Another confirmation here of daily report received with all figures correct. I guess these are just automatic emails, but at last it shows our client accounts haven't been trashed.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

I got my daily confirmation too yesterday. The money seem to be there alright, now its just a matter of getting it out and place it with a MORE reliable broker.
My signature is: "Classified".

I wrote to the FCA yesterday asking for clarification as to exactly what is going on because we are not being told everything. I should get a reply within 2 working days.
Excel Markets allowed their clients to withdraw funds after announcing they would be ceasing to trade which should not be a problem as the funds were kept in a segregated account.
I asked the FCA why my same day withdrawal was not processed by Alpari UK if they were keeping my funds in a segregated account. Alpari has acted very badly in this respect as they should still be allowing clients with a positive balance to withdraw their funds as they should still be there kept safe in segregated accounts.
Ill wait until 3pm on the 19th January for the funds to be credited in my personal bank account and if they are not there by this time I will put in a claim to the FSCS regardless of what they or Alpari UK are saying.
On the FSCS website it clearly states that you can claim if it appears that a company is unable or unlikely to pay.
Going on the facts of how this is all unfolding I am starting to believe that the last statement is true.
A same-day payment should be exactly what it says (a same-day payment) and as Alpari UK keep client funds in a segregated account (allegedly) there should of been no problem processing this payment.

Bit shocking to be honest.

I was thinking about opening an account with Alpari a while back but now I'm glad I didn't. I hope you're able to recover your funds in full. Good luck.

I am not sure what it means, but this is the agreement that i have signed back in 2009. It says "non-segregated". Does it actually mean that I waived my own right to ever claim back my money? {image}

Hi justme
Every broker here in Europe must comply with its country regulators.
Most of EU countries have something like "government guarantee" that a portion of their deposit is secured by government in case of broker or bank insolvency.
The standard amount "dubbed as segregated" is usually 50.000EUR, which means if a broker gone busted all your deposit BELOW 50.000EUR will be paid back to you by government. Any money left on your account ABOVE 50.000EUR might be unfortunately lost partially or in full.
I am not sure what the regulator threshold is in UK is, but I reckon it will be 30K-50K.
Check or google >> FSA Regulator <<

The only thing to do now is sit and wait until the administrator of the insolvency is announced by Alapri themselves or FCA and then adress our claims to that person (e.g. with last nights daily account slip).

I don't want to panic here for those who had an account at Alpari but this is what I've found ....

Foreign exchange brokerages which held collateral with companies facing insolvency, (such as Alpari UK) will in turn suffer losses, as these funds are not in segregated accounts and do not benefit from protection by the regulatory agencies. -

I'm glad I'm not in the position where I owe money, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of the debt collectors in future months.
I operate with clear definite rules, if I break them I lose BIG!
