Section 8 — Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The FAQ section helps answer the most common questions traders have about the Guru Club Traders program. This page provides transparency about the evaluation process, trading rules, and funded trader program.
General Questions
What is Guru Club Traders?
Guru Club Traders is a proprietary trading firm that provides traders with the opportunity to demonstrate their trading ability through an evaluation process. Traders who meet the program requirements may qualify to receive access to firm capital and participate in a profit-sharing model.
How does the evaluation process work?
The program consists of three stages:
- Choose an evaluation account size
- Demonstrate consistent profitability while following risk management rules
- Qualify for a funded trader account after successfully completing the evaluation
How long does the evaluation take?
There is no maximum time limit to complete the evaluation. However, traders must complete a minimum number of trading days before qualifying to pass.
This ensures traders demonstrate consistency rather than passing the evaluation in a single day.
Trading Questions
What markets can I trade?
Traders can trade approved futures markets, including highly liquid instruments such as:
• E-mini S&P 500
• NASDAQ futures
• Crude Oil
• Gold
Additional instruments may be added in the future depending on platform availability.
What trading platforms are supported?
Guru Club Traders supports professional trading platforms such as:
• Tradovate
• NinjaTrader
These platforms provide advanced charting, order execution, and performance analytics tools.
Is automated trading allowed?
Certain automated strategies may be permitted if they comply with all risk management rules and platform policies.
However, strategies designed to exploit system delays, platform errors, or latency advantages are strictly prohibited.
Evaluation Rules
What happens if I break a rule?
If a trader violates any risk management rule — such as exceeding the maximum drawdown or daily loss limit — the evaluation account will be considered failed.
Traders may start a new evaluation if they wish to attempt the program again.
What is the consistency rule?
Guru Club Traders uses a 35% consistency rule.
No single trading day may represent more than 35% of total profits during the evaluation period.
This rule ensures traders demonstrate consistent performance rather than relying on a single large trade.
What is the minimum number of trading days?
Traders must trade for at least 5 trading days before completing the evaluation.
This helps confirm that trading performance is consistent.
Funded Trader Questions
What happens after I pass the evaluation?
Traders who successfully complete the evaluation may qualify for a funded trader account.
Funded traders receive access to firm capital and may begin generating profits under the program’s profit-sharing structure.
How do payouts work?
Funded traders may request payouts once they meet the minimum profit and account requirements while remaining within the trading rules.
Payout requests are reviewed to ensure compliance with the program guidelines.
What profit split do traders receive?
Guru Club Traders offers a competitive profit-sharing structure.
Funded traders may receive up to 80% of the profits they generate.
Can funded traders receive larger accounts?
Yes. Traders who demonstrate consistent performance and strong risk management may qualify for larger capital allocations through the firm’s scaling program.
