Questions
- What are Goat Funded Trader's challenge rules?
- As published on the firm's own pages, read 2026-08-06: 1 Step Model (GOAT): 10% target, 3% daily limit, 6% overall (static); 2 Step GOAT Model: 8% + 6% target, 4% daily limit, 10% overall (static); 2-Step Standard: 10% + 5% target, 5% daily limit, 10% overall (static); 3 Step Model: 6% + 6% + 6% target, 4% daily limit, 8% overall (static); GOAT Blitz: 3% target, 3% daily limit, 5% overall (trailing intraday); Pay Later Model: 4% target, no published daily limit, 8% overall (trailing intraday). What these mean at your own risk per trade — how many consecutive losing trades each cap allows — is computed in the tables on this page.
- Does Goat Funded Trader refund the challenge fee?
- 1 Step Model (GOAT): no; 2 Step GOAT Model: no; 2-Step Standard: no; 3 Step Model: no; GOAT Blitz: no; Pay Later Model: no. Where a refund exists, when it actually arrives is recorded in the rules above — several firms pay it with a later reward rather than on passing.
What is not on this page
A pass rate. Nobody publishes one, and the percentages in circulation come from firms selling challenges or affiliates earning on sign-ups. A number with that provenance would make this page look more authoritative and be worth less.
Fees are shown as displayed on the date read, and prop firms discount often — treat the figure as a snapshot and check the firm's own page before paying. What this page adds is the part that page does not tell you: what the rules mean at the risk you actually trade, and what the attempt costs once you stop assuming you pass first time. Run them against your own numbers.
Before you buy an attempt
Work out how many consecutive losers the drawdown allows at your risk per trade, and multiply the fee by the number of attempts you honestly expect. Both take a minute and both change the decision.
