 What are the contract limits on my live account?
 Live accounts have their own contract limits, calibrated to your live drawdown rather than inherited from your sim plan. For now these are flat — no scaling, no tiers to track.
 - 25K Live: 1 mini / 10 micros
 - 50K Live: 2 minis / 20 micros
 - 75K Live: 3 minis / 30 micros
 - 100K Live: 3 minis / 30 micros
 - 150K Live: 5 minis / 50 micros
· · ·
 Your live account uses a static drawdown — a fixed loss limit that stays the same throughout the life of the account. You can lose up to the drawdown amount from your starting balance before your account is breached, and that buffer never closes in as your profits grow.
 Static drawdown by account size:
 - 25K: $1,000
 - 50K: $2,000
 - 75K: $3,000 (Instant Classic only)
 - 100K: $3,000
 - 150K: $4,500

 What "50% must be new profit" means in practice
 You can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last approved payout, within the minimum and maximum for your size.
 Worked example on a funded Daily 50K: Your balance is $53,400, which is $1,300 above the $52,100 buffer. Your last payout was approved yesterday and you have made $700 since. Twice $700 is $1,400, but the 50K maximum is $1,000, so you request $1,000. At the 90/10 split you receive $900, less the 2% processing fee, so $882 arrives. Your balance becomes $52,400.
 The practical effect is that one very good day followed by flat days will not let you keep withdrawing. Each request has to be at least half funded by profit made since the last one.
 Why was my request declined?

 - KYC is not complete.
 Processing time and fees
 Payouts are processed within 48 hours of the request. A 2% processing fee is deducted to cover payment and transaction costs, so the amount that reaches you is slightly below the figure on your payout certificate.

 The daily progression rule
 At least 50% of every payout request must be profit generated since your last approved payout. Put another way, you can request up to twice the profit you have made since your last payout, within the minimum and maximum above. For your first payout, all profit above the buffer counts as new profit.
 Example on a funded Daily 50K: Your balance is $53,400, which is $1,300 above the $52,100 buffer. Your last payout was approved yesterday and you have made $700 since. The progression rule lets you request up to $1,400, twice your new profit. The 50K maximum is $1,000, so you request $1,000 and receive $900 after the 90/10 split, less the 2% processing fee, so $882 arrives. Your balance becomes $52,400 and your drawdown limit stays locked at $50,100.
 If you do not meet the progression rule, the request is declined. That is not a breach. Keep trading and request again once at least half of the amount you want is profit made since your last payout.
 Two checks run on every request. The progression rule above is one. The 60 second holding rule below is the other. Both have to pass, and a request can fail either one on its own.

 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?
 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?
 You do not need to. The team has full visibility into every funded account and reaches out directly when a trader is approved for transition. Asking for review does not move you up the queue — sustained consistency does.
 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?
 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.
 Will my existing payouts count?
 Yes — your entire trading history with us is what the risk team reviews. Every approved payout, your consistency, how you have handled drawdowns, your overall risk profile. If you have already built a strong track record, the risk team has visibility into that and factors it into their review.
 If you are approved for transition before the live environment is operational, your live account is reserved and your sim account is held until launch — see Collection 1 for how that works.
 How will I know I'm being moved to live?
 We will reach out to you directly by email the moment your account is approved. Your transition notice walks you through the size and structure of your live account, the Live Funded Trader Agreement, any remaining KYC, and step-by-step onboarding for the live platform.

 Personal automated strategies and EAs are allowed, as long as they are consistent with your trading style and do not exploit system vulnerabilities, latency, or data feed anomalies. Strategies designed to manipulate the simulated environment rather than reflect genuine market trading are prohibited.

 It depends on your plan.
 Where they are allowed
 On EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic, personal automated strategies and EAs are allowed, as long as they are consistent with your trading style and do not exploit system vulnerabilities, latency, or data feed anomalies. Strategies designed to manipulate the simulated environment rather than reflect genuine market trading are prohibited.
 Where they are not
 Daily Payouts and Instant Lite are manual trading products. Bots, Expert Advisors and automated strategies are not permitted on either, and neither are grid, martingale or high frequency strategies.

 A reset is always cheaper than purchasing a new account. It restarts your account with a fresh balance, profit target, and trading day counter — same account, fresh start.
 Each account can only be reset twice. If you fail after two resets reset, you would need to purchase a new account. For current reset pricing, visit goatfundedfutures.com.
 Instant Classic accounts cannot be reset.

 If you know you are going to be away, tell support in advance.

 How many accounts can I have?
 You can have funded accounts active at the same time, subject to the following limits:
 • EOD Challenge / 1-Day-Pass-Plan / Flex Challenge — up to 5 funded accounts.
 • Instant Classic — up to 3 funded accounts.
 You can combine account types. For example:
 • 3 Instant Classic accounts and 2 Flex funded accounts.
 • 2 EOD funded accounts and 3 1-Day-Pass-Plan funded accounts.
 As long as you remain within the maximum funded account limit for each product type.
 There is no limit on the number of evaluation accounts you may purchase.

 How many accounts can I have?
 You can hold funded accounts at the same time, subject to the following limits:
 - EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex Challenge and Daily Payouts: up to 5 funded accounts each
 - Instant Classic: up to 3 funded accounts
 The limits are counted separately for each product type, so they do not compete with each other. You can combine account types freely. For example:
 - 3 Instant Classic accounts and 2 Flex funded accounts
 - 2 EOD funded accounts and 3 Daily Payouts funded accounts
 - 5 Daily Payouts funded accounts alongside 5 Flex funded accounts
 As long as you stay within the maximum for each product type.
 There is no limit on the number of evaluation accounts you may purchase.

 At least 50% of the amount you request must come from new profit generated since your previous approved payout.
 For example, a $2,000 payout request requires at least $1,000 in new profit during the current payout cycle.
 Eligible example
 You trade a 50K account to $54,000 and receive a first payout of $2,000, leaving the account at $52,000.
· · ·
 A $2,000 request requires at least $1,000 in new profit, so you are not yet eligible to submit that request. Continue trading until the requirement is met.
 Additional requirement for Instant Classic
 After the first payout on an Instant Classic account, you must surpass your previous equity high—the account equity level reached before your last withdrawal—before requesting another payout.
 If your Instant Classic account was created after August 7, 2026, you must satisfy both the previous-equity-high requirement and the new-profit requirement.
 What happens if my recurring payout request is declined?
 A declined request is not a breach and carries no account penalty. Continue trading and submit another request during an available payout window once all requirements are met.
 Before requesting another payout
 Make sure that:
 - You have completed the required winning days for the new payout cycle.
 - You meet the consistency rule that applies to your account.
 - You meet the new-profit requirement if your account is subject to it.
 - You have surpassed the previous equity high if you trade an Instant Classic account.
 - Your request meets the minimum payout amount and applicable payout cap.
 - You submit the request during an available payout window.

 At least 50% of the amount you request must come from new profit generated since your previous approved payout.
 For example, a $2,000 payout request requires at least $1,000 in new profit during the current payout cycle.
 Without this rule, a trader could build a buffer from one or two large days and then keep withdrawing the maximum cap without making anything new.

 Additional requirement for Instant Classic

 If your Instant Classic account was created after August 7, 2026, you must satisfy both the previous-equity-high requirement and the new-profit requirement.
 Daily Payouts
 The new-profit requirement above applies to Daily Payouts, where it is called the daily progression rule: at least 50% of what you request must be profit made since your last approved payout.
 The rest of this article does not apply to Daily Payouts. There is no winning day requirement and no consistency rule on the funded account, so nothing resets between payouts, and there are no payout windows. You can submit your next request 24 hours after the last one.
 What happens if my recurring payout request is declined?
 A declined request is not a breach and carries no account penalty. Continue trading and submit another request once all requirements are met, during an available payout window on the plans that use them.
 Before requesting another payout
 Make sure that:
 - You have completed the required winning days.
 - You meet the consistency rule that applies to your account.
 - You meet the new-profit requirement if your account is subject to it.
 - You have surpassed the previous equity high if you trade an Instant Classic account.
 - Your request meets the minimum payout amount and applicable payout cap.
 - You submit the request during an available payout window, unless you are on Daily Payouts, which has none.

 Yes — KYC verification is required, but the timing depends on your account type:
 - EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex Challenge — KYC must be completed before your account is upgraded to the funded stage.
 - Instant Classic — you can buy and trade the account without KYC. You need to complete it once you become eligible for your first payout.
 Challenge accounts: upon passing your Challenge and getting your review approved, you will instantly receive your KYC link via email. To complete your KYC you will need:
 - A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID)

 Yes, KYC verification is required, but the timing depends on your account type:

 - Instant Classic — you can buy and trade the account without KYC. You need to complete it once you become eligible for your first payout.
 - Daily Payouts — KYC must be completed before your first payout.
 On Daily Payouts you can request a payout every 24 hours, so verification is the step most likely to hold up an early request. Start it as soon as your funded account is activated rather than waiting until you want the money.
 Challenge accounts: upon passing your Challenge and getting your review approved, you will instantly receive your KYC link via email. To complete your KYC you will need:
 - A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID)

 All GFF payouts are processed through Rise (Riseworks), a third-party payout platform widely used in the futures prop trading industry.
 How do I receive my payout?
 Once you are eligible to request a payout, submit the request through your GFF dashboard during an available payout window.
 Your payout is then processed through Rise. You must have completed the required KYC verification before the payout can be completed.
 When is KYC required?
 - EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex: KYC must be completed before your account is upgraded to the funded stage.
 - Instant Classic: KYC must be completed when you become eligible for your first payout.
 If your KYC verification is incomplete or requires additional review, your payout may be delayed.
 How long does payout processing take?
 GFF processes payout requests within two business days after the request is submitted.
 Weekends and public holidays are not business days. This timeframe covers GFF processing; once processed, the payout is handled through Rise.
 What should I do if my payout is taking longer?
 If more than two business days have passed and you have not received an update, contact GFF Support and provide your account details and payout-request information so the team can investigate.
 Processing Fee for Payouts
 A 2% fee is applied to all payouts to cover payment processing and transaction costs. As a result, the final amount that arrives in your account may be slightly lower than the total shown on your payout certificate.

 Minimum payout amount
 The minimum payout request across all GFF account types is $500.
 This applies to EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic and Flex accounts. If your eligible payout amount is below $500, you must continue trading until you reach the minimum and meet the other payout requirements.
 EOD funded accounts
 You may request up to 50% of your available profit, subject to the cap for your account size and payout number. The remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer for future payout cycles.
· · ·
 150K | 50% of available profit, up to $3,000
 For Flex accounts, the 50% withdrawal allowance and payout cap are measured against the total profit on the account before the applicable profit split is applied.
 How do the minimum and cap work together?
 - If your eligible payout is below $500, you cannot submit a payout request yet.
 - If your eligible payout is between $500 and your applicable cap, you may request the eligible amount.
 - If your eligible payout exceeds the cap, the maximum you may request is the applicable cap.
 You must also complete the required winning days and meet any consistency, recurring-payout, and KYC requirements that apply to your account.
 Processing Fee for Payouts
 A 2% fee is applied to all payouts to cover payment processing and transaction costs. As a result, the final amount that arrives in your account may be slightly lower than the total shown on your payout certificate.

 Minimum payout amount
 The minimum payout request across all GFF account types is $500.
 This applies to EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic, Flex and Daily Payouts accounts. If your eligible payout amount is below $500, keep trading until you reach the minimum and meet the other payout requirements.
 EOD funded accounts
 You may request up to 50% of your available profit, subject to the cap for your account size and payout number. The remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer for future payout cycles.

 150K | 50% of available profit, up to $3,000
 For Flex accounts, the 50% withdrawal allowance and payout cap are measured against the total profit on the account before the applicable profit split is applied.
 Daily Payouts funded accounts
 Daily Payouts does not use the 50% withdrawal allowance and does not scale the cap by payout number. A profit buffer stays in the account, and each request is capped by account size.
 Account size | Profit buffer | Minimum balance to request | Maximum per payout
 25K | $1,100 | $26,100 | $650
 50K | $2,100 | $52,100 | $1,000
 100K | $3,100 | $103,100 | $1,500
 150K | $4,600 | $154,600 | $2,500
 Two further conditions apply to every Daily Payouts request:
 - At least 50% of the amount requested must be profit made since your last approved payout, so you can request up to twice your new profit.
 - At least 50% of your net profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds.
 Profit above the maximum stays in the account and supports your equity going into the next request. Requesting a payout does not move or lock your drawdown limit. See how the 24 hour payout cycle works.
 How do the minimum and cap work together?
 - If your eligible payout is below $500, you cannot submit a payout request yet.
 - If your eligible payout is between $500 and your applicable cap, you may request the eligible amount.
 - If your eligible payout exceeds the cap, the maximum you may request is the applicable cap.
 You must also meet any winning day, consistency, recurring-payout and KYC requirements that apply to your account type. Daily Payouts has no winning day requirement and no consistency rule on the funded account.
 Processing fee for payouts
 A 2% fee is applied to all payouts to cover payment processing and transaction costs. As a result, the final amount that arrives in your account may be slightly lower than the total shown on your payout certificate.

 Profit splits vary by account type.
 1-Day-Pass-Plan
 • You keep 80% of your profits by default.
 • Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
 • Payouts become available after completing 5 winning days.
 • 50% of your available profit is paid out per payout request.
 • The remaining 50% stays in your account as a profit buffer to support future payouts.
 Instant Classic Funded
 • You keep 100% of your first $10,000 in payouts, then 90%.
 • Instant Classic does not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. Payouts are capped per cycle by account size instead.
 EOD Challenge
 • You keep 80% of your profits by default.
 • Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
 Flex Challenge
 • You keep 80% of your profits by default.
 • Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
 Examples of the Flex 90/10 Add-On:
 • Flex 50K ($95 challenge) → 90/10 Add-On: +$19.00
 • Flex 100K ($149 challenge) → 90/10 Add-On: +$29.80
 • Flex 150K ($289 challenge) → 90/10 Add-On: +$57.80
 Examples of the 1-Day-Pass-Plan 90/10 Add-On:
 • 1-Day-Pass-Plan 25K ($79 challenge) → 90/10 Add-On: +$15.80
 • 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K ($109 challenge) → 90/10 Add-On: +$21.80
 • 1-Day-Pass-Plan 100K ($179 challenge) → 90/10 Add-On: +$35.80
 Important:
 • Flex and EOD accounts follow a 50% withdrawal allowance structure.
 • Traders may request up to 50% of their available profit, subject to the applicable payout caps.
 • The remaining 50% stays in the account and may become eligible for future payout requests.
 • 1-Day-Pass-Plan accounts use a 50% payout structure. For each payout request, 50% of your available profit is paid out, while the remaining 50% stays in your account as a profit buffer to support future payouts.
 • Instant Classic accounts do not use the 50% withdrawal allowance structure. However, traders should maintain sufficient account balance to remain above their maximum drawdown requirements.

 - Traders may purchase the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an additional 20% of the challenge price.
 Daily Payouts
 - You keep 90% of your profits from your very first payout. There is no add-on to buy.
 - Payouts are available every 24 hours, with no winning day requirement and no fixed request windows.
 - Daily Payouts does not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. Instead, a profit buffer must stay in the account, and each request is capped by account size.
 - At least 50% of every request must be profit made since your last approved payout. See the daily progression rule.
 Account size | Profit buffer | Maximum per payout
 25K | $1,100 | $650
 50K | $2,100 | $1,000
 100K | $3,100 | $1,500
 150K | $4,600 | $2,500
 What the 90/10 add-on costs
 Flex examples:
 - Flex 50K ($95 challenge) becomes +$19.00
 - Flex 100K ($149 challenge) becomes +$29.80
 - Flex 150K ($289 challenge) becomes +$57.80
 1-Day-Pass-Plan examples:

 - 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K ($109 challenge) becomes +$21.80
 - 1-Day-Pass-Plan 100K ($179 challenge) becomes +$35.80
 How the withdrawal allowance works
 - Flex and EOD accounts follow a 50% withdrawal allowance structure. Traders may request up to 50% of their available profit, subject to the applicable payout caps, and the remaining 50% stays in the account for future payout requests.
 - 1-Day-Pass-Plan accounts use a 50% payout structure. For each request, 50% of your available profit is paid out and the remaining 50% stays in your account as a profit buffer.
 - Instant Classic accounts do not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. Traders should maintain sufficient account balance to remain above their maximum drawdown requirements.
 - Daily Payouts accounts do not use the 50% withdrawal allowance. A profit buffer stays in the account and each request is capped by account size, with at least half of every request needing to be profit made since the last payout.

 Instant Classic | Not applicable | 20%
 Flex Challenge | 50% | No consistency percentage
 Worked example
 You have $3,000 in total profit during the current payout cycle on an EOD funded account. Your highest-profit day is $1,200.
· · ·
 Does Flex have a funded consistency rule?
 Flex funded accounts do not have a numerical consistency percentage. However, all trading must still comply with GFF trading rules and must reflect genuine trading activity. Having no funded consistency percentage does not override prohibited-strategy or anti-gaming rules.

 Instant Classic | Not applicable | 20%
 Flex Challenge | 50% | No consistency percentage
 Daily Payouts | 40% | No consistency rule
 Worked example
 You have $3,000 in total profit during the current payout cycle on an EOD funded account. Your highest-profit day is $1,200.
· · ·
 Does Flex have a funded consistency rule?
 Flex funded accounts do not have a numerical consistency percentage. However, all trading must still comply with GFF trading rules and must reflect genuine trading activity. Having no funded consistency percentage does not override prohibited-strategy or anti-gaming rules.
 Does Daily Payouts have a funded consistency rule?
 No. Daily Payouts has no consistency rule on the funded account, so it places no limit on your payouts. The 40% consistency rule applies during the evaluation only, and in practice it means spreading your profit across at least three trading days.

 Before requesting a payout, you must complete the required number of winning days for your account type and meet any applicable consistency, profit and first-payout requirements.
 Requirements by account type
 Account type | Winning days required | Minimum profit for a winning day | Additional first-payout requirement
· · ·
 Flex Funded | 5 | Depends on the account size | None
 Instant Classic | 7 | 0.2% of the starting balance | At least 10 calendar days after your first trade and 7% account growth
 What counts as a winning day?
 A winning day is a trading day where your net P&L, after commissions and fees, reaches the minimum required amount.
 For EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant Classic accounts, the requirement is at least 0.2% of the account’s starting balance.
 For example, a winning day on a 50K account requires at least $100 in net profit.
 For Flex accounts, the minimum depends on the account size:
 - Flex 50K: $250 — 0.5%
 - Flex 100K: $400 — 0.4%
 - Flex 150K: $450 — 0.3%
 Winning days do not need to be consecutive. They accumulate until you reach the required number for your payout cycle.
 When can I request my first payout?
 For EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex funded accounts, you can request your first payout after completing the required winning days and meeting all other applicable payout rules.
 For Instant Classic accounts, all of the following must be completed before your first payout:
 - At least 10 calendar days must have passed since your first trade.
· · ·
 What happens after my first payout?
 A new payout cycle begins after each approved payout.
 For Instant Classic accounts, you must also surpass your previous equity high—the account equity level reached before your last withdrawal—before requesting another payout.
 Additional recurring-payout requirements may apply depending on when your account was created. Please review the recurring payouts article before submitting another request.
 When can I submit a payout request?
 Payout requests can be submitted through your dashboard during either of the monthly payout windows:
 - 5th–8th of each month
 - 20th–23rd of each month
 If you become eligible outside a payout window, wait until the next window opens.
 Before submitting your request
 Make sure that:
· · ·
 - You satisfy any recurring-payout requirements.
 - Your KYC verification is complete when required.

 The requirements before a payout request depend on your account type. Most GFF plans use winning days and monthly request windows. Daily Payouts uses neither, and instead lets you request every 24 hours.
 Requirements by account type
 Account type | Winning days required | Minimum profit for a winning day | Additional first-payout requirement

 Flex Funded | 5 | Depends on the account size | None
 Instant Classic | 7 | 0.2% of the starting balance | At least 10 calendar days after your first trade and 7% account growth

 Winning days do not need to be consecutive. They accumulate until you reach the required number for your payout cycle.
 Daily Payouts does not use winning days. Payout eligibility on Daily is based on time since your last request, your profit buffer, and the daily progression rule.
 When can I request my first payout?
 For EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex funded accounts, you can request your first payout after completing the required winning days and meeting all other applicable payout rules.
 For Daily Payouts accounts, you can request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account, with no winning days required. See how the 24 hour payout cycle works.
 For Instant Classic accounts, all of the following must be completed before your first payout:
 - At least 10 calendar days must have passed since your first trade.
· · ·
 What happens after my first payout?
 A new payout cycle begins after each approved payout.

 Daily Payouts.
 There are no payout windows. You can submit your first request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account, and one request every 24 hours after that, on any day of the month.
 Before submitting your request
 Make sure that:
· · ·
 - You satisfy any recurring-payout requirements.
 - Your KYC verification is complete when required.
 On Daily Payouts, check instead that at least 24 hours have passed since your last request, that your balance is above the profit buffer for your size, that at least half of what you are requesting is profit made since your last payout, and that your KYC is complete.

 Copying your own trades is allowed.
 You may copy your own trades across your own GFF accounts, and across accounts you hold elsewhere. If you buy a multi account bundle, copying your own trades into each of them is the intended use.
 Copying other people is not.
 Trading someone else's calls, whether from a signal provider, a trading group, a third party service, a copy or mirror service, or an EA that follows an external source, is a prohibited trading practice and may result in account termination.
 There is a practical reason beyond fairness. When several unrelated traders follow the same source, their accounts hold matching positions at matching times. Where that is detected, every account and user involved may be suspended, including people who did not know others were following the same signals.
 Automated strategies.
 Your own automated strategies and EAs are allowed, as long as they reflect your own trading and do not exploit latency, data feed anomalies or system vulnerabilities.
 If you are unsure whether a service or method is permitted, contact support before using it.

 Tick scalping refers to extremely short-term trading where positions are opened and closed within seconds to capture very small price movements, often using high position sizes.
 Trading strategies that generate profits through unrealistic execution conditions such as rapid entries and exit within a few ticks may not reflect real market behavior. In live trading environments, such activity is often affected by slippage, liquidity limitations, and partial fills, making these results difficult to replicate consistently.
 This rule applies across all account types, including Flex accounts, to ensure consistency and alignment with realistic market conditions. If such activity is identified, any profits generated from it may be reviewed and deducted.
 Traders are encouraged to follow strategies that are sustainable and reflect genuine live-market execution.

 As mentioned in our rules, we don't allow holding positions overnight or over the weekend, as we consider it very risky and prone to market pricing gaps.
 Therefore our system will automatically flatten any positions left open 5 minutes before market close at 15:55 CT.

 This applies to every account type.

 All positions must be closed before the end of the trading session. This applies to every account type: EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic and Flex. Any position still open is closed automatically at 15:55 CT, five minutes before the session ends.
 Weekend holding is also not permitted.

 Weekend holding is also not permitted.

 The rules differ depending on whether you are in the evaluation or funded phase.
 During the evaluation phase (EOD, Flex and 1-Day-Pass-Plan Challenge): There are no news trading restrictions — you can open and close positions freely around any news event.
 During the funded phase (all account types): A 2-minute buffer applies around high-impact news events. Within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled high-impact news release, you cannot:
 - Open new positions
 - Close existing positions
 - Trigger pending orders
 If a position was opened before the 2-minute pre-news window began, you are permitted to hold it through the event — see the news holding rule for more details.
 This applies to all funded account types: EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic.
 If you execute an order within the restricted timeframe, any profits generated will be deducted upon payout request.
 Gap trading around scheduled earnings releases or other significant company-specific announcements is also prohibited and is treated in the same manner as high-impact news trading.

 The rules differ depending on the plan and on whether you are in the evaluation or funded phase.
 During the evaluation phase
 It depends on the plan.
 - EOD, Flex and 1-Day-Pass-Plan: no news trading restrictions. You can open and close positions freely around any news event.
 - Daily Payouts: the 2 minute buffer applies during the evaluation as well as on the funded account. Daily Payouts is our only evaluation with a news restriction.
 During the funded phase, all account types
 A 2 minute buffer applies around high impact news events. Within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled high impact news release, you cannot:
 - Open new positions
 - Close existing positions
 - Trigger pending orders
 If a position was opened before the 2 minute pre-news window began, you are permitted to hold it through the event. See the news holding rule for more details.
 This applies to all funded account types: EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex, Instant Classic and Daily Payouts.
 What happens if you trade inside the window
 If you execute an order within the restricted timeframe, any profits generated will be deducted upon payout request.
 Gap trading around scheduled earnings releases or other significant company-specific announcements is also prohibited and is treated in the same manner as high impact news trading.

 It depends which limit you hit.
 The daily loss limit is a soft breach.
 Your open positions are closed and trading is paused for the rest of the trading day. It resumes automatically on the next trading day, and your account is not closed. A daily loss limit applies to EOD funded accounts, to 1-Day-Pass-Plan in both phases, and to Instant Classic. Flex has none.
 The maximum drawdown is a hard breach.
 If your balance or equity falls to or below your drawdown floor, the account is closed immediately. This applies in both the evaluation and funded phases, on every plan.
 A breached evaluation account can be reset up to twice. A breached Instant Classic account cannot be reset. Funded account resets are available on EOD 50K and 100K accounts only, before your first payout.

 It depends which limit you hit.
 The daily loss limit is a soft breach
 Your open positions are closed and trading is paused for the rest of the trading day. It resumes automatically on the next trading day, and your account is not closed. A daily loss limit applies to EOD funded accounts, to 1-Day-Pass-Plan in both phases, to Instant Classic, to Instant Lite on the 50K and 100K, and to Daily Payouts in both phases. Flex has none.
 On Daily Payouts, hitting the daily loss limit three times within a rolling 30 day period is a hard breach and closes the account. The first two hits pause trading for the rest of the day in the normal way. See the Daily Payouts daily loss limit article. Instant Lite also closes the account on a third hit, see the Instant Lite specifications.
 The maximum drawdown is a hard breach
 If your balance or equity falls to or below your drawdown floor, the account is closed immediately. This applies in both the evaluation and funded phases, on every plan.
 Can a breached account be reset?
 A breached evaluation account can be reset up to twice, including on Daily Payouts. A breached Instant Classic or Instant Lite account cannot be reset. Funded account resets are available on EOD 50K and 100K accounts only, before your first payout, and are not available on Daily Payouts.

 Instant Classic
 3% of your starting balance, so $750 on a 25K, $1,500 on a 50K, $3,000 on a 100K, $4,500 on a 150K.
 Flex Challenge
 None, in either phase.
 What happens when you reach it.
 The daily loss limit is a soft breach, not a hard one. Your open positions are closed and the account is paused for the rest of the trading day. It resumes automatically on the next trading day, and the account is not closed.
 For the exact figure on your account, check your dashboard.

 Instant Classic
 3% of your starting balance, so $750 on a 25K, $1,500 on a 50K, $3,000 on a 100K, $4,500 on a 150K.
 Instant Lite
 - 25K: none
 - 50K: 2%, which is $1,000
 - 100K: 2%, which is $2,000
 Flex Challenge
 None, in either phase.
 Daily Payouts
 A daily loss limit applies in both phases.
 - 25K: 2%, which is $500
 - 50K: 2%, which is $1,000
 - 100K: 1.5%, which is $1,500
 - 150K: 1.5%, which is $2,250
 What happens when you reach it
 On every plan, hitting the daily loss limit is a soft breach, not a hard one. Your open positions are closed and the account is paused for the rest of the trading day. It resumes automatically on the next trading day, and the account is not closed.
 Daily Payouts has one extra rule
 If you hit the daily loss limit three times within any rolling 30 day period, the third hit is treated as a hard breach and your account is closed. See the Daily Payouts daily loss limit article for how the rolling window works and where to see your count.
 Instant Lite also closes the account on a third hit. See the Instant Lite specifications for details.
 For the exact figure on your account, check your dashboard.

 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.
 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.
 Does requesting a payout lock my drawdown at the starting balance?
 No.
 Requesting or receiving a payout does not change the position of your drawdown floor.
 The drawdown continues to trail according to your account rules until it naturally reaches your account's initial starting balance. Only then does it lock permanently.
 If the drawdown has not yet reached the starting balance before the payout, it will remain at its current level after the payout.

 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.
 On Daily Payouts and Instant Lite the lock point is your starting balance plus $100, not your starting balance. On a Daily 50K the limit locks at $50,100 once your equity reaches $52,100.
 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, it will remain there even after future payouts. If your balance later falls below that level, the account will be breached.
 Does requesting a payout lock my drawdown at the starting balance?
 No. Requesting or receiving a payout does not change the position of your drawdown floor.
 The drawdown continues to trail according to your account rules until it naturally reaches your lock point. Only then does it lock permanently.
 If the drawdown has not yet reached the lock point before the payout, it will remain at its current level after the payout.

 The key difference is when the drawdown floor updates.
 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.
 Intraday Trailing Drawdown (used on Instant Classic accounts):
 The drawdown floor updates in real time as your equity reaches new highs — including unrealized profits on open positions. If your equity hits $52,000 even momentarily, the drawdown floor adjusts immediately and never moves back down.

 The key difference is when the drawdown floor updates.
 EOD trailing drawdown
 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. 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.
 Intraday trailing drawdown
 Used on Instant Classic accounts and on Daily Payouts funded accounts.
 The drawdown floor updates in real time as your equity reaches new highs, including unrealised profits on open positions. If your equity hits $52,000 even momentarily, the drawdown floor adjusts immediately and never moves back down.
 Daily Payouts uses both
 The evaluation runs end of day trailing, and the funded account switches to intraday trailing on your highest equity. See the Daily Payouts drawdown article for what changes when you get funded.

 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.

 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.

 There is no time limit on reaching the target. The 40% consistency rule applies during the evaluation, so your profit needs to be spread across at least three trading days.

 Plans cannot be converted or upgraded after purchase. Each account type is a separate product with its own rules and drawdown mechanics. If you'd like to try a different plan, you would need to purchase a new account.

 This includes moving between Flex and Daily Payouts. You can hold both at the same time, since account limits are counted separately for each product type. If you are weighing the two up, see Daily Payouts or Flex Challenge: which should I choose?
