City Traders Imperium Instant Funding

Simulated account

Per the terms (cl. 2.4) all accounts are simulated demo accounts; no live capital is traded. Successful clients may, at CTI's discretion, be invited to a separate agreement with a third-party regulated broker (cl. 2.5). The help-centre articles on Instant and Direct Funding, by contrast, say "Real funding from the start — no simulation or test".

The floor stays fixed at the starting balance minus the limit.

"6% static from initial balance"; the plan-table amounts equal 6% of the starting balance (50% of the account size). Per the help article on the absolute drawdown open losses (equity) count for the stop-out; the programme page, by contrast, calls the floor balance-based ("No equity based drawdown"). The table does not state the amount after the account doubles.

other consequence

Only for scaling, not for passing and not for payouts: largest single day (profit or loss, absolute) divided by the sum of the absolute daily results of all trading days; at most 20%, otherwise the account is not sized up. Example: days +4,000, −2,000, +3,000, +4,000, +2,000, −2,000, −4,000 → 4,000 ÷ 21,000 = 19.05%.
