- 2 Step GOAT: 8% then 6% targets; 4% daily; 10% static max loss. 2 Step Standard: 10% then 5% targets; 5% daily; 10% static. Min 3 valid trading days per phase.
- Instant GOAT / HERO / Premium: no evaluation; 3% daily loss; 6% / 5% / 6% trailing drawdown that follows equity and resets after each payout; floating loss of 2% / 1% / 1% of balance is a hard breach.
- A valid trading day needs at least 0.5% profit of the initial balance; trading days start at 5 PM EST.
- No time limit on evaluations; accounts are breached after 30 days with no trades.
- Goat Guard on funded evaluation accounts: first time combined floating loss hits 2% of initial balance the split drops to 50%; a second trigger breaches the account.
- News trading allowed, but profit from trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of red-folder news is capped at 1% of the initial balance.
- Weekend holding allowed; funded profits from trades opened in the last 3 hours on Friday and closed in the first 3 hours on Monday are removed.
- Funded profits from trades held under 2 minutes are removed at payout (losses still count).
- EAs allowed if not HFT, gold-arbitrage or third-party pass-the-challenge tools; VPS banned on One Step, Two Step and Instant Premium accounts bought from 12 Aug 2026.
- Hedging is banned (within one account, across accounts, and against other firms); copy trading and signal services are banned except copying between your own funded accounts.
- Using more than 80% of available margin on one idea counts as all-or-nothing trading; the firm may impose a 1%-per-idea risk limit on traders it views as over-risking.
- Scaling plan: after 2-6 months and 4-15 payouts, capital increases by 15-50%, split rises to 90-95% and drawdown limits widen by 1-4 points.
- Max simulated capital $400,000 per trader.
