End-of-day trailing drawdown

Risk details

Goat Funded Trader uses an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown system. On a $50K account, the maximum drawdown is $1,500. This trailing system calculates your drawdown limit based on your accounts highest end-of-day balance, meaning you have more flexibility during the trading day compared to intraday trailing systems. This approach allows for normal intraday fluctuations without immediately threatening your account. However, once the market closes, your new high watermark is established. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for proper position sizing and overnight risk management. The EOD trailing approach balances trader flexibility with capital protection.

Platform & features

Goat Funded Trader offers three powerful trading platforms: NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and TradingView. NinjaTrader is the industry standard for futures trading, offering advanced charting, automated strategy development, and extensive market analysis tools. Tradovate provides a modern cloud-based platform with real-time streaming data and efficient order execution.
