GoatFundedFutures was created to fund and educate traders through a “learn by doing” approach in a simulated futures trading environment. Because it is a simulated environment, a substantial portion of the risk of live markets is mitigated.
While the simulated environment of GFF removes a substantial portion of risk, we still want you to be aware of the risk that comes with trading.
Once you leave simulated trading and get into a live trading environment (whether through a GFF Sim Funded Account or otherwise), always bear in mind the following:
Please never place a trade in a live trading environment unless you fully understand and accept all the risks that come with it.

Futures trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the investor’s initial investment. Only risk capital—money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle—should be used for trading and only those individuals with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Nothing contained herein is a solicitation or an offer to buy or sell futures, options, or forex. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
CFTC Rule 4.41 – Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
GFF deeply cares about traders becoming the best they can be. We understand trading has highs and lows and that the majority of traders will fail. We started GFF to give traders a place to learn about trading without the high risk of a live trading environment. Let’s all help the trading community be the best they can be and support each other to help each other know when to say stop.
Leverage Risk: Futures trading involves leverage, meaning small market movements can have a large impact on your account. This can work both for and against you, leading to potential significant losses.
Market Risk: Futures markets can be volatile, and price movements can be unpredictable. Rapid market shifts can result in losses exceeding your account balance.
Liquidity Risk: Some markets may lack sufficient liquidity, making it difficult to execute trades at desired prices. This could result in significant losses or an inability to close positions.
Execution Risk: In fast-moving markets, order execution may be delayed, and the price at which trades are executed may differ from the quoted price, resulting in potential losses.
System Risk: Trading through an electronic platform is subject to risks associated with system performance, including network issues, platform malfunctions, or outages.
