Fee refund policy

Why traders fail Goat Funded Trader challenges
The most common failure causes are tied directly to Goat Funded Trader's rule set — here are the ones to plan around before paying for an evaluation.
- 1
Breaching the relative equity drawdown
Goat Funded Trader's drawdown is relative equity, which means the limit moves up as the account grows. Traders who size positions for the starting balance often blow through the limit after a profitable run-up.
Tip: Recalculate your max risk per trade against the current trailing limit, not the starting balance.
- 2
Failing the consistency rule
Goat Funded Trader enforces a consistency rule (Consistency rule for Instant GOAT Program You can only request a payout if no single trading day accounts for 15% or more of your total profits during the payout period; otherwise, you must continue trading until this condition is met. Consistency rule for Instant PRO Program (Funded only) You can only request a payout if no single trading day accounts for 20% or more of your total profits during the payout period; otherwise, you must continue trading until this condition is met). One outsized winning day can disqualify the run even if the profit target is hit.
Tip: Spread profit across multiple sessions — don't double down once you're up. Smaller, repeatable winners pass the rule cleanly.
- 3
Not meeting the minimum trading days
Goat Funded Trader requires at least 3 trading days on the evaluation. Hitting the profit target faster doesn't fast-track you — the day count gates the pass.
Tip: Plan for the day count from day 1. Place at least one position-managed trade per required day, even if you're already in profit.
Who Goat Funded Trader fits
Good fit if you trade like this:
- News-event traders — no restrictions on trading high-impact releases.
- Swing traders — positions can be held over the weekend.
- Algorithmic and EA traders — automation is permitted.
- Traders who want funded capital without a multi-week evaluation — instant-funding tier is available.
Look elsewhere if any of these apply:
- High-variance traders relying on a single big day — the consistency rule will block the pass.
- Scalpers — short-hold strategies aren't permitted.
