Goat Funded Trader: 50% Off Entry Fee and BOGO on Payout for 5 Days

AVOID!!! this broker is dubious. I deposited with ease, I traded, made enough profits but when I requested for payouts, It was denied without reason and their support kept mute to my complaints. Ever since I switched to VINE HASH. I have never been denied payouts for once.

I really don’t know why this prop treats traders efforts to waste
I purchased a $25k 1step Account
I was up about $1,200 then I lost some of the profits to the market that morning my phone battery was about to go off and I was on a trade I set my stop loss incase the trade goes against me
Later in the night when I charged my phone I found out goatfunded traders opened a position in my account without my permission
And that trade end up in a loss
I lost that account because of it
Who gave them the right to open a trade are they supposed to do that?
Till today nothing has been done to compensate me
Like so many things this firm has done to me I can’t believe would happen to me
This is the Account number: 514558867

Update: The risk team, using the same automated message as before—stating that their decision is final and irreversible—has once again refused to issue my payment, despite the fact that I am in the right and have provided thousands of pieces of evidence. It’s not even about the payment anymore. My account has been shut down. They’ve gone ahead and closed my account, too.
I am writing this review to publicly share my extremely disappointing experience with Goat Funded Trader (GFT).
On September 26, 2026, I purchased TWO $100,000 Premium Instant Funding accounts. Both accounts belonged to me, and I personally managed every trading decision.
On October 8, I requested payouts from both accounts.
✅ Account ending in 315258452: My $4,656 payout was APPROVED and PAID.
❌ Account ending in 315258451: My payout was REJECTED, and my $100,000 funded account was TERMINATED.
Approximately 90% of the trades across these two accounts were identical or highly similar.
GFT accused me of "coordinated group trading" with unrelated traders. I strongly deny this allegation. I have never knowingly participated in a trading group, copied another trader's signals, or coordinated my entries and exits with anyone else.
I understand that GFT may assess accounts individually. However, they have still failed to explain what specific technical evidence supposedly proves that account 451 violated their rules while account 452 did not.
**MY TRADING STRATEGY WAS IGNORED**
I trade XAUUSD using price action, liquidity sweeps, and predetermined price levels. I frequently place Buy Limit orders hours before they are executed.
For example, my documented trading records show:
• September 30: XAUUSD Buy Limit placed at 20:48:25, executed on October 1 at 03:19:02 — approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes later.
• October 6: XAUUSD Buy Limit placed at 03:40:47, executed at 05:35:14 — approximately 1 hour and 54 minutes later.
These records are from my other personally managed account. I have asked GFT to examine the corresponding server-side order creation timestamps on my terminated account.
Similar execution times do not automatically prove that traders coordinated their decisions. Pending orders may execute simultaneously when the market reaches predetermined prices.
**THE RISK TEAM'S ACCUSATION RAISES QUESTIONS**
Their original email alleged 11 matching trades with other traders. However, the breakdown provided listed 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 matches.
I asked GFT to explain this discrepancy and identify the actual trades and technical criteria used to conclude that I violated their policies.
Instead, I have received general statements about their internal risk assessments, without a trade-specific explanation.
**MY BIGGEST PROBLEM: THE RISK TEAM DOES NOT RESPOND**
I submitted an appeal and supporting evidence to GFT's Risk Team.
I waited for a meaningful response.
Nothing.
I updated my previous Trustpilot review with further questions and evidence, but I have not received a substantive answer to those questions.
Meanwhile, GFT's public responses repeatedly tell me to contact the Risk Team and wait.
**I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT!**
Their support team even told me that without sufficient evidence or a concrete reason, receiving a response from Risk Management would be unlikely.
I provided my evidence. I explained my case. I followed their appeal procedure.
**HOW LONG AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT WITHOUT AN ACTUAL RESPONSE?**
My terminated account is also restricted, making it difficult to access the full trading records needed to defend myself. GFT still possesses the original server logs.
I am not requesting confidential information about other traders. I am requesting a fair investigation and a clear explanation of the evidence against my account.
**WHAT I WANT FROM GOAT FUNDED TRADER**
1. A real response from the Risk Team to my existing appeal.
2. An independent examination of my terminated account's original pending-order records.
3. A specific explanation of the alleged coordinated trades and the evidence supporting the decision.
4. Reinstatement of my funded account and reconsideration of my rejected payout if the alleged violation cannot be substantiated.
I am not asking for special treatment.
I am asking for transparency, fairness, and accountability.
**GFT PAID ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS, TERMINATED THE OTHER, AND STILL HAS NOT PROVIDED A SATISFACTORY TECHNICAL EXPLANATION.**
Until this matter is properly reviewed and resolved, I cannot recommend Goat Funded Trader to other traders.
**PLEASE STOP REPEATING GENERIC RESPONSES AND ACTUALLY ADDRESS MY APPEAL.**
