Usually this kind of free money is in fact a discount on commision. You only get to take it out after a certain number trading lots x a certain multiple of the bonus. Check out the terms and conditions.

especially the last sentence is interesting to alpari.ru. I have no idea who the Russians will entice. Anyway, not Europeans.
"Please Note: This promotion is valid exclusively for Alpari UK clients except for persons from the European Union and countries of the European Economic Area under MiFID."
It is also possible that alpari.ru sometime fall under the EU sanctions. Then you can not get the money for this reason, hahaha.

{quote} Walk into most banks with 100 mill and they will fall over themselves to pay you interest...
definitely no, because the pool is in big banks. Big banks in Europe can get to 0.05% interest money from the ECB. And therefore give big banks, no further interest. Why should a bank to pay for something they get for free? Add to that that big banks to park money overnight with the central banks. And how much interest get the big banks? Negative interest. Banks have to pay now when they have excess liquidity. This is quite simple logic, right? The idea with lots of money and interest is great. Only the financial world has changed. Have you not noticed?You can read the financial news all the things. Interest rates Overnight ECB ... negative. EU interest rates, 0 for large banks, regardless of the amount. Swiss banks, negative interest on deposits at all banks. call me a logical reason to pay a bank interest today. There is none.

Hi all, I'm a journalist with a national newspaper and am looking to chat to people who know what happened with Alpari. Would anyone like to talk about their experience?
Well i think we know as much as you do: On thursday everybodies open trades where closed if we had any, and our funds are freezed up. What KPMG is saying you can find out on their site, the rest is mostly bullshit or rumours. Of course you can report on bullshit and rumours, but it should be under no other guise.

The segregated account issue is becoming a joke in my opinion. Traders chose to trade where strict regulations are maintained like in the UK with the FCA. I am one of those who based my decision to trade with Alpari on that. Segregate in my books mean that NOT EVEN an administrator can lay his hands on the money. The regulator should be in charge of the money AT ALL TIMES because they are the regulator isn't it? The UK law has now put the administrator in charge of regulated money. There is now effectively two bodies overlooking the procedures with...
I sort of agree, and this is annyoing me too. However, what to do about it now, in practice? I dont have any good, clean answer to that. Go get a lawyer? Go get a baseball bat? Go get magical ravens to peck former Alpari peoples eyes out? I mean, i dont know what i can do here and if i had a good idea i would tell yah.

BULLSHIT UPDATE!
ALL TRADES AFTER 15 Jan, 9:30 a.m may not accurately
represent a Client’s or Creditor’s balance.
Alpari UK administrator reports inconsistencies found in trades after SNB announcement
By LeapRate Staff on Sunday, 01.25.15
http://leaprate.com/wp-content/uploa...on-200x146.png
Alpari UK’s Special Administrator, KPMG, has issued an update to (former) clients and creditors of the company.
Interestingly, KPMG points out that in its initial review of trades at Alpari UK on the fateful day of Thursday January 15 (after the SNB’s surprise move removing the EURCHF 1.20 floor) it has found some ‘inconsistencies’ in how certain trades were processed at Alpari UK.
As a result, KPMG points out that a client’s account balance from any time after the SNB announcement that Thursday morning might not be accurate.
This ‘inconsistencies’ issue is not expected to impact Alpari UK clients who only held cash balances in their account (and entered no subsequent trades) as at 9:30am GMT that Thursday. KPMG expects to be able to agree on such cash-only account balances more quickly than those affected by the inconsistencies issue.
The full KPMG statement follows:
————
Alpari (UK) Limited (in special administration) (“the Company”)
Update to Clients and Creditors– 23 January 2015
This update is in addition to information previously provided.
As previously stated, on administration, there is a pooling event under the FCA’s Client Asset rules,
which means that retail clients (“Clients”) are entitled to share on a pro-rata basis in the client money
pool. Professional clients and other creditors (“Creditors”) do not have a claim against the client
money pool but will have a claim against the other assets of the company.
The Joint Special Administrators are working closely with the Company staff to confirm all Client and
Creditor positions so that statements can be issued as soon as possible.
The pricing of trades
Following an initial review performed by the Joint Special Administrators, it appears that there have
been certain inconsistencies in the pricing of trades closed out in the period before the Joint Special
Administrators were appointed, owing to the volatility in the market after the SNB announcement at
9:30am GMT, Thursday, 15 January 2015. As a result, any account statements or information provided
by other means received by Clients and Creditors after the SNB announcement may not accurately
represent a Client’s or Creditor’s balance.
The Joint Special Administrators continue to investigate and analyse the impact of this issue as a
matter of priority and will provide a further update on their website as information becomes available.
This issue is not expected to impact clients who only held cash balances in their account at 9:30am
GMT, Thursday, 15 January 2015 and entered no subsequent trades. For this reason we expect to be
able to agree such balances more quickly than those affected by this issue.
Claims process
We will provide statements as soon as possible to clients: where there are unresolved issues this will
delay the receipt of the relevant statements.
Other creditors who are not professional clients will receive formal correspondence shortly setting
out the process for making a claim.

does not make you crazy. stay calm. Because the update can also mean that customers were overreached. 50:50 chance. That something was not ok, I had noticed already in my daily settlement on 15 January and 16 January. Previous ledger balance was incorrectly output. The final total was but correct. But where should I complain about that? It was nobody longer available at Alpari.

The USDCHF chart in my MT4 running on Alpari VPS server stated for several hours that the pair had dipped below 0,5. As far as I can tell that never really happened, so I guess there are lots of CHF pairs that has to be corrected. I was only trading EURUSD, one could possibly argue that USDCHF<0,5 had an effect on EURUSD, will be "interesting" to see if they do.

what can I say? I had doubled on 15 and 16 my capital. yet I am relaxed. because it is also possible that Alpari has charged to my detriment. then I end up even more money. The chance is 50:50. I have to Friday only traded EUR / USD.

on mt5 with alpari USDCHF reached 0.7400 and i had my trade taken sell position at 1.0200 and closed on 0.8760 wich is the normal price now.. it shouldnt be erased, right?
and after closing it in 30 minutes i booked my profits from USDCHF with 9750$
and at the same night made it through $ 13702 just trading XAU, JPY and NZD.
i just dont know how they will lie just not to pay me my funds.

Same here, I wanted to hold me short too, but it got closed out. So any poor market execution is the brokers fault.

my trades wasnt closed by alpari.. i closed it all my self before they shut down everything. and my USDCHF trade was closed on a reasonable price and it appears on all websites that CHF really made it to that price and its not some sort of mis-quote or platform failure.. as knut7 ^^^^ saw it on his mt4 reaches below 0.5

I was holding more than 50 EU50 lots from December and they got closed out at 3148, a few days later we were over 3400. I doubt that anyone will pay me my missed 250 points, which is more than 100K. I would still be holding today as I think that the EU50 will go higher.

Hi Guyz,

My account is also frozen with Alpari(UK), I think they will try to retrieve all the negative balances from people who have assets and can't really
get away from the fact that their stop loss was jumped.

The people this happened to, would have taken a hugh hit, I had a CHF trade running on a demo account with Alpari(UK) and the account went from
28K to 89K within minutes so the damage to the poor guy's accounts would have been on the same scale.

Here is the account: http://www.myfxbook.com/members/thes...-going/1046537

Best of luck
