Goat Funded Futures (GFF) describes itself as a futures proprietary trading firm that provides simulated funded accounts to trade futures listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT. Its website footer names it as a trade name of WITI LIMITED (77146639), a company registered in Hong Kong.
The help centre lists six plans: the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex Challenge and Daily Payouts (one-phase evaluations), and Instant Classic and Instant Lite (no evaluation). All six are a one-time fee, with no monthly subscription. The help centre says no plan charges an activation fee. Trading takes place in a simulated environment; the firm says real payouts are based on simulated performance.
Rules differ a lot by plan: drawdown type, daily loss limits, consistency rules, holding-time rules, news rules, automated trading and payout timing all change. We use the individual plan articles in the help centre as our main source, as they are the most specific.
Everything in this review comes from Goat Funded Futures' own web pages, saved on 7–9 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.

| Plan | Sizes | Price shown (one-time) | Profit target | Max drawdown | Profit split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EOD Challenge | 50K / 100K / 150K | $69 (from $138) / $132 (from $264) / $185 (from $370) | 6% | $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 | 80/20; 90/10 add-on |
| 1-Day-Pass-Plan | 25K / 50K / 100K | $79 (from $158) / $109 (from $218) / $179 (from $358) | 6% | $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 | 80/20; 90/10 add-on |
| Flex Challenge | 50K / 100K / 150K | $109 (from $218) / $169 (from $338) / $309 (from $618) | 6% | $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 | 80/20; 90/10 add-on |
| Daily Payouts | 25K / 50K / 100K / 150K | $89 (from $178) / $119 (from $238) / $189 (from $378) / $269 (from $538) | 6% | $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 | 90/10 from the first payout |
| Instant Classic | 25K / 50K / 100K / 150K | $192 (from $384) / $277 (from $554) / $489 (from $978) / $624 (from $1,248) | No evaluation; 7% growth before the first payout | $1,250 / $2,500 / $5,000 / $7,500 | 100% of the first $10,000 in payouts, then 90% |
| Instant Lite | 25K / 50K / 100K | $182 / $229 / $369 | No evaluation; first payout target $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,500 | $1,000 / $1,750 / $3,000 | 90/10 from the first payout |
Drawdown figures are the maximum trailing drawdown for each size, in the order of the sizes listed.
The 90/10 add-on on the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex Challenge costs an extra 20% of the challenge price. The Flex page gives the add-on as +$21.80 on the 50K, +$33.80 on the 100K and +$61.80 on the 150K. The payouts article gives different Flex examples, based on challenge prices of $95, $149 and $289; we used the Flex page.
Evaluation plans offer two resets per evaluation at the reset prices listed on each plan page, for example $59 on the EOD 50K and $109 on the Daily Payouts 50K. Instant Classic and Instant Lite accounts cannot be reset.
There is no time limit to pass on the EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Daily Payouts evaluations, but every account must place at least one trade every 7 days or it is breached. The EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex pages say there is no minimum number of trading days to pass. Daily Payouts has a 40% consistency rule in the evaluation, which the firm says in practice means spreading profit across at least three trading days. Plans cannot be converted or upgraded after purchase. Checkout offers multi-account bundles at a lower price per account.
All plans use a trailing maximum drawdown that stops trailing at a lock point: the starting balance on most plans, and the starting balance plus $100 on Daily Payouts and Instant Lite. The EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Lite use end-of-day trailing, as does the Daily Payouts evaluation. Instant Classic and funded Daily Payouts accounts trail intraday, on highest equity including open positions. Breaching the maximum drawdown closes the account. The drawdown article's Instant Classic example uses a $2,000 drawdown on a 50K account, while the Instant Classic page lists $2,500 (5%); we used the plan page.
| Plan | Daily loss limit | Consistency (evaluation / funded) | Holding-time rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| EOD Challenge | None in evaluation; 2.5% funded (soft breach) | 50% / 30% | 2-minute microscalping deduction |
| 1-Day-Pass-Plan | 2.4% (25K), 2% (50K, 100K) in both phases (soft pause) | None / 35% | 2-minute microscalping deduction |
| Flex Challenge | None in either phase | 50% / none | 1-minute rule checked at payout |
| Daily Payouts | 2% (25K, 50K), 1.5% (100K, 150K) in both phases; a third hit within a rolling 30 days closes the account | 40% / none | 60-second rule checked at payout |
| Instant Classic | 3% (soft breach) | No evaluation / 20% | 2-minute microscalping deduction |
| Instant Lite | None (25K), 2% (50K, 100K); three hits closes the account | No evaluation / 15%, then 20%, then 25% from the third payout | 2-minute microscalping deduction |
Except where the table says otherwise, hitting the daily loss limit is a soft breach: open positions are closed and the account is paused until the next trading day. The consistency rule caps the share of total profit that may come from your best day; going over it does not close the account, it delays the pass or payout until you are back under the threshold.
Under the 2-minute microscalping rule, profit from trades closed within 2 minutes of opening is deducted, but the trade is not a breach. On Flex, at each payout request at least 50% of closed trades and 50% of net profit must come from trades held longer than 1 minute, or the request is declined and the sub-1-minute profit deducted (one section of the trading-rules page says this applies to Flex accounts created after 21 July). On Daily Payouts, at least 50% of net profit since the last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds.
Contract limits are fixed per size, for example 5 minis / 50 micros on the EOD 50K, 3 minis / 30 micros on the Flex 50K and 4 minis / 40 micros on the Daily Payouts 50K.
Overnight and weekend holding are not permitted on any plan; open positions are closed automatically at 15:55 CT. The Instant Lite page instead gives a force-close time of 4:45 PM EST.
News: in the evaluation, the EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex plans have no news restriction, while Daily Payouts applies a 2-minute buffer. On all funded accounts you cannot open, close or trigger pending orders from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after a scheduled high-impact release; positions opened before the window may be held through it. The same trading-rules page also says there are no news restrictions during an evaluation, which does not match the Daily Payouts rule; we used the plan pages. An older section of the same page says closing a position inside the window is allowed; the plan pages and the newer news section say it is not, and we used those.
Gap trading around market closures and re-openings, and around earnings or major company announcements, is prohibited. The trading-rules article lists as prohibited: arbitrage of any kind, market manipulation and spoofing, HFT systems, tick scalping, bulk order entry and volume inflation. Disproportionate all-in bets and erratic position sizing may be treated as gambling.
Your own automated strategies and EAs are allowed on the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic, if they do not exploit latency, data feed anomalies or system vulnerabilities. Daily Payouts and Instant Lite are manual-only: bots, EAs and automated strategies are not permitted, nor are grid, martingale or high-frequency strategies.
You may copy your own trades across your own GFF accounts and accounts you hold elsewhere; on Daily Payouts, copying is allowed only between your own Daily Payouts accounts. Instant Lite allows copy trading within the same program and account size, across a maximum of 3 accounts. Copying other people's trades or signals is prohibited.
VPS, cloud machines and remote-desktop access are banned on evaluation and funded accounts. Members of your immediate family or household may not hold GFF accounts at the same time as you.
The EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic take payout requests only in two monthly windows: the 5th to 8th and the 20th to 23rd. Daily Payouts has no windows: the first request is available 24 hours after your first funded trade, then one every 24 hours. The minimum payout on every plan is $500. A 3% processing fee is deducted from all payouts. GFF says it processes requests within two business days, and Daily Payouts requests within 48 hours; payouts go through Rise (Riseworks). Its homepage advertises "Paid in 2 business days or an extra $500".
| Plan (50K funded) | Before a request | Maximum request |
|---|---|---|
| EOD Challenge | 7 winning days (0.2% of starting balance each) | 50% of profit, capped at $1,500 rising to $2,750 from the 4th payout |
| 1-Day-Pass-Plan | 5 winning days (0.2% each) | 50% of profit, capped at $1,500 rising to $2,500 from the 4th payout |
| Flex Challenge | 5 winning days ($250 each on the 50K) | 50% of profit, up to $2,000 |
| Instant Classic | 7 winning days; first payout also needs 10 calendar days and 7% growth | $2,000 per cycle |
| Daily Payouts | No winning days; every 24 hours, once the balance is at least $52,100 (a $2,100 profit buffer) | $1,000 per request |
| Instant Lite | Reach the payout target and meet the consistency rule | $2,000 per payout |
For accounts created after 7 August 2026, from the second payout at least 50% of each request must be new profit made since the previous approved payout; on Daily Payouts this applies to every request. After the first Instant Classic payout, you must also surpass your previous equity high before requesting again. Payouts do not move the drawdown floor, so once it has locked at the starting balance, withdrawing down to that level leaves no room; the firm advises keeping a buffer. KYC is required: on the EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex plans before the funded stage, and on Instant Classic and Daily Payouts before the first payout.
The help centre describes a Path to Live programme in which the risk team selects funded traders for a live account with a 90% split and a static drawdown; there is no public threshold to qualify. The page's launch section, dated 17 August 2026, said the live environment was expected to go live in Summer 2026; we could not confirm from the saved pages whether it has launched. Unpaid profit on the sim account does not carry over when you move to live.
The Daily Payouts and Instant Lite pages say these plans have full contract limits from day one and no scaling plan. A points-based rewards programme lists perks such as a +10% account size increase, a +5% profit split on the next withdrawal and free challenge accounts.
The platforms article lists NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView (via Tradovate) on the CQG feed; TickBlaze on TickBlaze Market Data; and Quantower, ATAS, Volumetrica, DeepCharts and DeepMap on dxFeed. The data provider cannot be changed after purchase. Platform lists on individual plan pages are shorter and vary. NinjaTrader and Tradovate are not available in a further list of countries.
GFF says it covers top-of-book market data; L2 data is not currently provided. A free ATAS licence is provided with a challenge. Commissions are charged in the simulated environment; the homepage instrument list shows per-side fees, for example $2.88 on ES and $0.95 on MES.
Tradeable products are futures listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT, such as ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC, SI and ZB. The homepage instrument list also includes currency futures and Bitcoin and Ether futures. At the same time, the help centre says GFF does not support stocks, options, forex or cryptocurrency, and the site footer says forex and cryptocurrency are outside the scope of its programmes. The Daily Payouts and Instant Lite articles do list FX futures among their instruments, but no plan article mentions crypto futures; ask the firm before trading the crypto futures listed. The help centre points traders who want CFDs to its CFD prop firm at goatfundedtrader.com.
The Terms and Conditions name GoatFundedFutures as a trade name of WITI LIMITED (77146639), a company registered in Hong Kong. The site says the company is not a financial broker or advisor and does not accept client deposits. You must be at least 18.
The refund policy says there are no refunds on any services, and the billing FAQ says challenge fees are non-refundable once the account has been provisioned. The Path to Live page is an exception: sim accounts that have not taken a payout are closed and their fee refunded when a trader moves to live.
The help centre publishes a list of fully restricted countries, including Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, Singapore, South Korea and Turkey. You can hold up to 5 funded accounts on each of the EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Daily Payouts plans and up to 3 on Instant Classic, with no limit on evaluation accounts.
Support is offered by live chat and email, which the firm says run 24/7.
MyPropGenius Rating:
The rating measures how openly Goat Funded Futures discloses its rules, pricing, payouts and ownership (our Transparency Index methodology). It does not measure how likely you are to pass or be paid.
The footer gives the entity, its Hong Kong registration number and jurisdiction, with CFTC 4.41 and hypothetical-performance disclosures. The payouts page and Terms describe the accounts as simulated. A dedicated Refund Policy page states clearly that there are no refunds and why, and the Terms say the same, so there is no conflict. The payouts page shows a brand-wide total, a 'top earners' list and recent reward amounts with first names, but no dates. The earliest Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) copy of its homepage is from 20 Jun 2024, but the About page dates the start of its futures service to 2025 without a month, so we cannot confirm a full year of operation.
Its Transparency Index score is 59/100 (Mixed). We do not verify payouts or test accounts; this is what the firm’s own pages show.

Goat Funded Futures sells six one-time-fee futures plans on simulated accounts, from one-phase evaluations to no-evaluation Instant accounts. The rules differ sharply by plan, especially on drawdown type, daily loss limits, holding time, automation and payout timing, so read the help-centre article for the plan you choose before buying. Day traders who accept intraday-only holding, the payout windows and caps, and the 3% payout fee will find the terms set out in detail.

No. The help centre says all six plans are a one-time fee and no GFF product has a monthly subscription.
It depends on the plan: 80/20 by default on the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex (90/10 with a paid add-on), 90/10 from the first payout on Daily Payouts and Instant Lite, and 100% of the first $10,000 then 90% on Instant Classic.
No. Overnight and weekend holding are not permitted on any plan. Open positions are closed automatically at 15:55 CT (the Instant Lite page gives 4:45 PM EST).
Your own EAs are allowed on the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic. Daily Payouts and Instant Lite are manual only.
On the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Classic, in two monthly windows (5th to 8th and 20th to 23rd) once eligible. On Daily Payouts, every 24 hours once funded.
No time limit on the EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Daily Payouts evaluations, but you must trade at least once every 7 days or the account is breached.
