At Goat Funded Trader, we maintain a maximum daily drawdown of 4% for One Step Evaluations.
The daily drawdown is calculated based on the higher of either your Balance or Equity at 5 pm EST.
​
Example (4%): If your Daily Starting Balance (i.e., the previous day’s balance at 5 PM EST) was $100,000, your simulated account would violate the daily drawdown limit if your equity reached $96,000 during the day.
​
​
Even if you are profitably trading throughout the day and your simulated account balance increases, your daily drawdown will not change until 5 PM EST. This rule applies to evaluations of both evaluation types Classic and No Time Limit and simulated funded accounts.
