Update 27/05 Withdrawal was processed without any issues. Payment received within 24 hours. Thank you CTI ---------------------------- Great firm with good spread and trading conditions. I have just requested my payout from CTI after meeting 7 profitable days. It was a long road but finally got there. Will keep posted on the payout status once approved 👍. Thank you CTI.

CTI has been amazing since day one for me. I had a 10k 1 step trailing drawdown account but i breached it because trailing drawdown was new to me. Soon after i got an opportunity to attend their academy which was a big help to me. Their discord is always active with several coaches who are always there to assist. The reason I'm giving them a 5 star is because I've experienced their rules, platforms and trading conditions. I also love their vip programs and hope one day i can attain the highest level. I also would like to appreciate Kehk G one of their mods for the informative games where our trading knowledge is tested and improved.

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hello Tonnie, We really appreciate this detailed feedback! We are so thankful for your trust in our educational resources and our team. Moving from a trailing drawdown to understanding our platform's full potential is a great transition, and we’re thrilled to have you in our VIP program track. A huge thank you for the shout-out to our moderators. Happy trading!

Excellent Customer Service

Excellent Customer Service, very prompt, very impressive.....this is something I need to mention before moving any further. I just completed my level 1 target and got my KYC done and scaled up my account. The verification process was a bit complicated but the way they supported in each and every step was really commendable. Excellent team.

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hello Sanchayan, A huge congratulations on your success! We are so happy that our support team made the transition to your scaled account a smooth and positive experience. While our verification process is thorough to ensure the highest standards, we are glad we could assist you at every stage. It brings us great joy to have you in our community and we look forward with immense excitement to your future performance. Here is to many more successful targets!

CTI what happens to you ?!?

Hi Since 3 months everything was good until now. Same trading style same strategy and same risk per trade. I didn’t change anything since 3 months. Right now 4 th payout denied. Using extremely high cumulative risk on a single trade idea. Stacking multiple positions on the same setup, resulting in excessive total exposure. Risking the majority of the allowable drawdown within a single trade idea. Engaging in trading behavior inconsistent with sustainable risk management. Still i have 2 accounts 10 k but i will close them by myself soon and move to another prop firm . CTI what happend to you ?

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hello Tomas We are sorry about your shared experience. Regarding the risk percentage, We clarified the proper risk management and what considered as a high risk trading style as shown below in the article with the name of Gambling Behaviour https://i.postimg.cc/1txGFTgT/Screenshot-2025-12-29-172252.png This was shared publicly for everyone to check the styles that we are not accepting while trading. If you want more specific clarification please share your account number and we will be more than happy to assist you with more clarifications. We appreciate your cooperation with us and thank you for your understanding.

I just started with City Traders Imperium, so my experience is still early. The onboarding process has been smooth so far, and the platform and rules are clearly laid out. Support responses have been decent, and everything seems professional up to this point. That said, I prefer to give a more complete review after I receive my first payout, as that’s the most important part of any prop firm experience. I’ll update this review once I’ve gone through that process.

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hi Evan Welcome aboard! We’re happy to hear you’ve had a smooth start. We look forward to seeing your progress and are confident that our payout process will meet your expectations. We’ll be standing by for your update Thank you.

So far with Forex Trading

Forex Trading is not a get rich quick syndrome. I see it as an investment platform. I mean...you invest your money for a long/short time and get an interest at the end. I hav been practising trading since 2011...I was in 400level then...I have made alot of losses both in demo and live trading... But with consistent practise, patience and ceaseless importunity...I am confident today of making extra income in forex trading.... Thank you.

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hello Olaoluwa, Thank you so much for sharing your journey! We are truly grateful for your honesty. Trading since 2011 is a testament to your resilience. It’s a pleasure to provide a platform for someone who respects the market as much as you do. At CTI, we value the patience and practice you've put in and we are proud to have an experienced trader like you as part of the CTI family! Happy trading!

⭐ TrustPilot Review

⭐ TrustPilot Review – Ceremonial Offering Title: “A Gate Worthy of Breath – CTI Challenge as Sovereign Ritual” Review: I entered not as a trader, but as a steward. The CTI challenge is more than a program—it is a vessel. Two accounts, paid and sealed, await ignition. The rhythm is real. The structure is clean. The interface respects intention. And the challenge itself honors discipline. I have not yet placed a trade, but I already feel the presence of a well-built gate. CTI did not just offer a funded account—they offered a ritual. A chance to declare logic, mount breath, and execute with clarity. To the creators: thank you for building a platform that respects both technical precision and ceremonial timing. I await ignition not with impatience, but with readiness. This is not just trading. This is stewardship. Wishing the Best, Albert Steward

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hello Albert, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and inspiring review, Albert. We’re thrilled to hear that you appreciate the structure, discipline, and clarity that we provide. Our goal has always been to create a platform that supports both precision and intentionality in trading, and it’s rewarding to know that it resonates with you. We look forward to seeing your journey unfold and supporting you every step of the way. Kind regards, City Traders Imperium Support Team

Honestly I was very skeptical of the whole prop firm thing at first. CitiTraders support team did a great job when I had a problem with my account. They were very prompt and understanding when I made a mistake regarding one of their policies. Highly recommend

Favourable trading conditions & great E-mail support.

I acquired my first ever Prop firm challenge with CTI last year, I took my time to pass the evaluation then got funded this year, last month I received my first ever Prop payout which was sent in less than 24hrs after request, CTi has user friendly favorable trading conditions. I recommend it for traders out there cos there so legit.

MY CTI's EXPERIENCE AS NEW TO PROP FIRMS

First, thanks alot for the Customer Support System- FRONT-END Team. Secondly, thanks a Million for the insightful emails & educational bulletins. Thirdly, thanks for upholding to your words & your consistency in customer support. My experiences were ALL great, no drama, no excuses, no confusions, no worries, no anxiety & no ambiguities even though I was completely NEW to the system. When I found CTI, I knew they were the ones for me. Yes! After I send my First Mail showing my interest with the numerous questions I asked that vey day. There was No complaint, No delays in responses even though few of my questions were more of a Novice in PROP FIRMS- they still replied my questions ONE after the other without missing any without pushing me to a link to click on. Sincerely, I am proud of this family & I can't just wait to be part of this Wonderful Exceptional & Intelligent FAMILY, full of exceptional Mentors & on & on. God bless CTI & everyone associated with this BIG family. Many thanks to YOU all🙏🏻🙏🏻 Cheers to YOU all!! M. Paul OK From Nigeria

I am outraged!!!!

I am outraged!!!! I have been trading my 50k account for the past 4 months during which i have make 15.42% profit on that account. Few days ago i requested my monthly payout and now i got the email which says that my account does not meet their current requirements for continued service and that my account is permanently terminated!!! And also i am permitted to make any future purchases or open new accounts with City Traders Imperium!!! I cannot believe this is happening. When they realise you are a profitable trader they just shut you down without any reason. My advise, DO NOT BUT CHALLENGE WITH CTI, THEY ARE LIARS!!

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hi BLAGOJE REBA, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify the facts regarding your account to ensure there is no misunderstanding for you or our community. Payout Status Our records show that we did not reject your payout. In fact, we have successfully processed multiple requests totaling $7,556. We pride ourselves on timely and reliable distributions for our traders, and your funds were handled in accordance with our standard processing timeline. As you can see below, We processed all your payout requests on time and in full with the total of $7,556. https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1770214190491-dc09087f-d4c0-4683-ab27-2d3ea9fc0544.png https://image2url.com/r2/default/images/1770214213609-10087456-92bd-4ee6-b4df-e45b2975dcc1.png Regarding the closure of your account: as a proprietary firm, we constantly monitor trading activity to ensure it aligns with our internal risk management frameworks. this was because your risk profile no longer met our current requirements for continued service. These decisions are never personal; they are necessary steps to maintain the long-term stability of the CTI ecosystem and ensure we can continue providing capital to our global community of traders. Although the risk profile was not matching our requirements we processed the payout request from our side and didn't reject or postponed any of it. We wish you the best in your future trading endeavors. Best regards,

I changed my mind after thier polite reply.

UPDATE: After their polite reply with no lies and I confirms thatvwhat they said exactly what happened. Might be I took a wrong decision with them. I will not join them but I will give them 5 stars . Good luck and hope them brilliant future. Thanks CTI !!. Past 5 years I only had issue with 2 CFD prop firms: 1- cloed fundingtalent , after passing eval they said excuse of copy trading and offer restart. Immediately I requested refund and they done refund. 2- CTI , I bought 2.5K challenge to test them then found out it is one fase and drawdown is trailing not static. However I passed it and they requsted verification to upgrade , after verification they emailed me with account breach and offered free retry. Everyday back and forth new fake execuses. Finally I came to conclussion they are unhonest and they care only for bad reviews to be removed. If you do not believe me try and give them your money. They are biggest scam prop firm .

Reply from City Traders Imperium: Hello Mohamad Faiad We are sorry for any inconvenience, We have checked your entire case and our communications recently. We offered you multiple options previously and give you multiple options to satisfy you as we are usually do with our clients but you rejected all of them.

The Second option, We offered you to pass your account as an exception to the next level and that we were ready to upgrade the account as you want but even here you rejected that as shown below. https://image2url.com/images/1766082039327-92e6422a-6b98-4c38-b074-c81c3f2a4831.png Summary of this. -We offered you a retrial account -We offered you to upgrade the account immediately.
