What is Goat Funded Trader refund policy?
Last verified: 2026-03-21 | Official rules
Goat Funded Trader refunds the challenge fee with your first profit payout once you reach the funded stage. This is standard across most prop firms.
How the refund works:
- -Pay the challenge fee upfront ($68-$438)
- -Pass the 1-step / 2-step evaluation
- -Get funded and trade profitably
- -Your first payout includes the original challenge fee as a refund
Fees by account size:
- -$8,000: $68 (refunded with first payout)
- -$15,000: $98 (refunded with first payout)
- -$25,000: $158 (refunded with first payout)
- -$50,000: $258 (refunded with first payout)
- -$100,000: $438 (refunded with first payout)
Important: If you fail the challenge (hit max drawdown, violate daily loss limit, or break trading rules), the fee is not refunded. You would need to purchase a new evaluation to try again.
Before paying, make sure you understand:
- -The evaluation has 2 phase(s) to pass
- -Max drawdown is 10% (static (floor never moves))
- -Daily loss limit is 5%
- -Profit target is 10%
