Safe position: the biggest trade that survives a normal day, at $100K (or the smallest size sold).
How big can you trade safely?
The biggest trade that survives one normal day going against you.
Biggest safe trade on EUR/USD5.7 standard lots1 lot = 100,000 euros · worth $654,664 in total
- Room to lose today$4,000
- A normal day moves0.611%
- So the most you can hold$654,664
Hold more than this and a normal day against you would break the daily loss limit. (Leverage of 1:50 would let you open up to $5,000,000.)

SourceHide source
“This only applies on 2step Funded Accounts: If your PnL on open trades reaches a 2% loss (1% loss on instant account), Guardian Shield will, in most cases, automatically close all open trades for all symbols. This is a soft breach, and you may immediately begin trading afterward.”

Who you are dealing with
Easier rules do not make a better firm. This is what Blue Guardian publishes about itself — the company whose terms you accept, where it is registered, and what its record is worth. Every line comes from Blue Guardian’s own pages and is produced by the same test applied to every firm here.

Nothing here is looked up in a companies register or a regulator's database — what a firm publishes about itself is the thing being compared.

Checked by hand against Blue Guardian’s own pages on 23 Sep 2026. Where a rule is not published, we say so and score it zero.
Leverage comes from Blue Guardian's Platform Rules article, which is the only page on its site that publishes a figure; the per-model rule articles cover drawdown, news and payouts and are silent on leverage. Gold is read off the Commodities line because Blue Guardian's own instrument list calls the category 'Gold & Commodities'. The 3 Step, Nano, Pro and Buy Now Pay Later models are not listed here: the first three are marked legacy or carry their own leverage block, and BNPL changes only how the fee is paid.
The site footer names three entities: Blue Guardian Limited (The Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia) provides the simulated trading platforms, Blue Guardian Marketing LLC (801 Icon Tower, Barsha Heights, Tecom, Dubai, UAE) does the marketing, and Iconic Exchange FZCO (IFZA Business Park, Dubai) handles education and payment processing. No company registration number is published for any of them.
