Blue Guardian: Maximum drawdown
▶Blue Guardian Maximum Drawdown Rule: Static Floor Explained — 42s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Calculated as a % of the initial balance and checked on equity (including floating P&L). 2-Step Standard and 3-Step use an 8% STATIC floor; Rapid and Instant use a 6% line; 2-Step Pro a 10% line. On trailing variants the line follows your equity high and locks at the starting balance once you're ~6% in profit.
The gotcha
Static vs trailing varies by plan — confirm which you bought, because the 8% static 2-Step/3-Step behave very differently from the trailing Instant/Rapid lines.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
