Blue Guardian

Blue Guardian entered the proprietary trading space in mid-2021 and has since garnered a significant social presence, particularly on X, with 48k followers. However, its LinkedIn presence is quite small, with only 256 followers, and CEO Sean Baintain has a similarly modest LinkedIn presence with just 87 followers, though he is more active on X, where he has 26.4k followers. Despite being relatively new to the market, Blue Guardian has raised some concerns around risk management, particularly because no liquidity provider has been listed, which could raise questions about its ability to pay out traders reliably. Nonetheless, the company offers a variety of challenge plans and boasts a wide range of trading instruments. The company’s Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable due to a breach, which may give some traders pause, but there are over 1,100 reviews posted on the platform. The firm’s social media engagement remains strong across platforms like X, TikTok, Discord, and Telegram, indicating an active and connected trading community.

Payouts and Profit Splits

The company offers an 85% profit split, aligning with industry standards for proprietary trading firms. Payouts are available 14 days after the initial request. However, there are mixed reports from Propfirmmatch, with some users indicating payout issues, while others confirm successful withdrawals.

Final Thoughts

Blue Guardian presents a viable option for traders seeking flexibility in challenge plans and a wide range of instruments. However, the lack of a listed liquidity provider raises concerns about the company’s risk management, particularly regarding payouts. While its Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable, its strong social media presence suggests an engaged community of traders. With competitive profit splits and a transparent web interface, Blue Guardian may appeal to traders looking for a fresh platform—though prospective traders should carefully consider reports of payout issues before committing
