They operate using their own platform, which leads to significant issues and manipulation; I submitted plenty of evidence of this. Furthermore, I received an incomplete payment; they acknowledged the error and promised to send the remainder, yet more than two months have passed without them doing so. Today, when I messaged them on Discord—since they weren't answering emails or sending the money—they suspended me from the server. They got tired of the excuses for not sending it, and I got tired of waiting too; the truth needs to be told about how they operate.

Defunct Trading Platform for Demo Period. Unfair Terms for Passing.
I opened a prop account for $100,000. I failed the demo period because of their policy on a 0.5% change in value every 3 days. I have a problem with this company because of the way their demo account is setup, they make it impossible to pass the damo period. They do not allow extended hours trading in premarket or after hours and do not allow shorting. I am short biased, so that is just how I trade in my real account. They have a 4 minute delay from the real time and sales and the chart. The web browser has a spinning wheel switching between tabs and trying to enter orders for about 10 seconds. Having to switch between the tabs and enter values in all the fields then switch to other tabs to look at my open orders, it's annoying to a point where I just can't even trade. On top of that it's paper, so it's taken out of my time I could be trading in my real account. I don't think it's worth the approximately $500 to open and I don't want to pay $200 more to have it reset or re-opened. They need to fix their demo platform to make it possible to trade the same as the real version. I'd consider them a scam company after this experience.
Response from Imperial Trader FundingFeb 16, 2026
Hi Robert,
We are sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, and get how discouraging it can feel when you put time and money into an evaluation and it doesn’t work out the way you hoped. That said, a few of the points in your review don’t line up with how the program and platform actually operate today, and I want to clarify for the sake of accuracy for other traders reading this.
Per the FAQs, all traders are eligible to have their first inactivity failure waived upon request, so a single inactivity issue doesn’t automatically mean you’re forced to pay for a reset. The consistency rule is based on a five-day period, not three days, and it’s clearly outlined in the evaluation rules. Shorting is allowed on the platform, so short-biased traders are not restricted from trading their preferred direction. Market data is real-time for PINK, AMEX, NYSE, and NASDAQ exchanges, so there is no built-in delay on those feeds.
Regarding the platform itself, earlier performance issues and bugs were a fair concern, but those have been identified and resolved. The platform has been updated to improve stability, responsiveness, and order entry so that traders can focus on execution rather than fighting the interface.
