No history of asking for reviews

This company hasn't invited their customers, so reviews may not be representative

Companies on Trustpilot aren't allowed to offer incentives or pay to hide reviews. Reviews are the opinions of individual users and not of Trustpilot. Read more

Do not buy

4 months later and I am still waiting on my payout/ refund after account being paused due to their transitioning.

Customer service is been shocking, if you write a negative review - they block your email address and block your ip from signing in.

Best advice- DO NOT BUY from this firm. I had waited 4 weeks for a payout before I wrote a negative review last time, they then threatened me with an email saying part of an NDA u cant write that. Well if you do what ur meant to do - no one will write a negative review !!
I had a funded account which was in 600 profit. They 'changed' their system or whatever they made up. All the existing traders lost their accounts and were forced to BUY a new account. They haven't paid anyone out in months. Just read all the reviews. Stay away!!!! All their 5* reviews are fake. Look at the people leaving the reviews, it's no coincidence that all the positive reviews are from people who have never left a review anywhere else apart from on here lol. Fake accounts. Fake reviews. Fake company.

fraudsters

After my review, they deleted my account and banned me by IP. They didn't respond to emails or requests for withdrawal of money for more than a month, but they respond very quickly to negative reviews. The most dishonest company I've ever worked with.

This company took away 2 accounts from…

This company took away 2 accounts from me #2131519 and #2131412 with the following wording:

"We hope you're doing well.
As we fully transition to the Real Trading Environment, all previous account types are being closed. This change ensures a more structured and sustainable trading experience for all traders.
To be eligible for a refund of the challenge fee, Step 1 or Step 2 accounts must either be in profit or have reached the funded stage. If you believe you can bring your account into profit by March 21, 2025, we can reactivate it upon request. After this date, all previous accounts will remain closed permanently.
We understand this transition may be inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out."
I did not violate any rules of trade or contract

SCAM !!!

Deceivers !!!
I traded my funded account for about 2 months and wanted to withdraw my profit (about $100 including splitting). These deceivers said “need a couple of days to check,” and then they completely stopped responding to my letters.

Don't be like me who fell for super low prices.

I purchased my account from Starter Prop Trader, and despite that, they have disabled my account without my consent. Their excuse? They are transitioning to a “Real Trading Environment” and phasing out old accounts—even though I paid for mine!

This is unacceptable. A company should honor the accounts they sold instead of forcing traders into a new system where they have to pay again just to continue. They are now offering me a “special discount” to buy into their new challenge instead of simply letting me trade the account I already paid for.

This feels like a bait-and-switch scam. They lure traders in, take their money, then change the rules and demand more payments. If you’re considering joining, stay away! This company does not respect its traders or their investments

scam

My account 53181 was deleted allegedly for inactivity, although I made trades every 30 days. They admitted their mistake and wrote that the account was restored, but it was restored only in the dashboard, I could not log into MetaTrader. As soon as my review on here was hidden, they immediately deleted my account from the dashboard again. They also banned me from Discord.

Dear Anas,

Thank you for reaching out.

We understand that your payout was initially scheduled for January 27th, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. Due to the high volume of payout requests, processing has taken longer than expected, which has led to adjustments in the payout schedule.

Your request is still in the queue, and we are working diligently to process all payouts as efficiently as possible. While we are unable to provide an exact date at this time, we will notify you as soon as your payout is ready.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Still waiting for payout
7 months waiting for payout

Dear Anas,

We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. However, it is truly disappointing to see such a review from a trader who has previously received payouts from us. We have always been committed to honoring our traders' achievements, and we regret that you feel otherwise.

As you may be aware, Starter Prop Trader is currently transitioning into the Real Trading Environment, a necessary step to eliminate payout delays and establish a more structured, stable, and sustainable trading model. While we understand that this transition has caused frustration for some, this change is essential for ensuring a better experience for traders in the long run. Our goal is to ensure that every trader is treated fairly before we fully transition.

We remain open to resolving any concerns you may have, and we encourage you to reach out to our support team if you need further clarification.

They are scam company

They are scam company. They dont pay and blocking users
Now they send me this mail...

Dear Çağıl,

Thank you for reaching out to us. However, we need to address an important matter regarding NDA.

After a thorough review, we have identified a breach of the NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) you agreed to as part of your terms with Starter Prop Trader. Specifically, you have posted a negative review on Trustpilot, which violates the confidentiality obligations outlined in the NDA. As per the terms of your agreement, such actions prevent us from proceeding with payouts or other services.

We also want to highlight that such actions, whether on Trustpilot or any other platform, not only damage our business but also harm our traders, including yourself, by disrupting operations and impacting the resources we allocate to provide timely services like payouts.

We kindly request you to reconsider your approach and remove the review in question to help maintain a professional and constructive relationship moving forward.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in resolving this matter professionally.

Best regards,
Starter Prop Trader Team

This company is a scam.

Here are some points that should be checked honestly:

1. I received my real account on November 11, 2024. I sent a withdrawal request to the support via email on November 28, 2024. The Starter Prop Trader support team
told me to postpone the payment to January 13, 2025 but they did not do as promised. Until now, I have not received the payment.

2. The leverage rate they advertise is 1:100 which is not true. When you receive a real account, your leverage will be reduced to below 1:20.

All of the above are true. Do not trust this company that is scamming traders.

Don't buy anything here

Don't buy anything here, my money has been hanging for over a month, I did all I was required to do but they have refused to pay me for no reason other than they are scammers.
I have switched to simplechange'inc, after I got a testimony about it from my work colleague. I'm happy working with them as well and I have made much more than I lost to SPT.
