Blueberry Futures rules in full
  • News Trading: You may not open any new market or pending orders on the affected asset from 3 minutes before until 3 minutes after a Red Folder (High Impact) news event, but you are allowed to keep open and manually close existing positions at any time as long as they were opened more than 3 minutes prior to the news. Any profits generated from new trades opened during this restricted window will be deducted, and repeated violations may trigger an account review.
  • Copy Trading: Yes, To Any third-party platforms, as long as they are used for copying one’s own trades only
  • Inactivity Rule: We don’t have an inactivity period. You have 30 days to pass the evaluation before your subscription renews, unless you cancel it. Your subscription will continue to rebill every 30 days until you either pass or cancel.
  • DCA - Dollar Cost Averaging (Stacking): We allow DCA/position stacking, but you can only enter the same instrument and direction up to 3 times per trade idea: 1 initial entry + up to 2 additional adds. This 3-entry limit applies to all account sizes and is a behavior rule, separate from the Max Contracts rule. A 4th entry in the same direction on the same instrument is a violation, even if you’re still under your contract cap. You must always respect both: max 3 entries per idea and the Max Contracts limits for your account size.
  • Micro Scalping: Manual scalping is allowed, but high-frequency “tick scalping” and HFT-style behavior are not. There is no strict minimum hold time per trade, but the Risk Team actively monitors for patterns where trades are repeatedly opened and closed within a few seconds (0-10s), as this is considered prohibited HFT/arbitrage-style activity. If you are manually entering and exiting based on market structure and your trades last longer than mere feed latency, you are within the intended rules.
  • Hedging: You cannot hold a Long and Short position on the same asset simultaneously. This includes cross-contract hedging. For example, holding a Long position on a Mini contract (e.g., NQ) while simultaneously holding a Short position on the Micro equivalent (e.g., MNQ) is a strict violation.
  • One-Direction Rule: Using max leverage on a single trade idea without technical justification. This includes consistently across many accounts taking advantage of one single market direction to keep placing one-sided trades. We understand this behavior as intentional one-sided trading rather than legitimate strategy.
  • Bulk account exploitation: Buying many accounts to trade in an exploitative manner is explicitly listed as a prohibited strategy.
  • High Frequency Trading: Strategies that enter and exit positions in sub‑second intervals to exploit server latency are labeled HFT and are strictly prohibited.
  • Stop‑Loss policy: Not required. But strongly recommended.
  • VPN Usage: Use of VPNs, VPSs, or any location-masking tools to bypass these restrictions is strictly prohibited and may result in account termination and forfeiture of any profits.

Blueberry Futures review

Rules and prices checked on 1 October 2026 against Blueberry Futures’s own website and terms.

Blueberry Futures is the futures evaluation brand of the Blueberry group, which also runs Blueberry Funded and Blueberry Markets. It is operated by BBEducation, a Cayman Islands company, and card payments are handled by a third party merchant of record. Two evaluations are sold as monthly subscriptions that end once the funded account is activated. Ascent uses an end of day trailing drawdown and costs $139 to $607 a month for 25K to 150K accounts, with a two day minimum. Accelerated uses an intraday trailing drawdown that follows open equity and costs $110.40 to $454 a month, with a one day minimum. Both set profit targets of $1,500 to $10,000, have no daily loss limit and no evaluation consistency rule, and charge no activation fee. Funded accounts pay 90% of each payout after five days with at least $200 profit, subject to a 35% consistency rule on Ascent or 20% on Accelerated, a buffer and a cap of $1,500 to $4,500 per cycle. Trading takes place only on the BlackArrow platform, positions are closed around 4:45 pm ET, and new orders are blocked for three minutes either side of major news. The firm states that payouts are currently slower than usual while it upgrades its payment systems.

Suits

Intraday futures traders who are comfortable on BlackArrow and want a monthly evaluation with no daily loss limit and a choice of end of day or intraday drawdown.

Less suited to

You rely on NinjaTrader, Tradovate or bought automated systems, need fast payouts, or live in Australia or another restricted country.

Pros

  • Ascent uses an end of day trailing drawdown, while Accelerated offers a lower price with an intraday trailing drawdown.
  • Neither evaluation has a daily loss limit or a consistency rule.
  • There is no activation fee, and the subscription ends once the funded account is activated.
  • Real time level one market data is included, with no data fee during the evaluation.
  • Self built automated strategies can be used once they are disclosed to and approved by the firm.

Cons

  • BlackArrow is the only platform, and Tradovate, Rithmic and NinjaTrader are not offered.
  • Funded payouts need five days of at least $200 profit, a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600 and a 20% or 35% consistency ratio.
  • The firm states that payouts are currently delayed, with transfers to Rise taking up to 7 to 14 business days.
  • Traders are limited to three funded accounts, and live promotion is reviewed only after seven payout cycles or $28,000 withdrawn.
  • The Trustpilot profile has only nine reviews, with a score of 3.3.

Verdict

Blueberry Futures keeps its range simple, with two evaluations that differ mainly in drawdown type. Ascent's end of day drawdown gives more room for intraday swings, while Accelerated is cheaper but trails open equity in real time. Neither has a daily loss limit or an evaluation consistency rule, level one data is included, and there is no activation fee after passing.

The funded stage is more demanding. Each payout cycle needs five days with at least $200 profit, a consistency ratio of 35% on Ascent or 20% on Accelerated, and profit above a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600, with caps of $1,500 to $4,500 per cycle. Traders can hold at most three funded accounts, and level two data costs $61 a month once funded. Live promotion is reviewed only after seven payout cycles or $28,000 withdrawn from one account, and the live account's size equals the original drawdown, from $1,000 to $4,500.

Several operational points also matter. BlackArrow is the only platform, so Tradovate, Rithmic and NinjaTrader users would need to switch. Automated systems must be self built and approved in advance, averaging into a trade is limited to three entries, and using a VPN or VPS to mask location is prohibited. The firm states that transfers to Rise are currently taking up to 7 to 14 business days. Trustpilot shows only nine reviews, and residents of Australia, Pakistan and several sanctioned countries cannot join.

Blueberry Futures suits intraday traders who are comfortable on BlackArrow and want a low monthly entry price without a daily loss limit. It is a poor fit for traders who rely on NinjaTrader or Tradovate, or who need quick payouts.

Payouts

Payout

For both Accelerated and Ascent funded (Performance) accounts, the payout logic is the same. The only difference by program is the consistency % cap (explained below)

To be able to request a payout in a given cycle you must:

Complete 5 profitable trading days

  • A Profitable Day = $200+ net profit on that day.
  • Days with less than $200 profit do not count toward the 5.

Respect the Consistency Rule (per program)

  • Accelerated: No single day can be more than 20% of total cycle profit.
  • Ascent: No single day can be more than 35% of total cycle profit.

Have enough profit to cover BOTH

  • The Required Buffer (must stay in the account)
  • The Minimum Payout (minimum you’re allowed to withdraw)
    Required buffer: 25k - $1100, 50k - $2100, 100k - $3100, 150k - $4600

Minimum payout + buffer

  • 25k - $250 + $1,100
  • 50k - $500 + $2,100
  • 100k - $750 + $3,100
  • 150k - $1,000 + $4,600

There is no waiting period after you meet these conditions - as soon as you satisfy them, you can request a payout and start that cycle’s review.

Questions about Blueberry Futures

How much does Blueberry Futures cost?

Evaluations are billed monthly until the funded account is activated. Ascent costs $139, $245, $368 or $607 a month for 25K, 50K, 100K or 150K, and Accelerated costs $110.40, $184, $276 or $454. There is no activation fee. Evaluation resets cost $41.40 to $310 depending on plan and size, and funded account resets cost $250 to $1,000.

What is the difference between Ascent and Accelerated?

Ascent uses an end of day trailing drawdown that only moves with closing balances, needs at least two trading days to pass and applies a 35% consistency rule once funded. Accelerated uses an intraday trailing drawdown that follows open equity, can be passed in one day, costs less and applies a 20% consistency rule once funded. Both share the same targets, drawdown amounts and contract limits.

How do Blueberry Futures payouts work?

Funded accounts pay 90% of each payout. Each cycle needs five days with at least $200 profit and the consistency rule met, and only profit above a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600 can be withdrawn, up to $1,500 to $4,500 per cycle. Payouts go through Rise or directly in USDT on TRC20, and the firm currently reports transfers to Rise taking up to 7 to 14 business days.

Does Blueberry Futures have a consistency rule?

There is no consistency rule during either evaluation. Once funded, no single day may exceed 35% of total profit on Ascent or 20% on Accelerated when a withdrawal is requested. The calculation uses US Central time rather than the UTC shown in BlackArrow, so a trade near midnight can fall on a different day. Missing the ratio blocks the withdrawal until more profit is made.

Which platform does Blueberry Futures use?

BlackArrow, a terminal developed by Nelogica, is the only platform offered, with desktop, web and mobile versions. Tradovate, Rithmic and NinjaTrader are not available. Level one market data is included, and funded traders can add level two depth of market data for $61 a month. Contract limits are enforced by the platform at 1, 2, 6 or 9 minis depending on account size.

Can I use bots or trade news at Blueberry Futures?

Automated trading is allowed only with a system the trader built, running the trader's own strategy, and approved by the firm before use; bought or shared systems are prohibited. For news, new orders cannot be placed from three minutes before to three minutes after a red folder event on the asset, although positions opened earlier may be held. Hedging and more than three entries per trade idea are prohibited.
