Goat Funded Trader — Verification Record

This is the complete, dated record of every independent verification pass this corpus has run against Goat Funded Trader's own published rules, beyond the initial read: what was checked, what the check found, what changed, and what was preserved for the record even where two readings disagreed. See how a number gets checked twice for the method behind every entry below.

  Live primary source recheck

  Field-by-field: 6 confirmed · 2 corrected · 1 noted (9 fields touched this pass).

  Live primary-source re-check of the GOAT 1-Step model help-center article. FOUND Correction: Daily Drawdown Limit 4% -> 3% for accounts purchased from 2026-08-01 onward (pre-2026-08-01 grandfathered at 4%); amount_abs recomputed to 3% of each account size. NEWLY SOURCED: payout.cycle_days = 14 ('Payout Cycle: Bi-weekly (Every 14 days)'). RE-CONFIRMED UNCorrection: profit target 10%, min trading days 3, profit split 80%, static max drawdown 6%, max_drawdown.type static, daily on_breach fail, reset 5:00 PM EST. The firm's /model marketing table still lags at 4%; the dated help-center article is controlling.

  Two independent readers, each working blind to the other’s output and to the stored value

  Field-by-field: 14 confirmed (14 fields touched this pass).

  Two independent blind readers sourced the GOAT 1-Step Challenge model (the firm's own "Most Popular" badge among its evaluation lineup, per /model). CONFIRMED across every size in the ladder ($2,500 through $400,000): 10% profit target, 4% Daily Drawdown Limit (dynamic — recomputed each day as 4% of the higher of the prior day's balance or equity, snapshotted at 5:00 PM EST, NOT a fixed dollar amount off the initial balance), 6% Max Overall Loss (static, anchored to initial/starting capital, never trails upward, "must never drop below 94% of your starting capital"), immediate account closure on either hard breach, 3 minimum trading days, NO consistency/best-day rule at either the Evaluation or Funded stage, 80% profit split. The two readers' quote TEXT differed in wording at several fields (profit_target, daily_loss_basis, daily_loss_on_breach, max_drawdown_basis/anchor/locks, consistency) but the underlying VALUES agreed in every case — evaluated field-by-field and judged genuine agreement, not conflict, per this corpus's own >=2-distinct-candidates rule for ambiguities[]; none of those wording-only differences were promoted to ambiguities[] (see each field's provenance.reasoning for the specific judgment call). The $100,000 size's own worked examples were used to hand-derive this firm's golden vector (rules/goat-funded-trader/golden/): the Max Overall Loss worked example ("$100,000 X 6% = $6,000, $100,000 - $6,000 = $94,000") is clean and internally consistent; the companion Daily Drawdown Limit worked example on the same page ("Threshold = ($107,000 x 4%) = $4,280, $107,000 - $4000 = $102,720") is internally arithmetic-inconsistent as published ($4,280 vs $4,000) and uses illustrative $105K/$107K figures outside this account-size ladder, so it was NOT used as a golden-vector source (reported in provenance for completeness only).
