Main Benefits

Equities, options and CME futures in one unified account with a single drawdown. Level 4 options access covering multi-leg strategies. Overnight and weekend holding permitted, positions may be held up to 45 days, so swing trading is supported. One-time evaluation fee with no monthly subscription, refunded on the first valid payout. No time limit on standard evaluations. News trading allowed. Elite plans carry no daily loss limit. Foundation drawdown is static and never trails up.

Main Drawbacks

Not regulated by any financial authority; its own terms say it is not a broker or registered adviser and acts solely as an education firm. The binding Terms of Service state NO REFUNDS, contradicting the help centre 14-day refund window. The homepage advertises scaling to 20 accounts while the help centre caps a trader at 5 evaluations, 3 sim-funded and 1 live. Support is 8:30am-6pm EST weekdays, not the 24/5 claimed. TrustPilot is 3.1 from 50 reviews.

About Imperial Trader Funding

Imperial Trader Funding is a US retail proprietary trading firm operated by Imperial Funding LLC, specialising in US equities and options with CME futures available as an add-on. Its terms of service are governed by the laws of the State of California with jurisdiction in Orange County, California. Trading takes place exclusively on the firm's own proprietary in-house platform; the Rithmic add-on supplies the futures instruments. Three programmes are sold: Elite, a 1-step evaluation on an EOD trailing drawdown with no daily loss limit; Foundation, a 2-step evaluation on a static drawdown with a daily loss limit set at 50% of the maximum drawdown; and Instant, which places the trader directly into a Sim-Funded account with no evaluation. Passing traders enter a Sim-Funded stage, must build a 7% safety buffer before any payout, and may withdraw a lifetime total of 7% of the account size there before a risk manager reviews them for transition to a Live account, where the consistency rule is removed and the split becomes a bespoke individual agreement. Instruments are limited to NYSE and NASDAQ listed stocks trading above $5.00 with over 1,000,000 average daily volume, and equity and index options on strikes with open interest of 500 or greater. Payouts are processed through RISE and batched every Friday. The firm is not regulated by any financial authority and its terms state it is not acting as a broker, registered investment adviser or licensed financial adviser.

Amounts

Maximum per payoutNot documented

Profit buffer required7% of the starting balance must be earned as a profit cushion before any withdrawal, and that buffer cannot itself be withdrawn. Once the buffer exists the account floor is set at 1% above the starting balance. Instant Funding accounts are documented with both a 12% and a 7% safety threshold on different pages.

Split scalingSim-Funded splits are fixed per plan. The Live environment has no standardised split; each trader receives a bespoke consultancy agreement. On the separate Elite Futures plan the trader keeps 100% of the first $10,000 and 90% thereafter.

Requirements

Min trading days3

Consistency for payout33% daily consistency rule is active in the Evaluation and Sim-Funded stages and removed in the Live environment. Instant Funding accounts use a 15% daily cap.

Eval fee refunded on 1st payoutYes

Payout proof / KYCNot documented

ScheduleSim-Funded traders may request a payout every three valid trading days. Live traders may request at the end of every logged trading day. Instant Funding accounts request every 6 valid trading days. Approved payouts are batched and sent to RISE every Friday; if a US bank holiday falls on a Friday, processing moves to the following Friday.

Additional payout notes

In any environment, a minimum of $500 can be requested. The maximum withdrawal request on the Sim-Funded environment is the Withdrawal Cap listed. There is no maximum withdrawal request limit for the Live environment.

See how these rules compare against every other firm in the prop firm rules comparison.

Challenge vs Funded

Consistency rule Challenge: 33% daily consistency: no single trading day's net profit may exceed 33% of total profit or of the evaluation target. Published caps are $825 on $25k, $1,650 on $50k, $2,475 on $75k, $3,300 on $100k and $4,125 on $125k. Instant Funding accounts instead use a 15% daily cap. The separate Elite Futures plan uses a 40% consistency rule in evaluation. Funded: The 33% daily consistency rule remains active throughout the Sim-Funded stage and is removed entirely in the Live environment. On Elite Futures the consistency rule is removed once Sim-Funded.

Drawdown type Challenge: Elite: End-of-day trailing. Equity may not drop below peak EOD equity less the plan drawdown. Foundation: Static, anchored to the starting balance and never trailing up, with a daily loss limit of 50% of the maximum drawdown. Instant: End-of-day trailing until the safety threshold is reached. Funded: Same drawdown type carries into Sim-Funded. Once the 7% buffer is built the account floor becomes a static hard-breach level 1% above the starting balance. On the $1M Elite the EOD trailing drawdown locks into a static floor at $1,010,000.

Drawdown & risk

Daily loss resetIf your account equity drops by more than $2,000 from the start of the day at any point during the session, the account is failed.

Max position sizeTraders are restricted to a maximum of 10% position sizing relative to their account's buying power

Max leverageNot documented

Min trade durationNot documented

Challenge lifecycle

Time limitNo expiration on standard evaluations as long as the trader remains active. Large cap accounts are an exception: the $1M Elite carries a 60 day pass deadline, and once funded a payout must be achieved within 45 days or the account fails.

Inactivity ruleA valid trading day requires the ending balance to move at least 0.25% from the starting balance. Evaluation and Sim-Funded accounts must record a valid trading day at least once every five trading days or the account is closed automatically; on closure a one-time payout of 50% of accrued profits is issued. Live accounts must record one every 30 calendar days.

Reset feeElite: $200 (25k), $350 (50k), $650 (100k), $1,000 (250k), $3,000 (1M). Foundation: $120 (25k), $200 (50k), $300 (75k), $380 (100k), $450 (125k). Instant accounts cannot be reset.

Reset policyResets are available only on failed Evaluation accounts, never on Sim-Funded or Live accounts. A reset restores the starting balance and zeroes all drawdown and consistency metrics.

Scaling planAccount limits per trader: up to 5 active evaluations, up to 3 accounts simultaneously in Sim-Funded, and 1 Live account. Account size and type are locked after purchase and cannot be upgraded, downgraded or swapped. Futures contract limits apply only when the Rithmic add-on is enabled: Elite 4/8/14/25/55 minis at 25k/50k/100k/250k/1M, Foundation 2/4/6/8/10 minis at 25k/50k/75k/100k/125k, Instant 3/5/10/30 minis at 25k/50k/100k/500k, with 1 mini equal to 10 micros.

Instruments & restrictions

Allowed instrumentsUS equities on the NYSE and NASDAQ trading at or above $5.00 with average daily volume above 1,000,000 shares. Equity and index options on NYSE and NASDAQ strikes carrying open interest of 500 or greater; Level 4 options approval covers multi-leg strategies including butterflies, iron condors and covered calls. CME, CBOT and COMEX futures via the Rithmic add-on: /ES, /NQ, /YM, /RTY, /ZN, /ZB, /CL, /GC, /SI, /HG and all Micro E-mini contracts.

Prohibited strategiesHigh-frequency trading, latency arbitrage and rapid-fire botting. Price manipulation including wash trading, spoofing and layering. Brokerage exploitation to obtain extraordinary fills. Trading multiple accounts under different names or nominee accounts, under a one person one account policy. Evergreening losing options positions by repeated rolling.

Additional rules

SCOPE NOTE, futures-only programmes are NOT included in challenges[] because no rendered pricing card for them was observed this session. The firm publishes two additional futures-only product lines whose rules differ from the equities plans above. Elite Futures is a 1-phase plan with no daily loss limit, a 40% evaluation consistency rule and a 100% split on the first $10,000 then 90/10, published at 25k drawdown $1,500 target $1,500, 50k $2,000/$3,000, 100k $3,000/$6,000 and 150k $4,500/$9,000, with payouts eligible after 5 profitable trading days and then daily, and no activation fees. Futures Foundation is a 2-step static-drawdown plan at 25k targets $1,250/$875 drawdown $1,000 DLL $500, 50k $2,500/$1,750 drawdown $2,000 DLL $1,000 and 100k $5,000/$3,500 drawdown $4,000 DLL $2,000, on a 90/10 split. The SPA bundle additionally carries futures-only price arrays (Elite Futures $94/$128/$197/$434 and Foundation Futures $70/$91/$124/$158/$200) whose 25k Elite Futures drawdown and target disagree with the help-centre article, so those plans are deliberately withheld pending a rendered-card check. The Rithmic futures add-on is priced by account size at $70 (25k), $90 (50k), $110 (75k), $130 (100k), $150 (125k), $200 (250k), $120 (500k) and $250 (1M); it is mandatory and not removable on the $1M Elite. The same 10% intraday capital usage rule applies to futures margin, and positions held overnight are subject to a 5% usage rule.
