City Traders Imperium: Forex / CFD Prop Firm Guide

Payout Notes
CTI lists the first reward as payout on demand across its funding program comparison.
Challenge accounts are listed with monthly subsequent rewards, while Instant Funding is listed with bi-weekly subsequent rewards.
The profit split can scale higher depending on program and VIP progression. Instant Funding progresses through 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% tiers.
Scaling depends on the program. Challenge accounts list lower maximum allocation than Instant Funding, while Instant Funding can scale up to $4M.
Rules Notes
CTI states that drawdown is calculated from balance, not peak floating equity. This is important for traders who hold winning floating trades.
The 2-Step Challenge includes a 5% max daily loss. Breaking this rule can fail the account even if the overall drawdown is not breached.
The 1-Step Challenge has no listed daily loss in CTI’s comparison, but the 5% overall loss remains the key account-fail limit.
CTI lists EAs as allowed, but some programs specify own source code. Traders using bots, trade copiers, grid, or martingale should verify the exact program rules before buying.
