Step 1 (Evaluation)
To pass Step 1, you must:
- Achieve a 10% profit target.
- Complete at least 3 profitable days.
- Follow all trading rules and loss limits. After passing Step 1, your entire evaluation is reviewed. If successful, you become a Funded GOAT Trader.
Step 2 (Funded)
- Complete at least 4 profitable days each with a minimum of 0.5% to be eligible for a Payout (Resets after each payout)
- Follow all trading rules and loss limits including goat guard (What Is Goat Guard).
What Is A Minimum Profitable Day?
- A minimum profitable day is a day on which you close at least one position and your profit for that day is at least 0.5% of the initial account balance, net of fees and commissions.
Account Violations (Hard Breach)
Violation of these rules results in immediate account closure.
1. Daily Drawdown Limit
How is it calculated?
- At 5:00 PM EST, we check the higher value between the Account Balance or Account Equity.
- Subtract 3% of that value from that value to set the Daily Drawdown Threshold for the next trading day.
Optional 2% Daily Drawdown: At checkout, the Rules section has a Daily loss limit toggle. Choose 2% to lower the price of the challenge. It is available on every platform. If you choose it, the limit is 2% in both Step 1 and the funded stage, and it is calculated the same way. You can't change it after purchase.
Example: if the higher of your balance or equity at the 5:00 PM EST reset is $100,000, your threshold for the day is $100,000 - $2,000 = $98,000.
2. Maximum Loss Limit (Hard Breach) — 6% (Static)
This is your Absolute Floor. Your account equity or balance must never drop below 94% of your starting capital.
How is it calculated?
Maximum Loss = Initial Account Size − 6%
