ThaurusGuru review
ThaurusGuru is a forex and CFD prop firm launched in October 2024 and powered by Thaurus Ltd, a Mauritius investment broker that supplies its platform and data feed. Traders get MetaTrader 5 accounts from $6,000 to $200,000 across forex, indices, metals, energies and crypto. The range is broad: a One Step with a 10% target, either 6% trailing or 5% static, from $37; a Two Step with 8% and 5% targets, a 5% daily limit and a 10% static drawdown, from $39; a tighter Two Step Pro from $32; a Three Step with 6% targets from $23; Pay After You Pass, which costs $8 to start with an activation fee after passing; and Pay As You Go, paid one phase at a time. Funded traders start on an 80% split that scales to 95%, can be paid every 14 days from $100, and get the fee back with the third reward on most plans.
Suits
Disciplined MT5 traders who always use a stop loss and want a low cost static drawdown two or three step with a scaling plan to 95%.
Less suited to
You scalp trades of under two minutes, hold over the weekend, trade news, or aim for very large single days.
Pros
- Low prices: Three Step from $23, Two Step from $39, Pay After You Pass from $8.
- Two Step has a 10% static drawdown and a 5% daily limit.
- Fee refunded with the third reward on most plans.
- Scaling plan to $400,000 with the split rising to 95%.
- Backed by its own Mauritius broker, Thaurus Ltd.
- Payouts from $100 by crypto, bank transfer or local methods.
Cons
- Stop loss required on every trade, and profit from trades under two minutes is removed.
- All positions close if floating loss reaches 2% of the balance.
- Funded profit above $3,000 in one day is deducted.
- First reward after 21 days on most plans.
- No weekend holding when funded, and a 10 minute news window.
- Only 21 Trustpilot reviews so far.
Verdict
ThaurusGuru gives traders plenty of choice at low prices, backed by its own broker. The Two Step is the pick for most: a 10% static drawdown that never trails, a 5% daily limit and 8% and 5% targets, from $39 for $6K or $299 for $50K, with the fee refunded on the third reward. The Three Step is one of the cheapest routes anywhere, at $23 for $6K, and Pay After You Pass lets traders try for $8 and pay the activation fee only once they pass.
The scaling plan is a real draw. Four levels each add about 40% to the account, up to $400,000, and the split rises from 80% to 85%, 90% and 95% along the way. The firm reports more than 22,000 traders, over $1 million paid out and an average processing time of about five hours, with payouts by crypto, bank transfer and local methods.
The funded rules are strict, so read them before buying. Every trade needs a stop loss, profit from trades held under two minutes is removed, all positions close if floating loss reaches 2% of the balance, and profit above $3,000 in a single day is deducted. News trading is closed for 10 minutes either side of high impact events, weekend holding is not allowed when funded, and the first reward comes after 21 days on most plans.
Trustpilot showed 3.7 from 21 reviews in November 2026, a small sample for a firm of its size.
ThaurusGuru suits disciplined MT5 traders who use stop losses, want a cheap static drawdown two or three step, and plan to scale.
