Slippage with Alpari

Unread post by msk185 »

Hi
I was just wondering if anyone else is using Alpari, I have a Micro account with them and over the past few weeks I have experienced slippage on virtually every order that has been filled. Today the slippage was 8 pips! I dont trade news so that isnt a factor, todays order was timed at 17.31 Alpari time.

Thanks for reading

HI Mike

Hi Grant

Thanks for the response. I'm good thanks, just trying to get back into trading having taken a break to deal with some family stuff and Alpari seem to be in slippage mode but as you say could just be thin markets.

Hope alls well with you

AGREED: slippage on Alpari and Pepperstone, GKFX you heard Grant. Actually some times, it could be an indication that you're in very thin markets... but sometimes you get slippage in very fast moving markets too. Alpari Pro gives you no requotes but slippage occurs from time to time
cheers
