Re: ALPARI UK AUTOCHARTIST integrated on MetaTrader 4

Hi,

I looked at this tool in Visual Trader at CMS, where I traded past year.

I think it is crap. Lot of false signals, lot patterns was "recognized" after several days etc.

Its simply...if it is free from broker, its not dangerous for him.....

Is it true? ( alpari uk)

hi ,

i made a trade i have an micro account in alpari uk ... on the chart i see price hit my take profit point but it didnt quit and suddenly price went other direction X-( , so I send an email to alpari and he tell me that ;

"

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email.

I have looked into you trade and it appears that you take profit level was not reached.

You were short on #19954723, so to close this trade you have to Buy. This means you need our offered price, which is not shown on the charts.

The charts only show the Bid, so you have to add the spread to the price to get the Offer price. The floating spread for EUR/USD was 1.6 pips at 15:38 23/02/10.

The lowest the Bid reached was 1.35386 as you saw on your chart, then when you add the spread, the Offer price reaches 1.35402, therefore your take profit of 1.35400 was not reached at this time.

You must consider the spread with your stop losses and take profits.

Should you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

"

I think something wrong about alpari because they already take their spread when I take position ...

what u think?

Right Click on chart..goto properties and click Common then click Show Ask Line.

that's just the way it goes..sometimes hit by .00002 pips sometimes missed by that

Hi, I have Alpari Uk Micro account too.

This thing happened with me too a lot of times. Unfortunately you can't do anything. The spread was too high at this moment and the price "just" almost reach the Tp.

Enforcer

Re: Is it true? ( alpari uk)

Yes, this happens to me also. The charts do not show the spread, so sometimes the chart must go "past" the target price to get the order filled. At other times, they did not fill my order because they needed 2 minutes to fill the order, but the price stayed at the target price for only 1 minute. This seems like plenty of time to me, but sometimes the liquidity is not there because the "liquidity provider" delays filling the order. When I trade manually, I notice this a lot, where an order sometimes takes over 3 minutes to get filled. #:-S

yes sometime slippage is among the important factor that broker should be improving. beside that s the limiting factor that we, as a trader, should be considered in placing our SL and TP.
