Goat Funded Trader Rules

Goat Funded Trader is a 1-step / 2-step prop trading firm that offers 5 account sizes ranging from $8,000 to $100,000. Forex prop firm offering both 1-step and 2-step evaluations. Low entry fees, crypto trading included, and profit split scales to 95%. The firm supports MT4, MT5 and gives traders access to forex, indices, commodities, crypto markets. Expert advisors and automated trading bots are allowed, making it suitable for algorithmic traders. Copy trading is not allowed.

The evaluation uses static (floor never moves), which means your drawdown floor is set once at account opening and never moves up. This is the most trader-friendly drawdown type because every dollar of profit adds a genuine cushion above your breach level. If you grow a $100,000 account by $5,000, your floor stays at $90,000, giving you $15,000 of total room.

The 5% daily loss limit acts as a circuit breaker. On the $100,000 account, that means you cannot lose more than $5,000 in a single day. This is calculated from your starting daily balance, which is an important distinction -- only realized losses count, giving more breathing room for open positions. Profit split starts at 75% and scales up to 95%, with payouts processed bi-weekly.

Common mistakes traders make on Goat Funded Trader: Hitting the daily loss limit by overleveraging after a losing streak is extremely common. On the $8,000 account, your daily limit is only $400 -- two bad trades at 2.5% risk each and you are done for the day. Always verify the current rules on the official rules page before starting.

Who Goat Funded Trader is best for: Swing traders and position traders who need to hold through overnight sessions and weekends will appreciate the static drawdown and relaxed holding rules. Forex and CFD traders -- futures are not available. Budget-conscious traders will appreciate the low entry point of $68 for the $8,000 account.

Goat Funded Trader pays out bi-weekly with a profit split starting at 75% and scaling up to 95%. The profit split structure means you keep 75% of all profits on your funded account. As you demonstrate consistent performance, the split increases -- rewarding disciplined traders who stay funded longer.

The scaling from 75% to 95% is Goat Funded Trader's incentive for longevity. Most traders who pass the evaluation but get their accounts terminated within 60 days never see the higher split. Building a sustainable trading approach is more valuable than chasing the profit target aggressively.
