Goat Funded Futures
Hong Kongwww.goatfundedfutures.com
Goat Funded Futures is a Hong Kong-based futures proprietary trading firm established in November 2024, offering 1-Step (Goat Daily, Flex) and Instant (Instant Lite) funding programs with account sizes ranging from $25K to $150K in the supplied challenge listings, alongside EOD, 1-Day Pass, and Instant Classic programs described in the rules but not priced in the supplied data. One of its strongest advantages is its unusually broad platform selection, including TradingView, NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Quantower, Tickblaze, ATAS, Volumetrica Trading, Deepmap, and Deepcharts. The firm offers up to 90% profit sharing, with Instant Classic paying 100% of the first $10,000 in profit. EAs and personal automated strategies are permitted on EOD, 1-Day Pass, Flex, and Instant Classic accounts, subject to anti-exploitation rules, and copy trading between accounts owned by the same trader is allowed. The main considerations are the firm's extensive prohibited-strategy rules, a 7-day inactivity requirement, consistency requirements that vary substantially by program, restricted funded-stage news trading, daily position-closing requirements, microscalping restrictions, and materially different payout rules across its six programs.

- 1-Day Pass: funded single-day profit cannot exceed 35%; no evaluation consistency rule

- Copy trading is permitted between accounts owned by the same trader, including across different firms or brokers subject to program rules; Goat Daily copying is limited to the trader's own Goat Daily accounts; copying another trader's positions or signals is prohibited
- News trading is unrestricted during challenges; on funded accounts, a 2-minute window before and after high-impact news releases restricts opening, closing, or triggering pending orders, with profits from trades executed in that window deducted from the payout request
- Trades closed within 2 minutes are treated as microscalping and related profits may be deducted; Flex has a separate payout test requiring at least 50% of closed trades and 50% of net profit to come from trades held over 1 minute
- Inactivity: at least one trade must be placed every 7 days; 7 consecutive days without a trade results in an account breach and closure

- Restricted
News trading is unrestricted during challenges. On funded accounts, a 2-minute window before and after high-impact news releases restricts opening, closing, or triggering pending orders; positions opened before the window may remain open through the release, but profits from orders executed during the restricted window are deducted from the payout request.
