I am UK based , and new to any kind of trading.
Have read a lot though.

I was planning to open the MT5 account.

From previous posts, I know it is possible to use credit cards for deposits and bank transfer for withdrawal.

Few queries :

[1] I was wondering if I can use MT4 software on the MT5 account. Some issues with incompatible indicators from the books I have read.
[2] Can the account be in pound sterling instead of dollars .

[1] I was wondering if I can use MT4 software on the MT5 account. Some issues with incompatible indicators from the books I have read.
Unfortunately not. MT4 and MT5 are different platforms that use different programming languages (MQL4 on MT4 and MQL5 on MT5).

It can indeed.

no they are gonna ship the VIRTUAL server to your door. You must set up your VIRTUAL server, connect it to a valid internet connection, valid power socket, make sure the room is adequately cooled so your VIRTUAL server runs optimally. Also make sure your VIRTUAL server is set in a private location, because you do not want prying eyes to look at your trading.

im sorry, i'll stop now

im just kidding.... or am I ???

I don't know if this happening because of me or it is a brokers fault but my SL is executed way faster than my TP. I saw that price bid/ask went 5 pips throughout my TP and nothing happened, but SL needs just to be touched and it's instantly executed.

What's up with that?

More friday close spikes with Alpari

my CHFJPY trade was triggered due to a massive spike on friday close, come Sunday open trade is still active and in profit. few hours later feed has changed, spike removed and my trade has disappeared completely, even the pending order.

NICE JOB ALPARI. keep ignoring the fact you get spikes on Friday closes that are not present on any other broker. Wont be dealing with this broker again. poor spreads and failure to admit to problems with their price feeds.

i would not recommend them to anyone.

Chart differences (USDCAD one minute chart. Alpari MT5 vs FxPro MT4)
Can someone explain how this can be possible? Look at the the 15:30 on the pics. Btw FxPro's outcome is compatible with other sources while Alpari's is different. It's not the first time I see this kind of thing on Alpari.

it very much looks like a higher impact news release, the time is about right, 15.30pm.
I bet the simple explanation that the first broker server froze...for one reason or another...hope that one wasn't yours.
and it looks like the freezing only was about 30ec before the news to 30sec after. bet the broker was afraid couldn't hedge the positions quick enough, so, chose the simple bucket shop solution.
there is always, always another trade!!

Hi Alex..., just a little question.

Open an account Forex trading in Renminbi (Yuan) in the near future to Alpari will be possible... or not at the moment, for various reasons?

With Alpari UK everything was looking good until I submitted request for partial withdrawal on October 7th.
It is done via SWIFT transfer, so I expected to see money in my account within 3 days.
Not so fast. Money is gone and there is little help from Alpari.
I am still waiting for my money.
Anyone familiar with UK law - what can I do to find my money?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi MZen,

Thank you for your post.

The time taken for your funds to appear in your bank account depends on the country the money is sent to. Standard bank wire transfers within the UK and EU take up to three working days. Bank wires to other countries can take up to five working days.

There are 13 days from October 7 to today or 8 business days. And I transferred money to Canada, which is kind of part of Crown and developed country.

I called my branch and they said it is a sending bank who should initiate trace, not the receiving bank. What now? Where is my money?
As I said, there is little help from Alpari, when it comes to withdrawal of money.
