What is the Minimum Number of Trading Days at Funded Guru?
The short answer: the 2-Step Challenge requires a minimum of 4 trading days per phase. Instant Funding requires a minimum of 5 profitable trading days per reward cycle before a payout can be requested.
2-Step Challenge
A minimum of 4 trading days must be completed in both Phase 1 and Phase 2. A trading day counts as any day where at least one trade is placed and closed. There is no maximum – you can take as long as you need, subject to the 30-day inactivity rule.
The absolute fastest path to funding is 8 trading days – 4 per phase. In practice most traders take longer, and there's no benefit to rushing. The rules reward discipline, not speed.
Instant Funding
A minimum of 5 profitable trading days per reward cycle is required before a payout request can be submitted. A profitable trading day is any day that closes with a net positive result of 0.2% or more of the account balance.
You can't hit your profit target in 2 days and immediately withdraw – you need at least 4 separate days where your closed P&L for that day was positive (≥0.2% of account balance) before the payout option becomes available.
What resets the count?
Each reward cycle. Once a payout is processed and your balance is updated, the day count starts fresh.
Is there a maximum?
No. No deadline or expiry on either program. The only time-based restriction is the 30-day inactivity rule – at least one trade must be placed every 30 days or the account is closed.
