Trading Plans

Compare each plan path, how it progresses, and the key funding and payout terms we have confirmed so far.

Two-stage evaluation path that must be completed before funded access.

Goat Funded Trader offers both evaluation and instant-funded models. Traders can pass an evaluation into a funded relationship, while the Instant Funding GOAT model grants immediate access to a funded account subject to that model's risk rules.
Current live materials market Paid on Demand options, 100 percent profit split upgrades, and reward guarantees. Standard funded payout cadence across current models is bi-weekly every 14 days. Some models cap the first two payouts at 6 percent of initial account size or 10000 USD, whichever is lower, and some on-demand first-reward add-ons pay a 40 percent split after 3 days.
Goat shows clear phase-dependent leverage. Current FAQs indicate evaluation-phase leverage around Forex 1:100, Indices and Commodities 1:20, and Crypto 1:2, with funded-phase reductions to Forex 1:50, Indices and Commodities 1:10, and Crypto 1:2.

Immediate funded-access path that skips a traditional evaluation.

Goat offers multiple structures including 2-Step Standard, 2-Step GOAT Model, 2-Step PRO, GOAT Blitz, and Instant Funding GOAT Model. Drawdown logic, consistency rules, payout caps, and first-payout options differ materially by model, so the funded structure is not one-size-fits-all.

Allowed Trading Instruments
Structured instrument coverage is still being normalized for this firm. For now, use the market badges and the plan and rules notes above as the best guide to what this firm supports.

A clean public restricted-country list did not surface in this pass.

For non-futures firms, this section summarizes challenge fees, commissions, spreads, swaps, activation costs, and other trader-facing cost notes when exact structured fee rows are not yet normalized.
Goat says MT5, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker charge $5 per lot on FX pairs and metals with raw spread, while cryptocurrencies, indices, commodities, and stocks are charged $0 per lot.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Goat Funded Trader restricts EAs that use high-frequency trading or other prohibited practices.
Goat prohibits HFT-style EAs, Gold Arbitrage EA use, and other prohibited automated practices. It also bars off-the-shelf or challenge-passing strategies and reserves discretion around excessively risky trading styles.
Copy Trading
Not allowed

Goat's public help-center search did not surface a trader-to-trader copy-trading allowance page. Official help content does confirm that, after evaluation, a partnered proprietary trading firm may copy a trader's strategy at its own discretion for risk-managed execution, while cross-account hedging and external-firm hedging are explicitly prohibited.

Microscalping Policy
No dedicated microscalping article surfaced in the reviewed official Goat materials; abusive execution is instead governed through the broader prohibited-practices framework.
Bots Policy

Automation is allowed only within Goat's restrictions. EAs using HFT or other prohibited practices are not allowed.

DCA Policy

No explicit DCA or martingale policy surfaced in the current official materials reviewed for this firm.

Allowed Trading Hours
Trading-hour treatment is model-dependent. The Instant Funding GOAT model calculates daily drawdown at 5 PM EST, and payouts are processed on business-day timing rather than weekends or public holidays.
Move to Live Criteria

Goat Funded Trader offers both evaluation and instant-funded models. Traders can pass an evaluation into a funded relationship, while the Instant Funding GOAT model grants immediate access to a funded account subject to that model's risk rules.

Rule Enforcement Notes

Hard breaches close the account immediately. Goat also reserves discretion to require retakes or terminate the trader relationship for prohibited practices or strategies it deems too risky.

Refund Policy

Goat says evaluation purchases are non-refundable once bought. Separately, the evaluation fee becomes refundable only after the trader reaches the fourth payout on the completed account.

Activation Fee Policy

No separate funded-account activation fee surfaced in the reviewed official Goat materials; pricing is expressed through evaluation or instant-funded model purchase fees instead.

VPN Policy
No dedicated VPN or VPS policy surfaced in the reviewed official Goat Funded Trader materials.
Payout Methods

Current live materials market Paid on Demand options, 100 percent profit split upgrades, and reward guarantees. Standard funded payout cadence across current models is bi-weekly every 14 days. Some models cap the first two payouts at 6 percent of initial account size or 10000 USD, whichever is lower, and some on-demand first-reward add-ons pay a 40 percent split after 3 days.
