Goat Funded Trader Profit Target, by Account Size
Rules verified 2026-07-12 · official source
Goat Funded Trader's evaluation target is $5,000 on the 50K 2-Step Standard (scaling with size). Hitting the number isn't passing — drawdown still gate the pass.
The target is the easy half
Most failed evaluations don't die short of the target — they die AFTER touching it, giving profit back into the drawdown line while finishing the remaining requirements. Treat the target as the midpoint, not the finish line.
Once you're near it, the play is defense: smaller size, wider spacing, and knowing your exact distance to the static (fixed line, never moves) line.
| Plan | Phase 1 | Phase 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 50K 2-Step Standard | $5,000 | $2,500 |
| 100K 2-Step Standard | $10,000 | $5,000 |
How traders actually breach it
The classic post-target failure: doubling size to finish fast, then donating the cushion back. The target doesn't bank until every other rule clears.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.
