City Traders Imperium Review

City Traders Imperium is a London-based prop firm founded in 2018 that has funded traders in more than 178 countries. It runs four routes to capital: a 1-Step Challenge with an 8% target, a 2-Step Challenge at 10% then 5%, Instant Funding that starts you on half the account size, and Direct Funding at full size from day one. Each plan is a single payment with no monthly subscription. The rule that ends an account is the maximum drawdown — trailing on the 1-Step, static on everything else, and always measured on balance rather than equity. First withdrawals come after seven days on the challenges and five on the funded programs, with splits from 80% on the challenges and up to 100% overall. Expect straightforward rules and a wide spread of prices — see how it compares with other forex prop firms.

Which program
Account size

Every plan is a single payment — there is no monthly subscription and no activation fee at the funded stage. A breached account can be restarted at a discount. Profit targets, drawdown limits and any minimum profitable days must all be met before an account is funded or scaled. Summary only — the full rules apply.
