Alpari Uk: slow execution and requotes

This my last review with Alpari as I will be closing my account and changing to a real broker soon. Well, after 3 years trading with them, what can I say? They used to be good, now they suck. They probably have too many customers, no worries, I will make my seat available in no time. Servers are slow, I mean sss lll ooo www, and everytime that I scalp into a winning position I get a requote, and then another requote, and (surprise) even more requotes! Alpari is history, only an idiot would submit his or her trades through a dealing desk nowadays. They claim to have a true ECN account but the minimum you can trade is 3 lots. Not for me. Bye bye Alpari.

Fast execution, good customer service, and outstanding withdrawal procedures. First time I withdraw money, they took ONE HOUR to put the money in my (foreign) account. Impressive. Not many requotes as well. 5 stars.

2007-10-29 4 Stars Well, I have only been trading demo account with Alpari. It has been going really good, I can trade the news, EAs work fine, no problems. Good customer service as well. SO I will open an account (live) with them. I compared them with others (InterbankFX, FastBrokers, ODL Securities) and regarding DEMO accounts their execution is far much more superior. Now I only hope that my live (real) experience with them is going to be as good. Cant give 5 stars because I traded demo, so 4 stars.
