Goat Funded Trader is a simulation-based forex/CFD prop firm offering 1-, 2-, and 3-step challenges plus instant funding (Goat and PRO models). Payouts are bi-weekly on most tracks (instant funding uses a 10-day “triple payday” cycle), backed by a “paid within 72 hours or $250” guarantee; profit splits start at 80% and can be upgraded to 100% on some plans. Supported platforms are TradeLocker, Match-Trader, and MT5.
- Multiple funding paths including One-Step, Two-Step (Standard/Goat/Pro), Three-Step, Instant Funding (Standard/Goat/Pro), plus Goat Blitz and $1 models.
- Platform choice: MT5, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader (MT5 not available to U.S. users).
- Broad instruments: FX pairs, CFD indices, metals, commodities, stocks, and crypto.
- Fast processing: payouts typically processed within 2 business days; on-demand first reward option on certain models.
- Clear, published rules/targets (e.g., 1-Step 10% target; 2-Step 8%/6%; 3-Step 6% target; typical 4% daily loss and 8–10% max loss).
- Frequent promos and loyalty benefits (e.g., sitewide codes; Goat Fidelity Program with 50% discount after 4 purchases, free challenge at 9).
- Multiple payout rails: Rise (bank transfer), Crypto, and Skrill; $100 minimum.
- “Unlimited” trading period to pass (no fixed time limits shown on plan tables).
- No true “daily payout” – standard cadence is bi-weekly/30-day/10-day depending on model; processing is fast but not same-day.
- Initial withdrawal caps and daily profit limits on funded accounts (e.g., first two rewards capped at 6% of initial balance; daily profit limit $3,000).
- Strict prohibited-practices/EA rules; violations can void accounts/fees.
- Long restricted-country list (e.g., Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, etc.).
- Mixed legal footprint (Saint Lucia operating company; Hong Kong trade name) and “no refunds” in T&Cs vs. later refund-on-payout marketing – can be confusing.
- MT5 unavailable to U.S. clients.
Goat Funded Trader Review
Goat Funded Trader is a feature-rich, promo-heavy prop with lots of ways to get funded. You can pick One-Step, Two-Step (Standard/Goat/Pro), Three-Step, or Instant Funding (incl. Goat/Pro), plus extras like Goat Blitz and $1 models-all with no fixed time limit to pass. Platforms cover MT5, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader (MT5 not in the U.S.), and instruments span FX, indices, metals, commodities, stocks, and crypto. Rules and targets are plainly tabled (e.g., 1-Step 10%; 2-Step 8%/6%; 3-Step 6%; typical 4% daily and 8–10% max loss). Payouts are quick-typically within 2 business days-with an on-demand first reward on some models, and rails include Rise (bank), crypto, and Skrill ($100 min). Frequent sitewide promos and the Goat Fidelity Program sweeten repeat buys (e.g., 50% off after four purchases; free challenge at nine).
Trade-offs: not a true “daily payout” shop-cycles are bi-weekly/10–30 days by plan, so same-day cash isn’t the norm. Early withdrawals and daily profit limits (e.g., first two rewards capped at 6% of starting balance; ~$3,000/day) can crimp aggressive strategies. EA/prohibited-practice rules are strict, the restricted-country list is long, and the legal footprint (Saint Lucia ops, Hong Kong trade name) plus no-refund T&Cs vs refund-on-payout marketing can be confusing. MT5 is unavailable for U.S. clients. Bottom line: strong if you want lots of model choice, clear targets, fast processing, and multiple payout rails-less ideal if you need true daily payouts, lax limits, or single-region clarity.
