Blue Guardian Futures Commission Math + Promo Code CFP
Separate CFP account-fee savings from per-side ES, NQ, MES and MNQ trading costs, then build a realistic round-trip cost worksheet.
Quick answer
In short: Blue Guardian Futures Commission Math + Promo Code CFP
For one ES contract, the listed $2.88 per-side charge gives $5.76 for a completed round trip. One MES contract uses a different rate: $0.80 per side, or $1.60 for a round trip. A smaller contract does not mean that every cost is exactly one tenth of its mini counterpart.

Blue Guardian Futures charges transaction costs separately from the account purchase. Its published instrument table labels costs per side, so a completed opening-and-closing trade normally uses both sides in the calculation. Verified code CFP offers up to 45% off account purchases; it does not establish a trading-commission discount. This guide explains how to budget the two costs without mixing them.
Read per-side charges before calculating a round trip
The official Futures instrument guide publishes the following transaction-cost references. Confirm the exact instrument and connection used by your account before applying them to a statement.
| Contract | Published cost per side | One-contract round trip | Five completed one-contract round trips |
|---|---|---|---|
| ES | $2.88 | $5.76 | $28.80 |
| NQ | $2.88 | $5.76 | $28.80 |
| MES | $0.80 | $1.60 | $8.00 |
| MNQ | $0.95 | $1.90 | $9.50 |
These are USD calculations. A round trip means an opening transaction and its closing transaction for the same contract quantity. If you open three contracts and close all three, use three times the one-contract round-trip cost. Partial exits change the sequence of fills; they do not erase the closing-side cost for contracts eventually closed.
Do not multiply a displayed net-profit figure by another fee adjustment without checking whether the platform has already deducted commissions. The useful accounting question is whether the source figure is gross trading profit or net realized profit.
A trading-cost worksheet that avoids double counting
Suppose a trader completes ten one-contract MES round trips and records $100 in gross realized profit before these transaction costs. At the published reference rate, total transaction costs are 10 × $1.60 = $16. Gross profit less those costs is $84. That is a bookkeeping example, not a forecast, payout amount or evidence that the account meets a profit target.
For ten one-contract MNQ round trips at the same hypothetical $100 gross result, the reference charge is $19 and the remainder is $81. The two examples deliberately hold gross profit constant to isolate the fee difference; real contracts have different tick values and market behavior, so equal trading outcomes should not be assumed.
Use a worksheet with the symbol, quantity, completed sides, per-side rate, gross result, charged fees and net result. Reconcile that worksheet to the actual platform statement. If the statement already reports the final net result, keep the worksheet as an explanation rather than deducting the same costs again.

Express evaluation
| Account size | Plan | Regular price | Verified code | Offer rate | Saving at maximum | Discounted price at maximum |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | Express base configuration | $86.00 | CFP | Up to 45%; conditional maximum | $38.70 | $47.30 |
| $50K | Express base configuration | $130.00 | CFP | Up to 45%; conditional maximum | $58.50 | $71.50 |
The conditional maximum price is regular price × 0.55, rounded to cents. Saving is regular price minus the rounded price. This table does not price a reset, an upgraded consistency option or any additional service.
Keep four separate cost categories
The evaluation purchase fee is paid to obtain the selected account. Transaction costs arise as trades execute. Market-data subscriptions concern access to exchange information. Recovery charges concern actions such as a reset. A coupon for the first category should not silently be applied to the other three.
For example, $71.50 is the conditional maximum-discount base price for the listed $50K Express evaluation. Adding a hypothetical $19 of future MNQ transaction costs gives $90.50 in a personal cost worksheet. That sum is not a checkout quote: the account purchase and trading transactions happen at different times, and additional charges may exist.
The Blue Guardian Futures data-package guide covers a different cost category. For recovery charges, see the reset and reactivation explanation. The current CFP offer page retains the broader account comparison and rule caveats.
How to apply CFP without mixing account and trading costs
- Select Futures on the official Blue Guardian website.
- Choose the program, account size, platform and optional settings.
- Record the regular base fee and any separately priced items.
- Enter CFP in the coupon field and apply it.
- Read the accepted discount and final purchase amount; do not assume the maximum applies to every item.
- Keep the order confirmation separately from the later trading statement.
Before paying, make sure the program’s drawdown, consistency and payout rules fit the account you selected. Lower purchase cost does not increase the loss allowance or remove a trading restriction. Trading can lead to account failure and lost fees.
FAQ
Does CFP reduce Blue Guardian Futures trading commissions?
The verified CFP offer concerns account purchases. No commission-discount coverage is established, so this guide keeps trading costs separate.
Is $2.88 the complete ES round-trip cost?
The official instrument table labels $2.88 per side. A one-contract opening-and-closing round trip therefore gives $5.76 using that reference.
Do MES and MNQ have the same listed charge?
No. The current reference lists MES at $0.80 per side and MNQ at $0.95, producing $1.60 and $1.90 one-contract round trips respectively.
Should I deduct these costs again from platform net profit?
Check the statement definition first. If net profit already includes the transaction charges, subtracting them again would double count the cost.
Are the discounted account totals guaranteed checkout quotes?
They are conditional calculations from verified regular base fees at the maximum 45% CFP rate. Confirm the accepted rate, configuration and separate charges in the order summary.
