Alpari.co.uk does someone trade with?

[coccoby]

I'm in the desperate search for a broker to open a live account. They use MT4 and seem very good with tight spreads, but here I see that no one uses them.
Why? Has someone any real experience with them?

[daydreamer65]

I did come across them on Friday & downloaded their MT4 platform.

I noticed though that they say that the demo takes approx. 3-4 secs to
process an order, but when in a live account it can take anywhere up to 15 secs
because they in fact have a dealing desk, which processes the orders.

Also they did not have a great deal of pairs.

A good point for me though is that they are British, based in London.

I am still thinking about it.

At present though I use Oanda, OK they have their own platform, (which is easy to use) but I use MT4 & their platform for certain tasks, plus they have tight spreads, & no limit to the lot size ie I can use 50 units or 10 000 units, just by plugging that amount into the pop-up box.

Hope this helps & if you do decide to go with Alpari let me know how you get on. :wishes:

Edited to say: Also put "alpari" into the search function at the top of the page

I am in doubt as well who to use. I've got demo accounts with both FXCM and alpari.

I prefer the alpari platform, but didn't know they take up to 15 sec to process a position.
Seems like they all have their bad points. Got a demo with oanda as well but don't like their platform one bit.

I browsed the site of Stifx and it doesn't seem very reliable. There are many pages that are empty and I've not been able to understand what kind of trading station or charting program do they use. Yes they've credit card funding and withdrawing, but also this link don't work on the site.
However I think that I'll remain focused on Alpari, because of I'm demo trading with them and till now I fell comfortable. The site is well done. The customer support (on the forum) seems very helpfull and quick and probably they will offer in a matter of weeks also credit card capabilities.
Also the reviews on forexbastards.com are very positive.
And so I renew the request I'll be glad to know if someone has a live account with them and his impressions.

Yes i agree with STIFX site is not that good. But i arise a question here, do you go to a broker by looking at there site, or you go to them if they offer good services and good execution?
A Company can cheat you by giving you a good site, and in end bad execution..
Its better to test out yourself.. However i am satisfied client of STIFX, with there good customer support.
Best of luck though.. cheerz.

I understand and I accounted this kind of things, I'm a trader (or at least) involved in this kind of matters by many years. I traded stocks, options and futures and so I know how to evaluate the various offers.
Your indication of Stifx has been very valuable for me (and I think also for many others!) but as I said I remained very negatively impressed by the really unusable and not informative website. With so many offers of forex brokers (and so many negative impressions regarding the majority of them), I have not been able to understand how to open a demo account with Stifx and how to simply download the charting and trading software. I think that this is a really negative "visit card". I also read on other forums that Stifx has his employees advertising their services using fantasy identities on forex forums .......................
I trust in you, but till now yours is the only favourable opinion regarding Stifx.
However using their website is for me (probably my fault) not possible to evaluate directly them, because their links don't work.
Mine impressions regarding Alpari.co.uk are instead really positive (I pinpoint that I don't use scalping methods and for now I'm simply demo trading).
I hope that in this thread will be many positive (and by believable traders ............ not Stifx employees) impressions about Stifx and I hope also about Alpari.co.uk, because of my only interest is to have especially a serious and reliable broker (like you all ).
Bye, Corrado.
