Thank you for the information. I've never tried Alpari, but may be interested.Originally Posted by ;
They are among the better MT4 market makers.
I've a live account with them and they're quite excellent. Not as good as Oanda, but anyway...

In 8 years I believe I used everybody LOL
Alpari UK started life as a spin off from the Russian Alpari they're the same team running it loed in London for the UK version they're fully FSA regulated. Money in done by cable or UK online banking is basically next day. Out necessitates a fax.
They now have 5 live servers for reduny thats more then almost anyone else I know on retail so link is strong. I had no downtime in the 5 months I been with them. Trades fill always within 4 minutes mostly 2 and 3 minutes according to my EA logs. Slips and requotes are extremely infrequent even major news I can scalp 30 seconds prior to and after NFP hardly anyone else will allow that.
Although they say spreads can vary I never see it move always 2 pips euro solid. For FSA safety and stabilty I give then 9/10.
I also give North Finance a different live MT4 broker I use 8/10 technically the same but cash security is a little dodgy in Cyprus. Again requotes are infrequent, 2 pip euro 99% of the time I did notice it alter once. Requotes about 1 in 15 trades. NF will trade to mini lots they are not that keen on scalping though. Account by cable or EGOLD they clear gold obligations in and OUT in hours.
Alpari UK today allow micro lots that 0.01 perfect for live testing of EA's without risking too much cash. According to their forum they're scalper friendly!!
I wouldn't take the pi$$ and proceed for 1 pip though but I do 5 to 20 pips and no one complains.
Compared to the US mob these two MT4 brokers would be the best I understand. If you don't believe me best of luck dealing with anybody loed in New Jersey.
If you're in the UK and don't call for a bot to trade then trade spreadbet instead as its tax FREE. Igindex and the big brother Igmarket will allow you to trade anything from home prices, oil gold into wheat and hogs. They're the biggest in the UK today im told with excellent liquidity financing to London Banks. From 2 pip euro place you will never observe a slip and trade to 0.1 pip increment and you will get filled at state 1.45674 euro. Because its basically futures there is not any such thing as a bad fill on major news well not that I ever watch it earlier in the 2 years I had an account with them but be aware future place closes all positions every evening and reopens. This is a shock in case you don't understand its going to take place.
IGindex will let you trade binary bets down ladders and conventional selections monthly and weekly. Trading options opens a whole new low risk systems afterward trading place and enables one to use options as they're supposed to be used in protecting underlying risk even in a different account. Ie short euro 14 days futures with extended euro call choices.
For our US friends though I don't think you can open a spreadbet account because its betting and therefore prohibited for US and Alpari UK may not allow US accounts you have to assess yourself.
Their customer service chat box is at Russian
my alerts on MT4 w alpari russia feed are working revealing right time, however, the MT4 charts are suspended showing the amounts 10:15 russia time ...
that would be 4:15 am EST but it's currently 1:29 pm EST
I did get told to check back during russia time 9:30 to 18:30 that is apparently 2:30 am EST 11:30 am EST
but my charts are all suspended, and have been since this morning
I believe that you will come to realize that the markets are closed.Originally Posted by ;
Was that one of the MT4 alert boxes kept popping up and sounding its small ding and showing a price for I feel a EUR pair of some type at 2pm EST time
that is what threw me ... and the forexforum.co.za calendar was revealing a 5am EST thing but my chart stopped at 3:15 am EST
I understood that the markets could be closed for Good Friday, but those other things were occurring, so I must say I was sort of puzzled
