@David_tradesfx @PropFirmShinobi @GoatFunded Do you think I haven't done that? That would be quite funny. I spoke with the support team, and they told me to send the evidence to the risk team and wait for a response from them. However, the risk team hasn't responded, even though I provided all the evidence.

[Burkay Özkaynak @Underwater200K]

@Pete__X @PropFirmShinobi The fact that they refuse payment is not the issue. The real problem is that they fail to provide clear proof as to why it was refused.

$100K Funded Account Terminated, Payout Denied — Risk Team Ignores My Appeal!

@GoatFunded

I am writing this review to publicly share my extremely disappointing experience with Goat Funded Trader (GFT).

On September 26, 2026, I purchased TWO $100,000 Premium Instant Funding accounts. Both accounts belonged to me, and I personally managed every trading decision.

On October 8, I requested payouts from both accounts.

✅ Account ending in 315258452: My $4,656 payout was APPROVED and PAID.

❌ Account ending in 315258451: My payout was REJECTED, and my $100,000 funded account was TERMINATED.

Approximately 90% of the trades across these two accounts were identical or highly similar.

GFT accused me of "coordinated group trading" with unrelated traders. I strongly deny this allegation. I have never knowingly participated in a trading group, copied another trader's signals, or coordinated my entries and exits with anyone else.

I understand that GFT may assess accounts individually. However, they have still failed to explain what specific technical evidence supposedly proves that account 451 violated their rules while account 452 did not.

**MY TRADING STRATEGY WAS IGNORED**

I trade XAUUSD using price action, liquidity sweeps, and predetermined price levels. I frequently place Buy Limit orders hours before they are executed.

For example, my documented trading records show:

• September 30: XAUUSD Buy Limit placed at 20:48:25, executed on October 1 at 03:19:02 — approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes later.

• October 6: XAUUSD Buy Limit placed at 03:40:47, executed at 05:35:14 — approximately 1 hour and 54 minutes later.

These records are from my other personally managed account. I have asked GFT to examine the corresponding server-side order creation timestamps on my terminated account.

Similar execution times do not automatically prove that traders coordinated their decisions. Pending orders may execute simultaneously when the market reaches predetermined prices.

**THE RISK TEAM'S ACCUSATION RAISES QUESTIONS**

Their original email alleged 11 matching trades with other traders. However, the breakdown provided listed 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 matches.

I asked GFT to explain this discrepancy and identify the actual trades and technical criteria used to conclude that I violated their policies.

Instead, I have received general statements about their internal risk assessments, without a trade-specific explanation.

**MY BIGGEST PROBLEM: THE RISK TEAM DOES NOT RESPOND**

I submitted an appeal and supporting evidence to GFT's Risk Team.

I waited for a meaningful response.

Nothing.

I updated my previous Trustpilot review with further questions and evidence, but I have not received a substantive answer to those questions.

Meanwhile, GFT's public responses repeatedly tell me to contact the Risk Team and wait.

**I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT!**

Their support team even told me that without sufficient evidence or a concrete reason, receiving a response from Risk Management would be unlikely.

I provided my evidence. I explained my case. I followed their appeal procedure.

**HOW LONG AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT WITHOUT AN ACTUAL RESPONSE?**

My terminated account is also restricted, making it difficult to access the full trading records needed to defend myself. GFT still possesses the original server logs.

I am not requesting confidential information about other traders. I am requesting a fair investigation and a clear explanation of the evidence against my account.

**WHAT I WANT FROM GOAT FUNDED TRADER**

1. A real response from the Risk Team to my existing appeal.

2. An independent examination of my terminated account's original pending-order records.

3. A specific explanation of the alleged coordinated trades and the evidence supporting the decision.

4. Reinstatement of my funded account and reconsideration of my rejected payout if the alleged violation cannot be substantiated.

I am not asking for special treatment.

I am asking for transparency, fairness, and accountability.

**GFT PAID ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS, TERMINATED THE OTHER, AND STILL HAS NOT PROVIDED A SATISFACTORY TECHNICAL EXPLANATION.**

Until this matter is properly reviewed and resolved, I cannot recommend Goat Funded Trader to other traders.

**PLEASE STOP REPEATING GENERIC RESPONSES AND ACTUALLY ADDRESS MY APPEAL.**

🚨 WHY IS NOBODY SEEING MY POSTS?!

I'm fighting for my unfairly rejected payout and terminated $100K funded account, yet my posts barely reach anyone!

WHERE IS THE TRADING COMMUNITY?! 😭

PLEASE READ MY STORY, REPLY, AND HELP MY VOICE BE HEARD!

I JUST WANT JUSTICE! 💔

#PropTrading #FundedTrader @propfirmeye @ppropfundsquad @Propfirmedge

[Burkay Özkaynak @Underwater200K]

🚨 PUBLIC APPEAL TO @GoatFundedTrader — ONE $100,000 ACCOUNT PAID, THE OTHER TERMINATED. MY PAYOUT REJECTED. I WANT A FAIR INVESTIGATION.

I never imagined I would have to publicly fight for a fair review of my trading activity and a payout I believe I legitimately earned.

But here I am.

On September 26, 2026, I purchased TWO $100,000 Premium Instant Funding accounts from Goat Funded Trader.

Both accounts were purchased by me.

Both accounts were registered under my name.

Both accounts were personally managed and traded by me.

On October 8, 2026, I submitted payout requests for BOTH accounts.

And what happened next?

✅ Account 315258452 — PAYOUT APPROVED AND PAID.

❌ Account 315258451 — PAYOUT REJECTED AND ACCOUNT TERMINATED.

Approximately 90% of my trading activity across these two accounts was identical or substantially similar.

Yet one account was approved for payment while the other was permanently closed.

I am not claiming that similar activity across my own accounts automatically disproves every possible rule violation.

I am asking a much more important question:

WHAT SPECIFIC EVIDENCE JUSTIFIES SUCH DIFFERENT OUTCOMES?

On October 12, I received an email from the GFT Risk Team accusing me of "Coordinated Group Trading" with other traders.

I strongly dispute this allegation.

I did not knowingly participate in a prohibited coordinated trading group. I personally managed my trading decisions and manually placed corresponding pending orders on my own accounts.

And I have technical evidence that deserves to be examined.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 1. YOUR OWN RULES ALLOWED TRADING BETWEEN MY OWN FUNDED ACCOUNTS

Goat Funded Trader's published rules explicitly permitted copying between a trader's own evaluation and funded accounts, including Funded-to-Funded copying.

Both of my accounts belong to ME.

Both are registered under MY name.

I understand that permission to copy between my own accounts does not authorize prohibited coordination with unrelated traders.

But these are TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES, and they must not be confused.

Furthermore, the newer restriction requiring the use of the designated GOAT Trade Copier was introduced on October 12, 2026.

The trades under investigation occurred BEFORE that date.

Which exact rules were in force when I placed these trades?

Were those rules applied consistently?

I am asking for a clear answer.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 2. I HAVE PROOF THAT MY ORDERS WERE PLACED HOURS BEFORE EXECUTION

This is one of the most important parts of my case.

I have retained MetaTrader order records showing that multiple trades were created as pending Buy Limit orders BEFORE they were executed.

EXAMPLE ONE — XAUUSD BUY LIMIT 4142.22

Order #131162327

📅 Created: September 30, 2026 — 20:48:25

📅 Executed: October 1, 2026 — 03:19:02

THE ORDER WAS PLACED APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES BEFORE EXECUTION.

EXAMPLE TWO — XAUUSD BUY LIMIT 4110.50

Order #132753200

📅 Created: October 6, 2026 — 03:40:47

📅 Executed: October 6, 2026 — 05:35:14

THE ORDER WAS PLACED APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR AND 54 MINUTES BEFORE EXECUTION.

I also have additional pending-order records from October 5.

These records are real, timestamped trading-platform records.

They can be checked against the company's original server logs.

A pending order is placed at a predetermined price and may be executed automatically when the market reaches that level.

Therefore, two trades executing at similar times does not necessarily mean that two traders made coordinated decisions at that moment.

I fully understand that pending orders alone do not conclusively rule out coordination.

But their ORIGINAL CREATION TIMES are essential evidence.

DID YOUR RISK TEAM EXAMINE WHEN MY ORDERS WERE ACTUALLY CREATED, OR DID YOU RELY PRIMARILY ON MATCHING EXECUTION TIMES?

That distinction matters.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 3. YOUR REPORT RAISES QUESTIONS THAT DESERVE ANSWERS

Your Risk Team stated that 11 of my trades matched activity on unrelated accounts between September 29 and October 8, 2026.

Your email identified:

• 4 matching trades with one account.

• 3 matching trades with another account.

• 3 matching trades with a third account.

4 + 3 + 3 = 10.

Yet your email refers to 11 matching trades.

Perhaps some matches overlap or your report uses a different counting method.

If so, please explain it.

The comparison report also appears to include trading activity dated September 28, even though your email describes the review period as September 29 through October 8.

I am requesting clarification of the actual investigation period and the precise trades used to support the termination decision.

These details matter when a trader's funded account and pending payout are at stake.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 4. SIMILAR EXECUTION TIMES ARE NOT THE SAME AS PROOF OF COORDINATION

Gold is traded by thousands of traders.

Many traders watch the same price levels.

Many use pending orders.

Many react to the same market movements.

I understand that repeated similarities may justify an investigation.

But I want to know what additional evidence was used to conclude that I coordinated my trading with unrelated individuals.

Did you compare original order submission times?

Did you distinguish pending orders from market orders?

Did you examine differences in order size, stop-loss levels, take-profit levels, and order modification history?

Did you examine the complete sequence of trading decisions?

WHAT EXACTLY ESTABLISHES PROHIBITED COORDINATION IN MY CASE?

I am not asking for another customer's private information.

I am asking for an anonymized, verifiable technical explanation of the accusation against ME.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 5. YOU CLOSED THE ACCOUNT THAT CONTAINS THE RECORDS I NEED TO DEFEND MYSELF

Account 315258451 has been restricted, and I cannot access its complete order history.

That makes it significantly harder for me to retrieve the original creation timestamps of the orders placed on that account.

But Goat Funded Trader still has access to its own server records.

YOU HAVE THE DATA THAT CAN HELP ESTABLISH WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

Please examine it.

Please compare the original order creation times.

Please review the actual pending-order records.

Please allow me a meaningful opportunity to challenge the allegation.

A serious decision deserves a serious investigation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 6. ONE ACCOUNT WAS PAID. THE OTHER WAS TERMINATED. I DESERVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY.

Let me repeat the facts:

TWO $100,000 accounts.

ONE owner.

ONE trader.

Both purchased on the same day.

Both payout requests submitted on the same day.

Approximately 90% similar trading activity.

ONE PAYOUT APPROVED.

ONE PAYOUT REJECTED.

ONE ACCOUNT TERMINATED.

I recognize that your allegation involves comparisons with third-party accounts, not merely similarities between my two accounts.

That is exactly why I am requesting an account-specific explanation supported by complete technical evidence.

Why was the activity on one account acceptable for payout while the other account was terminated?

What precise differences in the evidence led to these opposite decisions?

I WANT FACTS. I WANT TRANSPARENCY. I WANT A FAIR REVIEW.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 MY FORMAL PUBLIC REQUEST TO GOAT FUNDED TRADER

@GoatFundedTrader, I am requesting:

✅ An independent manual review of the termination of account 315258451.

✅ A full examination of original server-side order creation timestamps and pending-order records.

✅ A detailed explanation of the alleged 11 matching trades, including the actual investigation period and the technical criteria used.

✅ Confirmation of the rules applicable when these trades occurred.

✅ A clear explanation of why my two accounts received different outcomes.

✅ Reinstatement of my funded account if the alleged violation cannot be substantiated.

✅ Reconsideration and payment of my rejected payout if the termination decision is found to be unjustified.

I am ready to cooperate.

I am ready to provide my screenshots.

I am ready to provide my order records.

I AM NOT ASKING FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT.

I AM ASKING FOR A FAIR, TRANSPARENT, EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION.

I trusted your company when I purchased these accounts.

I traded.

I requested my payouts.

One was paid.

The other was rejected, and the account was closed.

This has been deeply frustrating, especially when I believe the original trading records deserve further examination.

I do not want an argument.

I want a resolution.

I do not want a generic response.

I want the technical facts.

And I do not want to be told that my account is permanently closed without a meaningful explanation of the evidence behind that decision.

@GoatFundedTrader — PLEASE REOPEN THIS INVESTIGATION.

REVIEW MY ORIGINAL ORDERS.

EXPLAIN THE EVIDENCE.

RESTORE MY ACCOUNT IF NO VIOLATION CAN BE ESTABLISHED.

AND PAY THE PROFITS I AM ENTITLED TO IF THE REJECTION WAS UNJUSTIFIED.

I will continue pursuing this matter through appropriate channels and sharing factual updates until I receive a fair resolution.

This is not only about one payout.

IT IS ABOUT FAIRNESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY, AND THE TRUST TRADERS PLACE IN PROP FIRMS.

I deserve answers.

I deserve a fair investigation.

And I deserve to have my evidence properly reviewed.

#GoatFundedTrader #PropTrading #FundedTrader #Payout #TradingCommunity

[Burkay Özkaynak @Underwater200K]

You specifically refer to:

Four matching trades with account 471****62
Three matching trades with account 315****02
Three matching trades with account 315****78

These figures total 10 matching trades, while the email refers to 11.

I respectfully request clarification of this difference, including whether the counts represent distinct trades, overlapping matches, or another classification method.

More importantly, I request an explanation of how matching entry and exit times were distinguished from coincidental similarities or independent trading decisions.

For each disputed trade, please identify:

The relevant order and position identifiers.
The order creation time, including whether it was a pending or market order.
The execution and closing timestamps.
The time differences between the compared orders.
The order direction, volume, entry price, exit price, stop loss, and take profit.
The objective criteria used to classify the activity as coordinated group trading.

I understand that you may need to protect other customers’ personal information. I am not requesting their identities or confidential personal details. An anonymized technical comparison would be sufficient.

4. The Applicable Trading Rules Must Be Considered

Your published policy permits copying between a trader’s own funded accounts.

I also understand that the permitted method of automated copying has subsequently been restricted to your designated GOAT Trade Copier.

The transactions cited in your email occurred before October 12, 2026.

I therefore request that the investigation apply the precise trading rules and copy-trading requirements in force when the disputed trades occurred, rather than any later operational requirements.

If you consider any specific trading practice prohibited during that period, please identify the relevant rule, its effective date, and the evidence establishing that I violated it.

5. Request for Reconsideration of the Account Closure and Payout Rejection

The termination of a funded account and rejection of a pending payout are serious decisions with direct financial consequences.

I believe these actions warrant a thorough examination of the complete technical evidence and the actual circumstances of the trades.

I respectfully request:

An independent manual review of the decision to terminate account 315258451.
A review of the complete order history, including original order creation timestamps and pending-order records.
A detailed explanation of the 11 disputed trades and the technical basis for concluding that prohibited coordination occurred.
Confirmation of the exact trading rules applicable during the relevant dates.
Reinstatement of account 315258451 if the alleged violation cannot be substantiated.
Reconsideration and processing of my rejected payout if the account termination and associated payout rejection are found to be unjustified.

I am prepared to cooperate fully and provide the available account ownership and order-detail screenshots.

I ask that my case be assessed fairly, objectively, and on the basis of complete evidence rather than trade similarities considered in isolation.

Please confirm receipt of this formal appeal and provide a written response addressing the specific technical and policy questions raised above.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Burkay Özkaynak

Account: 315258451

Related account owned by me: 315258452

[Burkay Özkaynak @Underwater200K]

I am writing to formally dispute your decision to terminate my funded trading account 315258451 and reject my pending payout on the grounds of alleged coordinated group trading.

I take your trading rules seriously. However, I respectfully disagree with the conclusion that my trading activity constitutes participation in a coordinated trading group with other traders.

I request that this decision be reconsidered through a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the original server-side trading records, including order creation timestamps, order types, execution details, and the applicable trading rules.

1. Ownership of My Funded Accounts

I am the legitimate owner of both Goat Funded Trader accounts:

315258451
315258452

Both accounts are registered under my name, Burkay Özkaynak, and were purchased by me at the same time.

I can provide a MetaTrader screenshot showing both accounts under the same account holder name and GoatFunded-Server.

This distinction is particularly important because your published trading rules expressly permit copying trades between a trader’s own Goat Funded Trader evaluation and funded accounts, including Funded-to-Funded copying.

Your official policy states:

“You can copy between your own Goat Funded Trader evaluation and funded accounts in any direction.”

Official reference:
https://t.co/9yjEHjhktd

I understand that this permission does not extend to copying trades from unrelated traders or participating in prohibited trading groups. I am not claiming otherwise.

My point is that similarities between my own accounts must be distinguished from allegations involving unrelated third-party accounts.

2. Evidence of Independently Placed Pending Orders

I personally placed pending Buy Limit orders on my accounts as part of my trading decisions.

I have retained order-detail records from account 315258452 demonstrating that several trades were planned and submitted significantly before execution.

The following records can be independently verified against your trading server:

Order #131162327 – XAUUSD.x Buy Limit

Entry price: 4142.22
Volume: 1.00 lot
Order creation: September 30, 2026, at 20:48:25
Execution: October 1, 2026, at 03:19:02
Time between creation and execution: approximately 6 hours and 30 minutes

Order #132753200 – XAUUSD.x Buy Limit

Entry price: 4110.50
Volume: 0.50 lot
Order creation: October 6, 2026, at 03:40:47
Execution: October 6, 2026, at 05:35:14
Time between creation and execution: approximately 1 hour and 54 minutes

Order #132641486 – XAUUSD.x Buy Limit

Entry price: 4140.23
Volume: 0.50 lot
Order creation: October 5, 2026, at 18:07:45
Execution: October 5, 2026, at 18:10:02

Order #132650136 – XAUUSD.x Buy Limit

Entry price: 4124.62
Volume: 1.00 lot
Order creation: October 5, 2026, at 18:22:12
Execution: October 5, 2026, at 18:22:39

These records establish that the specified orders on account 315258452 were created as pending orders before their execution, rather than being entered as market orders at the moment they were filled.

I acknowledge that the existence of pending orders does not, by itself, exclude the possibility of coordination. Nevertheless, their creation timestamps are material evidence that should be examined before drawing conclusions based on execution-time similarities.

I also placed corresponding pending orders on my other account manually. Unfortunately, account 315258451 is now restricted, preventing me from accessing its complete order details.

I therefore request that your Risk Team retrieve and examine the original server-side order creation records for account 315258451 rather than relying exclusively on the information currently accessible to me.

3. The Allegation Concerning Other Traders Requires Further Explanation

Your email states that 11 trades between September 29 and October 8, 2026, matched activity on other traders’ accounts.

On September 26, 2026, I purchased two 100k Premium Instant Funding accounts. On October 8, 2026, I submitted a payout request for both of these instant funding accounts. You are withholding my rightfully earned profits.

I personally managed both of these accounts. Approximately 90% of the trades taken on these two accounts are identical. You are contradicting yourselves: while you issued a payout for my account ending in 452, you cannot claim "copy/group trading" for my account ending in 451. I never copied anyone, nor did I open or close trades jointly with anyone else. I merely replicated trades across my own live accounts.

I forwarded this situation to your risk team along with the evidence, yet I received no response. To make matters worse, your support team explicitly told me: "[If you do not provide a concrete reason or evidence, the likelihood of receiving a response is very low because the RISK TEAM carefully reviews everything before sending a message]." Your support team clearly stated that, due to the incorrect decision made by your risk team, I would not receive a response unless I provided sufficient evidence.

I now realize your risk team will not respond, yet an undeniable error has been made on your end. You disbursed my $4,656 payout for my account ending in 452, and I thank you for that. However, you denied my payout for the account ending in 451, terminated my account, and claimed that I engaged in copy/group trading. Meanwhile, you paid out on my other account where I executed the exact same trades, with a 90% overlap.

I never copied anyone, and I never traded alongside anyone else. I am a trader, and I expect fairness from you. I believe this action is an outright error.

When structuring my trades, I focus on liquidity sweeps and wicks. Most of the positions taken on the account you rejected were entered via limit orders. I place my limit orders at pre-identified zones hours in advance, defining my stop loss and take profit levels, and I actively avoid market execution entries.

It is evident that a mistake was made here. I will share all the trades executed on my accounts; please review them in detail and acknowledge that the same trades were taken across both accounts. You cannot pay out on one account while rejecting the payout and terminating the other.

We request @Hafeez and the @GoatFundedTrdr management team to:

1️⃣ Overrule the automated bot flag.

@GoatFunded @Burkay 4/6 🧵 INSTEAD OF REVIEWING LOGS, THEY BANNED US:

When our audit team dropped this technical breakdown in their official Discord, GoatFunded moderators TEMPORARILY BANNED our account.

Silencing independent auditors on Discord won't erase the evidence on X.

@GoatFunded @Burkay 3/6 🚨THE QUESTION GFT COULDN'T ANSWER:How can your automated risk filter validate execution and pay out $4,656 on Account A, but flag the exact same trader logs on Account B as "Co-Copying/Group Trading"? If Account A is compliant, Account B IS COMPLIANT. It’s a clear risk-bot
