Among traders, it is difficult to find someone who has not heard of the Alpari broker. This is not surprising at all, considering its presence in the market for over 20 years and universal recognition from both industry experts and numerous clients. 

During its existence, Alpari has been repeatedly awarded the title of the largest forex broker, in particular due to its high-quality trading platform, high level of customer service and reliability.

Today Alpari offers users to independently trade in foreign exchange, commodity, stock and other markets through classic instruments, and also provides an opportunity to invest in PAMM accounts managed by professional traders.

Alpari is one of the oldest brokerage companies in the CIS. Founded in 1998 in Kazan. In the first years of her work, she entered the TOP-10 rating of the largest forex brokers in the world, subsequently often occupying leading positions in it.

Alpari calls its mission to provide access to global financial markets for all categories of the population and increase its financial literacy. Now the Alpari broker works with more than 1 million users from 150 countries of the world (except for the CIS, it is especially popular in the USA, Great Britain, UAE, Germany, India).

In December 2018, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation revoked the license of Alpari Forex LLC, which was the broker's official representative in Russia. But Russians can still use its services through the international site alpari.com.

The head office of Alpari Limited is registered on the territory of the island state of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The broker is regulated by several world-class financial institutions at once. First of all, these are the Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as the International Financial Services Commission (IFSC) of Belize.

How to trade on Alpari:

  1. Choose a trading terminal and open an account for it.
  2. Enter the terminal.
  3. Select an asset for the transaction.
  4. Issue and confirm orders.

Now let's take a look at the trading process in detail. First of all, you should pay attention to the fact that three main platforms are used for trading through Alpari:

MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is the most popular terminal in Forex trading with a wide range of assets, instruments, indicators, and the ability to automatically trade.
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a MT4-based trading platform with an improved interface, a large number of timeframes, an expanded list of analytical tools and indicators, a script library and a backtesting function.
Fix-Contracts Trader is a terminal for transactions with binary options with income up to 100% of the initial rate and the duration of the contract from several minutes to a day.

The first two options are available for installation on PC (Windows), Android and iOS, as well as in the web version. Fix-Contracts exists only as an online terminal and a mobile application.

☝️
To start trading in any of the listed terminals, you need to create a trading account of the required type and transfer money to it from the main balance.

To create an account, you can use the corresponding functions of the sidebar or the buttons in the drop-down menu in the footer of the Alpari website.

  2. Account type - real or demo;
  3. One of the available options for the account type - standard.mt4, nano.mt4, etc. (if you select on the right, trading conditions for each of them will be displayed);

Of course, beginners are advised to first try their hand at trading on an Alpari demo account and only then move on to transactions with real funds.

After creating an account, the information required to access it through the terminal (login, password, server, etc.) will be displayed. Now, to go directly to trading, you need to decide on the variation of the trading platform: web, mobile or computer application.

Trading On Alpari MetaTrader

Let's consider forex trading using the example of the MetaTrader 5 terminal for PC. Downloading the installation file is initiated through the appropriate sections on the side or bottom horizontal panel.

The program is installed in one click and is ready for use in 1-2 minutes. After launching it, you need to enter the username / password received after creating a trading account and select a server.

For those who are familiar with trading cryptocurrencies through exchange interfaces, the contents of the loaded window of the Alpari MT5 terminal will seem quite familiar, perhaps slightly outdated. The main space here is occupied by the following zones:

  • List of assets available for trading;
  • Charts;
  • Depth of orders;
  • Navigation menu for adding indicators and scripts to the chart;
  • Toolbar with tabs for active orders, transaction history, calendar of important events, etc.

All these elements, if desired, move freely to different parts of the terminal window. If after the first launch of the terminal some of them are missing, enable the ones you need through the "View" menu.

Charts can be closed and new ones can be “pulled out” through the context menu called by right-clicking on any asset in the list. At the same time, the number of windows with charts is not limited, and indicators are added to them.

To buy or sell an asset, use the corresponding functionality under the order book (Buy / Sell buttons) or the F9 key on the keyboard, which calls a separate window for placing an order.

When a trade is opened, its type (by market, exchange execution, etc.) and volume (number of lots), as well as stop loss and take profit values (in points from the purchase price) are indicated.

☝️
Helpful! The last two parameters help to secure the order from excessive loss and set the level upon reaching which the profit is fixed.

If you leave these fields blank, you will have to manually manage the closing of the deal.

All open orders are displayed on the "Assets" tab of the lower panel. Below their list are the final data on balance, margin, liabilities and the total amount that will be received after all transactions are closed.

Having familiarized yourself with the interface and basic functions of the MT5 terminal, you can start trading using your own strategies or following the advice from Alpari's training and analytics sections.

Binary Options Trades in Alpari Fix-Contracts

Trading with this platform is as easy as trading with any other binary options broker. You can call the Fix-Contracts web terminal window through the lower personal account on the Alpari website by choosing real or demo trading.

In the window that opens after this, you need to select an asset from the available options in the list on the left, set the execution time (above the chart) and the contract amount (on the right). Then it remains only to press "BUY" or "SELL" to select the estimated direction of movement of the asset rate.

At this point, the trader's participation in the fate of the deal opened in Alpari Fix-Contracts ends and after its expiration one of two events will occur - the accrual of remuneration (if the trader made the correct prediction) or the liquidation of the invested funds.

In addition to binary contracts with a choice of the direction of the rate, Alpari offers options "one touch", "range", "spread", "express" and "turbo".

Alpari's functionality for investing in PAMM accounts is no less popular than trading. At the same time, you do not need to understand trading on your own, since the user's funds are managed by experienced traders.

The profitability obtained from such investments can vary from a few units to hundreds and even thousands of percent. However, getting a loss is also possible.

☝️

Reviews About Alpari

Reviews about Alpari
Reviews about Alpari

Due to its popularity and long term of work, Alpari is also the leader in terms of the number of customer reviews. There are many negative ones among them, but positive ones still prevail.

Usually Alpari is praised for quick registration and verification of users, responsive technical support, a wide range of methods for depositing and withdrawing funds, having analytical and training sections, and the smooth operation of trading terminals.

Good trading conditions, no problems with withdrawal and a large selection of PAMM accounts are also often mentioned. Some consider the interface of the personal account on the Alpari website "a little confusing", while others note its originality and convenience. Sometimes there are reviews with a negative connotation, in which it is more likely about the client's inattention, but in fact they still hint at an insufficiently thought-out system of informing clients about Alpari's rules.

!For example, many clients find out about the need to upload additional documents to withdraw funds to the card only when their requests "hang" for a long time.

There are a lot of comments in the network in the style of "Alpari — scammers", but judging by their uniformity (draining of personal data of clients and problems with withdrawal), we can conclude that they were paid for by competitors. 

Also, there are often reviews in which Alpari is criticized for the difference in the results of trading on a demo account and a real one. Allegedly, in the first variant, most of the trades are profitable, and in the second, they are unprofitable, including due to different quotes. However, in such cases, we are usually talking about an insufficient level of trader's skills, as well as about the peculiarities of forming quotes for demo accounts.

In general, the level of Alpari's reputation speaks for itself — if the above problems really existed, this broker would not be so popular among traders.
