Fee, in Goat Funded Trader’s words: 3% of the reward
What could reduce it further, not counted above
- Three separate caps. (1) First two reward requests capped at 6% of the initial account balance or $10k, whichever is lower (4% for $5k Two-Step accounts bought from 25 July 2026); excess is deducted, not paid. (2) A $3,000 maximum profit per trading day on funded accounts; the excess is deducted. (3) Per-method per-payout maxima: Rise no limit, Bank Transfer $10,000, Skrill $5,000, Crypto $4,000.

A model, not a forecast: it assumes every win pays exactly your reward, every loss costs exactly your risk, and your win rate holds. Real trading has slippage, streaks and bad days. Firms also measure daily loss in their own way (balance or equity); check Goat Funded Trader's wording on the rules page.
Consistency rule check
Goat Funded Trader limits how much of your profit can come from one day. Check yours before you ask for a payout.
“Not meeting the Consistency Rule will not result in account termination or an account breach. However, you will not be able to request a payout until your highest profit day is below X% of your total profits for the payout period.”
Be aware
Of the 24 payout conditions Goat Funded Trader publishes, these can cost you money or your account.
- Can end the accountShared device usage
Trading from a mobile or desktop device that is linked to more than one GFT user account disqualifies the trader from payout eligibility outright and can end the account.
Triggering this closes the account rather than delaying a payout.

“Traders are strictly prohibited from accessing or operating their account on any shared mobile or desktop device. Detection of account activity from a shared device, especially one linked to multiple user accounts will result in immediate disqualification from payout eligibility and may lead to account termination.”
Shared device usage - Can take profit you already madeSub-2-minute trades
On funded accounts, profit from any trade held under 120 seconds is stripped out of the payout calculation, while losses from the same trades are kept. Asymmetric: it only ever reduces the payout.
Profit you have already made is taken back rather than paid.
SourceHide source
“For funded accounts, any profit generated from trades that are open for less than 2 minutes (120 seconds) will be considered invalid and removed when a payout is requested. Any losses from trades that last less than 2 minutes will remain and are the trader's responsibility.”
What is the rule about trades lasting less than 2 minutes - Can end the accountProhibited trading practices
A long list including hedging (within, across and against other firms' accounts), martingale/grid recovery, HFT, gold arbitrage EAs, third-party or off-the-shelf EAs, latency and pricing-error exploitation, front-running, trade duplication between accounts, and switching strategy between evaluation and funded stage. Detection terminates participation and forfeits profits.
Triggering this closes the account rather than delaying a payout.

“If Goat Funded Trader detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading Practices, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any fees paid to Goat Funded Trader. ... we may close that account, in which case you will forfeit any profits therein.”
What are prohibited trading practices - Can take profit you already madeHigh-impact news window cap
Any trade opened or closed within 5 minutes either side of a red-folder news release can contribute at most 1% of the initial balance in profit; the excess is removed during account review. Applies to SL, TP and pending-order closes too.

“Any trade that is opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news release (marked with a red folder on ForexFactory.com or Myfxbook.com) can generate a maximum profit of 1% of the account's initial balance .”
Is news trading allowed - Can end the accountDiscretionary risk limitation
The firm can unilaterally impose a risk cap (for example 1% of initial balance per trade idea) on any account it judges to be taking excessive risk. Non-compliance after notification is an immediate breach and the account loses all reward entitlement.
Triggering this closes the account rather than delaying a payout.

“If a trader does not comply with these imposed risk restrictions after being notified, it will result in an immediate breach of the account. Accounts breached under these circumstances are ineligible for any rewards, and no further entitlements will be granted.”
Risk limitation policy - Can end the account30-day inactivity breach
No trade for 30 consecutive days breaches the account on both evaluation and funded stages. The account cannot be reinstated and the fee is not refunded, so any accrued profit is lost.
Triggering this closes the account rather than delaying a payout.

“If no trades are placed on your account for 30 consecutive days, it will be breached due to inactivity. This rule applies to both Evaluation and Simulated Funded Accounts. Once breached, the account cannot be reinstated, and the fee will not be refunded.”
