Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Instant Funding?

Instant Funding allows you to skip the evaluation phase entirely. You pay a one-time fee and immediately receive a funded account where you can start earning profits. The profit split starts lower (e.g., 50%) but increases as you scale the account.

2. Can I use Expert Advisors (EAs)?

Yes, CTI allows the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) and algorithmic trading strategies. You are free to use your own bots as long as they do not exploit platform latencies or engage in arbitrage.

3. specific time limits?

For their evaluation programs, CTI offers up to one year to complete the assessment. This generous time limit removes the pressure to force trades and encourages good risk management habits.

4. How does scaling work?

Every time you reach a profit target (typically 10%), CTI will double your account size. This allows a trader to start with a small account and grow it into a multi-million dollar portfolio over time.

5. Is it regulated?

CTI is a proprietary trading firm, not a broker, so it does not hold client deposits and is not regulated as a broker. However, it is a registered UK company with a verified track record of paying its contractors.
