GOAT Funded Futures vs Blueberry Futures: prop firm rules compared

GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan and Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan trail the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start; at Blueberry Futures' Accelerated plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Flex plans and Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Flex plans and Blueberry Futures' Ascent plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Instant Classic plans the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. GOAT Funded Futures' 1-Day-Pass and Instant Classic plans set it at $1,000 on $50,000. GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and Flex plans and Blueberry Futures have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and Flex plans cap any single day at 50% of total profit, so it takes at least 2 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,500 of a $3,000 target. GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan caps any single day at 20% of total profit, so it takes at least 5 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $700 of a $3,500 target. GOAT Funded Futures' 1-Day-Pass plan and Blueberry Futures apply no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan requires at least 7 trading days before a pass; Blueberry Futures requires at least 2 trading days on Ascent and 1 on Accelerated before a pass; GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and 1-Day-Pass plans set no minimum number of days.

Blueberry Futures' evaluation runs for 30 days; a target not reached by then is not a pass.
