RiseworksAbout GOAT Funded Futures
GOAT Funded Futures is the futures arm of GOAT Funded Trader, run from Hong Kong under CEO Edoardo Dalla Torre since November 2024. Nine platforms are supported and payouts settle on-chain through Riseworks, which is why this firm appears in the live tracker above.
Six programs and twenty accounts, $25,000 to $150,000. EOD, Flex, 1-Day Pass and GOAT Daily are evaluations; Instant Classic and Instant Lite fund you from purchase. Nothing charges an activation fee, no program has a deadline, and allocation caps at $750,000.
The split is not uniform, which the pricing page obscures. EOD and Flex ship at 80% and reach 90% only if you buy the add-on; the same add-on is offered on 1-Day Pass. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite pay 90% outright, and Instant Classic pays 100% of your first $10,000 before settling at 90/10.
Four of the six change when you pass, and mostly against you. EOD tightens consistency from 50% to 30% and adds a daily drawdown it did not have. 1-Day Pass goes from no consistency rule to 35%. GOAT Daily switches its drawdown from end-of-day to intraday equity trailing, counting unrealised profit. Only Flex gets easier, dropping its rule entirely.
Payouts are the real constraint. Four programs count winning days — sessions closing up 0.2% or more — and then only accept requests on the 5th to 8th or 20th to 23rd of the month. Flex and 1-Day Pass need 5 winning days, EOD and Instant Classic need 7, and Instant Classic adds a 10 calendar-day wait before the first.
GOAT Daily is the answer to that, paying every 24 hours with no winning-day count and no monthly window. What it costs you is a 2% processing fee after the split, so a $1,000 request lands as $882, and a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600 to clear first.
Daily drawdowns behave better here than at most firms: hitting one is a pause, not a breach. Trading stops for the session and resumes next day. Only the maximum drawdown can fail an account, and the floor stops trailing at your starting balance — or starting balance plus $100 on GOAT Daily and Instant Lite.
Automation is allowed on EOD, Flex, 1-Day Pass and Instant Classic, provided your EA reflects your own trading rather than exploiting latency or feed anomalies. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite are manual-only. Martingale, grid and high-frequency strategies are banned everywhere, as is arbitrage of any kind.
Instant Lite runs its own rulebook and is worth reading separately. It caps daily profit at 5% of the account, closes positions at 4:45 PM EST rather than the CME session end, limits you to 3 concurrent accounts on a narrower platform list, and turns a third daily-loss hit into a hard breach.
Everything else follows CME hours — Sunday 5:00 PM CT to Friday 4:00 PM CT with a daily break — and every account needs one trade every 7 days or it breaches and closes with no refund.
Programs & Modes
EOD — Lowest-Cost Path to Funded
The lowest-cost way in at $69.00 for a 50K, and the biggest contract limits on the page at 5 to 12 minis. There is no daily drawdown while you evaluate, then $1,250 to $3,750 once funded, and consistency tightens from 50% to 30% on passing. It ships at 80%, so budget for the 90% add-on. Payouts need 7 winning days, with caps rising from $1,500 to $4,250 as you take more. Evaluation resets are the cheapest here at $59 to $170, and a funded reset is available at $499/$599 on a 50K.
Profit Split: 80%, or 90% with the add-on
Target $3,000 to $9,000 | Daily Loss None | Max Loss $2,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 5 to 12 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Flex — No Daily Drawdown at All
The only program with no daily drawdown at either stage and no consistency rule once funded — the least restrictive funded account GOAT offers. The evaluation asks 50% consistency over two trading days and nothing else unusual. Like EOD it ships at 80% with a 90% add-on. Each payout takes 50% of profit up to $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000 by size, after 5 winning days. Contract limits sit at 3 to 8 minis, resets $104 to $299.
Profit Split: 80%, or 90% with the add-on
Target $3,000 to $9,000 | Daily Loss None | Max Loss $2,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 3 to 8 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
1-Day Pass — Fastest Evaluation
No consistency rule at all on the evaluation, so a single trading day passes it — the fastest route to funded here. It also pays 90% as standard rather than 80%. The bill lands afterwards: 35% consistency once funded, the tightest of the evaluation programs, and each payout takes only 50% of available profit with the rest held back as a buffer. A daily drawdown of $600 to $2,000 applies at both stages as a pause. Smallest limits at 1 to 6 minis, from $79.00.
Profit Split: 90%, with a 90% add-on also listed
Target $1,500 to $6,000 | Daily Loss $600 to $2,000 | Max Loss $1,000 to $3,000 | Contracts 1 to 6 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
GOAT Daily — Paid Every 24 Hours
The newest program and the only one paying every 24 hours, with no winning-day count and no monthly submission window. It flips twice on funding: the 40% consistency rule disappears, and the drawdown becomes intraday equity trailing, counting unrealised profit against your floor. Clear a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600, then take up to $650, $1,000, $1,500 or $2,500 a time, minus a 2% processing fee. Manual trading only. Four sizes from $89.00.
Profit Split: 90% from your first payout
Target $1,500 to $9,000 | Daily Loss $500 to $2,250 | Max Loss $1,000 to $4,500 | Contracts 2 to 8 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Instant Classic — 100% of Your First $10K
Funded from purchase and the only program paying 100% of your first $10,000 before dropping to 90/10. It runs intraday trailing drawdown and a flat 20% consistency rule. The first payout needs a 7% profit goal plus 10 calendar days; every payout after needs a new equity high rather than a fixed figure. EAs are permitted. The widest size range at $25,000 to $150,000 and the highest prices, from $192.00.
Profit Split: 100% of your first $10,000, then 90%
Target None | Daily Loss $750 to $4,500 | Max Loss $1,250 to $7,500 | Contracts 3 to 8 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Instant Lite — Cheapest Instant Route
The cheapest instant route, and it runs its own rulebook. Against Classic: end-of-day drawdown rather than intraday, a flat 90/10 with no first-$10,000 bonus, consistency that scales 15% to 20% to 25%, and payouts driven by targets rather than winning days. The catches stack up — daily profit capped at 5%, a third daily-loss hit closes the account, manual trading only, a 4:45 PM EST force-close, and a limit of 3 concurrent accounts. Three sizes from $182.00.
Profit Split: 90% from your first payout
Target None | Daily Loss $1,000 to $2,000 | Max Loss $1,000 to $3,000 | Contracts 1 to 7 Minis | Min Days 1 | Time ∞ Unlimited | No Activation Fee
Profit Split & Payouts
EOD and Flex ship at 80%, with a 90% add-on at checkout that is also offered on 1-Day Pass. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite pay 90% outright, and Instant Classic pays 100% of your first $10,000. GOAT Daily pays every 24 hours once you clear a buffer of $1,100 to $4,600, capped at $650 to $2,500 and minus a 2% processing fee. The other four count winning days — 5 on Flex and 1-Day Pass, 7 on EOD and Instant Classic — and submit on the 5th to 8th or 20th to 23rd. Instant Lite is target-based instead. The minimum is $500 everywhere, paid through Riseworks on Arbitrum.
Platforms & Vendors
Nine platforms: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, ATAS, DeepCharts, DeepMap, Quantower, Volumetrica and Tickblaze. Instant Lite runs a narrower list — NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Quantower, ATAS and Volumetrica/VolBook on a dxFeed or CQG feed. The permitted instrument list is published on the firm's site.

50% Off Everything
Code GUIDE takes 50% off every GOAT Funded Futures account, evaluations and both instant plans alike. A 50K EOD drops from $138.00 to $69.00, a 25K GOAT Daily from $178.00 to $89.00, and a 150K Instant Classic from $1,248.00 to $624.00.
90% Profit Split Add-On Allowed
A 90% profit split add-on is sold at checkout on EOD, Flex and 1-Day Pass. EOD and Flex ship at 80%, so the add-on is what takes them to 90%. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite pay 90% without one, and Instant Classic pays 100% of your first $10,000 before settling at 90/10.
EAs Allowed on Four Programs Allowed
Personal automated strategies and EAs are permitted on EOD, 1-Day Pass, Flex and Instant Classic, as long as they match your trading style and do not exploit latency or feed anomalies. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite are manual-only.
Copy Trading Between Your Own Accounts Allowed
Allowed across different firms and brokers, subject to each program's limits. GOAT Daily permits copying only between your own GOAT Daily accounts. Instant Lite allows it only within Instant Lite, at the same size, across a maximum of 3 accounts.
Daily Drawdowns Are a Pause, Not a Breach Allowed
Hitting one stops trading for the rest of the day and you resume next session. On GOAT Daily the third hit inside a rolling 30-day window closes the account.
GOAT Daily Pays Every 24 Hours Allowed
First request 24 hours after your first funded trade, then one every 24 hours with no winning-day requirement and no monthly window.
GOAT Daily Has No Funded Consistency Rule and No Daily Profit Cap Allowed
40% applies on the evaluation and nothing once funded.
Flex Has No Daily Drawdown at Either Stage Allowed
And no consistency rule once funded, which makes it the least restrictive funded account here.
1-Day Pass Has No Evaluation Consistency Rule Allowed
Nothing at all while you evaluate, and a single trading day passes it.
Instant Classic Keeps 100% of Your First $10,000 Allowed
Before the split settles at 90/10. No other program here carries the bonus.
News Trading on the Evaluation Allowed
Completely unrestricted. Restrictions apply once funded.
No Activation Fee on Any Program Allowed
The $99 activation fee is struck through on every plan.
EOD and Flex Ship at 80% Restricted
Both are 80/20 as standard. The 90% add-on at checkout is what lifts them, and the same add-on is offered on 1-Day Pass. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite pay 90% without one, and Instant Classic pays 100% of your first $10,000.
Payouts Are Counted in Winning Days Restricted
A winning day is a net gain of 0.2% of your balance or more. Flex and 1-Day Pass need 5, EOD and Instant Classic need 7, and Instant Classic also needs 10 calendar days before the first payout.
Requests Only Open Twice a Month Restricted
The 5th to 8th or the 20th to 23rd, on EOD, 1-Day Pass, Flex and Instant Classic. GOAT Daily is the exception, with one request every 24 hours.
1-Day Pass Holds Back Half Your Profit Restricted
Each payout pays 50% of available profit; the other half stays in the account as a buffer for future payouts. Flex works similarly, paying 50% of profit up to $2,000, $2,500 or $3,000 by size.
Instant Classic Needs a New Equity High Restricted
The first payout needs a 7% profit goal. Every payout after that requires you to surpass the equity high from before the previous withdrawal.
Instant Lite Runs Its Own Rulebook Restricted
Three daily-loss hits become a hard breach and close the account. Positions are force-closed at 4:45 PM EST rather than at the CME session end, with no weekend holding. Only 3 concurrent accounts are allowed, copy trading is limited to Instant Lite at the same size across those 3, and the platform list is narrower: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Quantower, ATAS and Volumetrica/VolBook on a dxFeed or CQG feed. Instruments are CME index, energy, metals and FX futures. Payouts land within 2 business days of approval, and anything above the cap stays in the account for the next cycle.
Instant Lite Runs on Targets, Not Winning Days Restricted
First payout at $1,500, $3,000 or $6,500 by size, then $1,250, $2,400 or $3,500 recurring. Requests cap at $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000, and daily profit is capped at 5% of the account.
Where the Drawdown Floor Locks Restricted
On GOAT Daily and Instant Lite it stops trailing at starting balance + $100. On EOD, 1-Day Pass, Flex and Instant Classic it stops at the starting balance. A payout never moves or locks the floor.
GOAT Daily Charges a 2% Processing Fee Restricted
Deducted after the 90/10 split, on top of a 48-hour processing window before delivery through Rise. A $1,000 approved request pays out $882.
Microscalping Is Deducted, Not Breached Restricted
Trades closed within 2 minutes are microscalping: the profit is removed from your account but the account stays open. Flex uses its own test instead, and GOAT Daily requires at least 50% of net profit from trades held over 60 seconds.
Flex's Own Microscalping Test Restricted
At each payout, at least 50% of closed trades must be held over 1 minute and at least 50% of net profit must come from trades over 1 minute. Fail either and the request is declined and sub-1-minute profit is deducted, without breaching the account.
Trading Hours Follow CME Restricted
Sunday 5:00 PM CT to Friday 4:00 PM CT, with a daily maintenance break from 4:00 to 5:00 PM CT. All positions must be closed before each session ends. GOAT Daily closes automatically at 15:55 CT with no overnight or weekend holding.
Trade at Least Once Every 7 Days Restricted
Seven consecutive days without a trade breaches and closes the account, and the fee is not refunded. There is no deadline on passing the evaluation, but the account has to stay active.
Funded News Trading Has a 2-Minute Buffer Restricted
No opening, closing or triggering pending orders within 2 minutes either side of a scheduled high-impact release. A position opened before the window may be held through the event. Trading inside it means the profit is deducted at payout.
Reset Fees Are Priced by Size and Program Restricted
EOD is cheapest at $59, $120 and $170. 1-Day Pass runs $69 to $159, GOAT Daily $79 to $259 and Flex $104 to $299. EOD also offers a funded reset at $499/$599 on a 50K and $599/$699 on a 100K. The instant plans cannot be reset.
Max Funded Accounts Restricted
Up to 5 funded accounts within a $750,000 allocation cap. Giveaway accounts follow the same rules with a 2% payout cap per cycle.
Martingale, Grid and High-Frequency Strategies Prohibited
Banned on every program, not only the manual ones. Doubling into losses, laddered grid entries and high-frequency execution are all outside what GOAT accepts.
Bots and EAs on GOAT Daily and Instant Lite Prohibited
Both are manual trading products. Bots, Expert Advisors and automated strategies are banned on either. The other four programs permit personal EAs.
High-Frequency and Algorithmic Exploitation Prohibited
High-frequency systems, AI tools, tick scalping and bulk order entry that exploit execution speed or system inefficiencies rather than real market conditions.
Arbitrage of Any Kind Prohibited
Latency, hedge, reverse and rollover arbitrage are all prohibited as exploiting structural inefficiencies rather than genuine speculation.
Coordinated Trading Prohibited
Opposing or hedged positions across accounts, group trading, trade signalling, and sharing environments, devices, VPS instances or IPs to enable linked trading.
Copying Other Users Prohibited
Copying your own trades is fine within each program's limits. Copying other people's trades or signals, manually or through copy services and EAs, is not — and where linked positions are detected, every account involved may be suspended.
Market Manipulation and Deception Prohibited
Fraudulent conduct, price manipulation, spoofing, or anything designed to distort the market or create false trading conditions.
Exploiting Pricing or Feed Errors Prohibited
Profiting from mispriced quotes, lagging updates, feed latency or data discrepancies, including using external or slower price sources for an edge.
Gap Trading Prohibited
Trading to capture price gaps from market closures and re-openings.
Artificial Trades and Volume Inflation Prohibited
Token, undersized or manipulated trades used to fake active days, and abnormally high trade counts or oversized positions on negligible price movement.
Irresponsible Sizing and Account Rolling Prohibited
Staking a disproportionate share of equity on one position, one-sided all-in bets, or erratic size jumps such as one contract then ten.

How Often Each Program Pays
Five of the six run on winning days and a twice-monthly submission window. GOAT Daily is the exception.
| Program | Split | Payout Frequency | Submission Window | Per Request |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GOAT Daily | 90% | Every 24 hours | Any time | $650 – $2,500 by size |
| Flex | 80% (90% add-on) | 5 winning days | 5th–8th or 20th–23rd | 50% of profit up to $2,000–$3,000 |
| 1-Day Pass | 90% | 5 winning days | 5th–8th or 20th–23rd | 50% of profit, caps rise by payout |
| EOD | 80% (90% add-on) | 7 winning days | 5th–8th or 20th–23rd | Caps rise by payout |
| Instant Classic | 100% first $10K | 7 winning days + 10 calendar days first | 5th–8th or 20th–23rd | $1,000 – $4,000 by size |
| Instant Lite | 90% | 7 days (15% rule) | — | $1,000 – $3,000 by size |
EOD — Payout Caps by Request
Caps rise with each payout, so the first is the tightest.
| Account | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $2,750 |
| $100,000 | $2,000 | $2,750 | $3,250 | $3,750 |
| $150,000 | $2,500 | $3,250 | $3,750 | $4,250 |
1-Day Pass — Payout Caps by Request
Each payout takes 50% of available profit, with the rest held as a buffer for future requests.
| Account | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $800 | $1,000 | $1,200 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $1,500 | $1,750 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $3,500 | $4,500 |
GOAT Daily — Buffer and Caps
Clear the buffer before your first payout, then request every 24 hours. A 2% processing fee is deducted after the split, so a $1,000 request pays $882.
| Account | Buffer | Max Per Request | Daily Drawdown |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,100 | $650 | $500 |
| $50,000 | $2,100 | $1,000 | $1,000 |

| $150,000 | $4,600 | $2,500 | $2,250 |
Instant Lite — Targets and Caps
Driven by profit targets rather than winning days, though the 15% consistency rule on the first payout means at least 7 profitable days in practice. The only program capping what you can make in a day. Anything above the payout cap stays in the account and supports your equity into the next cycle. Paid within 2 business days of approval.
| Account | First Target | Recurring | Max Request | Daily Profit Cap | Daily Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,500 (6%) | $1,250 (5%) | $1,000 (4%) | $1,250 | None |
| $50,000 | $3,000 (6%) | $2,400 (4.8%) | $2,000 (4%) | $2,500 | $1,000 |

EOD and Flex Ship at 80%
The 90% add-on at checkout lifts them, and it is offered on 1-Day Pass too. GOAT Daily and Instant Lite pay 90% without one.
Instant Classic Runs on Equity Highs
After the 7% first target, every payout needs you to surpass the equity high from before the previous withdrawal.
Flex Pays 50% of Profit
Up to $2,000 on a 50K, $2,500 on a 100K and $3,000 on a 150K.

GOAT Funded Futures Reviews & Ratings
Rated by our community & expert team
GOAT Funded Futures is the futures arm of GOAT Funded Trader, run from Hong Kong under CEO Edoardo Dalla Torre since November 2024. Six programs and twenty accounts, $25,000 to $150,000, on nine platforms and paid on-chain through Riseworks. EOD and Flex ship at 80% and need an add-on to reach 90%. 1-Day Pass, GOAT Daily and Instant Lite pay 90%, and Instant Classic pays 100% of your first $10,000. Code GUIDE takes 50% off everything, so a 50K EOD is $69.00 — the cheapest entry of any futures firm we cover. The catch is getting paid. Four programs count winning days and then only open requests twice a month. Only GOAT Daily escapes that, paying every 24 hours for a 2% processing fee.
Summary
GOAT Funded Futures is a Hong Kong futures prop firm trading since November 2024, the futures arm of GOAT Funded Trader. Six programs, twenty accounts, $25,000 to $150,000, on nine platforms with payouts through Riseworks.
Cheapest way in is a 50K EOD at $69.00 with code GUIDE, which takes 50% off every account. No activation fee anywhere and no deadline on any program.
Three things decide the fit. GOAT Daily pays every 24 hours where the rest count winning days and open requests twice a month. EOD and Flex ship at 80%, not the 90% the pricing page implies. And four of the six programs change their rules when you pass.
Deep Dive
More About GOAT Funded Futures
Is GOAT Funded Futures Legit?
GOAT Funded Futures has operated from Hong Kong since November 2024 under CEO Edoardo Dalla Torre, as the futures arm of GOAT Funded Trader. Nine platforms are supported and payouts run through Riseworks.
The payouts themselves are verifiable rather than claimed. Riseworks settles on-chain via RISEPAY on Arbitrum, so the tracker at the top of this page reads real transfers out of the firm's wallet. That is more than most firms this young can show.
Two design choices deserve credit. Daily drawdowns are a pause rather than a breach, so a bad session costs you the day and not the account. And EAs are permitted on four of the six programs, which is more permissive than much of the futures field.
Our 2.3 score is the lowest of the futures firms we cover, and it is about how you get paid rather than whether you get paid. Four programs gate payouts behind winning days that only count if the session closes up 0.2%, then accept requests in two four-day windows a month. Miss both and you wait, however well you traded.
The transparency score is the weakest of the four. EOD and Flex are marketed as “up to 90%” when they ship at 80% and the 90% is a paid add-on. Four of the six programs also change their rules on funding, so the evaluation figures a buyer compares are not the ones they end up trading.
Worth reading before you buy: martingale, grid and high-frequency strategies are banned on every program, arbitrage of any kind is prohibited, and one trade is required every 7 days or the account closes without a refund.
GOAT Funded Futures vs Other Futures Prop Firms
GOAT competes on entry price and choice: six programs covering most rule preferences and a $69.00 way in, the cheapest futures evaluation we list. Where it loses is payout mechanics and a one-year record.
GOAT Funded Futures vs Apex Trader Funding: Apex pays a flat 100% on all profit rather than only the first $10,000, has five years behind it, and pays far more often than two windows a month. GOAT answers with a much cheaper entry, daily payouts on GOAT Daily and drawdowns that pause rather than fail the account. On getting paid, Apex is the clearer choice.
GOAT Funded Futures vs FundedSeat: FundedSeat pays daily on five of six plans at a flat 90%, where GOAT counts winning days on four of six and ships two programs at 80%. Both are a year old. GOAT answers with a cheaper entry, EAs permitted on four programs where FundedSeat bans them outright, and 100% of your first $10,000 on Instant Classic.
GOAT Funded Futures vs FuturesElite: FuturesElite pays daily at 90% with no winning-day gate and no add-on to reach it. GOAT answers with the first-$10,000 bonus, an evaluation that passes in a single day, and EAs on four programs where FuturesElite bans automation entirely. On payout speed FuturesElite wins comfortably.
GOAT Funded Futures vs FXIFY Futures: Both make you wait and both run tiered structures. FXIFY pays every 14 calendar days starting at 60% of profit; GOAT counts winning days then opens a twice-monthly window. FXIFY has three years of history against one. GOAT answers with no monthly subscription, no activation fee and daily payouts on GOAT Daily.

What is GOAT Daily?
The newest program and the only one paying every 24 hours, with no winning-day requirement and no funded consistency rule. The evaluation runs a 40% rule, which in practice needs three trading days. The drawdown switches from end-of-day to intraday equity trailing once funded, including unrealised P&L. It is manual-only, closes automatically at 15:55 CT, and charges a 2% processing fee after the split.
What add-ons does GOAT Funded Futures offer?
A 90% profit split add-on at checkout on EOD, Flex and 1-Day Pass. EOD and Flex ship at 80%, so the add-on is what takes them to 90%.
How often does GOAT Funded Futures pay out?
GOAT Daily pays every 24 hours with no winning-day requirement. Flex and 1-Day Pass need 5 winning days, EOD and Instant Classic need 7, and Instant Classic also needs 10 calendar days before the first. Instant Lite is target-based. Requests on the five non-Daily programs are submitted on the 5th to 8th or 20th to 23rd of the month.
Do the GOAT Funded Futures evaluation and funded rules differ?
Yes, on four of the six programs. EOD has no daily drawdown while you evaluate and $1,250 to $3,750 once funded, with consistency tightening from 50% to 30%. 1-Day Pass has no consistency rule on the evaluation and 35% funded. GOAT Daily and Flex both drop their consistency rule entirely on passing, and GOAT Daily also switches drawdown type.
What is the GOAT Funded Futures consistency rule?
GOAT Daily 40% on the evaluation then none. Flex 50% then none. EOD 50% tightening to 30%. 1-Day Pass none then 35%. Instant Classic a flat 20%. Instant Lite scales 15%, 20%, then 25% across your first three payouts.
Does GOAT Funded Futures have a daily loss limit?
It depends on the program, and where there is one it is a pause rather than a breach. Flex has none at either stage. EOD has none on the evaluation and $1,250 to $3,750 funded. GOAT Daily, 1-Day Pass and both instant plans carry one at both stages. On GOAT Daily, a third hit inside a rolling 30-day period closes the account.
Is the GOAT Funded Futures daily drawdown a hard breach?
No. Hitting it stops trading for the rest of the day and you resume the next session. Only the maximum drawdown fails an account.
How does the GOAT Funded Futures drawdown work?
Most programs use an end-of-day trailing drawdown. Instant Classic uses intraday trailing throughout, and GOAT Daily switches to intraday equity trailing once funded, including unrealised P&L. On GOAT Daily and Instant Lite the floor stops trailing at your starting balance plus $100; on the other four it stops at the starting balance. A payout never moves the floor.
What is the GOAT Daily buffer?
An amount you clear before your first payout: $1,100 on the 25K, $2,100 on the 50K, $3,100 on the 100K and $4,600 on the 150K.
What is the difference between Instant Classic and Instant Lite?
Classic runs intraday trailing drawdown, a flat 20% consistency rule, a 7% payout target then a new equity high each time, pays 100% of your first $10,000, and permits EAs. Lite is cheaper, runs end-of-day drawdown locking at starting balance plus $100, scales consistency 15% to 25%, is target-based, caps daily profit at 5%, is manual-only and limits you to 3 concurrent accounts.
What is the Instant Lite daily profit cap?
5% of the account: $1,250 on the 25K, $2,500 on the 50K and $5,000 on the 100K. Trading is cut off for the rest of the day once you reach it. No other program here caps what you can make in a day.
What happens if I hit the Instant Lite daily loss limit?
It is a soft breach the first two times: positions close and trading pauses for the rest of the day, resuming next session. The third hit becomes a hard breach and closes the account. The 25K has no daily loss limit at all.
