No evaluation and no profit target: you start funded. A daily loss limit and an end-of-day drawdown apply from day one, and payouts need a 20% consistency rule.

Most accounts here stay simulated for the account's whole life: the firm pays you out of its own revenue, and no real money ever changes hands in your trades. Blue Guardian Futures is different — it also runs a real, live-capital account that some traders graduate into.
How you qualify
Reaching Payout 5 on a funded account, a significant amount of lifetime payouts, exceptional performance, or prior Live history places a trader in the "Live Review Pool" -- the Risk Team then reviews consistency/risk management/discipline/profitability. Reaching Payout 5 is explicitly not a guarantee.
What changes once you're live
All eligible funded accounts (each must have at least 1 payout) merge into ONE Live Account, $0 starting balance, combined Live Drawdown up to a $15,000 cap. Real CME execution. 90/10 split, daily payouts with no cap, EOD drawdown, no daily loss limit, no consistency rule, news trading banned, hedging strictly banned, a household rule. A one-time Live Bonus on first promotion. Traders can instead take a one-time Live Buyout (50% of combined starting Live Drawdown) and skip going live.
Worth knowing
Breaching a Live account costs a 28-day cooldown; cannot be reset/rebought.

Express plan added (daily payouts). Reserve is now sold with a choice of daily loss limit on or off and 40% or 50% consistency, each at its own price. Source
Four account types. Standard has no daily loss limit in the evaluation and a 40% consistency rule once funded. Reserve comes with a daily loss limit by default (removing it is a paid option) and a choice of 40% or 50% evaluation consistency. Express pays daily from the funded account. Direct skips the evaluation.
