IP Address and Account Access Policy

To maintain a fair trading environment and protect the integrity of our evaluation and funded programs, Goat Funded Trader actively monitors account access and IP address activity across all stages.

All trading accounts must be operated exclusively by the account owner.

Sharing account credentials, allowing third parties to access your account, or using any account management or "pass your challenge" services is strictly prohibited and may result in account breaches and permanent restrictions from our services.

The geographical region of the IP address used to purchase a challenge, as well as the region used to access and trade a funded account, should remain reasonably consistent over time.

Significant or unexplained discrepancies between purchase location, trading location, or repeated regional IP changes may trigger a review by our Risk Team.

We understand that traders may travel or temporarily change location.

If you plan to access or trade your account from a different country or region, we strongly recommend informing our support team in advance to avoid unnecessary account reviews or interruptions.

If unusual IP activity is detected, our Risk Team may contact you and request additional verification, including but not limited to:

• Travel tickets or booking confirmations;

• Passport stamps or other travel documentation;

• Video verification or other reasonable proof of location.

Failure to provide sufficient evidence that the account has been operated solely by the account owner may result in account restrictions, account breaches, or permanent suspension from our services.

VPN Usage
Yes, the use of a VPN is allowed. However, if our Risk Team detects unusual or inconsistent geographical login patterns, we reserve the right to request proof of the VPN service used to verify the legitimacy of the activity.
​
​VPS Usage
For all accounts purchased from August 12, 2026 onwards, the use of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) is strictly prohibited on the following account types:
​
• One Step
• Two Step
• Instant Premium
​
The use of a VPS remains permitted on:
​
• Instant GOAT
• Instant Hero
​
​Accounts purchased before August 12, 2026 are not affected by this new VPS restriction.

Repeated unexplained IP changes, simultaneous access from multiple locations, shared devices, or any activity suggesting that an account is not being operated independently may lead to a full investigation by our Risk Team.

Any violation of this policy may result in account breaches, payout rejection, suspension of services, or permanent exclusion from Goat Funded Trader.
