City Traders Imperium vs FTMO

Rules placed next to each other, with the calculation basis written out — because two firms quoting the same percentage can be measuring completely different things.

Account closed
Trading day over, account survives
Room to lose on day one
Profit still needed to pass phase one

Drawn to scale from each plan's own published numbers, on the plan compared in the table below. Day one is the only day on which every daily-loss basis agrees, which is what makes the two bars honestly comparable at all. Both maximum-loss floors sit at the same place on day one, $90,000.
