Alpari connection

All

Anyone know why I can't connect to any of the Alpari servers today, Saturday 29th March 14:00 GMT, been trying since around lunchtime both on demo & live, I realise its the weekend & cant trade but I can still normally connect to the servers & review open positions, also I have accounts with IBFX & FXDD & a few others & not having this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

My Alpari demo works. I clicked through the servers down under the connection bars and all but one of them connected. I don't have any open trades but I opened charts on pairs I never use and the charts filled. I just tried this 5 minutes before this post. 14:10 GMT

My alpari demo account is down also. I'm running the latest build #215.
Tried rescanning all 4 servers from within the platform...nothing.
Tried pinging all 4 from an independent on line utility...nothing.

My demo platforms with three other brokers (mad tester here) are fine.

I'm not at all techy but it may have something to do with alpari opening their US office. They could bringing new servers online? If it is new servers they may be transferring some existing clients to the new equipment?

Moves like that are rarely smooth. This is just a guess. We'll know by Monday.

Good Luck

Thanks for the replies, Im probably being a bit paranoid, but as Ive now got 10K with Alpari I want to be sure my money is as safe as possible.


Ive opened other accounts with other brokers but still Alpari have been my favourite so far.

Im an IT Director and know well that moving new servers online is not simple. I'll just have to be a bit more patient.

Your prbably find this occurs fairly regularly at weekends on alpari servers, at least it looks like they do maintenance unlike some.

Indeedy, and I'd rather they did it on a weekend than any other time (some may consider 11pm on a weekday fine but I may be watching things for a position).

I'm also having the same problem and not able to connect to my alpari demo account. I've had a demo account with them for about 7 months and never noticed this on a weekend. Maybe it happened previously on a weekend I wasn't on. Does anyone know if this happens regularly?

Thanks.
