Alpari?

[tommac]

Sorry if I`ve missed it in my search--but has anyone been using Alpari recently.
I`m looking for a UK alternative to my SB account and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

I use them, i'm happy with them so far.

 

[shadowninja]

Ditto. No probs at all.

 

[tommac]

Super --thanks. Downloaded their demo--

 

[Mr.J-Arthur]

havent used their platform yet tho

Alpari UK uses metatrader 4. I have been with them for 2 months now live. No complaints except the default TIS server can be slow to open and close trades as it seems to be overloaded. Switching to the MH backup server gives MUCH faster open and close times for trades.

Correct me if I am wrong but Alpari UK do not do spread betting right? In which case all profits are subject to capital gains tax?

 

[tommac]

Thats how I see it re tax. --Also looking at Fxcm.

Same here.

 

[JTrader]

alpari are NOT a spreadbet broker, they are an OTC retail forex broker.
They have good customer service, and seem a decent bunch, similar to worldspreads in that regard.

 

[Magos]

Same here.

same here, they are alright

I use Alpari a lot. Just lately i've been having two bowls a day, i feel great (and i'm not straining big logs out in the loo). There's a lot to be said for muesli.

Is anyone having problems with Alpari?

Over the past week or so, it has been resource-hungry.
I have switched it off, and all is ok. Switch it on, it makes everything esle run poorly.
I have ensured I download it from as reputable a source as possible, but cant help feel its doing stuff in the background it ought not.

Prefer to stick to Alpari.
Actually, I also run WHC MT-4 for my indices. However, the problem cant be because I have two MT-4s running, as I have tried ODL and dont get same probs. (ie, I can run two or more MT-4s simultaneously)

the problem isnt lack of memory before you suggest that. It is specifically Alpari.

does it process ALL .ex4 files perhaps?

Only recent differences is that I have been testing my EAs, but I ensure to swtich them off when not needed, and even clear the directories of executables in case they were being run inadvertantly.

thanks.

 

[wasp]

BBC Iplayer and Alpari dont seem to mix together!

Switched off all extraneous apps.
Multiple MT-4 apps run ok, including Alpari.

But somehow, if BBC Iplayer is running, then it affects the useability of Alpari.
(the mouse and cross-hairs are sluggish on Alpari, but not on WHC MT-4!!)

weird or what!
problem sort of solved. price to pay=no listen-on-demand radio.

 

[Masquerade]

I left Alpari today - I had enough of them.

 

[Magos]

go join CMC and see the difference...

Iplayer has a hidden app called eye2eye which allows your library of programs to be uploaded to other users without your knowledge. If you monitor your traffic you might see vast amounts of upload traffic. You need a network sniffer to trace it.

Very illegal and disgusting for a public sector body.

Hope this helps.

Hopefully the latter. I own a software house. I had problems using iPlayer when trading overseas using a vodafone connect card!!
