City Traders Imperium Review
A versatile, rule-clear prop with multiple paths 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant & Instant Pro without time limits. Platforms are split by region (MT5 for non-US, Match-Trader for US), and weekend/overnight/news trading is allowed. Risk is transparent: 1-Step uses a 5% max trailing drawdown with no daily cap; 2-Step sets 5% daily and 10% static max DD. First payout is on-demand after ≥7 profitable days and ≥2%/$100, then monthly by default; VIP tiers upgrade cadence to on-demand and profit share up to 100% (Gold may include a one-year monthly salary). Checkout supports card, crypto, and bank transfer; assets cover FX, indices, metals, commodities, and crypto. Public Comoros license (No. L15969/CTI) and a detailed KB/T&Cs add transparency.

Caveats: standard payouts revert to monthly until you reach VIP; the U.S. and several jurisdictions are restricted. Marketing mentions a “Refundable Fee,” while T&Cs say fees are non-refundable—clarify before purchase. Instant funding starts with a lower split and a 6% static DD; payout rails aren’t fully enumerated; and accounts can’t be merged. Strong pick if you value clear rules, broad instruments, and an upgrade path—less ideal if you need weekly payouts from day one or consolidated account management.
