HotspotFx,MBtrading,InteractiveBrokers...
Try a good ECN .You'll pay the spread and the commisions.But this is normal.If you trade stocks,futures...... you will pay the spread and the commisions.I repeat :THIS IS NORMAL TRADING.

Don't waste your time with:InterbankFX,Oanda,Alpari..... and all 0 commisions brokers or fix spread brokers:cose they will trade against you,will wait for your money.

I mean:
1.they know that 95% of the traders lose all the money
2.they will keep all the trades = if you go long on EUR/USD your broker will be short on EUR/USD = will trade aginst you=conflicts of interest = they profit if you lose money
3.they know very well the good traders becose they are the same year after year.
4.with 5% of winning traders they will : a) try all dirty games like slippage,requotes,disconnections,plug-inns,cancel of winning trades etc,etc
and if someone will be still "alive"
b)will pass the order on the interbank system

Yes this is ridiculous and should be investigated by the Ombudsman and FSA. I've been testing a small account with Alpari and every time a small amount of volatility comes into the Market at key points of support and Resistance you just cannot close or open positions. The error message you get is (Trade Context is busy) I phoned their Helpdesk. I tried to close a position 12 times.
First 3 times I got trade context is busy so I quickly closed MT4 and restarted it. Tried to close 3 times again and reloaded. Tried to close 3 times again and reloaded. The next batch I got it but the but the price on GBPUSD had then moved from 1.6409 to 1.6385 and the volatility had stopped. I phoned the helpdesk and they said:-

1) Your clicking the mouse too much. Completed more than 1 click.
2) Its something with your PC
3) Its a problem with your comms.

This happens repeatedly when you get to key points of Support and Resistance. There is nothing wrong with My mouse, My PC or my telecoms line. Alpari won't accept that it is anything to do with them but I can guarantee you that something is not right. I ran a sucessive Ping ICMP packet to the server I was connecting to while I was getting Trade Context is busy and there were no errors or lost packets. This means I had a perfect connection so "Whats going on" Just be cautious trading large amounts with accounts that operate in this manor. Its infuriating !!!!!

Yeah Alpari UK are shit. Yep, I said that correctly.

Alpari = Shit on a stick.

They will fuck your account up to no end, even on demo

Trade context busy, Please Wait, Disconection, Freezing,...shall I go on?

I got in touch with them and they pretty much said the same as they said to you, except they also mentioned it could be due to a "hiper responsive EA" which i dont use...

And now, for me telling truth they will probably ban me from the forum...

Its disgusting the things ive seen them do on my account.

You cannot possibly take these "scammers" seriously.

I repeat that:

Alpari are a bunch of rip off scammers.

Every time i test new strats out they start ok, then come the "please waits, trader context busy, disconections, huge slipages....".

Yet when im in early stages testing a method....everythin is fine...

the trade context busy error is due to an EA trying to place an order when MT4 is not ready to accept the order. That is, only one expert (script) can trade at a time. All other experts that try to start trading will be stopped by Error 146. This may occur if multiple charts with EA's are opened in the same MT4 terminal, and they each try to make a trade at around the same time. Since MT4 can only handle one order at a time, the error will occur with those EA's that can not get through to the trade context.

One of my friends went to open an account with them and when reading the contract he disagreed on several aspects that clearly contradicted themselves.

When he approached Alpari UK about this to state he wasnt happy with the conditions and for an explanation on such contradictions within the contract, Alpari UK answered back saying it was due to them being "in the process of updating the contracts" and hence he must of downloaded a conflicting one.

Seriously....this is just hilarious.

And i can go on and on with many more things.

I agree Alpari-US Sucks!! (Looks like UK is picking up some of their bad habits) They taught me the meaning of "Requote'. The connection games they play are ridiculous. I'm 1000% sure they're using the Virtual-Dealer plugin (or programmed equal to deny VD usage). They were one of the worst brokers I've ever experienced. Stay FAR Away unless you wish to DONATE your money.

Hi Barry,

It seems you have good knowledge on this, but I wasn't using any EA's and I only had two charts opened on Metatrader GBPUSD 4 hour and GBPUSD 5 min.
I also tried it on two different PC's on differnt occassions and exactly the same happened. At these times I had traffic passing to the Classic-2 server and no packets were lost. This is manual automatic or software intervention of their severs or they just cannot cope with a lot of trades being placed at key points in the Market during volatile conditions.

The previous two comments highlight what may be going on with this Broker.
You just cannot trade an Alpari account with confidence.

I had an issue with this error as I was trading an EA on 10 pairs at the same time, and as mentioned MT4 could only modify 1 order at a time. I'm confident its MT4 not the broker causing the problem... What I did to avoid this was install the same brokers platform 10 times and ran the EA on 1 pair per install... haven't had the problems since...

I dont really think You will find a good broker with 1 pip. Dont even waste your time on these. 1 pip means you are not on the market at all. A brokerage with 1 pip can not be on the market since that is not worth it for them.
Try brokerage with testable good surface. Try Ducascopy, 3TGFX, Interactive brokers.

This is not an error with the broker, it is an issue with Metatrader. MT4 can only send one order at a time, if you try to send a new order before the last order has been confirmed MT4 will give the "Trade Context Busy" error.

Try MB Trading, I think they have a spread of 0.8 with no commission. The other way is to get a rebate. IE Axi trader has a spread of 1.3 pip, and Refund FX gives you a rebate of 0.35 so your net spread is 1 pip ish. Same thing with Vantage FX. This is from a spreadsheet I got off this forum.
