Terrible avoid at all cost - Imperial trading prop firm is a super scam. Flush your money down the drain, it’ll be quicker than this trash site

Avoid at all cost, late customer support and they change rules to avoid payout. Favorable entries are impossible. Please find any other platform

I’ve been trading prop firms for over three years (FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, Alpha Capital, etc.) and have passed several challenges with real funded accounts. I’ve mostly traded futures, but when I saw Yummers (YouTuber) heavily promoting Imperial’s “Instant Funding” as a way to finally get into funded options trading with no evaluation and a one-time fee, I thought this was the perfect next step. I was really excited. I feel gutted writing this. I ignored the earlier negative reviews because support kept replying with the same “it’s in the terms” script. I should’ve listened. Here’s what actually happens: 1. Their Instant Accounts are NOT instant funding. You start on a simulated account (never mentioned upfront) with a hidden 12% profit target ($3,000 on a $25k account) just to request a payout… that’s capped at $1,000. You literally can’t take out the full amount you “earned.” 2. Options fills on ETNA are brutal. You sell at the bid, buy at the ask almost every time. Anything wider than a few cents is impossible. Credit spreads, debit spreads, calendars, butterflies; strategies I know work on other funded accounts are basically dead here. 3. Unrealised drawdown uses bid/ask marks, so a tiny quote move can wipe your daily or trailing limit even if the position is fine. 4. The platform froze mid-trade (same exact trade filled instantly on two other brokers) and blew the account. They refused reset or refund. 5. They confirmed in writing it was a one-time payment… then I had my card charged again a month later. I had to freeze it as they have been so dishonest I'm scared they would continue to charge me. Imperial support will almost certainly reply here with one of their ChatGPT-style answers full of “—” dashes and the exact same robotic phrasing. That’s exactly how they convinced me to ignore the warnings last time. Please don’t fall for it like I did. I’m now filing complaints with the FTC, California AG, and BBB. (You don't have to be an American citizen to do so.) If you’ve had similar experience, please report them too. The more of us who do, the better chance we have of shutting this down and protecting other traders. There are so many honest prop firms out there that actually let you trade options on proper platforms. I wish I’d stuck with them instead. 1 star, and I’m genuinely heartbroken I fell for it.

This is one of the worst prop firms out there. ETNA is the platform they use and it does not reflect the live P&L of your positions. It makes it difficult to track intraday trailing drawdown. When I showed video proof of the platform lagging behind and not reflecting my proper P&L they didnt do anything to help me out. They said it updates in your dashboard but that makes it difficult for traders who need to make quick informed decision when scalping options. Would not recommend this prop firm. Their support is garbage. They need you to fail and blow accounts. I talked to ETNA and they have updated their platform but Imperial funding does not use the updated ETNA platform because it would make it easier for traders to pass. Stay away from this firm.

This company is completely fake. They also partnered with a trading firm called ETNA, which offers a web trading platform, but the real quotes are missing, and I have multiple screenshots to support my claim. Please do not enroll with this firm, even if they allow free enrollment. I am consulting my lawyer to file a lawsuit against Imperial Trader Funding and ETNA to recover my money.

They might as well shut this shit down lmao all their “Real reviews” are all 1 star reviews lmao rebrand or something fix those bogus rules, change that 80/20 profit split allow traders who are funded to withdraw their profits instantly they shouldn’t have to reach a profit target and be limited to only 50% of the capital they’ve made that’s not right and if yall wanna get traders to use this firm you need to re evaluate like asap

The 5 star reviews gotta be fake.. 💀 Anyways, it's a decent platform, im working on getting my first payout, but yeah the whole website needs a rework cause people genuinely think this shit is a scam, and I dont blame em! This shit looks like it was slapped together and called a propfirm?! So imma be honest, it's a little worse than "alright" but genuinely, I need help setting my stoploss on this thing, and it doesn't give me a good option for that, so yall should work on that one

There is no negative stars. If so, I will preference to choose here. I passed the funded account and I was in the leaderboard in top 2. Overall I made around 1700 dollars in three days with the live funded account and my daily profit was -44 on 4 days. They use ETNA software and showed my wrong trade which I didn't take at all. I did took 0 dte spy and the average price was 1.29. They close it for 1.18 and said I made a purchase for 2.70. Not sure how they manipulate the records in ETNA which seems to be not reliable. It ETNA shows opened at 2.70 and closed at 2.70
