Challenges & pricing

Targets & limits by challenge

Challenge	Profit target	Daily drawdown	Max drawdown
2-Step Standard 2-Step	8% / 5%	4%	6%

Pricing by account size

“Cost per $1K” is the evaluation fee divided by buying power — the only fair way to compare challenge prices across different account sizes.

The clauses that decide whether you keep the account. Quoted from Goat Funded Trader's own terms — check the current version before you trade.

7 rules here break the account

Breaking one of these fails the evaluation or voids a payout outright.

General

The 100% split is a paid add-on, not the default
Watch out

The base account pays 80%. Reaching 100% means buying the upgrade at checkout, so compare the total cost against firms that include a higher split as standard.

Risk & drawdown

Static drawdown of 6%
Breaks the account

Loss limit is fixed against the starting balance for the whole evaluation. Breaching it ends the account immediately, whether or not the position later recovers.
Daily loss limit of 4%
Breaks the account

Measured from the balance at the daily reset. Floating losses on open positions count toward it the moment they occur, not when the trade is closed.

Trading style

News trading is permitted

You may hold through high-impact releases. Spreads widen and slippage counts toward your loss limits, so the risk is yours rather than the rule's.
Expert advisors are allowed

Automated strategies may be used, provided they do not exploit latency, pricing errors or the demo feed.
Positions may be held over the weekend

Weekend gaps count toward your drawdown in full. Swap charges apply from Wednesday.

Instruments

Crypto trades at reduced leverage of 1:2

Crypto is available outside market hours, but at a fraction of the leverage offered on FX and it is excluded from any news-trading exemption.
Maximum leverage of 1:100

This is the headline figure and applies to FX. Indices, commodities and crypto are each capped lower — see the instruments table for the class you trade.

Payouts

Funded accounts cap credited profit at $3,000 a day
Watch out

An exceptional day is not lost, but it is credited across the payout cycle rather than in one line. Worth knowing before you size a position for a news event.
Payouts every 14 days

The cycle runs from your last approved request, not from the calendar month. A request made early resets the clock rather than bringing the next one forward.
First payout after 14 days
Watch out

Counted from the day the funded account is issued. Completed KYC is required before the first request is released.
A rule breach voids the payout attached to it
Breaks the account

Requests are reviewed against the trading rules before release. A confirmed breach voids that payout, and repeat breaches close the account.

Account management

One funded account per trader
Breaks the account

Accounts linked by identity documents, payment method, IP address or trading pattern are treated as one. Undisclosed duplicates are closed and their profit forfeited.
The account may not be shared or managed by anyone else
Breaks the account

You must trade the account yourself. Handing credentials to a third party, including an account manager, ends the arrangement.

Prohibited practices

High-frequency and latency arbitrage are prohibited
Breaks the account

Strategies that depend on execution speed, price-feed delay or tick scalping are treated as exploiting the platform rather than trading it.
Copy trading between accounts is not allowed
Breaks the account

Mirroring trades across accounts, your own included, is grounds for closure of every linked account.
Martingale and grid strategies are prohibited
Watch out

Doubling into a losing position, or layering a grid without a defined stop, counts as a prohibited risk strategy.

Trust breakdown

How the score in the panel above is arrived at.

Rating 100/100 · 35% of the score
Volume 13/100 · 15% of the score
Payouts 25/100 · 20% of the score
Checks 60/100 · 15% of the score
Conduct 100/100 · 15% of the score

Rating is the star average. Volume is a confidence curve on how many reviews there are — it saturates, so review 300 counts for far less than review 3. Payouts counts approved payout proofs, the hardest evidence available. Checks counts platform-side disclosures. Conduct starts full and is reduced by upheld complaints.

Genuinely fair drawdown rules

Coming up on three months with this one. Spreads on EURUSD sat about where they said they would, even into the cash open. No minimum trading days, so the first phase took six days instead of a month of waiting. I would buy another account here.

Responsive live chat
Good spreads on gold

About the firm

In their own words

The firm's own description of itself.

Goat Funded Trader launched in May 2023 and competes almost entirely on price and choice. It runs seven programme types — 1-step, three flavours of 2-step, 3-step, instant funding and a pay-later model — and a $5,000 evaluation starts at $36. The drawdown model is static, which is the trader-friendly choice, but the limits themselves are tight: 4% daily and 6% overall on the standard path, against FTMO's 5% and 10%. A fixed floor at 6% is not obviously better than a trailing one at 10%, and which suits you depends entirely on how much you drawdown before you find your footing. The 80% base split rises to 100% through paid add-ons, which is worth reading carefully — a 100% split advertised on the front page is usually a 100% split you have paid extra for.

FAQ

Not automatically. Static means the floor never moves, which protects your gains. But 6% of the starting balance is a smaller absolute buffer than 10%, so if you tend to drawdown early before finding your rhythm, the wider trailing limit may actually survive longer.

On funded accounts, profit credited in a single day is capped at $3,000 for payout purposes. It does not close your trades — it spreads an exceptional day across the payout cycle.

No, and the base terms are already competitive. The add-ons raise the split toward 100% and loosen some limits, but they are a real cost — compare the total against a firm whose headline terms already include what you are buying.
