If you lost money call them. They are quite reasonable and usually sort it out.
I sent them a mail, its not like its huge money or anything. So ill see what they say about it. I will keep you guys posted.

I give a lot of spread money compared to what i make for myself so they should be really glad to have me as a customer.

Ive heard some good some bad, if you trade once a week i dont think it matters to much what broker you have, if you trade 100 times a week it matters a whole lot.

Can you confirm the spreads of Alpari.com is one way or 2 way? (Classic account - for Eur/Usd pair)

Are they taking 1.8 pip while buy a lot & again 1.8 pip while sell the same lot. So total is = 3.6 pip <or>
only one way 1.8? for the lot from open/closing?

Can anybody clarify for me?

Hi All,
I have withdrawn fund from account with Alpari many time in the past but last Fri I got this strange query from Alpari
**

Dear Sir,

We have received a withdrawal request from you however there appears to be minimal activity on your trading account since your last deposit.

Could you please offer us an explanation as to why this is the case.

Once we receive your answer we will be able to process your request.
Many Thanks and apologies for any inconvenience caused.

**
Since my last deposit (7 Jan 2011), I have made 10 trades, 5 trades already closed, 5 trades still open, plus I also closed 12 trades (opened before the last deposit). This is on one account. I have another account (I deposited a sum and then spread it across my two accounts to avoid paying fee). On this account, I have opened 14 trades since the last deposit (10 trade already closed and 4 trades still open).
So I am not sure what explanation they want. and Why do I need to explain??? Perhaps, they think the money in my account is NOT my money???
Do you experience the same issue?
Please share your comments.
Thanks

Its none of their business why you trade or not. Ask for an explanation why they require this info before sending you your money back. CC the FSA or the financial ombudsman if they dont come up with a really convincing answer.

Reading this thread, I am convinced now that the best way to go is with Interbank Fx. Does anyone has any experience with Interbank? Such as withdrawing with the debit card, spread and the general function of the MT4 Platform? You help would be very much appreciated on this matter.

Regards,

You need to learn more about what spreads are in general, this is perhaps not the place to do so, this is a thread about Alpari.

Spread is money you pay your broker, they dont care if you are going short or long.

Hi all,
I took Shrike's suggestion and asked for an explanation, they replied saying that they didn't realised I had some trades earlier and therefore the withdrawal is now processed. Good ending but the whole thing could be avoided if they had looked at my account carefully before sending out query email.

Cheers

I have a number of live Alpari accounts Micro and Classic for over 1 year and never had a problem other than I could swear stops were hunted on a few occasions as it just seemed to weird that it comes down to just where I am for no reason takes me out and goes up again. But never can tell.

The only thing to be aware is the 2 lot restriction on the micro which I fell foul of a few times (as I had totally forgotten) and my orders and pending orders kept getting cancelled.

Please find below Alpari UK’s official response to the above enquiry:

Market prices in any freely tradeable product are usually quoted as 2-way prices, that is, they comprise of a Bid (lower) and Offer (higher).
Anyone coming to trade with any counterparty will either disclose their interest, i.e. ask for a specific Buying or Selling price, (in which case the spread can be hidden), or request a 2-way price, i.e. the level at which your counterparty will Buy and Sell (where the spread is transparent).

Alpari always quote 2-way prices, which apply regardless of whether you are opening or closing a trade.
This is in accordance with Best Practice in all financial markets.

I have account with Alpari, everything very good so far, but, honestly, I didn't try to withdrawal money so far, but execution time is ok. Spread is a little bit high but when I'll switch to Pro account - this problem will be solved.
Almost got it or far far away. Result is the same - you didn't get it!

Hey, guys. The question is adressed to those who ever tried Alpari. Is it good? Problems with withdrawals or scalps?

There are problems yes, requotes in fast moving market and TPs dont close when they should but 3 seconds after, meaning the trade can go into loss instead of profit and such. I trade fast mostly less then 5 min, some would probably call it scalping, depends on your definition.
