Goat Funded Futures launched GOAT Access, a one-phase $50,000 futures evaluation that costs $39 to start. You only pay the $99 activation fee if you pass. Coupons do not apply. The profit target is 5% ($2,500), lower than the firm’s other 50K plans, and the max drawdown is $2,000 end-of-day trailing that locks at $50,100.
There is no daily loss limit in the evaluation or once funded, and no consistency rule during the evaluation. You can pass on day one if you hit the target without touching the drawdown. News trading and overnight holds are not allowed. Max contracts are 3 minis or 30 micros. Once funded, payouts are weekly, up to $1,500 per request, with an 80/20 split. The firm still guarantees processing within two business days or an extra $500.
The product page and help center spell this out, and the official X account posted the launch. Platforms include NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Tickblaze, DeepCharts and others. It is the lowest entry price in the current GFF range, with the activation deferred until after a pass.
For traders shopping cheap entries, the $39 fee plus deferred activation keeps the upfront cost low if the evaluation does not work out. The lower target and missing daily loss limit make it more forgiving than many other one-phase 50K options. The news restriction and weekly (not daily) payout cadence are the main trade-offs versus some competing plans.
Our Take: GOAT Access is a straightforward low-cost entry with cleaner evaluation rules than many $50K products. The deferred activation helps, but the news ban and weekly payout window mean it is not the most flexible once you are funded. Read the full help center rules before buying.
