For Traders vs Blueberry Funded — the honest comparison
Blueberry Funded (2024) is the youngest firm in this series, backed by the Blueberry Markets broker brand, with very cheap entries (from $30) and no consistency rules. The fine print does the gatekeeping instead: a flat 1.5% maximum risk per trade idea on funded accounts where exceeding it closes the account instantly, a ±2-minute news ban in both phases, 1:30 leverage, and 14-day payout cycles unless you buy a faster add-on. For Traders (Dubai, 2023) prices its 2-step $100K lower, asks a lower Phase 2 target, and backs every payout with a 48-hour guarantee.

The facts, side by side
| Fact | For Traders | Blueberry Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Founded / HQ | 2023 · Dubai (FT Trading Ltd.) + office in Prague | 2024 · Vanuatu entity, backed by broker Blueberry Markets; notably restricted in Australia and the US |
| Community rating | 4.5/5 · 263 reviews on Prop Firm Match | 4.1/5 · 607 reviews on Prop Firm Match, currently flagged “Under review” there; Trustpilot rating currently unavailable |
| Cheapest entry | $9 (Pay After Pass) · challenges from $17 | $30 ($2.5K Prime) |
| 2-step $100K | Classic — $434 · targets 8% → 5% · daily −4% / max −8% · forex leverage up to 1:100 | Prime — $650 list · targets 8% → 6% · daily −4% / max −10% · leverage 1:30 |
| Funded-account risk rule | Limits are the plan's stated drawdowns — nothing else | Flat 1.5% maximum risk per “trade idea” — exceeding it is a hard breach with instant account closure (re-entries within 10 minutes count as the same idea) |
| News trading | Evaluation unrestricted; funded forex restricts positions around high-impact news; crypto unrestricted 24/7 | No NEW positions ±2 minutes around high-impact news — in evaluation AND funded phases, on all programs |
| Payouts | 48-hour guarantee on every payout, min $100 — miss the window and the reward is 100% yours | Every 14 days, min $100, 5 active trading days per cycle; 7-day or on-demand cycles are paid add-ons |
| Instant funding | Instant from $69, up to $100K, weekend holding allowed | Instant Lite ($100K ≈ $850 list): 2% daily, 4% trailing-lock; Elite: no daily limit, 10% trailing-lock; both 80% split, 1:30, no scaling eligibility |
| Markets | Forex & CFDs + 70+ crypto coins 24/7 (leverage up to 1:20) + futures on For Traders X | FX, metals, indices, crypto CFDs (1:2), synthetic indices — no futures, no stocks |
| Scaling | Up to $300K for every trader from day one | +25% every 3 months (needs 10% profit + 4 payouts per cycle) to a $2M ceiling; instant accounts excluded |
| Consistency rules | Per-plan, stated upfront in the price table | None by name — their differentiator; the 1.5% risk-per-idea rule is the de-facto gate instead |
Pick your scenario
“I want a 2-step $100K challenge”
Classic $100K — $434 · 8% → 5% · daily −4% / max −8% · forex leverage up to 1:100
Prime $100K — $650 list · 8% → 6% · daily −4% / max −10% · leverage capped at 1:30
For Traders is cheaper, asks 5% in Phase 2 where Prime asks 6%, and gives you three times the leverage. Prime counters with a wider max drawdown (10% vs 8%). On this flagship matchup the numbers lean clearly one way.
“What happens after I pass?”
Your Master Account keeps the plan's stated drawdowns — no additional per-trade risk rule, and payouts carry the 48-hour guarantee
Funded accounts add the 1.5% risk-per-trade-idea rule — a single position sized past 1.5% risk is an instant breach — plus the ±2-minute news ban and the 14-day payout cycle
This is the row that decides the comparison for most traders: their funded rulebook adds a hard tripwire that doesn't exist in the evaluation, ours doesn't change after you pass.
“I don't want an evaluation at all”
Instant Funding from $69 up to $100K — weekend holding allowed
Instant Lite at $100K lists around $850 with a 2% daily limit and 4% trailing-lock drawdown; Elite drops the daily limit for a 10% trailing-lock; neither is eligible for scaling
Compare the drawdown math before the price: a 4% trailing lock at 2% daily is one of the tightest instant configurations on the market.
“I trade futures or crypto”
Exchange-listed futures on For Traders X + 70+ crypto coins 24/7 with leverage up to 1:20
No futures; crypto as CFDs at 1:2 leverage; synthetic indices as a distinctive extra
Futures rule Blueberry out; crypto at 1:2 vs 1:20 is a tenfold leverage gap. Their synthetics are the one market we don't cover.

For Traders vs Blueberry Funded — FAQ
On the flagship numbers, yes: cheaper 2-step $100K ($434 vs $650), lower Phase 2 target (5% vs 6%), 1:100 vs 1:30 leverage, a 48-hour payout guarantee vs 14-day cycles, and no 1.5% per-trade-idea breach rule on funded accounts. Blueberry counters with the $30 entry, the Blueberry Markets broker backing and synthetic indices.
On funded accounts, risking more than a flat 1.5% of the account on any single trade idea is a hard breach — the account closes instantly, and positions re-opened in the same direction within 10 minutes of a losing close count as the same idea. It applies on top of the normal drawdown limits and replaces the consistency rules the firm advertises not having.
At the smallest size Blueberry wins ($30 for $2.5K). At the flagship 2-step $100K, For Traders is cheaper ($434 vs $650 list) with a lower Phase 2 target — and Pay After Pass ($9) remains the cheapest $100K-class start anywhere.
Blueberry pays every 14 days (min $100, 5 active days per cycle) and sells 7-day or on-demand cycles as paid add-ons. For Traders processes every payout within a guaranteed 48 hours (min $100), with cadence per plan — and on-demand included on selected plans, not sold separately.
