DislikedHi Alpari, today your avarage spread on euro/usd is almost 2.0, what is going on, usually you avarage 1.6a, any commentsIgnored
DislikedHi magicpips,
We are constantly striving to provide our customers with better spreads. Our base spread on a currency pair such as the EURUSD remains 1.6.
[font=Verdana][size=2][color=black]There have been, and will continue to be, opportunities to trade on prices that are tighter than this. However since we exert no control over the prices we receive we cannot state with what frequency these opportunities will occur. Our price feeds come from...Ignored

Dislikedsorry, I know this is UK,and I'm alpari-u.s but in the recent week, I tried to withdraw fund, and the agent make up some bullshit rule and said that I can only withdraw fund with credit card within 6 months, which never happens to me before. I withdrew everyday, before. Wire costs 20 usd, check is free, take times but I'm not even at home.Ignored
DislikedAt the moment..
Eur/Nzd spread 17 pips ? (Oanda 4.7 pips)
Gbp/Nzd 11 pips ? (Oanda 8 pips)
Gbp/Aud 6 pips ? (Oanda 4)
Nzd/Jpy 8 pips (Oanda 2.5)
and there are some other 8 pips spread pairs ??!
Please say to me that today is something special and that aren't the usual spreads for this pairs,
because that would be a joke.
And if it is so, please explain why there is such a big difference to other brokers ??
Disappointing.

DislikedAre there any differences when using the MT4 platform for spread betting e.g. different spreads. Or are your pricing structures, and everything else for that matter identical for spread betting?Ignored
DislikedHi 4Xfactor,
You're correct. With Alpari UK, you can spread-bet on the MetaTrader4 (MT4) platform – one of the most popular trading platforms in the world.
Spread betting has become very popular in the UK over the past few years. There's a good reason for that – all spread betting profits are tax free‡ in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, so you will keep all you make.

DislikedHow much tax do you pay on the ECN platform then or is that built into the commissions?Ignored
QuoteDisliked...a price spike results due to a bad tick (or incorrect price) from the liquidity providers that make it through into the price feed. Alpari (UK) merely reflects prices provided.
QuoteDisliked...multiple liquidity providers who stream prices to us. The best bid and ask price is automatically fed into the platform.
DislikedI've never understood this.
You state:
So why not incorporate a simple function before price is re-distributed to client Mt4 platforms? If there's a huge price anomoly, then you negate that price and use the next tick price in the feed pool / heap.
int percentAnomaly = 10; 'don't allow any prices above 10% for example
double percentDifference = ((currentPrice - lastPrice) / lastPrice) * 100
if (percentDifference > percentAnomaly) feedPrice = price(1);
...when a simple code fix would not allow spurious prices to ever hit client MT4's.Ignored
DislikedInstead, brokers rely on clients to catch candle anomalies that may occur in the dead-of-night and give them 24 hours to raise the issue, else your account can't be indemnified.Ignored
