With an overall rating of 85/100, Blueberry Futures enters the market as a new futures-focused arm of the Blueberry brand, offering two one step challenges with fast execution and clear trading rules. You can trade deep-liquidity CME markets covering forex, commodities, and indices, on the prop firms BlackArrow futures trading platform.
Blueberry Futures Summary
Blueberry Futures is the second major prop trading product launched under the Blueberry Markets brand, following the success of Blueberry Funded, their CFD-based prop firm.
The setup is intentionally simple, you have two one step challenges, identical targets across all account sizes, and a choice between the more forgiving Ascent (end-of-day drawdown) or the tighter Accelerated (real-time trailing drawdown).
Fast execution through BlackArrow and a focused CME market list keep the trading conditions clean and predictable, giving you user friendly and straightforward path to funded trading without unnecessary complexity.
Blueberry Futures keeps things simple with two one step challenges that share the same profit targets, drawdown sizes, contract limits, and 30-day window. The 50k, 100k, and 150k accounts all aim for $3,000, $6,000, and $10,000 targets, paired with $2,000, $3,000, and $4,500 max drawdowns. Minimum trading days are light: two days for Ascent and one for Accelerated, each requiring at least $200 profit.
Fees start at $184 on Accelerated and $245 on Ascent, with higher prices at larger sizes. Since the targets, contracts, and market access are the same across both, your choice comes down to how you prefer the drawdown to behave: end of day safety on Ascent or real time trailing risk on Accelerated.
| Feature | Ascent Challenge (EOD) | Accelerated Challenge (Trailing) |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation structure | One step | One Step |
| Evaluation fee range | $245 - $610 | $184 - $456 |
| Account sizes | 50k, 100k, 150k | 50k, 100k, 150k |
| Time to complete | 30 calendar days | 30 calendar days |
| Profit target | 6% on 50k and 100k, ~6.7% on 150k | Same dollar targets as Ascent (3k, 6k, 10k) |
| Max drawdown | End of day drawdown, 2k / 3k / 4.5k | Real time trailing drawdown with the same dollar caps |
| Daily loss limit | None, only global drawdown matters | None, only global drawdown matters |
| Min trading days to pass | 2 active days with ≥ 200 profit | 1 active day with ≥ 200 profit |
| Max contracts | 2 / 6 / 9 minis or 20 / 60 / 90 micros per size | Same contract caps as Ascent |
| Profit split | Up to 90% | Up to 90% |
| Reset cost range | $125 - $310 per reset | $79 - $194 per reset |
Ascent is the more forgiving choice because the drawdown only updates at the end of each session. Intraday pullbacks and noisy swings cannot break the account as long as you close above the limit. This makes the profile comfortable for swing intraday traders or anyone who likes to scale in and hold through volatility during the RTH session.
The higher fee buys you a much steadier experience. The risk profile stays similar across account sizes because the drawdown scales with the target, but the feel changes with contract capacity. A 50k account with 2 minis is sensitive to fast moves, while the 150k account with 9 minis spreads that risk out.
Most traders notice Ascent’s personality through its longer passing window and the freedom it gives to let trades breathe intraday.
| Specification | 50,000 Account | 100,000 Account | 150,000 Account |
|---|---|---|---|
| One time fee | 245 | 370 | 610 |
| Profit target | 3,000 | 6,000 | 10,000 |
| Max drawdown (EOD) | 2,000 | 3,000 | 4,500 |
| Daily loss limit | None | None | None |
| Time to complete | 30 days | 30 days | 30 days |
| Min days to pass | 2 days ≥ 200 profit | 2 days ≥ 200 profit | 2 days ≥ 200 profit |
| Max contracts | 2 minis / 20 micros | 6 minis / 60 micros | 9 minis / 90 micros |
| Reset cost | 125 | 188.70 | 310 |
Accelerated costs less but demands tighter execution. The trailing drawdown moves up with every new equity high, so giving back open gains can quickly close the gap between your balance and the limit. Traders who bank profits decisively usually adapt faster, while wide-averaging or grid-style tactics tend to struggle.
Because you only need one active day of $200+ to pass, the challenge can be cleared quickly, but the trailing drawdown means you cannot spike the target and then step aside.
The structure feels more high conviction, pushing you toward clean setups and disciplined intraday risk instead of extended experimentation.
| Specification | 50,000 Account | 100,000 Account | 150,000 Account |
|---|---|---|---|
| One time fee | 184 | 276 | 456 |
| Profit target | 3,000 | 6,000 | 10,000 |
| Max trailing drawdown | 2,000 trailing | 3,000 trailing | 4,500 trailing |
| Daily loss limit | None | None | None |
| Time to complete | 30 days | 30 days | 30 days |
| Min days to pass | 1 day ≥ 200 profit | 1 day ≥ 200 profit | 1 day ≥ 200 profit |
| Max contracts | 2 minis / 20 micros | 6 minis / 60 micros | 9 minis / 90 micros |
| Reset cost | 79 | 118 | 194 |
Blueberry’s long-term pathway includes the possibility of allocation growth up to $450,000. The most concrete milestone relates to live accounts. A trader becomes eligible for review after seven payout cycles or $28,000 withdrawn from a single funded account. Eligibility does not guarantee an upgrade, since the firm still checks strategy, consistency, and behaviour before offering a live account with a $2,000 drawdown and 2 mini or 20 micro capacity.
The rule set focuses on clean behaviour and simple risk control. Only the single max drawdown matters: Ascent checks it at day close, while Accelerated trails it in real time. Minimum days are light, and funded accounts require five profitable days of $200+ per payout cycle.
Position sizing is controlled through fixed contract caps and a one entry + two add-ons structure. A fourth add counts as stacking and can breach the rules. All trading must be manual. Automated systems, trade copiers, hedging (including cross-contract hedging like ES versus MES), and sub-second HFT behaviour are prohibited.
You may trade the open and normal intraday sessions, but cannot open new trades three minutes before or after high impact news. Existing positions may be held or closed. No overnight or weekend holds are allowed, and repeated auto-closures can be treated as violations. Funded traders must also meet the consistency rule, which limits any single day’s profit contribution to 35% on Ascent or 20% on Accelerated.
How we Tested Blueberry’s Challenges
Blueberry’s streamlined one step evaluations and clear risk structure earned them a 9/10 in our testing. The firm scores highly because the rules are consistent, the profit targets are reasonable, and the drawdown behaviour is fully transparent across both account types. Minimum days are light, and the absence of a daily loss limit keeps the challenge trader-friendly. The only reason it falls just short of perfect is the strict manual-execution requirement and tight DCA limits, but overall this is one of the cleanest futures challenge structures available.
Blueberry’s pricing model is simple enough that you can plan your costs without worrying about hidden data charges or platform fees. The evaluation fee covers almost everything you need to trade, and the only recurring expenses come from optional upgrades or resets. For futures traders used to juggling exchange fees and routing costs, that clean structure is one of the easier parts of the platform.
The one off fee gives you full access to BlackArrow, real-time Level 1 CME data, and all supported futures markets. There are no activation fees when you pass, which removes a common “surprise bill” other futures firms still use. Because the evaluation includes all mandatory data, you are only ever paying extra for things you actively choose.
Where you will feel the real difference is in how your strategy interacts with resets. The Ascent account costs more upfront, but its end-of-day drawdown gives you room to work positions. The trailing Accelerated model is cheaper to enter but naturally produces more resets if you trade through deep intraday swings. Over a month or two, the cheaper evaluation can cost more if your style isn’t aligned.
Blueberry only offers two optional monthly charges, and both are tied to preference rather than requirements.
The monthly subscription is designed for high-volume evaluators.
It adds premium analytics, journaling tools, priority support, and reduces the price of every reset by 15%.
If you rarely breach, the subscription won’t pay for itself.
If you tend to push size or run multiple accounts, the discount quickly matters.
The other optional cost is the professional DOM feed. Standard top-of-book data is free, but if you rely on depth you should factor in the monthly $61 exchange fee. It doesn’t change your rules or payout schedule, but it does change your trading workflow if you heavily depend on ladder-driven decision making.
Reset pricing is simple, but the bigger insight is how it changes the economics of each model. Ascent resets cost more, but the EOD buffer means many traders reset far less often. Accelerated resets are cheaper, but the trailing logic tightens quickly behind new highs, so you need more discipline around locking in gains.
It’s worth thinking about this before choosing a model.
The cheapest evaluation is not always the cheapest account to keep alive.
Commission costs are already built into the BlackArrow environment, so you don’t pay per-contract platform fees or exchange routing charges. That keeps micros and small-lot scalps viable, because you’re not trying to overcome stacked per-trade fees just to break even. For traders used to futures brokers that charge separately for data, routing, and per-contract commissions, the cleaner structure helps stabilize long-term costs. You can expect efficient trade execution ideal for experienced traders, which is what the Blueberry brand is well known for.
How We Tested Blueberry’s Pricing
Blueberry’s transparent fee structure and low overall trading costs earned a 9/10. All essential costs, being CME data, platform access, and routing, are included in the challenge fee, with no commissions or activation charges. Reset pricing is predictable and reflects the design of each account type. The optional $61 DOM feed prevents a perfect score, but the core pricing remains among the most competitive in the futures prop space.
Blueberry gives you a focused set of CME futures that covers the trading instruments most intraday traders actually use, with index futures, forex futures, and a small set of commodity contracts. You don’t get the full cafeteria of global products you’d find at an FCM, and there’s no cryptocurrency markets, but everything offered here trades with reliable liquidity, predictable tick behaviour, low latency, and enough depth to support both micro-precision strategies and mini-contract momentum trading.
Everything listed trades on CME, CBOT, NYMEX, or COMEX, and Blueberry explicitly restricts you to these exchanges so the environment stays clean and rule-consistent.
Your risk is defined by standard CME tick values and the contract caps assigned to each account size. This prevents oversized positions and mirrors real futures margin far more closely than most prop firms, creating a more authentic and controlled trading experience.
| Market | Contract | Tick Size | Tick Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-mini S&P 500 | ES | 0.25 | $12.50 |

How We Tested Blueberry’s Futures Markets
Blueberry’s focused CME market selection and deep liquidity earned them a 9/10. Our methodology rewards firms that offer high-quality, trade-ready markets rather than broad but thin product lists. Blueberry’s lineup of index, forex, and commodity futures fits real intraday strategies perfectly. The absence of crypto, stocks, ETFs, or niche futures trims a point, but the practical market access is excellent.
Blueberry Futures uses BlackArrow as its trading platform across evaluations and funded accounts. Despite the CFD broker backing the futures prop firm, Blueberry Markets, offering MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, these platforms aren’t designed for futures trading strategies. Instead, the BlackArrow platform is user-friendly and built specifically for futures, so the charts, DOM, and order flow tools behave like a typical exchange connected terminal rather than a multi-asset retail platform.
BlackArrow feels stable and straightforward in practice. Execution is quick, the platform handles minis and micros cleanly, and you do not deal with synthetic pricing or unusual tick behaviour.
BlackArrow does not include built-in market news, analysis tools, or VPS, so you’ll need to use external sources for economic calendars or research. Overall, BlackArrow keeps execution clean and predictable, supports the core CME markets well, and avoids the clutter that comes with broader multi asset platforms.
How We Tested Blueberry’s Trading Platforms
Blueberry’s use of BlackArrow as a single-platform solution earned a 7.5/10. Execution is fast and stable, and the platform handles minis and micros cleanly, aligning well with futures trader needs. However, our methodology favours firms with multiple platform choices or integrated research tools. With no MT5, TradingView, or built-in news, functionality is strong but not broad enough for a higher score.
Blueberry Futures uses short payout cycles, fixed withdrawal limits, and simple payment methods through RiseWorks and USDT, and steady funded performance can eventually qualify you for live account consideration after enough successful payout cycles. The only initial minimum deposit required to start your challenge is the initial fee, unless you sign up for paid add-ons like level 2 data or the monthly subscription.
Your first payout becomes available once you complete KYC through Veriff and meet the funded-account requirements. A payout cycle requires five profitable trading days, and each qualifying day must show at least $200 in net profit. Flat days or losses do not count toward the five-day total.
When you request a payout, the account is paused while the withdrawal is processed. A new cycle starts immediately afterward, so the process becomes a simple loop: build five qualifying days, withdraw, repeat.
Blueberry sets both minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts per cycle. You can withdraw no less than $500 and no more than $2,500 in a single cycle. This range applies across all funded accounts regardless of size.
After each payout, the account must still hold at least $2,100. If your balance falls below this level, the account may be closed and any remaining profit split 60/40, with 60 percent going to the trader. The buffer is essentially the margin floor required to keep the funded account viable.
To pay for your challenge fees you can use credit cards or debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Blueberry Futures does not accept crypto, PayPal, skrill, or bank transfers for purchasing evaluations.
Blueberry processes withdrawals through two channels. RiseWorks is the primary option and supports local bank transfers and digital payout formats within its system. If you prefer crypto you can withdraw using USDT on the TRC-20 network. The firm warns that using the wrong network can result in permanent loss of funds, so the payout address must match TRC-20.
Everyone must complete Veriff KYC before requesting their first withdrawal. The verification is a standard ID and selfie check and only needs to be completed once.
How We Tested Blueberry’s Payouts
Blueberry’s predictable withdrawals and 90% profit split earned them an 8/10 in payout scoring. The five-day payout cycle is simple and fast, and RiseWorks plus USDT give traders flexible options. The capped withdrawal range and $2,100 buffer create some limitation, but the overall system is reliable, quick, and easier to manage than many futures props.
Blueberry Futures has solid customer support with 7 day availability and a community-driven Discord, giving you quick access to help and ongoing program updates. The support team handles most queries through ticketing and chat, and response times are generally fast because futures accounts are simpler to service than multi-asset setups.
You can reach the team through their helpdesk for account issues, rules questions, and payout status checks. Support runs every day, which helps if you trade around market opens or need clarity during a payout cycle. The Discord server adds another layer of access with announcements, promotions, and community discussion, although it is more social than instructional.
Educational tools sit inside the dashboard rather than a full training library. If you are using the monthly subscription you’ll get access to extended analytics, heatmaps, and journaling features, which help you review performance without needing third party tools and handy for beginners.
While there is no formal course or curriculum, the platform gives you enough data to evaluate your own trading patterns and stay within the rules.
How We Tested Blueberry’s Support & Education
Blueberry’s daily support coverage and analytics tools earned a 7/10. Response timeframes are quick, and the Discord community is active and helpful. Educational depth is lighter with no full learning library, but the built-in analytics, heatmaps, and journaling options offer useful market analysis. Solid customer support with modest education earns a mid-high score.
Blueberry Futures is supported by the wider Blueberry ecosystem, which includes Blueberry Markets, a top tier CFD brokerage regulated by ASIC and additional international authorities. This brokerage background matters for traders because it provides a real operational backbone rather than a stand-alone prop venture with limited infrastructure. The futures program is not a regulated prop firm, but it is backed by regulated broker Blueberry Markets, which gives the trading experience a stronger foundation than most new futures props.
Alongside the brokerage sits Blueberry Funded, the firm’s established CFD prop trading firm. That program has built a reliable reputation in the prop trading space through consistent payouts and clear operational processes. Blueberry Futures uses the same internal treasury and back-office framework, so even though it has just launched and does not yet have Trustpilot history, it benefits heavily from a parent brand that already manages prop operations at scale.
The firm also provides transparent public data about brand size, including more than 15,000 active traders and over $3.6 million in total payouts across the ecosystem. While these numbers cover the broader Blueberry brand rather than the futures program alone, they help show that the infrastructure behind the new product is not untested.
Country restrictions are clearly published, covering regions such as Australia, Russia, Belarus, Iran, Myanmar, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and several sanctioned areas of Ukraine. If you’re in these regions cannot access the program, and using VPNs or masked locations to bypass this is prohibited by the company.
Because the futures program is new, long term reviews and third party ratings are still developing. Even so, the combination of a regulated brokerage, an already proven prop division, and a transparent set of operating rules gives Blueberry Futures a stronger starting point than most new futures props. The backing from a top tier brokerage and the consistency of the wider Blueberry ecosystem help create confidence in the platform while the futures product builds its own track record.
How We Tested Blueberry’s Trust & Transparency
Blueberry’s regulated broker backing and proven prop infrastructure earned a 9.5/10, one of the highest trust scores we awarded. Being backed by ASIC regulated Blueberry Markets and the established Blueberry Funded program provides a level of credibility most new futures prop trading firms cannot match. Clear rules, published restrictions, and years of experience within the online trading space give traders confidence. The only deduction comes from the futures division being newly launched.
Blueberry Futures lands at 85/100 overall, helped by strong challenges, tight pricing, deep CME markets, and one of the best trust profiles in the futures prop space. It suits traders who already understand futures behaviour and want a clean, rules-based trading environment backed by a regulated brokerage, rather than a flashy start up. Ascent is a good fit if you like EOD-style risk with room to hold through noise, while Accelerated appeals more to disciplined intraday traders who are comfortable protecting equity highs.
It will not suit everyone, grid traders, heavy martingale users, and anyone who depends on automation or overnight swing holding will likely find the rules too restrictive. If you want the broadest platform choice, or you rely heavily on built-in news and research, you may prefer a different setup like FXIFY Futures or FundedNext Futures.
But, for futures traders who value clear rules, consistently fast execution, and strong CFD broker backing, its one of the best futures prop firms.
Yes, Blueberry is considered a trusted brand because it is a broker backed prop firm, connected to Blueberry Markets, a regulated CFD brokerage, and supported by the established Blueberry Funded prop firm. While Blueberry Futures itself is new and still building independent reviews, the wider ecosystem provides a stable operational base, treasury management, and verified payout history.
Yes, Blueberry Futures is effectively commission free because all execution costs are already built into the BlackArrow environment. You do not pay separate routing fees, platform charges, or per contract commissions during evaluations or funded accounts. This keeps micros and intraday prop trading strategies viable and avoids the stacked fee model used by many futures brokers. You only pay the initial challenge fee, optional add ons, or a reset if you breach the drawdown.
Yes, prop trading is high risk because strict drawdown limits mean any breach ends the account immediately. In futures, that risk feels sharper due to fast price movement and contract volatility. The difference compared to trading your own capital is that your financial risk is capped at the initial challenge fee and any resets, rather than losses coming directly from your personal funds. The trading environment still requires discipline, but the personal financial exposure is lower than running a live futures account.
