Our mentors are actual traders with real results. No theory. No fluff. Just raw, proven methods built for performance.

As active traders (who serve as trading mentors), we prefer students who are highly disciplined with a strong emotional resolve. Please answer these two important questions below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is a trading mentor necessary?

We know so. A pilot doesn't learn to fly a plane responsibly and safely in some seminar or by reading a book. A good mentor gives you the map they've already tested, saving you from painful trial and error. It's about efficiency. You drastically quicken your learning curve racing towards consistent results. You can learn trading through repeated market losses (many traders do). Or, you can leverage a mentor’s practical experience and avoid the costly pitfalls altogether. Market tuition can be quite expensive.

A trading mentor is optional, like insurance—but often far more valuable. A mentor can't erase every risk, but he/she might significantly reduce exposure to costly errors and position you toward higher-probability trades. It's practical risk management for anyone serious about protecting and growing their capital--and doing so responsibly. In short, trading without a mentor is reckless in our experienced opinion.

What exactly does the mentorship include?

Our mentorship provides direct access to real traders who actively manage significant capital daily. You’ll receive structured training, tailored strategy development, and ongoing support until your tuition is recouped through profitable trading. You receive a 201 Course trading tutorials on how to trade, 3-days of live training in the 301 Mentorship, a trading workbook, TradeLog software to log and share your trades, and you get FREE retakes. If you take the 401 Master Trader, which is two days of live training, and highly recommended, you'll also receive the trading algorithms FREE.

Do I need previous trading experience for the mentorship?

No prior experience is needed. We methodically build your skills from foundational concepts through advanced, practical trading strategies, customized to your existing knowledge level. Our training systematically progresses you from fundamental principles to advanced trading strategies, customized to your level and goals. This means you can be a beginner and still thrive in the mentoring program. Those who have trading experience will be able to add that experience to our training to fill in the gaps and become highly optimize to trade with confidence in the live markets!

How quickly can I realistically expect results?

Students typically see measurable improvements within weeks of starting the Grok mentorship. Results depend largely on your commitment and consistency, but our structured approach shortens your path to profitable trading. Mentorship significantly shortens the learning curve. Furthermore, if you have strong emotional resolve--meaning you're not overly excitable or emotionally moved, trading might be better suited for you.

What sets Grok Trade apart from other mentorship programs?

Grok Trade mentors are real traders—not just educators—managing substantial capital daily. We offer FREE retakes. Students LOVE this. Grok mentors focus exclusively on proven strategies relevant to current market conditions, offering genuine real-time insights. Unlike theory-based courses, Grok Trade ensures practical, real-world techniques that aim for yield positive outcomes. Our approach is data-driven, structured, and transparent.

Can I speak directly with previous mentorship students?

Yes. We recommend it. We're transparent and openly connect prospective students with mentorship graduates, who we call GrokGrads. This lets you independently verify experiences, outcomes, and the practical effectiveness of our methods. Ask to be connected when you have your discovery meeting.

Do mentors actively trade or just teach?

YES! This is one of the biggest reasons traders come to us for their trading education. Grok Trade mentors actively trades a significant amount of money in the live markets every day. This alone should tell you quite a bit about our quality. Few other organizations can tout the same.

How much capital do I need to get started effectively?

Ideally, you should start with about $3,000 or more to fully leverage our risk management techniques. $5,000 or more is better. However, the skills we teach are scalable, adaptable, and beneficial regardless of your starting capital and we do not require you to have any set amount to be traded in the market.

What kind of ongoing support is provided after mentorship ends?

What students appreciate the most are free retakes for life. Support continues until you've fully recovered your mentorship tuition through trading gains. Frankly, we never leave your side. We want our students to develop faster and be more successful than the students from the other big-box education firms. For this reason, we never cease to support our students. In short, after the formal mentorship concludes, you still retain full access to mentors, the active trader community, and continuous updates to training resources via mentorship retakes, which are FREE--I think we mentioned this a time or two already. :).

Does your mentorship program require specific software or platforms?

No specialized software is required. Our techniques work universally across any trading platform equipped with basic charting and trading capabilities, allowing you flexibility in choosing tools that best suit you. However, the mentors and most of the Grok Grads use TradingView for charting and algorithmic trading.

Will your trading methods work if I have limited time available each day?

Absolutely. Our methods are specifically adaptable to your schedule. If you have limited time, we focus your training on swing trading methods that require just 30-60 minutes of daily analysis. If you are a day trader, you will likely spend more time in front of the markets trading (2-3 hours daily).

Do you offer a satisfaction or performance guarantee?

Our mentorship comes with the commitment that we’ll continue providing support and guidance until you earn back your tuition through profitable trading results—ensuring our goals remain aligned with yours.

Are there flexible payment or financing options for mentorship tuition?

Yes, we provide flexible payment plans. Although our tuition fees are such that the majority of students are able to pay in full saving on some finance charges, we do offer payments plans. During the discovery call, we’ll determine which education package might be best for you and we'll then detail how you can structure tuition payments comfortably to suit your financial situation.

Is there a community or trading group included with mentorship?

Yes, mentorship grants you access to our active, ego-free trading community where professional mentors and students regularly share insights, setups, and market discussions, facilitating collective growth. We have a day trading chat room for GrokGrads, Discord channel, and an exclusive GrokGrad Facebook Group. becoming a GrokGrad opens up a lot of community doors to you. And what's even better is that all the traders have been taught by the same mentors so all traders are speaking the same (trading) language.

Are the trading strategies you teach adaptable to different market conditions?

Yes. Our methods are specifically crafted to perform well across all market environments, including volatility, uptrends, downtrends, and sideways ranges, offering adaptability and robustness for any scenario. And our strategies work on all timeframes and on anything with a chart (options, futures, crypto, currencies, etc.)

What's the next step, if I'm interested in moving forward after the discovery call?

Following your discovery call, the next step is straightforward: You’ll select the mentorship program best aligned with your goals, make your tuition payment, sign the education agreement, and then receive immediate access to the 201 Course trading tutorials which will perfectly prepare you for the 301 Mentorship.

WHAT'S THE TUITION FEE FOR MENTORING?

First, you should know what our competitors charge. For example, Life Surge charges ~$37,000 for less than what we offer--such as free retakes. Other big-box educators are between ~$25,000-$30,000 and higher. Their instructors may or may not be real traders. None of them offer FREE retakes as we do. At Grok Trade think thousands-- NOT tens of thousands! Huge value with Grok! Our mentorship fees vary based on the training level and personal guidance you choose. After we discuss your trading goals during the discovery call, we'll provide clear pricing tailored specifically to your needs—no hidden costs or surprises.

WHY A TRADING MENTOR IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT:

PRINCIPLE IN LIFE: You can't learn to ride a bike watching tutorials. Most successful traders or professionals in any field all have a prominent mentor/coach/instructor in their life. There is no substitute.
EXPERT GUIDANCE: You wouldn't fly an airplane without a flight instructor's guidance, right? In the same way, you shouldn't trade without the guidance of a knowledgeable mentor.
EFFECIENCY: Learn how to trade correctly the first time. A trading mentor is your shortcut through the learning curve. Let them tell you how it's done so you save thousands on "market tuition" trying to figure it out yourself.
SIMPLE: Quit buying trading books, taking webinars/classes, and trying new indicators. All this data jumbled together is confusing and makes trading difficult. A trading mentor cuts out all the meaningless information, assimilates, and streamlines all the data for you.
COMMON THREAD: Most full-time traders all have a common thread--- they all have had trading mentors.

TAKE THIS ASSESSMENT NOW

Grok Trade is the real deal in the investing education arena. It's a company where everyone gets to know one another, and people care about your investing and trading. I've taken 301 and have subsequently taken 301 review classes again. Now, I'm prepped and ready for 401. Grok was the best investing decision I ever made because they teach and work with you while you apply these skills. This isn't a "fire and forget" company where you pay your money and that's it. It's more of an investing family.
