Monthly subscription. Market data is included and there is no activation fee. After a hard breach, the trader can buy a reset or wait for the next renewal to receive a fresh Evaluation.

One-time fee. No monthly subscription and no recurring charges. EOD, Sprint and FLEX Challenge are paid up-front to enter the evaluation phase.

Algorithmic trading and EAs are allowed, but manipulative automation, high-frequency strategies and latency arbitrage are prohibited. Third-party EAs can cause duplicated-strategy issues.

Personal automated strategies and EAs are allowed, provided they are consistent with the trader's style and do not exploit system vulnerabilities, latency, or data feed anomalies. Strategies designed to manipulate the simulated environment are prohibited.

VPN and VPS use is allowed if the trader remains the sole controller of the account and does not reside in a restricted country.

Opposing positions may be used within one account. Hedging or offsetting directional risk across different accounts, providers or people is prohibited.

Scalping is allowed when it reflects legitimate market trading. High-frequency and latency-arbitrage strategies are prohibited.

Manual scalping allowed. Tick scalping and trades closed within 2 minutes have their profits deducted (micro-scalping rule).

No fixed percentage is published, but overleveraging, one-sided bets and materially inconsistent position sizing can lead to account action or termination.

Copying between accounts owned by the same trader is allowed. Copying signals or decisions from another trader or third party is prohibited.

Copy trading between your own accounts is allowed (e.g. between multiple GFF accounts in your name). Bundle discounts (2 or 3 accounts) are available and you can copy trades to all simultaneously. Cross-user copy trading is not addressed in the helpcenter.

Evaluation phase (EOD, Sprint, FLEX)
No news trading restrictions.

Funded phase (all account types including Instant)
2-minute buffer around high-impact news events. Within 2 min before/after release you cannot open, close or trigger pending orders. Positions opened before the window may be held through the event.

Microscalping rule
EOD, Sprint, Instant: profits from trades closed within 2 minutes of opening are deducted (not a breach but profits invalid).
FLEX: microscalping rule does NOT apply.

Sim-Funded Accounts receive a warning after 30 consecutive inactive days and close after a further 30 inactive days. Live Funded Accounts have no inactivity rule.

15 consecutive days without trades results in account breach. Applies to both evaluation and funded accounts. Once breached, account cannot be reinstated and fees are non-refundable. Notify support in advance if you plan to be away.

• Growth Evaluation: the best day cannot exceed 40% of total profit
• Pro Evaluation: the best day cannot exceed 50% of total profit
• Sim-Funded: no consistency rule

No single day can represent more than:

• EOD Challenge — Evaluation: 50% of total profits. Funded: 30% during a payout period.
• Sprint Challenge — Evaluation: 50%. Funded: 35%.
• FLEX Challenge — Evaluation: 50%. Funded: none.
• Instant Funded — 20% (the tightest of all plans).
• Instant Lite — 15% for the 1st payout, 20% for the 2nd, 25% from the 3rd onwards.
• GOAT Daily — Evaluation: 40%. Funded: none.

Violating the rule blocks the next payout but does not close the account.

Overnight holding NOT permitted (all account types). All positions must be closed before the end of the trading session. Weekend holding also NOT permitted.

Exploiting platform or data-feed errors; relying on drawdown protection as the sole exit; offsetting risk across accounts; copying third-party trades; manipulative automation, HFT or latency arbitrage; opening positions within 2% of a CME price limit; holding positions or resting orders after market close; overleveraging, account rolling, spoofing, layering, wash trading or other behaviour that cannot be replicated in a live futures market.

• Tick scalping and other extremely short-duration trading.
• Trades closed within 2 minutes — profits are deducted (micro-scalping rule).
• Unrealistic execution that relies on simulated market conditions (slippage, liquidity, partial fills) not replicable in live.
• Holding positions overnight or over the weekend.
• Trading affected instruments inside the 2-minute high-impact news buffer on funded accounts.
