Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: On a $15,000 account, traders must generate $1,500 in Phase 1 and $750 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 5% (dynamic): Calculated as 5% of the current higher balance or equity at 5:00 PM EST. Starting from initial balance, approximately $750 on a $15,000 account.
Maximum drawdown of 10% static: The absolute floor is $13,500 on a $15,000 account.
Static drawdown model: Maximum drawdown from initial balance; daily limit is dynamic.
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.
5% dynamic vs 4% fixed: The Standard's dynamic 5% daily limit offers approximately $750 of daily breathing room at $15,000, compared to the GOAT model's fixed $600. As profits accumulate, the Standard's limit grows while the GOAT's stays fixed — giving the Standard a meaningful advantage on strong trading days.
Phase 2 at just 5% ($750): The Standard's Phase 2 is the most accessible of the three 2-step models. After a successful Phase 1, a trader only needs to generate $750 with the same 10% drawdown buffer intact, making it a relatively low-pressure final evaluation step.

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.
