Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: On a $15,000 account, traders must generate $1,200 in Phase 1 and $600 in Phase 2 in closed profits while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 valid trading days in each phase and per payout cycle. Minimum profit of 0.5% ($75) per qualifying day.
Daily loss limit of 4% (fixed on initial): On a $15,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $600.
Maximum drawdown of 8% static: The absolute floor is $13,800 on a $15,000 account.
Static drawdown model: Both limits are calculated from the initial account balance.
Leverage: 1:100 Forex in evaluation, 1:50 in funded. Indices/Commodities 1:20 / 1:10. Crypto 1:2.
Profit split: 80% default, 100% and on-demand first reward available as add-ons.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly. First 2 payouts capped at 6% ($900) or $10,000, whichever is lower.
Daily profit cap: $3,000 in funded stage.
News trading: In funded, 1% profit cap ($150) per news event.
EAs allowed with restrictions. Copy trading banned. Weekend/overnight holding permitted.
PRO's 8% max drawdown versus GOAT's 10%: At $15,000, the PRO offers $1,200 of total drawdown versus $1,500 on the GOAT. The trade-off is a lower Phase 2 target (4%/$600 vs 6%/$900) — suitable for traders who want the smallest Phase 2 requirement even at the cost of a tighter total buffer.
4% daily limit equals Phase 2 target in dollar terms: On a $15,000 account, the daily limit ($600) equals the Phase 2 target ($600). A single maximum loss day during Phase 2 forces a complete restart of Phase 2, with no buffer for recovery.

Scaling Plan

Level 1 capital boost: After 2 months in the funded phase and 4 successful payouts, the account balance increases by 15%, profit split rises to 90%, and both drawdown limits increase by 1%.
Level 2 progression: After 4 months in the funded phase and 6 successful payouts, the capital boost increases to 30%, drawdown limits increase by 2%, and payout frequency upgrades to weekly.
Level 3 consistency reward: After 5 months in the funded phase and 10 successful payouts, the capital boost reaches 40%, profit split rises to 92%, drawdown limits increase by 3%, weekly payouts continue, a free challenge replacement is unlocked, and a monthly salary of $300 applies.
Level 4 GOAT Trader status: After 6 months in the funded phase and 15 successful payouts, the capital boost reaches 50%, profit split rises to 95%, drawdown limits increase by 4%, and total capital can reach up to $2,000,000.
Scale-ups based on original account size: All scaling increases are calculated from the original account size.
Performance-based eligibility: All scaling milestones require the required funded months and payouts with consistent trading rule adherence.
