Dear Client,

Due to overwhelming client demand we will be making changes to the MetaTrader clock settings that will give you an extra hour to trade each week.

What is happening?

The MetaTrader clock on your platform will be switching from Central European Time (CET, GMT+2) to Eastern European Time (EET, GMT+3). The change will take effect at 0:00 EET Monday, 2 April 2012 (21:00 GMT, 22:00 BST Sunday).

What does this mean for you?

This small change will bring Alpari (UK) trading times into line with more markets for more clients. The greatest effect of this change will be at the weekly opening of the markets. You'll now have an extra hour to place stops and limits or to adjust a position in response to any major market movements in the first hour of trading.

If you use an Expert Advisor (EA) which requires the GMT offset to be manually input, please ensure that this is adjusted to GMT+3 to reflect this change before the markets open.

We suggest on the first week this takes effect you pay special attention to your closing positions on Friday, 30 March and opening positions Sunday, 1 April 2012.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact your Client Services Team on +44 (0)20 7426 2900 or support@alpari.co.uk.

Kind regards,

Alex

Alpari (UK) launches the live MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform with market depth and one-click trading. Traders can choose from 34 currency pairs plus spot gold and silver. MT5 is a completely new trading software designed by MetaQuotes Corp. and not an upgrade of the MetaTrader 4 platform.

The key benefits of MT5 trading with Alpari (UK) include:

* Non-dealing desk (NDD) execution with access to multiple liquidity providers (bank liquidity)
* Direct market access (DMA) and market depth to analyse market liquidity
* One-click trading and no re-quotes for speed of execution
* Spreads from 0 pips and up to 1:500 leverage
* New order types and advanced order expiration types including “fill or kill”

Alpari (UK) offers MT5 on the new ECN account that requires a minimum deposit of just USD200. For trades opened and closed by 1 July 2012, Alpari (UK) will charge no commission. From 2 July 2012 commission charges will apply.

With MT5 traders can apply their Expert Advisor (EA) strategies in a highly efficient way. EAs are mechanical systems that allow traders to fully automate their trading processes and analytical activities to execute trades more efficiently.

The new MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester enables traders to test and optimise EA strategies in minutes rather than hours. In order to optimise EAs, traders use historical data to find out how well a particular EA strategy would have performed in the past. This is the so-called backtesting. Many tests and strategy modifications are necessary before an EA is ready to be applied to a Live account. The Strategy Tester gives traders access to a remote computer cluster and the calculation capacity of thousands of computers all over the world to accelerate the optimisation process.

MT5 Market gives traders access to apps for the MT5 Terminal, for example technical indicators, EAs, control panels and analysis systems.

Find out more about the new ECN account, take a look at the FAQs and download MT5 to get all these benefits.
