Review
General Company Information
Goat Funded Trader was founded in 2022 with a clear mission: to provide the best for the best traders. Since its inception, it has relied on its own technological infrastructure, thus avoiding dependence on third-party solutions. This strategy allows it to offer a more personalized trading experience with greater control over the quality of its services.
The company is supported by a team of more than 40 professionals with industry experience, ensuring solid technical support, efficient risk management, and quality customer service.
A relevant fact about their track record is that they have paid out more than $8.1 million to their traders, demonstrating their financial strength and commitment to their users. Furthermore, in 2025 they almost fully completed their operational migration to Hong Kong, a strategy aimed at improving their market access and global positioning, despite some initial delays.
