Additional Rules
Two-phase evaluation: On a $25,000 account, traders must generate $2,500 in Phase 1 and $1,250 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% ($125) per qualifying day.
Daily loss limit of 5% (dynamic): Calculated as 5% of the current higher balance or equity. Starting from initial balance, approximately $1,250 on a $25,000 account.
Maximum drawdown of 10% static: The absolute floor is $22,500 on a $25,000 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% ($1,500) or $10,000, whichever is lower.
Daily profit cap: $3,000 in funded stage.
News trading: In funded, 1% profit cap ($250) per news event.
EAs allowed with restrictions. Copy trading banned. Weekend/overnight holding permitted.
5% dynamic daily provides the most generous daily limit at this size: Compared to the GOAT model's fixed $1,000 daily limit, the Standard starts at $1,250 and grows as the account profits. Traders who run higher intraday exposure will find the Standard's daily limit meaningfully more forgiving.
Phase 1 at 10% ($2,500) is the highest Phase 1 target of any 2-step model: The Standard demands more from Phase 1 than both the GOAT (8%) and PRO (8%), requiring a greater initial profit run before advancing. The lower Phase 2 (5%) compensates, but Phase 1 still represents the highest single-phase challenge bar in GFT's 2-step lineup.
