How GoatFunded Futures Works

The displayed account balance is simulated or notional unless the trader has a signed live brokerage agreement. Passing an evaluation normally creates a simulated funded account first; live progression can require additional payouts, a performance review or a separate milestone.
Evaluation and Account Rules
EOD uses a 6% target, EOD trailing drawdown, no evaluation DLL, 50% evaluation consistency and 30% funded consistency. Flex removes the funded consistency and daily loss limit. 1-Day Pass has no evaluation consistency but 35% funded consistency. Instant Classic uses intraday trailing drawdown and 20% consistency.
| Item | Current Summary |
|---|---|
| Profit Target | 6% on evaluation plans; 7% first-payout target on Instant Classic |
| Maximum Drawdown | 3% to 5% depending on size and plan |
| Daily Loss Control | None on Flex; soft funded limits on EOD and 1-Day Pass; 3% on Instant Classic |
| Minimum Trading Days | 0 |
Contract limits, resets, activation fees, commissions and market-data charges vary by size and plan. Traders should follow the rule set attached to the purchased account.
Drawdown Rules
3% to 5% depending on size and plan. None on Flex; soft funded limits on EOD and 1-Day Pass; 3% on Instant Classic. A payout can reduce the remaining cushion, so the post-withdrawal balance must stay above the required threshold.
Funded Account and Payout Rules
EOD pays after seven winning days; 1-Day Pass and Flex after five. EOD and Flex pay 80% by default with an optional 90% add-on and allow 50% of profit per request. 1-Day Pass pays 90%. Instant Classic pays 100% of the first $10,000 then 90%, requires seven winning days and ten calendar days for the first request. Minimum payout is $500 and requests use twice-monthly windows.
Trader share: 80% EOD/Flex or 90% with add-on; 90% 1-Day Pass; Instant first $10K 100% then 90%.
Request timing: 5 or 7 winning days with twice-monthly request windows.
Consistency generally means the largest profitable day cannot exceed the specified share of total cycle profit. When the rule is soft, an oversized day delays eligibility rather than closing the account.
Trading Conditions
News trading is generally permitted, subject to the exact plan's restricted windows and execution risk. Overnight and weekend holding must be confirmed on the exact program.
Prohibited behavior includes account sharing, exploiting delayed data or simulated fills, coordinated hedging, exceeding position limits and any strategy the firm determines cannot be replicated in real futures markets.
