Blue Guardian Futures CFP Contract Equivalence and Scaling Ladder
Map Blue Guardian Futures mini-to-micro contract equivalence, Reserve and Express funded scaling, and 45% CFP savings with verified rule tables.
Blue Guardian Futures treats one Mini contract as equivalent to ten Micro contracts, while funded Reserve and Express accounts start at reduced position limits and scale through end-of-day profit triggers. The current onsite deal lists 45% off futures evaluations with code CFP. Since stable official evaluation base prices were not verifiable, every purchase-price figure below is hypothetical.
Quick answer
| Item | Current detail |
|---|---|
| Firm | Blue Guardian Futures |
| Market | Futures |
| Onsite code | CFP |
| Onsite discount | 45% off futures evaluations |
| Contract equivalence | 1 Mini = 10 Micros |
| Flat-limit models | Standard and Direct |
| Scaling models | Funded Reserve and Express |
| Scaling update | End of Day |
| Above-limit order | Automatically rejected |
| Tier reduction | May occur when EOD balance falls below a trigger |
The coupon reduces evaluation purchase cost. It does not change contract limits or unlock a higher funded scaling tier.
CFP discount formula
- Saving = checkout subtotal × 0.45
- Final price = checkout subtotal × 0.55

These are hypothetical calculations, not live Blue Guardian prices. Use the current checkout subtotal.
Mini and Micro contract equivalence
The official contract-limit policy uses a ten-to-one conversion.
| Minis | Equivalent Micros | Combined example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 1 Mini or 10 Micros |
| 2 | 20 | 1 Mini + 10 Micros |
| 4 | 40 | 2 Minis + 20 Micros |
| 8 | 80 | 5 Minis + 30 Micros |
| 12 | 120 | 7 Minis + 50 Micros |
A combination is within the limit when total Micro-equivalent exposure does not exceed the account’s current tier.
Conversion worksheet
Micro-equivalent total = Minis × 10 + Micros
| Position mix | Calculation | Micro-equivalent total | Within a 40-Micro limit? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Minis + 10 Micros | 2 × 10 + 10 | 30 | Yes |
| 3 Minis + 10 Micros | 3 × 10 + 10 | 40 | Yes |
| 4 Minis | 4 × 10 | 40 | Yes |
| 4 Minis + 1 Micro | 4 × 10 + 1 | 41 | No |
Flat contract limits for Standard and Direct
Standard and Direct accounts use the same fixed maximums instead of the funded scaling ladder.
| Account size | Maximum Minis | Maximum Micros | Limit structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | 1 | 10 | Flat |
| $50K | 4 | 40 | Flat |
| $100K | 8 | 80 | Flat |
| $150K | 12 | 120 | Flat |
For Standard, the fixed structure applies during evaluation and funded stages. Direct accounts receive the listed access immediately under the current policy.
Evaluation limits for Express and Reserve
| Account size | Express evaluation | Reserve evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | 1 Mini / 10 Micros | 2 Minis / 20 Micros |
| $50K | 4 Minis / 40 Micros | 4 Minis / 40 Micros |
| $100K | 8 Minis / 80 Micros | 8 Minis / 80 Micros |
| $150K | 12 Minis / 120 Micros | 12 Minis / 120 Micros |
Passing an evaluation does not mean the same maximum continues immediately in a funded Reserve or Express account.
Starting funded limits
| Account size | Starting funded Minis | Starting funded Micros | Evaluation-to-funded change |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | 1 | 10 | Reserve starts below its evaluation maximum |
| $50K | 2 | 20 | Starts below evaluation maximum |
| $100K | 3 | 30 | Starts below evaluation maximum |
| $150K | 3 | 30 | Starts below evaluation maximum |
Reserve and Express scaling triggers
| EOD profit trigger | $25K | $50K | $100K | $150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting | 1 / 10 | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 3 / 30 |
| +$1,500 | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 4 / 40 |
| +$2,000 | — | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 | 5 / 50 |
| +$3,000 | — | — | 8 / 80 | 8 / 80 |
| +$4,500 | — | — | — | 12 / 120 |
Each cell lists Minis / Micros. Scaling is determined at end of day from the closing balance.
Worked $100K funded example
| EOD profit | Current tier | Maximum Minis | Maximum Micros | What changes next |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0 | Starting | 3 | 30 | Reach and hold +$1,500 at EOD |
| $1,500 | First unlock | 4 | 40 | Reach and hold +$2,000 at EOD |
| $2,000 | Second unlock | 5 | 50 | Reach and hold +$3,000 at EOD |
| $3,000 | Full listed tier | 8 | 80 | No higher listed tier |
If the EOD balance later falls below a trigger, the official policy says the contract tier may be reduced.
Step-by-step position check
Step 1: Identify the model and stage
Confirm whether the account is Standard, Direct, Reserve, or Express and whether it is evaluation or funded.
Step 2: Read the current tier
For funded Reserve or Express, use the dashboard’s end-of-day tier rather than the evaluation maximum.
Step 3: Convert all positions
Convert Minis to Micro equivalents and add open Micros.
Step 4: Check simultaneous exposure
The official limit applies to simultaneous open positions, not the number of trades placed during the day.
Step 5: Leave operational room
An order above the current limit is automatically rejected. Review pending orders and existing positions before adding exposure.
