City Traders’ Imperium is undoubtedly one of the better prop firms out there, and their stellar reputation is (mostly) well-earned. It is worth skimming through the conditions of each funded account challenge. While CTI claims to accommodate “all trading styles” you may find you have a singular strategy that will not, after all, be accepted within the parameters of the platform.
With the above in mind, here is what we would suggest as an alternative to City Traders Imperium: a propriety trading firm which fills in the gaps above. Ideally you want to keep the good and add the missing features.
Founded in Malta in late 2022 by a group of traders and investment managers, FunderPro was born out of the need to provide an opportunity for traders to be judged on their merit without pressure or unnecessary rules. FunderPro traders can trade in their own time, for as long as they want or need, there are no deadlines looming down nor petty restrictions to trip over.
FTMO is the latest in a burgeoning series of scouting programs. Propriety trading firms or “prop firms” put traders to the test (for a fee) through evaluations and challenges. The lucky few who pass are then funded with capital, and successful trades are split down a percentage with the broker. As scouting firms go, FTMO is an excellent all-rounder. Alongside a decent 80% payout for successful traders, FTMO equips users with webinars, workshops, and coaching.
The 5%ers is a prop trading firm founded by Gil Ben Hur and Snir Chiel. Both former forex day traders, Gil and Snier, experienced first-hand the frustrations that lack of capital bring to experienced traders ready to play the markets. Hence, the 5%ers Funding Program was born: a platform to reward worthy traders with significant capital, with profits shared in a win-win outcome.
