8 years. Thank you.
This month marks a big one for us: City Traders Imperium turns 8.
Reaching 8 years in this industry is rare, very few firms get to say it, and we don't take that for granted for a second. We've been here since 2018, still paying traders.
Eight years is a lot of payouts, a lot of funded accounts, and a lot of traders who trust CTI.
If you're one of them ,thank you. You're the reason we've made it this far.
To everyone who's traded with us, sent a payout screenshot, joined the Discord, come back after blowing an account, or just stuck around: this milestone is yours as much as ours.
To mark 8 years, we're saying thanks with an exclusive anniversary discount use code MATCH at checkout.
Here's to the next 8. 🥂

City Traders Imperium Turns 7
This month, CTI celebrates 7 years of supporting traders across the globe.
Since 2018, we’ve stayed committed to one mission:
Backing serious traders with the tools, funding, and trust they deserve.
Over the past seven years, we’ve grown from a small team with a big vision into one of the most established names in the prop trading space, known for transparency, consistency, and a trader-first approach.
To every trader who’s joined us on this journey:
Thank you for your trust.
We wouldn’t be here without you.
Here’s to many more years of building the future of prop trading together.

THE WAIT IS OVER: MT5 IS BACK — UNDER CTI’S
The MT5 migration is complete.
The sleepless nights, countless tests, and relentless focus — all of it has brought us to this moment.
For the past 6 months, our team has worked around the clock to bring it back, better than ever, and fully under CTI’s brand.
This is not just a return. This is a rebirth.
Massive respect to our tech team for pulling this off without compromise to deliver a stable, secure platform that our traders can rely on.
But this goes beyond technology. This isn’t just a platform upgrade — it’s the result of months of building, of securing our international broker license, and laying the foundation for long-term growth.
We did this for one reason:
So you're not just trading with another prop firm — you're building your future with a firm that’s built to last.
CTI is now both a prop firm and a broker, giving us the power to create the best possible trading environment for you.
That means more stability, more freedom, and more opportunity for YOU.
To everyone who believed in us, supported us, and stayed loyal — thank you. Your trust kept us going.
