Additional Rules
Three-phase evaluation: On a $25,000 account, traders must generate $1,500 in closed profits per phase while respecting all drawdown rules throughout each phase independently.
No minimum trading days in evaluation: The 3-Step challenge does not impose any minimum number of profitable trading days during evaluation.
Minimum trading days in funded stage: At least 3 valid trading days required before each payout, with a minimum profit of 0.5% per day ($125 on a $25,000 account). Resets after each payout.
Daily loss limit of 4%: On a $25,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $1,000. The threshold is calculated at 5:00 PM EST and stays fixed in dollar terms based on the initial account size.
Maximum drawdown of 8% static: The absolute floor is $23,000. Breach occurs if equity or balance reaches this level at any point including floating losses.
Static drawdown model: Both limits are calculated from the initial account balance and do not move with profits.
Leverage: Up to 1:100 Forex in evaluation, 1:50 in funded. Indices and Commodities 1:20 in evaluation, 1:10 in funded. Crypto 1:2 throughout.
Profit split: 80% default, with 100% split and on-demand first reward available as add-ons.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly. First 2 payouts capped at 6% of initial balance ($1,500) or $10,000, whichever is lower.
Daily profit cap in funded stage: $3,000 per day. Excess is deducted, no breach triggered.
News trading: Permitted with a 1% profit cap ($250) per high-impact news event within the 5-minute window.
EAs allowed with restrictions: Own-code EAs permitted. HFT, arbitrage, and commercial challenge-passing EAs prohibited. Copy trading banned.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted across all phases and the funded stage.
Three-phase commitment and over-trading risk: With no minimum days in evaluation, the temptation to force targets in a single session is high. On a $25,000 account the $1,000 daily limit can be reached quickly with standard lot sizes, making disciplined session management essential.
1% news cap asymmetry: Losses from news-window trades count in full while gains are capped at $250 on a $25,000 account.
Reaching Level 4 GOAT requires significant commitment: 6 months funded and 15 payouts represent a minimum of 7.5 months of total activity, requiring sustained consistency well before the most attractive benefits are accessible.
