Simulated results

Three trader profiles, 10,000 simulated evaluations each against Goat Funded Trader's exact rules. Pass rate is the eval only. Payout is conditional on passing. Joint withdrawal is the probability of reaching a first payout end-to-end. P&L is expected value over 50 attempted challenges at the mid-tier account.

Rules explained

How Goat Funded Trader's drawdown works

Goat Funded Trader uses a static drawdown of 10% of the starting balance. Static drawdown is the friendliest structure — the floor doesn't move as you profit. See trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanics.

How the daily loss limit is calculated

Goat Funded Trader caps intraday drawdown at 5% of the account. It's evaluated end-of-day on realised P&L, and a single losing session over the cap ends the challenge — not just the day.

Consistency rule

Goat Funded Trader has no consistency rule on the standard evaluation. See the consistency rule explained for the full mechanics and how it changes your real pass rate.

Is Goat Funded Trader worth it?

Goat runs aggressive promo pricing and a mid-generous rule set. One-phase Instant options are the marketing hook but come with tighter drawdown. Two-phase Standard is closer to FTMO. Payout track record is developing.

Passing is a function of edge, variance, and how the ruleset punishes lumpy P&L — not win rate in isolation.
