Goat Funded Trader
Hong Kongwww.goatfundedtrader.com
Goat Funded Trader offers a broad range of Instant, 1-Step, and 2-Step funding options, multiple trading platforms, and access to a wide selection of CFD assets. Its platform coverage is particularly strong, with MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker available. The firm also offers relatively high profit splits, including 90% on selected Instant programs, structured scaling, and flexible payout schedules. Overnight and weekend trading are permitted, while EAs and trader-owned-account copy trading are supported under specific conditions. The main drawbacks are the firm's strict risk controls, restrictions on third-party EAs, hedging and external copy trading, special treatment of high-impact news trades, early payout caps, a 2% processing fee, and the Goat Guard mechanism on eligible funded accounts. Best suited for traders looking for Instant, 1-Step, or 2-Step funding with broad platform and asset coverage who are comfortable with detailed risk-management rules.
