Goat Funded Trader Instant HERO

Simulated account

Per GFT all accounts are fully simulated demo accounts using quotes from liquidity providers; capital and profits are simulated (T&C clause 11.3). Per the FAQ GFT never issues real funds; trading data goes to a partner proprietary firm that may copy trades at its own discretion, and traders are compensated as independent contractors. The homepage advertises "real Rewards". The checkout catalogue internally calls the funded stage "Live Account".

3 %

from the higher of balance and equity at day start

Reset: 17:00 EST

a breach ends the account

3% below the higher of balance and equity at the daily 17:00 EST reset; fixed until the next reset. Hard breach.

5 % · trailing (intraday)

The floor follows the highest intraday equity, unrealised profit included.

Stops: Follows every new high of balance or equity intraday, never falls and stops at the initial balance. Resets after each payout.

Plus a 1% floating loss limit: if the floating loss of open positions reaches 1% (example: USD 500 on 50K), the account is closed.

≤ 15 % · best day ÷ total profit

payout waits until met

No single trading day may exceed 15% of total profit in the payout period. Not a breach: payout only once met. Example: best day USD 1'500 → total profit at least USD 10'000.

6 days

Day with at least one closed trade and at least 0.5% profit on the initial balance, net of fees and commissions (trading day 17:00–17:00 EST).
