Here is our full independent review of Blue Guardian:
Blue Guardian was founded in June 2021 by CEO Sean Bainton and is registered in Saint Lucia with operations across 170+ countries. With $25M+ in total payouts distributed, 100,000+ active traders, and a Discord community of 150,000+ members, Blue Guardian has become one of the larger prop trading communities in the space. The platform covers both CFD trading (forex, metals, indices, crypto, commodities) and CME futures, with nine distinct program types across the two tracks.
The firm carries notable sports endorsements — UK boxing champion Chris Eubank Jr and Birmingham City FC — reflecting an unusually high marketing investment for a prop firm. Google reviews sit at 4.9/5.
Blue Guardian suits traders across a wide range of styles. Five CFD program types accommodate everyone from instant-funded traders to 3-step evaluation traders who want more time and breathing room. For futures traders, four separate programs cover daily payout structures, no-daily-loss-limit accounts, and instant direct funding. Expert Advisors and trade copiers are permitted on CFD accounts, making Blue Guardian one of the few platforms where systematic traders can operate without restriction.
News trading is blocked on CFD accounts but permitted on the Futures Express program — a useful distinction for traders whose strategies depend on news momentum.
All CFD programs carry a 90% profit split, no time limit, and weekend/overnight holding. Leverage up to 1:30.
Platforms: MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, cTrader, Match Trader.
Four futures programs trade CME-listed contracts on NinjaTrader, Tradovate, DeepCharts, and TradingView.
Blue Guardian’s payout guarantee is among the strongest in the industry: if a verified payout request is not processed within 24 hours, the trader receives 100% of the profits rather than the standard split. Methods: Rise or cryptocurrency.
Blue Guardian earns a 7.8 BestProp score. Nine program types across CFD and CME futures, EA and copier permissions on CFD accounts, a 24-hour guarantee with a 100% profit penalty for delays, and a 4.9/5 Google rating make this a well-rounded platform. The $25M+ in payouts and 100K+ active trader base provide meaningful validation.
The Futures Direct program’s 20–30% split is unusually low and should be weighed carefully against the convenience of skipping evaluation. News trading is blocked on all CFD programs. No independent Trustpilot data was available at time of writing — community ratings via Google and Prop Firm Match (4.6/5) are the primary external benchmarks.
Here is our full independent review of SuperFunded:
SuperFunded was founded in 2023 and is operated from Australia by CEO Ryu Takahashi. The firm partners with Eightcap, a regulated Australian broker, providing the brokerage infrastructure behind funded accounts. Two evaluation tracks are available – a 1-Step Turbo and a 2-Step Classic – across account sizes from $3,000 to $200,000, with maximum combined allocation of $600,000 across three simultaneous accounts (up to $1.5M via scaling per TPO data). No MetaTrader is supported; trading runs exclusively on modern platforms.
1-Step Turbo: A single evaluation phase with a 10% profit target. Max drawdown: 6% trailing (the drawdown threshold rises with the account equity high watermark). Daily drawdown: 4-5%. No minimum trading days. No time limit. Fees: $89 ($10K), $299 ($50K), $499 ($100K). Challenge fees refunded on first payout.
2-Step Classic ($33-$999 for $3K-$200K): Phase 1: 10% profit target. Phase 2: 5%. Max drawdown: 10% static (fixed from starting balance, never trails). Daily drawdown: 5%. Minimum 4 trading days per phase. No time limit. Profit split up to 90%. Challenge fees refunded on first payout.
The drawdown structure distinction is meaningful: the Turbo’s 6% trailing drawdown tightens as profits accumulate, while the Classic’s 10% static drawdown remains fixed regardless of how much the account grows. Consistent traders who grow the account quickly may find the Classic easier to hold despite its longer evaluation path.
TradeLocker, DXTrade, cTrader, Match-Trader. Four modern platforms, none of which are MetaTrader. Traders who require MT4/MT5 cannot use SuperFunded.
SuperFunded earns a 6.5 BestProp score. The Eightcap partnership with ASIC regulation gives the firm a credible brokerage foundation. Four modern platforms, news and weekend trading permitted, no minimum trading days on Turbo, and fee refund on first payout are genuine positives. The 2-Step Classic’s static 10% drawdown is generous by industry standards.
The main concerns: the Trustpilot review count is small (30+ reviews at 4.2-4.4/5) meaning the independent sample size is limited, the founding timeline has been reported inconsistently across sources (2023 vs 2024), no MetaTrader support rules out a significant portion of traders, and the maximum combined allocation of $600K is lower than many competitors. The 1-Step Turbo’s trailing drawdown is also more punishing than it first appears once a trader starts building equity. Start with the 2-Step Classic at a lower account size to verify the payout process.
