Goat Funded Trader rules, with instant-model trip-ups first. Use the model picker to separate Instant GOAT, Goat $1, and the general consistency-rule article before you compare any numbers.
Model Picker
Choose the checked model. The result highlights official rule values and reward blockers.
What can trip you up
Rows To Inspect First
The labels explain why each row is surfaced. They are not a recommendation to buy or avoid any model.
Consistency blocks rewards
Both checked instant examples use a 15% concentration rule. The general article says model percentages can vary.
Floating loss is separate
The checked instant model source lists a 2% floating loss rule in addition to daily and overall trailing drawdown.
Goat $1 has caps
The checked Goat $1 source lists expiry, minimum withdrawal, lifetime withdrawal cap, and one-account-per-user limits.

| Instant GOAT reward gate 5 valid trading days | The Instant GOAT source says traders must complete at least 5 trading days before requesting a reward.

| Consistency rule 15% example | The checked Instant GOAT and Goat $1 sources use a 15% consistency rule.

| Partial trade PNL final close day | The general consistency article says if a position is closed in partials, full PNL counts on the day the entire position is fully closed. | Partial closes can concentrate PNL into one consistency day.
