Crossed one of the seven hard bars. Open the row and it names which one, with the mechanism spelled out. This is not a low grade — no quantity of virtue elsewhere buys it off, which is why it carries no rank at all.
Disqualified for
Deletes profit you earned
Money already earned is taken back under ordinary trading — the balance itself goes down. Where the line sits matters twice over: a disclosed, avoidable anti-abuse rule that bites tick scalpers and nobody else is a penalty on the scorecard, not this; and a payout that moves your drawdown without touching your balance is the bar above, which used to be filed here and was the wrong accusation.
What they published
“Any profits earned during this time or significantly influenced by news events will be subject to removal, without any account violation this also extends to trades that are maliciously attempting to bypass rule.”“The Company reserves the sole and absolute discretion to determine any breach and may, without prior notice, take action including account suspension or termination, trade voiding, profit/loss adjustments, payout denial, and restriction of services.”“Company FAQ therein, as amended from time to time and which are incorporated by reference and made a part of these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, you are agreeing to abide by all rules identified within the knowledge center and other sources within the website.”Plan by plan

10% to make against 6% of room, and the room trails your highest closed balance until the account is 6% up, then locks at the starting balance with a fixed 1% buffer that cannot be withdrawn. The article never says what breaches that floor: the word equity appears on the page only inside the daily-loss section.
The floor does not move — the firm writes "6% (static)" itself — and it is measured on equity with floating positions counted. What the page never says is whether that 6% survives into the funded stage, or what a payout does to it: this article has neither of the two sections that answer those questions in 1 Step Standard.
8% then 4% across two independent runs against a static 8% — the most room the CFD side offers. Its own page carries two live rulebooks: a promotion cutting the minimum days from 5 to 3 and raising the Guardian Shield allowance from two breaches to four, dated to "the end of the current month . (June)" on a page saved in August.
Three independent 6% exams against a static 8%: 18% of profit in total, and failing the third run costs you the two already passed. Its daily-loss example ends mid-sentence — "the daily drawdown will be 4% of the initial balance is." — and, like the other static plans, the page never says whether the 8% holds once funded.
Badged "Most Popular" on both sales pages and the worst paid by default: 80%, against 85% on every evaluation model and 90% on the futures ones. The Guardian Shield trigger is halved here to a 1% floating loss, so the event that permanently cuts the split to 50% is twice as easy to hit; and news trading is prohibited outright on accounts bought after 13 November 2025.
A $5,000 account with a $250 ceiling on total profit, one payout in its whole life, and closure the moment that payout is processed — the firm's own example puts the product at $225 to the trader. It is candid about being a demonstration, it is the one plan excluded by name from the fee refund, and it is the only plan in the file with no profit-removal clause of any kind: its news rule permits news trading outright.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
5/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
2/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
1/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

“No. All accounts provided by Blue Guardian, including funded accounts, are demo accounts operating in a simulated trading environment with virtual funds .”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
Almost none names a broker or a clearing house either, and that follows from the account being a simulation rather than being a second, separate failing. Charging for both would count one fact twice.
