SCAM ALERT: Hidden Rules Designed to Steal Your Money! ​Stay away from Goat Funded Trader (GFT). This platform is a complete scam designed to trick traders and steal their funds using hidden rules. ​I recently purchased a $5K Instant Hero account. On my active trading dashboard, the Daily Drawdown limit was clearly displayed as 3% ($150). As a trader, I naturally managed my risk based on what was actively shown to me on the screen. ​However, my account was suddenly breached and permanently closed when my floating loss reached just -$51.93. When I contacted support, they suddenly brought up a strict 1% ($50) "Floating Loss Limit". ​The biggest scam here is that this 1% ($50) limit is NEVER shown on the active trading dashboard! They boldly display a $150 daily limit to give you a false sense of security, while secretly running a strict $50 limit in the background to automatically fail your account. It is a deliberate trap to make traders fail so they can collect the reset fees. ​When you question this deceptive dashboard, their support team just sends automated copy-paste replies and refuses to help. ​Do not trust their dashboard and do not give them your hard-earned money. They are not a transparent prop firm. Stay away!

I am deeply disappointed with how Goat Funded Trader handles daily drawdown limits. My account (#315322548) was breached due to "Daily Loss Limit" rules based on temporary floating equity, even though my total realized losses were well within the allowable 5% limit. Starting Balance for the Day: $96,685.00  Max 5% Daily Drawdown Limit: $4,834.25 (Floor: $91,850.75)  My Realized Closed Losses for the day: -$1,836.00 + -$1,816.50 + -$330.00 = -$3,982.50  As you can see, my actual realized loss was only $3,982.50, which is far below the $4,834.25 allowed daily limit. However, support confirmed that because my floating equity briefly dipped below the threshold before I closed the trade at a much better price, the system automatically breached my account!  Even if you manage your trades, recover equity, and close your positions safely above the daily limit, their automated system counts the temporary floating drawdown spike and terminates your account anyway!  This rigid and unforgiving floating equity breach rule acts as a trap for traders. Be extremely careful if you plan to trade with Goat Funded Trader—your closed trade total means nothing if equity spikes for even a second. Don’t wast time on GFT it’s a scam !

I am leaving this two-star review as a final warning for your compliance department to manually correct a massive technical failure. This is the second time this month that I have been defrauded by a different prop firm within this industry. These firms need to understand that the traders purchasing your accounts are real human beings. We have bills to pay, rent to cover, food to buy, and children to feed. We cannot be playing games wondering whether a prop firm will decide to honor our payouts or hide behind automated scripts. Your compliance team sent a generic template claiming my local device was magically shared with "50+ different accounts" belonging to multiple individuals, specifically listing a cluster starting with the prefix 514*****. I must have a football stadium inside my house, because my local MT5 system logs show exactly zero (0) instances or cached lines of this prefix. It is physically impossible for fifty external traders to map their sessions here without leaving a permanent hardware hash registry in MetaTrader. To make this circus even better, your script cited a connection on September 10th under account #414980993. This is a textbook data contamination glitch: my current active account (#414248354) was officially initialized on September 12th. You are literally penalizing me for a standard dynamic residential IP recycling (CGNAT) event in Portugal that happened two days before my account even existed! 100% of my 31 trades were executed strictly within my morning window (08:00 AM to 12:00 PM Portugal Time), while your fake flag triggered at 08:31 PM—10 hours after I closed the platform. Furthermore, under your official Payout Rules, you guarantee processing within 2 business days or a $1,000 USD compensation bonus for delayed rewards. Since my payout has been wrongfully cancelled and delayed over false data, I am officially demanding my $3,478.38 USD payout plus the $1,000 USD late compensation bonus due to these issues completely outside of my control. I will make this failure public in this exact thread if it is not paid. If this payout denial is definitively confirmed over these unscientific database errors, I will consider Goat Funded Trader—and this entire industry—as nothing more than a Ponzi scheme designed to pocket evaluation fees. I expect your system engineers to perform a manual review, acknowledge these forensic facts, and release my funds. If the generated payout and the due compensation are fully processed, I will make the appropriate rectification in this review. Otherwise, I will drop it to 1 star and expose this case with full log proofs across all trading communities. My Account ID: 414248354 Reply to Goat Funded 13/10/2026 Thank you for your reply. You have the details of your error in two emails I’ve sent you over the last few days from an email address other than the one linked to Trustpilot, which is the one linked to Goat Funded. I believe my explanations will be more than sufficient for me to receive my payment, as none of the reasons you’ve given for not making this payment correspond to what actually happened in my account. I am awaiting my payment; this is my profession and it is not a game to me. UPDATE 19/10/2026: After a desperate attempt to understand Goat Funded’s reasoning, I have considered the following possibility: my internet connection is provided via a Starlink satellite dish. If this is what triggered the false positives, I should note that, as of this morning, Goat Funded has received a new expert report confirming that the dish is located at my residence, has been in use for months, and is the source of my IP addresses. While this setup might occasionally cause technical conflicts, the report serves as further, unequivocal evidence of the transparency of my trading activity. This is my fourth—and final—attempt to reach out to the company; I am now awaiting their response. UPDATE 22/10/2026: Formal complaints have been filed with the relevant consumer protection agency in Hong Kong, as well as with the Hong Kong Police Force’s cybercrime unit. My complaints are directed against Wishes Tower International Limited and Edoardo Dalla Torre; they have also been referred to European authorities. By working together, we can succeed in preventing this fraud.

Not able to buy new accounts with you after being profitable. May be I got blocked.

delay in payouts plus profit split is very low it can ve 95 to 98 percent just like other competitive firms

UPDATE (3 days later): GoatFundedTrader publicly replied here on Trustpilot stating they would forward my case to the Risk Team for "further review and clarification." It has now been 3 days since that public reply, and I have received no follow-up email, no update, and no resolution directly from their team. For reference and verification: Account Number: 414601362 Withdrawal Request ID: 47595 Account purchased: 17 August 2026 Payout requested: 15 September 2026 This confirms the same pattern — public reassurance, no private follow-through. It has now been 3 days since your public response here stating you would forward my case to the Risk Team for "further review and clarification." I have received no follow-up email or update since then. This is consistent with the pattern I experienced over the past month — public reassurances with no actual private follow-through.

I have been trading a 100k funded account with this firm since June. I finally transformed my trading, kept strict risk management ($500 daily target/loss), and recovered from drawdown four separate times. I executed 157 manual trades independently. And their automated sytem flagged 29 trades for alleged copy trading. This means that nerly 82% of all my trading activity was proven to be 100% unique,organic and executed professionally by me alone, it makes absolutely no sense that i would independently trade 82% of the account with strict management, only use ‘help’ or coordinate for the remaining trades. Right before my very first major payout, they breached my account and rejected my payout, falsely accusing me of "coordinated group trading/copy trading." I trade strictly using the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) strategy. Because SMC is a highly precise, rule-based mechanical strategy, thousands of traders entry at the exact same institutional zones simultaneously, especially on Fridays. Their automated risk system is a cheap robot that creates massive false positives. While I understand some traders abuse the rules and use forbidden commercial bots, honest and serious manual traders who put in blood, sweat, and tears are the ones being victimized here. The compliance team completely refuses to perform a human manual review or reply to you’re proof. If you still decide to take a risk and buy a challenge here, MAKE SURE TO PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD. Their automated system will likely flag you when you earn a payout, but a credit card allows you to easily file a chargeback dispute at your bank for breach of contract. I have already initiated my full chargeback. Avoid this firm if you are a serious trader! Updated revieuw after the reply from goatfunded To clarify for the public and your team: the official violation email and the attached PDF report I received from your Risk Team ONLY mentioned automated copy-trading allegations regarding 29 trades. No other rules were breached. My daily drawdown, max drawdown, and consistency were completely perfect. If there were indeed 'multiple factors' or other violations as you claim here, they would have been explicitly listed in that official notice. This is not the case. I am deeply disappointed and angered by how this is being handled. I fought through four separate drawdowns to build this account and earn a payout of nearly $4,000. This is the direct result of my own intense, personal hard work,cannot and will not just let this go. A $4,000 payout is a significant amount of money to fight for.
