A full relaunch, with one detail easy to miss.
Blue Guardian Futures has retired its legacy account structure, Standard, Rapid, Pro, and Instant, replacing it with four new plans: Standard, Reserve, Express, and Direct. The transition, finalised as of 6 July 2026 and detailed in a report dated 12 August 2026, restructures nearly every rule in the firm's lineup, drawdown handling, consistency requirements, and withdrawal mechanics all differ from the legacy plans they replace.
One change is easy to miss inside an announcement that otherwise reads as an upgrade: the legacy structure paid a 100% profit split on a trader's first $15,000 in profit before dropping to the standard 90/10 split. The new lineup applies a flat 90/10 split from the very first dollar. That's a real reduction in early-career payout terms, worth knowing before assuming the relaunch is a straightforward improvement.
The four new plans are structured around distinct trading profiles. Standard prioritises speed, allowing withdrawals every three days, no daily loss limit on the 25K account, and a 40% consistency requirement that applies only at the funded stage, with same-session evaluation passes possible. Reserve is built to be the easiest plan to pass: no daily loss limit by default, though a version with one is available at a 15% price reduction, a 50% consistency rule that applies only during evaluation, and a five-winning-day requirement before each withdrawal. Express allows daily withdrawals, with caps of $1,100 (50K), $2,200 (100K), and $3,300 (150K), and a 40% consistency rule during evaluation. Direct skips evaluation entirely, offering instant capital access with instant withdrawals, but its consistency requirement escalates over time: 20% on the first withdrawal, 25% on the second, and 30% from the third onward.
| Plan | Drawdown | Consistency | Withdrawals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | No DLL (25K) | 40%, funded stage only | Every 3 days |
| Reserve | No DLL default (+15% off with DLL) | 50%, eval stage only | 5 winning days required |
| Express | Standard EOD | 40%, eval stage | Daily, capped by size |
| Direct | No evaluation | 20% → 25% → 30% (escalating) | Instant |
| Profit split (all plans) | Flat 90/10 from the start (was 100% on first $15K) | ||
All four plans share a 90% profit split, an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks at the account's initial balance, no activation fees, and no monthly subscriptions. News trading is permitted and stop losses are not mandatory. Withdrawals are processed within 24 business hours, and if the firm misses that window, it pays an additional 10% profit share as a penalty on itself. A flat 2% commission applies to all processed withdrawals.
A volume discount ladder was also introduced specifically for the 150K Reserve plan: 30% off a second account, 35% off a third, 40% off a fourth, and 70% off a fifth.
Comparing a firm's full rule change before and after a relaunch is worth doing anywhere. Apex Trader Funding is another established futures firm worth comparing on documented terms, currently running a discount on evaluation fees.
What is confirmed.
The new four-plan structure, its specific rules, and its common conditions are confirmed directly by TheGodFunded's report, dated 12 August 2026. The legacy structure it replaces, Standard's hard-breach daily loss limit, Rapid's soft-breach limit, Pro's absence of any daily loss limit, and the 100% profit split on the first $15,000 of profit across Standard, Rapid, and Instant, is independently corroborated across multiple detailed reviews and Blue Guardian's own futures help centre documentation.
What remains uncertain.
We could not locate a direct statement from Blue Guardian Futures itself, beyond its help centre and general marketing, specifically confirming this relaunch's date or framing it as a full retirement of the legacy plans. The report is currently sourced through TheGodFunded, though the baseline it modifies is unusually well-documented across independent sources.
The consistency of the legacy baseline across five independent sources gives this reported relaunch real weight even without a direct statement. Confirm current terms directly on Blue Guardian Futures' own site before making decisions based on the specific figures above.
Why this matters.
Several parts of the new lineup are genuine improvements: Express's daily withdrawal option and Reserve's discounted DLL-inclusive tier both give traders configuration choices the legacy plans didn't offer. Direct's escalating consistency rule is a structure worth understanding on its own terms, it starts lenient and tightens with each withdrawal, meaning a trader's flexibility narrows the longer they stay funded on that specific plan.
The profit split change deserves the most direct attention, precisely because it's the kind of detail an announcement built around new features and discounts doesn't lead with. A trader who was counting on keeping their full first $15,000 in profit under the legacy structure will not get that same treatment under any of the four new plans.
What happens next.
We will update this piece if Blue Guardian Futures publishes its own direct statement on the relaunch, or if further detail on how existing legacy accounts are being transitioned becomes available.
