Verdict for EA traders

Blue Guardian is a solid choice for conservative EA traders. Tight drawdown rules filter out aggressive strategies, and the unlimited time limit removes pressure during slow periods. Best for: low-frequency swing EAs and multi-strategy portfolios with controlled intraday risk.
