I don't know if their live account is really any different from their demo account but....
17 pip spreads on EUR/USD. Up to 50-60 pip spreads on CHF.
Chart freezing on numerous occasions and even in high volatility.
Frequent requotes when you want to take a profit but never on a loss.
Parent company is in Russia.
They are a Market Maker in the USA branch
I won't be opening a live account with them. I'll use an ECN. I just have trouble with their spreads and delays. I don't feel that I can trust them.

They take you to the cleaners every time they can. They impose regular requotes (especially when trying to close profitable trades) and seem to take it personally when you decline their so called "requotes" and try to open/close again. (funny... these problems didn't exist while I was losing my shirt trying to learn the system) I've just initiated the process to close my account with these jokers.

This is my first real account in Forex with Alpari. They were very polite when I opened an account (i guess it is so everywhere for new customers). I'm currently 50/50 floating with my account, no loss and no profit either.
Tried one of the commercial scalping EAs for few days, it failed BIG TIME!!! While I later looked at the history - the spreads killed it.
Alpari spreads are high, order placement, requotes etc is average. I'm not giving any more stars, as I'm neutral at this point.

The only time you get a error in your commands,closing orders etc is when you are in profit. I've treid to close numerous winning trades big in my favor, they wont let you close it until you get back near break even,. Total thieves. Should be in jail.
