Goat Funded Trader trades under Wishes Tower International Limited, registered in Hong Kong, with simulated accounts run through a Saint Lucia entity called Goat Funded LTD. Sources give a founding date of either 2022 or 2023. It is a funded trader challenge firm, not a licensed broker, so no forex regulator oversees it.
Traders pay a fee to attempt one of eight challenge models, from one step to instant funding, with profit splits from 80 up to 100 percent and leverage up to 1:30. The firm dropped and restored MetaTrader access more than once since 2024 after MetaQuotes cracked down on prop firms, moving traders to MatchTrader and TradeLocker instead.
In April 2026, Goat Funded Trader absorbed a separate firm called TradeXMastery and swapped in new account types without warning, leaving traders confused and chasing unpaid payouts. Trustpilot flagged the company for guideline breaches, and about 23 percent of its reviews are 1 star.
