Market data is included at no extra cost, but choosing TradeSea adds $15 at checkout and the promo code does not cover it (full CME bundle on CQG, CME on DxFeed with COMEX on request, or TickBlaze Market Data; TradeSea is its own provider with the full CME bundle (L1); its login is a Rithmic login that also works on Sierra Chart and R|Trader Pro) and the provider cannot be changed after purchase.
NinjaTrader and Tradovate are unavailable in 67 further countries on top of the firm-wide restricted list
EOD, 1-Day-Pass, Instant Classic and FLEX document no daily profit cap anywhere on the firm's own surfaces
Winning day = >=0.2% net P&L on EOD/1-Day-Pass/Instant Classic, but FLEX demands 2.5x more on the smallest size: $250 (0.5%) on 50K, $400 (0.4%) on 100K, $450 (0.3%) on 150K
FLEX and GOAT Access are exempt from the 2-min rule but at every payout request must have BOTH >=50% of closed trades AND >=50% of net profit from trades held over 1 minute - miss either and the payout is declined and all sub-1-minute profit in that cycle is deducted.
Tick scalping is banned on every plan including FLEX
A breached FUNDED account can be reset only on EOD 50K ($499 1st / $599 2nd) and EOD 100K ($599 / $699), at most twice and only before the first approved payout - EOD 150K, 1-Day-Pass, FLEX, GOAT Daily and Instant funded accounts cannot be reset
(2) breaching a live account (cumulative losses reach the full static drawdown from your $0 start) closes it permanently and starts a 21-DAY COOLDOWN in which you cannot trade new GFF accounts, buy evaluations or request payouts
We carry the plan article's lower figures - assume the stricter numbers until the firm reconciles them
Once FUNDED its drawdown switches from end-of-day to INTRADAY trailing (tracks open equity in real time), and the daily loss limit is soft only twice: the third hit in any rolling 30 days closes the account.
The 24-hour payouts are capped per request ($650 on 25K up to $2,500 on 150K) above a buffer that never becomes withdrawable, each request must be at least 50% new profit since the last payout, and 3% is deducted from every payout as a processing fee
Checkout runs on app.goatfundedtrader.com?workspace=futures. GOAT Access is the exception: it is sold on a separate store (access.goatfundedfutures.com) and coupons never apply to it
$39 to start, $99 activation after you pass, reset $39, and coupons never apply.
Its drawdown locks at $50,100 (starting balance + $100), high-impact news is banned in the evaluation too, and payouts are weekly at $500-$1,500 above a $2,100 buffer with a 35% funded consistency rule.

AUTUMN50 is back on the firm's banner (2 November 2026, after the 55% Halloween code ended; no end date published): 50% off every plan except GOAT Access, and every pricing-card checkout link carries it. With it, EOD 50K at $69 (from $138) is the cheapest way to a funded account.
The new GOAT Access 50K costs only $39 to start, but it never takes a code and adds a $99 activation once you pass ($138 in total), so it only saves money if you fail.
1-Day-Pass 25K at $79 skips the evaluation consistency rule, and EOD and 1-Day-Pass both start at 80/20 with a paid 90/10 add-on. The cheapest no-evaluation seat is Instant Lite 25K at $182 - 90/10 from the first payout - but EAs are banned on it.
FLEX can be bought with an optional daily loss limit for less (50K $79 vs $119), but that limit closes the account on the first hit.
GOAT Daily 25K at $89 is the only plan with a payout request every 24 hours - but it goes intraday-trailing once funded and caps each payout at $650 on that size.
