Blue Guardian Futures has set out what happens when a trader has a pending payout at the moment Live is offered. The trader either receives the payout as normal, after which a new 30-day cooldown applies before buying a new evaluation and only one funded account can be traded at a time, or moves to Live, where the payout is not paid out and instead becomes the Live Account's starting balance.
Full rules are on the Blue Guardian firm page.
Before and after
| What changed | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Live Account starting balance (trader moving to Live with a pending payout) | $0 | $0, or the pending payout amount |
| Live Buyout availability | Available at transition | Only for traders with no pending payout |
| Cooldown after buyout or Live breach | 28 days | 30 days |
| Cooldown after taking a pending payout when offered Live | No cooldown stated | 30 days |
Figures as of 31 October 2026.
