Hello Carlos.
Thank you for this review
We checked your account and found that you were facing an incidents where your trades where closed automatically, but we want to explain why that happens with you.
We found that those trades were closed due to not setting a Stop Loss in less than a minute from opening the trades.
Our data shows that traders who trade without a stop-loss usually don’t last long. Using a stop-loss helps protect your account and encourages smart risk management, Trading without a stop loss puts your capital at risk and is not sustainable in the long run.

The StopLoss rule is closing those trades to prevent your account from losing much balance.
Also, You may check this rule mentioned and explained on our Help Center through the below link: https://helpcenter.citytradersimperium.com/en/articles/12879278-stop-loss-rule
We hope that we clarified what you did that led to the automated trades closures.
Wish you all the best.

This is an absolute scam
According to their ad on their website you pay a little more for for an instant funded account. I made my profit targets on two accounts and it took me almost two weeks to do it and now they say I traded risky and I gambled and now I can't withdraw all my profits. Please don't waste your money. They told me I can try again. Imagine wasting another two weeks to get told the same thing.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration regarding the payout process, especially after the time and effort you invested into your accounts.
At City Traders Imperium, our accounts are designed to identify long-term, disciplined partners. While these accounts allow you to bypass the evaluation phase, they are still subject to our Risk Management and Consistency Policies.
Upon reviewing your accounts, our risk team identified trading patterns that flagged our automated systems for "gambling" behavior, As you can see below your risk percentage reached %6.88 of your account's balance, which may lead you to lose the account in two trades easily.
https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1774626287818-1403c18d-0e5c-413e-88b9-4a66d963d9ab.png
This is not a consistent trading style but much closer to a gambling behavior which is strictly prohibited in CTI.
The Gambling prohibiting was clearly explained on our Help Center below.
https://helpcenter.citytradersimperium.com/en/articles/12891259-gambling-behaviour
In the end we have granted you a retrial account and didn't terminate the account, that gave you another retrial to pass the level but with a decent risk management.
Thank you and wish you all the best.
Very good firm

No longer recommended
I’ve been trading with citytradersimperium for a while. At First some positive aspects: Their technical infrastructure is good and also their trading conditions like comissions and spreads are good.
But there are a few points which lead me to the decision that I cannot recommend them anymore:
1. hidden maximum risk rule: A few of my trades where classified as high risk, because the stop-loss was between 2.5% and 5.6% (to clarify this: I only use a stop loss greater than 5% if I already had a lot of winning positions on this day so that I automatically have more drawdown on the same day. I didn’t risk the entire daily drawdown in one go, if I am up 3% or 4% this day and open a new position with a 5% Stop Loss). That means there is technically a maximum risk rule for each instrument which is not mentioned in the rules or FAQ section
2. 150% margin rule: Their 150% margin rule is the worst in the industry. I am trading for a few other prop firms and a part of my strategy is trading one lot Gold with a SL of 15 dollars which make a risk of 1.5% on a 100k account (which aligns to their risk appetite, but not to the margin rule). Their leverage would cause a margin rule break even if your amount of risk is fully align with their rules.
It is almost a scam if you buy their $2500 instant or challenge accounts and would like to trade Bitcoin, Gold or Silver, because if open just 0.01 lot of one these assets, you would instantly breach their 150% margin rule.
Another aspect: What if Gold jumps to $10,000? Should I halve my position size just to stay within their margin rule although my risk per trade stays the same? This rule is definitely constructed to fail the trader.
3. changing contract sizes without notice: I traded silver during january and february. Suddenly there was a change in the contract size (from 1000 to 5000) which causes a higher margin use. This change was not communicated and is clearly a red flag for a prop firm, especially when it causes an unintended rule break.
All in all these things made it nearly impossible to trade with citytradersimperium and I cannot recommend them anymore. Also it might be interesting to know, that in the last years they very rarely offered discounts, but this year they running a 30% promotion for three months in a row now. It seems they are having issues convincing new traders.
Update: Here is my answer to CTI:
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately it seems that you didn't read my review properly, so I try to clarify my points in the following:
1. Hidden maximum risk rule: I stated explicitly in my review that I set the a SL greater than 5% ONLY if I am up 3% or 4% on the same day. In this case I didn't risk the entire drawdown as you claimed rather I risk actually 1.6% of my daily drawdown (5.6% SL and a daily gain of closed positions of 4%). My main point here which I criticize is that you complain about all positions with a SL greater than 2.5%, but it is not mentioned in the FAQ section, that 2.5% is the risk limit. This should be clear visible in the FAQs and the rules section like other firms do it.
2. The 150% margin rule: You claim that if I my margin drops below 150% on a trade idea the position is over-sized and over-leveraged. This is wrong and doesn't align with common risk management. Let me give you an example: If I open a 0.5 lot position in Gold to the current price of $5,000 my used margin would be $50,000 and therefore my margin level would be 200% on a 100k account. Let's assume I put a SL of 15 points/dollars which means my entire risk for this position would be 0.75% or $750. Let's assume further the gold price moves to $10,000 in a couple of months. If I would open the same position at this level (0.5 lot, 15 points StopLoss) my risk would be still the same (0.75% on a 100k account). But I would break the 150% margin rule because my used margin would be now $100,000 and therefore my margin level at 100%. This has nothing to do with over-sizing or over-leveraging.
My main point here which I criticize is that on the smaller accounts (which I traded in the past) I would instantly break the 150% margin rule if I open a 0.01 lot position on Gold or Bitcoin (for example the 1.25k instant account). That makes no sense at all.
3. Changing contract size: Anytime during January or February you changed the contract size for silver from 1000 to 5000 contracts without communication, neither via e-mail nor Discord (I checked the mentioned discord channel as well). This is unacceptable especially when it leads to a rule breach (max risk limit or margin rule).
Update 2: Instead of giving some answers to my points, CTI accuses me of "defamation of the firm". This is very unprofessional and another sign to stay away from this firm.

Hi Jakob
Thank you for reviewing us, And please let us clarify each point.
Regarding the risk percentage, It's not making sense to risk 5.6% of your entire account's balance which is more than the half of the entire drawdown in one trade, If the trader loses that trade he would lose the account immediately due to the daily drawdown if the account has that factor,
This is not a proper risk management but more close to gambling which is clearly prohibited and well explained on our Help Center.
https://helpcenter.citytradersimperium.com/en/articles/12891259-gambling-behaviour
Regarding the Leverage rule, That was well explained on the Help Center,
Over-leveraging occurs when a trader uses their entire available margin on a single trade idea, causing the Margin Level to fall to 150% or below. This includes:
Opening one oversized position.
Stacking positions on the same symbol.
This is considered gambling, not strategic trading.
Regarding the Changes, We usually publish our updates on our Discord Channel #Alert-Funding, So you may review it from time to time.
Regarding the Discount offers we are creating, this is based on a comprehensive analysis by the marketing team and it's not for any of the reasons you mentioned.
Finally, Your account was upgraded successfully and we found you are trading normally without any issues.
We hope that we addressed your points clearly and please let us know if you need any further clarifications.

The free educational content. The communication from the team. The will of the team to support one through their journey. All this are evidence of a good company and builds my hope for success with CTI.

Great Prop Firm for Serious Traders
I’ve had a really positive experience with City Traders Imperium so far. The rules are clear and focused on proper risk management, which actually helps build good trading discipline. The dashboard is easy to use and everything from the challenge process to account statistics is well organized.
What I appreciate the most is the support team, they respond quickly and are very helpful whenever you have questions. The firm also offers flexible evaluation models and realistic trading conditions compared to many other prop firms.
Of course, like any prop firm, you still need solid risk management and consistency to succeed. If you follow the rules and trade responsibly, CTI can be a great place to grow as a funded trader.
Overall, a professional prop firm with a supportive community and good opportunities for traders who take trading seriously.

Parasites in the prop form world..
Parasites in the prop form world..
Bought $1300 funded account with 6% stop loss and 10% profit target.
Spent 2 weeks and passed test.
Instead of giving my winning of $2.000, they gave me a retrial account and upon question they told me I did “one sided bet” and “gambling behaviour”.
Had atleast 50+ email exchange. They refunded my money in the exchange that I’ll delete their 1 star review.
Please please stay away from CTI.
Pay little extra to FTMO or 5%ers but they give you peace of mind.
CTI is absolutely worst. I just don’t have any more words to describe them.
Absolutely worst…
Don’t for their 30% code. If you fail they will collect your money and if you pass they will say later you did gambling… I wish I can report them in uk so that I can save many others..
Update following reply:- I spent 3 weeks to get 10% and all you’ve to say is “gambling” and “one sided” trade. Friday before USA strike Iran, why would I go short gold or oil ? Ian’s I shorted indices for a reason.
I paid $1300 for $80k account and had I want lower account I would have paid less…
Look we both know you didn’t honour payment towards me. Had it been FTMO or 5%ers I would have laugh all the way to bank/
Evaluation took 3 weeks with no single day more than 30% of total profit. As I said you guys are truly parasites and I’m not sure how you can sleep at night by running this scam business ?!
Can’t believe people actually pay for this scam business.. mind boggling actually…
update:- 15th April 2026 - CTI refunded my payment instead of honouring my funded account. Later Trust pilot removed my review only to re-instate today after i provided evidence that CTI offered me to refund my payment only if i remove their 1 star review from here and google!
I've no words of at what length CTI will go to get the positive review and they will fight till end and worst they will simply say "gambling behavior" in order to deny any payout.

Dear Raju

Update on the reply:
Regarding your trading style, we already listed some of the trades that you overleveraging and over-risking, and explained that this is not consistent trading style,
However, Regarding the Payout, We are transferring the payouts for our traders on daily basis and we have no issue with that.
---
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the sequence of events, as our records show a different context regarding your experience with City Traders Imperium.
At CTI, we prioritize sustainable trading and risk management. Upon reviewing your account, it was identified that multiple trading rules were breached, specifically regarding one-sided betting, Martingale strategies, and excessive risk parameters. These rules are in place to ensure that our funded traders are practicing professional market engagement rather than high-risk gambling behavior.
1. Martingale Trading
Our analysis identified instances of Martingale-style trading on US500C and US30C, where additional trades were opened (often with increasing lot sizes) as the market moved against your original position. This is a recovery mechanism for losing trades rather than a strategic entry.
You opened 26 different trades on US500 along with 18 different trades on US30 using the same prohibited trading strategy
https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1773249663017-f486c5c6-b133-44f9-a23d-4f9eda785ae3.png
https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1773249809927-20bdd176-d070-432e-b8fb-c8ae0a0832c9.png
2. One-Sided Betting
Our review indicated One-Sided Bet activity in your XTIUSDC and XAUUSDC trades. According to CTI policy, a One-Sided Bet occurs when a trader commits to a single direction without proper analysis or trade management, relying on directional bias rather than a structured strategy.
Evidence from Your Account: Your trading history shows a persistent directional bias in these assets, where BUY positions were executed exclusively during the reviewed periods.
You opened 32 different trades using the one sided bet strategy
https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1773250010363-c0fc780b-ae72-48d0-b3ab-52bf85bdda8b.png
https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1773250040565-f869711c-7ab0-4d9a-ab64-db4d366cffb0.png
3- Risk Management & Overleveraging
During our review, we observed that your risk per Trade Idea occasionally exceeded professional standards, and margin levels indicated severe overleveraging.
You had had multiple trades that carried a high risk percentage of your account, which is not consistent and that considered as a gambling, we are not allowing this kind of trades.
As an example, your Position 3634644: Displayed a severe risk of 59.05% on the account. For any trader it's a reckless strategy that leads losing the account
https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1773250458207-fa0019a5-cb50-4857-afcc-7d3be14daa84.png
Also, Position 3681605: Displayed a low Margin Level of 124.84%, which below the 150% of margin level.
All the above rules were explained and clarified on our Help Center, giving examples for each case.
Because these rules were breached, the account did not qualify for the upgrade. However, we took the following steps to resolve the matter fairly:
A Retrial Account: Instead of a straightforward disqualification, we provided a retrial account to give you another opportunity to demonstrate consistent, rule-abiding trading.
Full Refund: Despite the breach of terms, we issued a full refund of your account fees as an exception and a gesture of goodwill. This is not our standard protocol for rule violations, but we wanted to ensure you were not out of pocket.
We take pride in our transparency and the success of our disciplined traders. While we are sorry to hear you are unhappy, we stand by our risk management requirements which protect the integrity of our funding programs.
We hope that we clarified the case.
Best regards,
