Blueberry Futures Review April 2026

Blueberry Futures operates under the Blueberry brand, powered by Blueberry Markets, an ASIC-regulated brokerage with 8+ years of operational history and 15,000+ active traders. This company is backed by the same team behind Blueberry Funded. The parent company holds ASIC (Australia) and VFSC (Vanuatu) licenses. Blueberry Futures is also a founding member of The Prop Association, an industry standardization group.

The broker-backed infrastructure provides structural credibility that standalone firms lack. The Blackarrow platform, developed by Nelogica, is a recognized institutional-grade system used globally.

The firm's primary limitation is its age, it was founded in November 2025 The brand-level payout figure ($7M+) includes payouts from Blueberry Funded (the forex/CFD arm), not Blueberry Futures specifically. Independent verification of Blueberry Futures-only payout data is limited.

An Overview of Blueberry Futures

Blueberry Futures is a futures-only proprietary trading firm founded in November 2025 by Dean Hyde and Marcus Fetherston. The firm is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and serves as the futures arm of the Blueberry brand, which includes Blueberry Funded (a forex/CFD prop firm) and Blueberry Markets (an ASIC-regulated brokerage with 8+ years of history and 50,000+ clients).

Blueberry Futures trades exclusively on CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX-listed products. The firm is not registered with the SEC or CFTC, which is standard for simulated futures evaluation programs.

Blueberry Futures is a founding member of The Prop Association, an industry group working to standardize practices across prop firms. The Blueberry brand ecosystem enables traders to access both forex/CFD evaluations (through Blueberry Funded at blueberryfunded.com) and futures evaluations (through Blueberry Futures) within the same parent infrastructure.

💡 The live account pathway with concrete milestones ($28,000 in withdrawals or 7 payout cycles) adds a transparency layer. Here's what your path would look like:

Blueberry Futures charges zero commissions on all futures contracts: it has no routing fees, no platform charges, no per-contract costs. Every execution expense is built into the Blackarrow platform environment. That zero-commission structure, combined with broker-backed infrastructure from the same team behind Blueberry Funded (ASIC-regulated Blueberry Markets), a 90% profit split from the first payout, and a clear pathway to live funded accounts, makes Blueberry Futures a distinct entry in the futures prop firm space.

Keep on studying the firm with our review. Uncover both evaluation models, every funded account rule, the Blackarrow platform, pricing, and all the details that matter to start trading.

Zero Commissions: How the Cost Structure Works at Blueberry Futures

Most futures prop firms pass exchange, routing, and platform fees to the trader. A standard ES round-turn at other firms costs $4-$8 in combined commissions and exchange fees. At Blueberry Futures, the evaluation fee covers everything: platform access, real-time Level 1 CME data, and all execution costs. There are no separate line items for commissions, data feeds, or platform licensing.

For micro contract traders and intraday scalpers, this matters. Stacked per-contract fees erode margins on high-frequency strategies. Blueberry Futures removes that friction entirely. The only recurring costs are the monthly evaluation fee, if you are still in the challenge phase, and the optional reset fees if the account is breached.

📌 Once funded, there are no ongoing platform or data charges.

The Blackarrow Platform

Blueberry Futures runs exclusively on Blackarrow, a proprietary trading platform developed by Nelogica. Blackarrow is built for futures prop firms and provides 100+ technical indicators, volume analysis tools, top-of-book market data, depth of market visualization, and advanced risk management features.

✅ The platform is available on web, desktop, and mobile. You can download the app from the Google Play and App Store; it has over 100K downloads.

✅ Blackarrow is used across 160+ countries and millions of users globally. The platform is not a white-label MT5 or cTrader instance. It is purpose-built for contract-based futures execution, with features like order flow analysis and footprint charting that institutional futures traders rely on.

❌ The trade-off is platform exclusivity. Blueberry Futures does not support NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Sierra Chart, or other third-party platforms.

💡 If you require a specific platform, consider firms like Apex Trader Funding or My Funded Futures, which offer broader platform selection.

Two Evaluation Models: Ascent and Accelerated

Blueberry Futures offers two 1-step evaluation models with identical profit targets, contract limits, and account sizes. The difference is the drawdown calculation. Understanding which type applies is critical. For a comparison of how these drawdown models differ, see our guide to trailing drawdown vs. EOD drawdown.

Below, find all the details we analyzed about the two evaluation models. As we said, the main difference lies in the drawdown mechanics: Ascent has an EOD drawdown and the Accelerated model a Trailing drawdown. Check them out.

1. Ascent: End-of-Day Drawdown

The Ascent model uses end-of-day (EOD) drawdown. The drawdown threshold updates only at market close and intraday equity swings do not move the floor. This is the more forgiving option. You can be down $1,000 at midday, recover by close, and the drawdown stays at the closing balance. Some more details about this model:

• You need a minimum of 2 trading days (each requiring $200+ net profit).
• The evaluation has a 30-day window.
• Monthly subscription pricing.
• No consistency rule during evaluation.
• The consistency rule activates only on the funded account (35% max daily profit).

2. Accelerated: Trailing Drawdown

The Accelerated model uses real-time trailing drawdown that follows the account's peak equity throughout the trading session: As profits grow intraday, the floor moves up immediately. This is tighter than EOD and requires more precise position sizing. The advantage is speed: only 1 minimum trading day ($200+ profit) is required. The specifics:

• 30-day evaluation window.
• Monthly subscription pricing.
• No consistency rule during evaluation.
• The funded account consistency rule is stricter at 20% max daily profit (compared to 35% on Ascent).

Evaluation Comparison: Ascent vs. Accelerated

📌 No daily loss limit is enforced during evaluation on either model. The only breach trigger is the max drawdown. This is a trader-friendly detail: many competitors enforce both a daily loss limit and a max drawdown during evaluation.

Pricing of Ascent and Accelerated Accounts

All evaluation fees are monthly subscriptions that stop billing once the trader passes and enters the funded stage. The firm runs regular promotional codes (currently 60% off with FUTURES60). Check our prop firm deals page for active Blueberry Futures discounts.

💡 Reset fees vary by account size and plan type ($41-$310 depending on size and Ascent/Accelerated). Activation fees apply only to the Pro-funded tier ($110). The Standard-funded tier has no activation fee.

Funded Account: Pro and Standard Tiers

After passing the evaluation, you will jump right into the funded stage. Blueberry Futures offers two funded account tiers: Pro and Standard. These are visible in the plan details comparison on the website, but are not prominently marketed. The tier determines activation fees, consistency rules, contract limits, and maximum funded accounts. Here's a summary we created for you:

• The Standard tier is cheaper ($89/month for $50K vs $189/month for Pro), carries no activation fee, allows up to 10 funded accounts, and uses a more lenient 40% consistency rule.
• The Pro tier has a tighter 30% consistency rule, a $110 activation fee, and a higher profit target ($4,000 vs $3,000), but limits funded accounts to 5.

📌 Important to verify: The Pro and Standard funded tiers appear in the plan details comparison on blueberryfutures.com, but are not prominently displayed. The exact funded tier assignment may depend on evaluation type or checkout selection. Confirm which tier applies before purchasing.

How Payouts Work: Payment Methods, Withdrawals, and Cycle

At the moment, the company only accepts payments via credit and debit cards. These are the options you have: 

• Visa

• Mastercard

• American Express

• Discover

As regards withdrawals, the most important rule is that you can't withdraw funds that are part of your buffer. The payout request is simple, but there are thresholds by account, and it depends on your account size for both the Ascent and Accelerated plans:

• $25K: $250 min. payout
• $50K: $500 min. payout
• $100K: $750 min. payout
• $150K: $1,000 min. payout

Payout Cycle Requirements

All of the following must be met within each payout cycle:

• 5 profitable trading days (each with $200+ net profit),
• consistency rule compliance (Ascent: 35% max single day, Accelerated: 20% max single day), and profits above the required buffer.

The buffer equals the drawdown amount plus a margin. For example, on a $50K account with $2,000 drawdown, the buffer is approximately $1,100. Only profits above the buffer are withdrawable.

📌 For strategies on navigating funded stage rules, see our guide on how to pass a prop firm evaluation.

Profit Split and Processing

Blueberry Futures offers a 90% profit split from the first payout. There are no tiers, no scaling requirements, and no add-ons needed to reach 90%. This is higher than most competitors' starting splits (80% is the industry standard on funded accounts). After requesting a payout, the account pauses temporarily while funds process. The 5-day profitable trading count resets after each payout cycle.

The Path to a Live Account

Blueberry Futures offers a pathway to live funded trading. You become eligible for review after meeting one of two milestones: completing 7 payout cycles from a single account, or reaching $28,000 in total withdrawals from that account. Meeting either milestone triggers eligibility, but promotion to a live account is not automatic and remains at Blueberry Futures' sole discretion.

This live account pathway is a meaningful differentiator. Most futures prop firms keep traders on simulated accounts indefinitely. Firms like Earn2Trade offer a similar concept through the Trader Career Path with Helios Trading Partners. Alpha Futures also provides progression toward live capital. The $28,000 threshold and 7-cycle requirement give traders a concrete target to work toward.

Trading Rules and Restrictions

📌 Consistency Rule: The consistency rule applies only to funded accounts, not during the evaluation stage. On the one hand, Ascent funded accounts enforce 35% maximum daily profit, and no single day can represent more than 35% of the total profit. On the other hand, Accelerated funded accounts enforce 20%.

A 4% daily profit cap also applies and it is based on account size. These rules are designed to prevent single-day spikes from carrying the entire payout cycle.

📌 Contract Limits: Position sizes are capped by account tier. Mixing minis and micros is allowed (e.g., 1 mini + 10 micros on a $50K), but the total equivalent leverage cannot exceed the cap. Attempting to open beyond the limit results in an order rejection by the platform.

What Is Allowed?

✅ News trading is permitted. There are no blackout windows around economic events.

✅ Scalping is allowed and Hedging within a single account is also permitted.

✅ There is no restriction on trading timeframes or styles.

These permissive rules contrast with firms that restrict news trading on funded accounts.

What Is Prohibited?

❌ HFT and latency arbitrage are banned.

❌ DCA (dollar-cost averaging) beyond the firm's defined limits is restricted.

❌ Manual execution is required; fully automated strategies that exploit platform infrastructure are not permitted.

❌ Cross-account hedging is prohibited.

No Daily Loss Limit

Neither the evaluation nor the funded stage enforces a separate daily loss limit. The only breach trigger is the max drawdown. This is a significant advantage over firms that enforce both daily and overall drawdown limits. You can take larger intraday positions without hitting a daily floor, as long as the overall drawdown remains intact.

Company Information

Final Ideas: Who Is Blueberry Futures Best For?

Blueberry Futures is built for futures traders who want broker-backed infrastructure, zero trading commissions, and a high profit split from day one. The 90% split without add-ons or scaling requirements is the highest starting split among best prop firms in the futures space. The absence of a daily loss limit on both evaluation and funded stages gives traders room to manage risk through the max drawdown alone.

The Ascent (EOD) model is the better starting point for most traders. EOD drawdown is more forgiving than trailing, and the 2-day minimum is achievable without rushing. The Accelerated model suits traders who can handle trailing drawdown precision and want the fastest path (1-day minimum) to funding.

Nonetheless, Blueberry Futures is not suitable for you if you need platform flexibility, as we mentioned earlier, Blackarrow is the only option available; if you are looking for one-time fees over monthly subscriptions. Additionally, if you'd like to trade overnight, positions must be closed by session end.

All in all, for being a new firm launched in November 2025, the Blueberry Markets parent brand provides operational credibility. The company claims that strategic partnerships and being part of the Blueberry family of brands make them stand out.
