Who used Alpari UK broker?

I do not have any experience with this broker. If you have used them, please kindly submit your review above. I would like to open a live account with them and I would need some reviws from you people.Thank you!

Hi Whiteshell,
I am using this broker live for the last 6 weeks as I live in the UK.
I do not have any experience of other brokers but Alpari for me are not good.

Re quotes are very common and at times when there is no news and liquidity should be good and the price is not moving fast.
Invalid price quotes so you cannot close a trade when you want to.
Platform freezing and just this week a spread of 30 pips on the pound dollar at 9pm uk time just as I wanted to place a buy order...hmmm.

I'm researching and looking for another one.
This is just my experience from a live micro account and would not trust them with standard lot sizes.

Cheers J

I have been using Alpari (UK) Limited for nearly a year now. Never had a problem with depositing/withdrawing money.

Dont forget, all brokers will issue requotes at times. They are there to make money out of you!

If you code your EA's correctly, then requotes dont become an issue.

Thank you very much , simcat..30 pips is huge..i don't understand how it can get there..but about the invalid prices, when you said that you can't close the tranzaction, i think that i can avoid that by using a stop loss and take profit..and it must close then. I don't know what to do, cause their spreads looks very good, but people are 50-50% pro and against. Thanks!

trading is hard enough without having added problems of the platform not responding.
I manual trade and not have an ea do it for me.

I placed a trade this morning on the pound dollar, i was going to exit the trade if my position went from +30 to +20, then it froze, when the platform became operational again 1 minute later the price was +18!
This could have easily turned into a loss.

This is very poor, if these were big orders I would be very very concerned, hence looking for a new broker.

1. Have you asked Alpari why the plateform froze ?
2. Are you sure it wasnt your machine that froze ?

Hi Scooby,

It's not my computer never had that problem, I will check it on my laptop to see if it happens on that too. This never happened on the demo.
You do get requotes on the demo and invalid price but not freezing.

Some times I think that the price has stalled but the platform hasn't updated the price, then I press the 'rescan servers' and then it updates.

Obviously Alpari will be good enough for some but not for me.

I haven't tried e-mailing them yet but was thinking about it.
If I am having problems this early on then I thinkk it best I try some one else.
Cheers J

I have been with them for while but that's enough time to move to better broker.
Alot of requotes And freez platform, Things getting bad with them by time not better!!

I traded with them. I had many problem with their MT4 platform. I had many times Context busy error message.
