Futures Prop Firm Rule Radar

Every night Rule Radar archives the help center of every futures prop firm on the price list and shows exactly what changed: which page, which line, dated, before and after. Payout terms, consistency rules, drawdown math, activation fees: firms rewrite these without an announcement, and this is where you catch it. Updated pages open to the exact wording that changed, every article keeps a full version history you can compare, and a plain-English line on each row says what happened. Nothing here is written by the firms. It is their own help center, read every day and kept. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

While Sim Funded, stop trading for the day once you are $5,000 up and for the week once you are $10,000 up — passing $10,000 in total profit triggers a review for Live Brokerage, where the caps come off entirely.

What the page said before and after
Before
How do I qualify for a live account?
Section: How do I qualify for a live account?
− There is no public payout count, dollar target, or numeric milestone that "unlocks" a live account. Our risk team reviews every funded trader based on the full picture — your consistency, how you manage drawdowns, your trading conduct, and your overall risk profile — and identifies when you are ready to move to live capital.
The best path to live is to trade like you intend to keep trading: consistent, disciplined, and risk-aware. Strong trading patterns are noticed regardless of payout count.
Why no public threshold?
We want traders focused on developing genuine consistency, not chasing a specific number. A public threshold encourages optimising for the threshold rather than for trading quality, which is the actual signal we look for. Removing it keeps the program aligned around the right thing: building the kind of track record we can trust on live capital.
What does the risk team look at?
Section: What does the risk team look at?
− The full picture of your trading with us, including (but not limited to):
- Consistency of your trading and your results over time
- How you manage drawdowns and risk
− - Trading conduct (e.g. how you handle news, position sizing, behaviour around the daily reset)
- Your overall risk profile and account history
There is no single metric that triggers transition. It is a holistic call by the risk team.
Can I ask the risk team to move me to live?

Does my product type affect when I move to live?
Section: Does my product type affect when I move to live?
− The transition criterion is the same on every product (EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic, Flex): risk team review of your trading history. What can differ in practice is how quickly different products build a track record — 1-Day-Pass-Plan accounts move faster per cycle, EOD and Instant Funded need more winning days per payout — but the decision itself is product-agnostic.
Do account sizes have different criteria?
Section: Do account sizes have different criteria?
− No — the criterion is the same across 25K, 50K, 100K, and 150K accounts. The size of your eventual live account scales with your sim portfolio (see What if I have multiple sim accounts? in Collection 3), but the path itself is consistent.

How do I qualify for a live account?
Section: How do I qualify for a live account?
+ There is no public payout count, dollar target, or numeric milestone that "unlocks" a live account. Our risk team reviews every funded trader based on the full picture, meaning your consistency, how you manage drawdowns, your trading conduct, and your overall risk profile, and identifies when you are ready to move to live capital.
The best path to live is to trade like you intend to keep trading: consistent, disciplined, and risk-aware. Strong trading patterns are noticed regardless of payout count.
Why no public threshold?
We want traders focused on developing genuine consistency, not chasing a specific number. A public threshold encourages optimising for the threshold rather than for trading quality, which is the actual signal we look for. Removing it keeps the program aligned around the right thing: building the kind of track record we can trust on live capital.
What does the risk team look at?
Section: What does the risk team look at?
+ The full picture of your trading with us, including but not limited to:
- Consistency of your trading and your results over time
- How you manage drawdowns and risk
+ - Trading conduct, for example how you handle news, position sizing, and behaviour around the daily reset
- Your overall risk profile and account history
There is no single metric that triggers transition. It is a holistic call by the risk team.

Important for Funded Accounts
The drawdown continues to trail normally as your account reaches new equity highs until it reaches your account's initial starting balance. Once it reaches the starting balance, it locks permanently and will not trail any higher.
Section: Important for Funded Accounts
Requesting or receiving a payout does not automatically move or lock your drawdown at the starting balance. Your drawdown remains wherever it was before the payout.
Example
On a $50,000 funded account:
− • Current account balance: $51,000
− • Current drawdown floor: $49,000
If you request a $1,000 payout, your account balance becomes $50,000, but your drawdown floor remains at $49,000 because it had not yet reached the starting balance before the payout.
This means you now have $1,000 of remaining drawdown room.
Only after the drawdown naturally reaches your account's initial starting balance does it lock permanently.
− Once the drawdown has locked at the starting balance, it will remain there even after future payouts. If your balance later falls below the starting balance, the account will be breached.

− EOD Trailing Drawdown (used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex accounts):
The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance. Intraday equity swings do not affect your drawdown level.
For example, if your account peaks at $52,000 during the session but closes at $50,500, the drawdown floor adjusts based on $50,500 only.
Section: Intraday trailing drawdown
− Intraday Trailing Drawdown (used on Instant Classic accounts):

What the page said before and after
Before
Section: 1. Trailing EOD (end of day)
− A trailing drawdown is a loss level that moves upward as your account reaches new highs, but never moves back down. Think of it as a rising floor beneath your account — it follows your profits up but stays put when you give back. If your account equity falls to or below this level, the account is breached.
− Once the drawdown floor reaches your account's initial starting balance, it locks there permanently and stops trailing. This applies to all account types — both challenges and funded accounts.
− There are two types of trailing drawdown at GOAT Funded Futures:
− 1. Trailing EOD (End of Day) — used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex accounts: The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
− - You start at $50,000 — your floor is $48,000.
− - You close the day at $51,500 — your floor moves up to $49,500.
− - During the next day your equity dips to $49,200 intraday but you close at $50,800 — no breach, because the floor is based on your end-of-day balance, not intraday equity.
− - Over time, your closing balances push the floor up to $50,000 (your initial starting balance). The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
− 2. Trailing Intraday — used on Instant Classic accounts: The drawdown floor updates in real time, tracking your highest equity point during the session — including unrealized profits on open positions.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
− - You start at $50,000 — your floor is $48,000.
− - Your equity reaches $51,500 during a trade — your floor moves up to $49,500 immediately.
− - If your equity drops to $49,500 at any point — even before closing the trade — the account is breached.
− - Your equity continues climbing to $52,000 — the floor moves to $50,000 (your initial starting balance). The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
− Important note for Funded Accounts: Once the drawdown floor locks at the starting balance, your account has no cushion below that level. For example, if you've grown your 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000 in profits, your balance returns to $50,000 — which is exactly where the floor is locked. At that point, any drop in equity at all will breach the account. Always keep a buffer in your account when making withdrawals.
After
Section: 1. Trailing EOD (end of day)
+ A trailing drawdown is a loss level that moves upward as your account reaches new highs, but never moves back down. Think of it as a rising floor beneath your account. It follows your profits up but stays put when you give back. If your account equity falls to or below this level, the account is breached.
+ Once the drawdown floor reaches its lock point, it stays there permanently and stops trailing. This applies to all account types, both challenges and funded accounts. On most plans the lock point is your initial starting balance. On Daily Payouts and Instant Lite it is your starting balance plus $100.
+ There are two types of trailing drawdown at GOAT Funded Futures.
+ 1. Trailing EOD (end of day)
+ Used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Lite accounts, and on Daily Payouts during the evaluation. The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
+ - You start at $50,000, so your floor is $48,000.
+ - You close the day at $51,500, so your floor moves up to $49,500.
+ - During the next day your equity dips to $49,200 intraday but you close at $50,800. No breach, because the floor is based on your end of day balance, not intraday equity.
+ - Over time, your closing balances push the floor up to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
+ 2. Trailing intraday
+ Used on Instant Classic accounts and on Daily Payouts funded accounts. The drawdown floor updates in real time, tracking your highest equity point during the session, including unrealised profits on open positions.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
+ - You start at $50,000, so your floor is $48,000.
+ - Your equity reaches $51,500 during a trade, so your floor moves up to $49,500 immediately.
+ - If your equity drops to $49,500 at any point, even before closing the trade, the account is breached.
+ - Your equity continues climbing to $52,000, so the floor moves to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
+ Daily Payouts uses both
+ The evaluation runs end of day trailing and the funded account switches to intraday trailing. See the Daily Payouts drawdown article.
+ Important note for funded accounts
+ Once the drawdown floor locks, your account has very little cushion below that level. For example, if you have grown your 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000 in profits, your balance returns to $50,000, which is exactly where the floor is locked. At that point any drop in equity at all will breach the account. Always keep a buffer in your account when making withdrawals.
