Funded:

• 2-minute buffer around high-impact news. No opening, closing, or triggering pending orders within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled release. If a position was opened before the 2-minute pre-news window began, you are permitted to hold it through the event. If you execute an order within the restricted timeframe, any profits generated will be deducted upon payout request.

Expert Advisors

• Personal automated strategies and EAs are allowed on EOD, One Day Pass, Flex and Instant Classic, as long as they are consistent with your trading style and do not exploit system vulnerabilities, latency, or data feed anomalies. Strategies designed to manipulate the simulated environment rather than reflect genuine market trading are prohibited. Instant Lite: bots and Expert Advisors are not permitted. Instant Lite is a manual trading product.

VPS

• VPS, cloud-hosted machines and remote servers are prohibited in evaluation and funded accounts.

Copy Trading

• Copy trading is allowed between accounts owned by the same person, including across different firms or brokers, subject to each program’s limits. Goat Daily permits copying only between your own Goat Daily accounts. Copy trading between different individuals is strictly prohibited. Instant Lite: copy trading is permitted only within Instant Lite, same account size, across a maximum of 3 accounts.

Trading hours

Trading follows CME futures hours:

• Sunday 5:00 PM CT – Friday 4:00 PM CT, with a daily maintenance break from 4:00–5:00 PM CT. All positions must be closed before each session ends. Hours may vary by product — check CME's website for specifics.

Inactivity Rule:

• Place at least one trade every 7 days. If no trades are placed for 7 consecutive days the account is breached and closed, and the fee is not refunded. There is no time limit on passing the evaluation, but the account does need to stay active.

Prohibited Strategies

• Breaching any rule below may result in a warning, profit adjustment, account review, or termination.​

1. Market manipulation and deception:

• No fraudulent conduct, price manipulation, spoofing, or anything designed to distort the market or create false trading conditions.​

2. Microscalping:

• Trades closed within 2 minutes of opening. Not a breach in itself, but any profit from them is deducted from your account. (Not applicable to Goat Daily or Flex Accounts For Flex Accounts, At each payout request, both of the following must be true for that payout cycle:
• at least 50% of your closed trades were held longer than 1 minute, and
• at least 50% of your net profit came from trades held longer than 1 minute.
• If either is not met, the payout request is declined and all profit from trades held under 1 minute in that cycle is deducted from the account. This is not an account breach, and your account stays open.

3. Exploiting pricing or feed errors:

• No profiting from mispriced quotes, lagging updates, feed latency, or data discrepancies. Using external or slower price sources (broker accounts, third-party feeds) for an edge is also prohibited.​

4. High-frequency and algorithmic exploitation:

• No high-frequency systems, AI tools, tick scalping, or bulk order-entry that exploit execution speed or system inefficiencies rather than trade real conditions.​

5. Arbitrage:

• No arbitrage of any kind — latency, hedge, reverse, or rollover/scalping — as it exploits structural inefficiencies rather than genuine speculation.​

6. Coordinated trading:

• No coordinating trades to influence outcomes, whether across your own accounts or with other clients. This includes opposing or hedged positions across accounts, group trading, trade signaling, or sharing environments, devices, VPS instances, or IPs to enable linked trading.​

7. Copying other users' trades:

• Copying your own trades is allowed subject to program limits. Goat Daily permits copying only between your own Goat Daily accounts. Copying other users' trades or signals — manually, via copy/mirror services, or EAs — is not. Someone else may be copying the same source, creating linked positions across unrelated accounts; where detected, all accounts and users involved may be suspended.​

8. Gap trading:

• No trading to capture price gaps from market closures and re-openings.​

9. Artificial trades to meet requirements:

• No token, undersized, or manipulated trades used to fake active trading days or bypass risk controls.​

10. Volume inflation:

• No abnormally high trade counts or oversized positions on negligible price movement to inflate profit.​

11. Non-viable strategies:

• No strategy that could not realistically be executed on a live exchange.​

12. Responsible risk and position sizing:

• No staking a disproportionate share of equity on a single position, one-sided all-in bets, or account rolling. Keep sizing consistent with your strategy and balance — erratic, unexplained jumps (e.g., one contract then ten) may be treated as gambling rather than disciplined trading.

Goat Daily:
