Everything you need to clear a Goat Funded Trader evaluation — the drawdown, daily loss, consistency and minimum-day rules — and a free way to check whether your trading is actually ready before you pay the fee.
Goat Funded Trader runs a static (fixed) maximum drawdown — the loss limit is measured from your starting balance and does not move as you profit, which is the most forgiving type to manage. Getting the drawdown maths wrong is one of the most common reasons traders fail an evaluation, so it pays to know exactly how yours is measured before you start.
To clear Goat Funded Trader you need to respect a daily loss limit of 5% of your account, stay within the 10% maximum drawdown, satisfy no published consistency rule, so your profit can come from a small number of strong days, and complete a minimum of 3 days of trading activity before you can request a payout/funded account. Most failed challenges come down to one or two of these rules — usually the drawdown type and the consistency requirement — rather than a lack of profitability.
Traxent bakes Goat Funded Trader's published rules into a readiness score. Log your trades (or practise in the sim journal) and Traxent tells you, rule by rule, whether you'd currently pass — and which of at least 16 firms you track fits your style best.
