Blue Guardian runs more US ads than almost any prop firm we track, on both Facebook and Google, for forex and futures challenges.
We opened its checkout from a US connection to see what an American actually gets.
Can Americans buy Blue Guardian?
Can a US resident buy this?
Yes, on Match-Trader or TradeLocker.
We tested it. The checkout preselected United States (billing_country=US) and listed all 50 states, DC and Armed Forces. The country list is filtered: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Cuba, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Senegal, Syria and Vietnam are absent, but Jordan and the Philippines still appear even though the help center lists them as restricted. With the US selected, the MetaTrader 5 button is disabled (greyed, class dsbl-btn2) and Match-Trader and TradeLocker stay active. Switching to the UK or Canada re-enables MT5.
“Note: Existing and prospective US clients are restricted to using Match Trader and TradeLocker only.” — their own words
“Restricted countries from using are services include: Afghanistan Albania Algeria Cuba Iran Jordan Libya Myanmar North Korea Philippines Senegal Syria Vietnam” — their own words

Is Blue Guardian a real, operating business?
Before a code matters, the company behind it has to be real and reachable. Here’s what Blue Guardian’s own site and documents tell us.
- Legal entity
- Iconic Exchange FZCO
- Based in
- Dubai, UAE
- Operating since
- Not yet confirmed
- Trustpilot reviews
- 2,094 (size, not a rating)
- Google-verified advertiser
- ICONIC EXCHANGE - FZCO (UAE)
- Ads running in the US
- ~113 on Facebook/Instagram · ~400 on Google
We haven’t yet confirmed the year it started operating from Blue Guardian’s own documents. That isn’t an accusation. It means it’s still on our list, and we won’t fill the gap from other review sites.
The advertiser name and ad counts come from Google’s Ads Transparency Center and Meta’s Ad Library, viewed from the US on Oct 1, 2026. Google verifies who pays for ads; that’s independent evidence the business is real and operating, but it isn’t the firm’s own documentation. Ad counts are approximate.
What we found ourselves
- Blue Guardian advertises the code BG25 on its own site (25% off (banner on /futures and the checkout)). It's the firm's own promotion, not a code we negotiated, and we haven't tested it at checkout yet.

Before you buy
No MetaTrader 5 for US forex traders
The help center says US clients may only use Match-Trader or TradeLocker, and the checkout greys out MT5 when the US is selected.
Guardian Shield auto-closes funded trades
On funded 1 Step Standard accounts, trades are auto-closed at a 2% floating loss.
30-day inactivity breach, counted from account creation
You must place at least one trade every 30 days, and the inactivity clock starts when the account is created, not at the first trade.
Disputes go to Dubai arbitration, with a class-action waiver
The T&C send disputes to arbitration in Dubai, UAE, and waive class actions.
Bottom line
Open to Americans for forex (Match-Trader or TradeLocker) and futures (Tradovate). Read the Guardian Shield and inactivity rules before you buy, and note disputes go to arbitration in Dubai.
