Alpari's pricing policy

What a pointless load of tripe.



The price now jumps up blocks of 10. There is zero benefit to users. Harder to measure pips, harder to set stop losses and order prices quickly. 10 times slower in fact. Time to find another broker.

Is this alpari US or UK?

I think this is for the holiday period only.
Back to normal end of next week/following week I expect.

Normally 2 pips spread EUR/USD 3 pips GBP/USD and not too much jumping about.

FSA regulated.. fills look ok to me (at par or better with Alpari).

Customer support is a gruffy male voice which on picking the phone just says "aactiff"

...unlike the nice female at Alpari

No, it's because they have added a decimal place.
