Our Take

The Propfundsy view on City Traders Imperium

City Traders Imperium's headline feature is a $500/month "salary" paid to funded traders independent of trading profit — a rare structure among evaluation-based firms. Splits start around 70% and scale to 100% with performance, and the 2-Step Challenge is priced aggressively: $29 for a $2.5K account, with the fee reportedly refundable on a pass. An Instant option skips evaluation entirely (an $80K account currently runs $1,359 on a promo against a $1,599 list price), both tracks running a 6% static drawdown. CTI carries a solid 4.3/5 Trustpilot rating from nearly 1,700 reviews. One flag worth noting: our data tracks CTI at 3 years old, but multiple review sites place its founding as far back as 2018 under founder Daniel Martin — a discrepancy of several years worth confirming directly before treating either figure as settled. Pricing beyond the entries above hasn't been independently verified on citytradersimperium.com yet.
