GOAT Funded Futures vs UProfit: prop firm rules compared

GOAT Funded Futures' Instant Classic plan trails 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.

On GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass and Flex plans and UProfit 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 UProfit 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 and UProfit 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 and UProfit's DAY 2.0 Soft plan sets it at $1,100 on $50,000. GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and Flex plans and UProfit's DAY 2.0 Flex plan have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

UProfit starts the trading day at 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and Flex plans and UProfit 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 applies 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; GOAT Funded Futures' EOD Challenge and 1-Day-Pass plans set no minimum number of days.

GOAT Funded Futures and UProfit differ on 2 of the evaluation rules compared here: drawdown model and consistency rule. If your trades often run into open profit that you give back before closing them, start with the drawdown: GOAT Funded Futures trails intraday or at end of day, depending on the plan, while UProfit trails at end of day. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: GOAT Funded Futures caps one day at 20–50% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others; UProfit caps one day at 50% of total profit.

Once funded, the profit split is 80/20 default (90/10 add-on) at GOAT Funded Futures and 90/10 (DAY 2.0) at UProfit. Payout terms — GOAT Funded Futures: Request windows 5th–8th and 20th–23rd; UProfit: Within 24h, up to $4,500 per payout. GOAT Funded Futures sells 4 plans: EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass, Flex and Instant Classic; UProfit sells 2 plans: DAY 2.0 Soft and DAY 2.0 Flex. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan.
