City Traders Imperium: EAs & copy trading
▶City Traders Imperium EAs vs Copy Trading: What Gets You Banned — 42s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
EAs are fully allowed on the 1-Step — personal, commercial and third-party bots, with no proof of ownership required. Martingale and grid are explicitly allowed. Prohibited: copy trading from a signals marketplace, copying other traders' EAs, and renting/sharing your EA to other CTI traders.
The gotcha
Third-party EAs are welcome, but copy trading is banned — a subtle distinction that catches signal-followers.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
