The full story
Optimal Traders' website no longer serves a working page - the root returns a bare 404 and the www subdomain a TLS error - so nothing is being sold. Review sites still carry stale pages describing it as a Dubai-based forex, metals and indices firm. PropFirmBook has not found an official closure statement, and we do not know what happened to open accounts or pending payouts.
Why isn't Optimal Traders in our directory?
Propfirmbook's directory only includes firms we actively verify and track: live challenge pricing across every account size, payout terms and profit splits, complete trading rules, restricted-country lists, and current offers — checked continuously against each firm's own site. Firms outside the directory haven't been through that process, so we can't vouch for their current terms or operations.
