Goat Funded Trader (GFT), founded in 2023 in the Canary Islands, presents itself as an attractive option by promising a maximum profit split of up to 95% and great trading flexibility (news, overnight, weekends). They offer two two-phase programs, one with and one without a time limit.
However, for the trader with a career vision, GFT has two crucial flaws that Verso Prop Firm has eliminated:
- Absence of a Capital Scaling Plan: GFT explicitly does not have a plan to increase the account size once funded, which limits you to the initial capital.
- Conditional Maximum Payout: The 95% maximum split is only achieved after multiple payouts and is subject to the approval of the support team, lacking a clear and guaranteed path.
Verso Prop Firm offers you a real career path. We guarantee a fast profit split scaling path to 90%, a superior initial split (80% vs. 75% for GFT), and the most intelligent risk system in the industry: the Inconsistency Score (ISC), which allows you to correct your mistakes instead of being eliminated.
Growth Potential: The Fundamental Difference
The ambition of any simulated funded trader is to operate larger accounts. In this regard, GFT has a fatal flaw in its design.
| Feature | Verso Prop Firm (Strategic Advantage) | Goat Funded Trader (GFT) |
| Capital Scaling | YES, offers a clear growth path. | NO SCALING PLAN. The trader is limited to the initial balance. |
| Initial Split | 80% (High). | 75% (Low for a two-phase program). |
| Maximum Split (95%) | Guaranteed (Premium Option) or via a clear scaling path. | Conditional, subject to approval from the support team after achieving several splits. |
Verso’s Irrefutable Advantage:
Trading with GFT means you are renting an account, but you are not building a career. By lacking a scaling plan, your earning potential is permanently capped at the initial account size. Verso offers you a path of consistent capital growth and a guaranteed superior split, turning simulated funding into a professional, long-term career.
Payouts and Profitability: The Immediate 80% Advantage
The profit split is where Verso rewards you from day one.
- GFT’s 75% Start: GFT forces you to start with a 75% split and requires multiple payouts (every two weeks) to gradually scale to 80%, 85%, and 90%.
- Verso’s Solid 80%: Verso offers you an 80% split from the start in all our challenges, giving you an additional 5% retention from the very first withdrawal.
- GFT’s 30-Day Delay: The first payout at GFT arrives 30 days after the first trade on the simulated funded account, with a 10-day minimum trading requirement. Verso processes payments within 5 to 10 business days after receiving your invoice, offering one of the fastest processing speeds in the industry once eligibility is met.
Risk Management: ISC (Correction) vs. Fixed Drawdown (Elimination)
GFT relies on strict, fixed Drawdown limits (5% daily, 8% or 10% total). This turns isolated mistakes into an immediate elimination of the simulated account.
Verso complements Drawdown with the Inconsistency Score (ISC), our advanced risk coaching system that protects the account.
- Inconsistency Score (ISC): At Verso, if you exceed the 20% ISC limit, your account is NOT closed. Instead, the ability to withdraw funds is temporarily suspended.
- GFT’s Approach: If you hit the 8% maximum total loss in the No Time Limit program, the simulated account is closed.
- Verso’s Philosophy: Our system is designed to correct your behavior, not to eliminate your potential. We give you the opportunity to demonstrate consistency and maintain your account active long-term, understanding that Drawdown is part of the process.
Verso’s Irrefutable Advantage:
Verso offers a unique safety net. GFT uses a binary “pass or fail” risk system. Verso gives you a human system that promotes sustainability and longevity.
Evaluation Structure and Simplicity
GFT only offers two-phase evaluations (8% and 5% total target, 13% combined). Verso offers more direct and efficient options.
- Verso’s One-Phase Challenge: A simpler, single target, ideal for traders who want to prove their skill without the redundancy of a second phase.
- GFT’s Evaluation: Both GFT programs (with and without a time limit) require passing through two stages.
- Platform Rules: Both allow news and overnight trading. However, Verso focuses on platform integrity, with clear rules against using VPNs or Proxies to conceal identity, protecting the community of honest traders.
Conclusion: Choose Verso for the Career, Not Just the Challenge
Goat Funded Trader is a young and promising firm, but its absence of a capital scaling plan relegates it to being a simple challenge program, not a professional growth platform.
| Key Feature | Verso Prop Firm (The Career Option) | Goat Funded Trader (GFT) |
| Scaling Plan | YES (Clear capital and split growth). | NO. Capital remains stagnant. |
| Maximum Split | 95% (Guaranteed or via Premium Option). | 95% (Conditional, subject to approval). |
| Initial Split | 80% (Superior). | 75% (Low). |
| Sustainability | ISC (Corrects errors, keeps the account active). | Fixed Drawdown (Instant elimination). |
| Models | One-Phase Challenge and Instant Funding. | Two Two-Phase programs. |
If you are looking for a place where your skill translates into exponential capital growth and maximum compensation, Verso Prop Firm is the only logical choice.
