This isn't just a visual facelift. We've redefined the experience, combining a fully redesigned website with a powerfully upgraded dashboard that gives you everything you need to trade smarter.
Here’s what’s new in Finotive 3.0:
A New Account Homepage
The dashboard now surfaces your most important trading metrics in real time. You’ll know where you stand—what’s working, what needs attention—before the market does.
Total Rule Transparency
Every trading rule is now automated, quantifiable, and tracked live within the dashboard. Smart tooltips guide your decisions, and if a breach happens, the system shows exactly why and how to avoid it next time.
The Most Advanced Risk Calculator on the Market
Manage your risk like a pro. Our new calculator factors in real-time exposure, live prices, and your personal risk allocation, giving you crystal-clear forecasts before every trade.
One-Click Trade Editing
Need to quickly add a stop loss? Just click the risk calculator next to any open trade. Set your risk, and apply it instantly, without ever leaving your dashboard.

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.

Based on your feedback and requests for a more affordable and easier-to-complete challenge, we’re excited to introduce the For Traders 3-Step Challenge — the simplest, most budget-friendly way to earn your Master Account.

And to celebrate the launch, we’re giving you a special gift:

For a limited time only, we’ve lowered the Phase 1 profit target from 4% down to just 2%!

Here’s how it works:
✅ Phase 1: Hit just 2% profit target (launch special!)
✅ Phase 2: Reach 4% profit target
✅ Phase 3: Final push with a 6% profit target

No unrealistic goals. No extra pressure. Just your fastest path to the top.

Try the 3-Step Challenge now and get your Master Account faster and easier than ever!

This weekend, we’ll be migrating to our new CTI MT5 server.
All active accounts will be transferred automatically – your account number and password will stay the same, so there’s no need to worry about login details.

When you log in again on Monday, you’ll be prompted to set a new password for security.

New server name: citytradersimperium-real
Trading will resume as normal on Monday.
Thank you for your patience!
