Abstract:GoatFunded Trader, an online prop trading firm, has recently come under fire following allegations of unethical practices and rule violations. A trader took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their friend’s harrowing experience, shedding light on what they describe as a blatant denial of a rightful payout and unjust account termination.

GoatFunded Trader, an online prop trading firm, has recently come under fire following allegations of unethical practices and rule violations. A trader took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their friends harrowing experience, shedding light on what they describe as a blatant denial of a rightful payout and unjust account termination.
On July 18th, a trader with the account number 30524 requested a payout, adhering to GoatFunded Trader's stipulated 72-hour policy for processing such requests. However, by July 23rd, the payout had not been received. When the trader contacted support, they acknowledged the delay, issued an apology, and assured a swift resolution.
As days passed without any progress, the trader's frustration grew. Instead of resolving the issue, it was said that GoatFunded Trader escalated the situation by accusing the trader of making “threats” and subsequently banning them from the platform. This action was used as a pretext to deny the payout, despite the trader's adherence to all the platforms rules and policies.

This controversy raises significant questions about the accountability and transparency of online prop trading firms. Traders entrust these platforms with their investments and expect fair treatment and adherence to the stated policies. Incidents like this undermine trust and highlight the need for greater oversight and regulation in the industry.
As this story unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder to all trading firms about the importance of maintaining integrity, transparency, and professionalism in their operations. Traders and investors are urged to remain vigilant and demand accountability from the platforms they use.

The Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while announcing the Union Budget 2026-27, proposed a sharp rise in the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on Futures and Options as part of the government’s strategy to soothe the country’s overheated derivatives market. The move comes on the backdrop of regulators’ concerns over excessive speculation in F&O allowing retail traders to enter the market and lose capital. Whether the government will be able to curb excessive speculation in F&O through this move remains to be seen. The stock indices, however, were hit hard, with the BSE Sensex falling by 1500 points amid widespread selling on the STT hike. Let’s examine the potential impact of this hike on Indian F&O traders.
