Hi.
So far i am pleased with Alpari.
I noticed some quotation differences between the quotation of my EA/mirror trader and the alpari quotation. Don't know who is to blame, as i get the quotes from Alpari.
Is it MT4 you use? The Pro version or the basic? I'm asking because it seems their demo goes off line alarmingly frequently ... any insight you have could be helpful. ie., do you trade all or which sessions are you present for (for example it's 1pm NY time and their demo is 'no connection' and I've had it happen daily for disconcerting periods like 20/30 and more minutes) - something especially ludricrous, given they have 6 'demo' servers listed.

Agreed their demo servers are a bit poor. I often find at the start of a new daily candle the connection will just get dropped. Very annoying

Alpari seem to have a massive stall when you are trying to close a trade in profit but have no problems when negative

Thank you mate! Really usefull info! I am now between OANDA and ALPARI. I' ll have to make a solid choice.

Regards

hi

i would say that both alpari and oonda are better than the rest.

i suggest you open up a demo account with both. thier mt4 charts are very good. easy to upload indis and ea's on alpari, function well.

i have been using the demo of alpari for nearly 1 year, just for the charts. not dissapointed yet.,

oonda is extremely good for live trading.

if you are based here in the u.k. i suggest you use IG INDEX for your live trading. the best here in the u.k. you can hedge, open multiple positions on the same pair without issues. execution is pretty fast also.

i use them for live trading and alpari for my charts and signals. also oonda.


if you are a person who likes charts that are bright and colourful and less stressful, try the charts on fxcm.....

I am currently using the Alpari demo on their MT4 plattform and seems erally good. I will probably open a live account with them. I would prefer oanda but I have heard that their pattform "freezes" sometimes. Anyway, I'll try their demo as well and then I'll make my choice.

Alpari demo account has the same conditions (spread) as Alpari Pro account. To open Pro account they require minimum deposit $20K. Their regular account are also good but not as good as pro. Keep this in mind.

No problem, my friend. Can you tell me what disadvantages has Alpari. And Advantages has Oanda.

About Alpari i don't like minimum deposit value.

John, what is the difference between Alpari standard account and Alpari pro account.

I know about minimum deposit and lot size, commission and spread. More interesting about standard account term and conditions.

Can anyone with a Alpari Pro MT4 account confirm they have a 3 lot minimum for any spot trade?

That means if you test them with a $20K account opening, you're risking 15% on any trade? Margin can't be far away, and I doubt one could get 2 spot fx trades out of your account given margin requirements. Are they feeling OK or is that their way of assuring a stop out or margin call and some hefty profits to them?

EDIT: I see that Kostas1 confirmed this here. I am still in awe that they would enforce this with any seriousness - many similar-tier competitors do not have anything like this, and Alpari themselves has a 0.1 lot trading minimum on their Direct/Direct Pro accounts, which provide the same spread & commission. If anyone with an actual account can confirm, it would be appreciated.

@ LocoGuy

I never had Alpari Standard account, so can't tell you the difference. I know that they have higher spread and no commission. Demo account is the same to Pro account, so don't know they to find out everything except opening a live account.

They can always say its because of this or that, and how do i know thats true? Feels like im getting something warm, yellow and wet on my head here.

I have Alpari Pro account. Everything works well: spread is low, no lagging. During Asian sessions goes a little bit higher than I expected.

I spoke to alpari uk a few days ago regarding charting for demo/ and standard / pro and was told theyre all the same however I do notice that there is considerable spikeiness sometimes, the price maybe doesnt print for a minute or so but when normal activity resumes the erratic candle will print but late, also candle lag and not always when price moves fast either, quite a few connection drops aswell
I would be interested to Know which people regard as the most stable MT4 package for charts thanks
