City Traders Imperium8.3/10 · Forex
Genuinely swing-friendly — balance-based drawdown, no daily cap on the 1-Step, and a path to 100% + salary — but mind the 60-second stop-loss rule and the much higher first-payout bar.
Best for: Swing and position traders who hold through news and weekends and want a balance-based drawdown with no daily cap — and who are disciplined about always setting a stop-loss.
Start a City Traders Imperium challengeFundedNext8.6/10 · Forex
Fast payouts and a rare challenge-phase profit share, but balance-based drawdown that counts floating losses and a strict 'trade the same way when funded' rule that catches people at withdrawal.
Best for: Disciplined single-strategy discretionary or EA traders (MT4/MT5) who want fast, frequent payouts and won't switch instruments or ramp risk after funding.
