Goat Funded Trader triples the news trading profit cap on new accounts

Goat Funded Trader has raised the maximum profit per trade around high-impact news from 1% to 3% of the initial balance. The change applies to accounts purchased from November 10, 2026.

The cap covers trades opened or closed within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news release, marked with a red folder on ForexFactory.com or Myfxbook.com. It applies in both the challenge and the funded account, including trades closed by stop loss, take profit or pending orders.

Accounts purchased before November 10 keep the 1% cap, even if they pass the challenge or are reset after that date. If a trade goes over the cap, only the profit above it is removed, and it does not count as a breach.

On a $100,000 account, a trade inside that window that closes with $4,500 in profit keeps $3,000 under the new cap and $1,000 under the old one.
