    Smart Prop Trader (now closed)

    Smart Prop Trader was a US-based proprietary trading firm, founded in 2022, that ran both 1-step and 2-step evaluation models.

    It announced its closure on 19 December 2024 and trading ended around 29 December. The old smartproptrader.com domain now 301-redirects to fxnity.com, a different company (a forex broker, not a prop firm). The product can no longer be bought, and we do not recommend it.

    The closure was not an isolated event. More than 50 firms in this industry stopped operating during 2024, and Smart Prop Trader was reported as one of them.

    Why we label this “caution”

    Our methodology reserves the “caution” label for firms with a regulatory action or enforcement history, or firms whose service has stopped. No regulatory action against Smart Prop Trader is on record, but the service has stopped, so “caution” is the label the criteria produce.

    About the 4.3 on Trustpilot

    Read on 2026-07-31, the Trustpilot profile still shows 4.3/5 across 2,508 reviews — 87% five-star, 7% one-star — with no guidelines-breach or fake-review notice.

    That figure is an aggregate effectively frozen at closure. More than eighteen months have passed since the firm stopped trading, so it says nothing about current reliability or ability to pay. On our comparison table the number is marked “legacy” and excluded from score-based sorting.

    What the case shows

    First, a high third-party score can stay on display right up to closure. The 4.3 was no guarantee that the firm would still be operating.

    Second, only about ten days separated the closure announcement from the end of trading. If your capital is concentrated at one firm, that may not be enough time to react.

    Third, an old domain redirecting to a different company is common in this industry. The fact that a URL still resolves does not mean the same operator is behind it.
