Tradable instruments include FX, Indices, Crypto, and Other Commodities. On Instant Standard and funded accounts, news trading is restricted within 5 minutes before and after high-impact events; the Challenge, Instant Starter, and Guardian X accounts allow news trading without restriction.
Payouts require a $100 minimum. The Guardian X and 2 Step Pro programs operate on a 14-day cycle; Instant Standard and Instant Starter offer on-demand withdrawals. The 2 Step Classic provides the first payout on demand, then switches to 14-day cycles. All accounts deactivate after 30 days of inactivity.

Blue Guardian appeals to traders seeking deep discounts on large-account evaluations, particularly through the Pro 2-Step program. Weekend holding is permitted, which is unusual at this price point and makes the firm attractive to swing traders. Copy trading is allowed on personal accounts only.
