Blueberry Futures - Futures Prop Firm Details

Ascent

• One trading day cannot amount to more than 35% of your overall profit (Funded stage)

Accelerated

• One trading day cannot amount to more than 20% of your overall profit (Funded stage)

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.

Expert Advisors

• You can use automated trading software on your Blueberry Futures account only if it meets all three of these conditions:
• It is proprietary. You built it yourself. Not bought, rented, shared, or commissioned from someone else.
• It runs your own strategy. The trading logic and risk decisions in it are yours.
• You disclosed it and received our consent before running it. Contact support, tell us what the tool is and what it does, and wait for our confirmation before it places a single trade.
• This applies on every account and at every stage.

Copy Trading

• Personal trade copiers are allowed for copying your own trades across your own accounts. You manually place a trade and the copier replicates it across your portfolio. Signal copying from external providers or third-party services is strictly prohibited.

Inactivity

• Blueberry Futures doesn'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)

• DCA/position stacking is allowed, 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.

Microscalping

• Manual scalping is allowed, but high-frequency "tick scalping" and HFT-style behavior are not.
• Is there a minimum time I must hold a trade? No, the firm does not enforce a hard "1-minute" rule for every single trade. However, the Risk Team monitors for Tick Scalping behavior. Trades that are consistently opened and closed in sub-second intervals (e.g., 0-5 seconds) are characteristic of High-Frequency Trading (HFT) and arbitrage bots. This trading behavior is prohibited. If you are manually entering and exiting trades based on market structure, you have nothing to worry about. Legitimate scalping typically lasts significantly longer than the latency of a data feed.

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. This behavior is understood 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 "restricted countries" rule is strictly prohibited and may result in account termination and forfeiture of any profits.

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

Maximum Payout (Cap)

• 25k - $1500
• 50k - $2500
• 100k - $3500
• 150k - $4500

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.
