Legal & rules

The Imperium Futures rulebook

Written to be readable. Every number referenced here comes from the same configuration the risk engine reads.

Program rules

  • One hard risk rule: the maximum end-of-day trailing drawdown. It is calculated server-side after each trading day closes and stops trailing at your starting balance.
  • No consistency rule, no daily loss limit and no mandatory profit buffer.
  • A Winning Day is any trading day whose net profit reaches your account's Winning Day threshold.
  • Imperium Daily requires 1 Winning Day for payout eligibility. Imperium Flex requires 3 Winning Days, which do not need to be consecutive.
  • Contract limits apply per account size. Ten micro contracts count as one mini contract.
  • Trades must last at least five seconds. Shorter trades are flagged automatically for review.
  • Overnight holding, weekend holding and news trading are permitted.
  • A maximum of 20 active accounts per trader. Sizes may be freely mixed inside a pack.

Payout policy

  • Funded simulated accounts pay 95% of eligible profit to the trader; Live accounts pay 90%.
  • Each payout request is validated against available profit, the per-session profit cap and the minimum and maximum payout for the account size.
  • After a payout is completed the drawdown reference is re-anchored to the adjusted balance.
  • Five successfully completed payouts make an account Live eligible, subject to risk and compliance review.
  • Payout requests require an approved KYC record. Requests may be paused if a compliance review is open.
  • A Funded Reset restores funded conditions after a breach and permanently preserves your payout history.

Prohibited activities

  • Exploiting simulated pricing, latency, feed errors or platform malfunctions.
  • Group or copy trading intended to hedge the same instrument across accounts or traders in order to guarantee a payout.
  • Account sharing, credential sharing, or trading an account you do not own.
  • Systematic sub-five-second scalping designed to abuse the simulation.
  • Any activity, automated or manual, whose purpose is to extract payouts without genuine trading performance.
  • Violations may result in account closure, forfeiture of pending payouts and removal from the program.

KYC & AML

  • Identity and address verification is required before the first payout.
  • Details are submitted in your dashboard and reviewed by Imperium compliance.
  • We may request additional documentation where required by applicable regulations.
  • Compliance decisions and payout holds are recorded in an internal audit log.

Risk disclosure

  • Imperium Futures challenge and funded accounts are simulated environments. They are educational and evaluative products.
  • Nothing on this website is investment advice, a solicitation, or a promise of profit or employment.
  • Trading futures involves substantial risk. Past simulated performance does not indicate future results.
  • Challenge, pack and reset fees are fees for access to the evaluation service and are not deposits or investments.
  • Program parameters — targets, drawdown, caps, splits and limits — are configurable and may change for new accounts.
