What it means for a trader
Goat Funded Trader's single program models a 6% static drawdown floor. A 3% daily loss limit applies.
Worked example: on the $2.5K GOAT (1-Step Challenge) account, the drawdown floor sits at a hard $150 and a single day cannot lose more than $75 before the account fails — both figures read straight off this program’s own rule file for this size. (see the freshness note above)
