The futures arm of the Blueberry brand (operated by a Cayman entity) on the proprietary BlackArrow platform, with one-step Ascent (EOD drawdown) and Accelerated (intraday-trailing) challenges and NO daily loss limit. The catches are a tight 20% consistency on Accelerated, a DCA cap of 3 stacks per idea, cross-contract hedging counting as hedging (instant termination), and a 'funded' stage that's still simulated until you clear 7 payout cycles or $28k.
A clean futures sim-funder with no daily loss limit and a choice of EOD or intraday-trailing drawdown — but the consistency cap is tight on Accelerated and several conduct rules (DCA cap, cross-contract hedging) bite hard.
Pros
No daily loss limit (self-imposed limits via the BlackArrow risk manager)
Choice of Ascent (forgiving EOD drawdown) or cheaper Accelerated (intraday trailing)
Up to 90% split; fast 1–2 day evals (Accelerated 1 day, Ascent 2)
News allowed outside a 6-minute red-folder window; manual scalping allowed
Watch out
Accelerated consistency is a tight 20% (Ascent 35%) — a big day locks your payout
DCA capped at 3 stacks per idea; cross-contract hedging (NQ + MNQ) = instant termination
Auto-flatten ~4:45 PM ET, no overnight/weekend; 'funded' is simulated until 7 cycles / $28k withdrawn
Best for: Futures day traders who want no daily loss limit and an EOD-drawdown option — and who hold beyond a few seconds, cap their adds, and never run a mini against a micro.
Bottom line: Solid, well-documented futures rules; pick Ascent for the gentler EOD drawdown and respect the 20%/35% consistency and DCA caps.

Dollar amounts $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 by size. Accelerated uses an INTRADAY trailing drawdown that tracks your highest live equity (including unrealized profit) and never moves down; breach if equity drops below the locked line at any point. Ascent uses an END-OF-DAY trailing drawdown that updates only at session close (intraday/floating profit doesn't move it). At the funded stage, all accounts use EOD drawdown.
Gotcha: Accelerated's trailing line includes unrealized profit — giving back open gains can breach you intraday even if your closed balance is fine.
No single trading day may account for more than a set % of total profit at the time of a withdrawal: Accelerated 20%, Ascent 35%. It applies to funded accounts only (not the challenge), and breaching it denies the payout (not the account) — you keep trading to dilute your best day.
Gotcha: Accelerated's 20% cap is tight — one strong day can lock your payout until you grind more profit.
You cannot open new trades within 3 minutes before and 3 minutes after a Red Folder (high-impact) event on the affected asset (a 6-minute blackout). Existing positions may be held through; manual closes are allowed anytime. Profits from trades opened in the window are deducted; repeated violations trigger review.
Day trading only — all positions must be closed and pending orders deleted before the daily session close (~4:45 PM ET), and nothing may be held into the weekend gap. The platform auto-liquidates remaining open trades at session close.
Fully automated 'set-and-forget' EAs/bots are not permitted (the eval measures personal decision-making). Copying your own trades across your own accounts is allowed; copying external/third-party signal providers is restricted. Execution-efficiency tools and auto position-sizing after a manual entry are fine.
Prohibited: hedging (no simultaneous long+short on the same asset, including cross-contract like long NQ Mini + short MNQ Micro), one-sided 'all-in' bets, system/latency exploitation, and HFT/tick-scalping (sub-second entries flagged as bot-like; manual scalping is allowed). DCA is capped at 3 positions per trade idea (1 entry + 2 adds) — a 4th add violates regardless of contract headroom. Violations can mean immediate account termination.
Gotcha: Cross-contract hedging (a mini against a micro) counts as hedging and terminates the account, and a 4th add to one idea is a violation even if you have contract room.
Accelerated challenge: 1 day. Ascent challenge: 2 days. Funded: 5 profitable days per payout cycle. A valid day must generate ≥$200 net realized profit (a +$50 day doesn't count).
Around 30 consecutive days without a completed (open+close) trade breaches/closes the account — open and close at least one trade within any 30-day window to stay active.
Up to 90% to the trader. Payouts are performance-based: you must bank 5 profitable days (each ≥$200 net) per cycle, then can withdraw above the required buffer up to a per-size cap — $25k: min $250 / max $1,500 / buffer $1,100; $50k: $500 / $2,500 / $2,100; $100k: $750 / $3,500 / $3,100; $150k: $1,000 / $4,500 / $4,600. The account stays simulated through 'funded' until you complete 7 payout cycles OR reach $28,000 total withdrawals, at which point promotion to real capital is at the firm's discretion. Max 3 funded accounts / $450k total. KYC via Veriff before first withdrawal; paid via RiseWorks or USDT (TRC-20).
Gotcha: 'Funded' is still simulated — real-capital promotion is discretionary and only after 7 payout cycles or $28k withdrawn.
