USDCHF loss on Alpari forex (RU?)
Jan 17, 2015 at 17:50
I had my opened when it was Alpari NZ now I don't know whether it is RU now or not..
Anyways due to the SNB shock some USDCHF and won but the last one loss all the money plus a negative balance.
It seems even there is a SL, it was not executed at SL price can cause dme to loss even more money and happened in the same second the trade was placed!
Just got an e-mail (probably automatic) asking me to deposit 8k deficit I had..
I had asked their support to review the trade, support ask me to file a claim.
Let's hope they can take care of it like the other brokers do as they never made any statement like other brokers do. And lately Alpari forex had nullified my other trade saying their quote software had frozen caused price not updating... :(

If they are like most brokers, then they should have to cover any losses that your account can't cover. I don't know what their agreement is with clients but that is how it is with Forex.com which is what I use. I definitely would not deposit any money. I would look into a different broker if I were you if you wish to start trading again.

They said I need to pay them as in the agreement. But I would definitely try to argue about that margin call should have happened before I go nelow zero

Don't pay anything and they will soon be dissolved. Just ignore these thieves and they will vanish very fast, but I saw the trade that was turned into a huge negative. The issue is it's their fault for not stopping it lol and this happens once in a lifetime.

In your place I wouldnt pay a dime.
However I do not know your agreement.
Regardless, there is no way in hell you should send them another 8k.
Let them dissolve.

Adding to the Alpari drama, FXCM says it wants to buy the company.

I'm sorry for your loss. What happened in the market for CHF pairs it's call slippage and if clients don't read the fine print within their agreements the risk losing their entire account based off a glitch in the system. It really sucks that brokers aren't willing to reimburse clients for there loss.😞
Check out my blog to read about an encounter I had with my broker in regard to this unfortunate event.

Just be careful with whom you choose to be your broker. A lot of companies will go bust, but others will emerge as the most reliable and profitable ones.

So true. Critical if you want to be around for the long-haul...know your broker! Don't worry about bonus offers, spreads, and all the promo stuff, focus instead on account terms and conditions, segregation of client funds, if the broker banks with a reputable bank in the same country that the broker is registered, licensing, regulation, legal system and legal jurisdiction.
Of the above, my first priority is client funds segregation to ensure that should my broker become insolvent, my funds are protected. Second priority is to ensure the local legal system and regulators require segregation and enforce these measures. If your money is not safe, the rest is pointless! 😎

I have an account with Alpari UK. I was't in the CHF trade. Is it possible I will get my money back.
I am also preparing to move on with my trading journey. Where do I go to find information about these brokers and could anybody recommend some. I am in the UK
1. Client funds segregation
