Blue Guardian
United Arab Emirateswww.blueguardian.com
Blue Guardian offers a broad multi-asset prop-firm lineup with MT5, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker support, together with Instant, 1-Step, and 2-Step funding options. The supplied programs include account sizes from $5,000 to $400,000, providing options for both smaller and larger traders. Its strengths include multiple funding models, broad asset coverage, on-demand payouts on Instant programs, and relatively high profit splits of up to 85% on selected 1-Step and 2-Step programs. The main drawbacks are strict consistency and risk-control rules on certain programs, a 3% payout processing fee, a 30-day inactivity rule, minimum holding-time requirements, and high-impact news restrictions on Instant Standard and certain funded accounts. Best suited for traders looking for Instant, 1-Step, or 2-Step funding with broad asset coverage and multiple trading-platform options.
