Alpari Declared Best Binary Options Broker at Finance Magnates Awards 2015

The best companies in the Forex industry for the passing year were named at the annual Finance Magnates' London Summit. Almost 500 companies from around the world were competing for prestigious financial awards. The winners of the Finance Magnates Awards 2015 were chosen from eight different nominations. Alpari was named as the Best Binary Options Broker.

In each nomination the winners were determined by an independent survey of the summit’s participants, in addition to the voting cast by an expert commission. Since this year’s Finance Magnates Summit was attended by over 1,500 industry professionals from around the world, one can say objectively that Alpari, having achieved the maximum votes, is fully deserving of this award.

“Another prestigious award on a global level is just one further confirmation of the recognition of the high standard of our products and services. This is the first international award for our binary options service and as such serves as proof of the service’s popularity and shows how in demand it is on international markets,” noted Alpari’s CEO, Boris Shilov.

Binary options are a relatively new service in Alpari’s product range. This service offers the opportunity to work simply with instruments that are suitable for novice traders, allowing users to make profit on changes in the price of the base asset selected, whilst also setting out clearly and in advance the amount that is stood to be lost or gained.

Alpari is currently a laureate prize winner of a multitude of reputable international awards. An assured triumph in the Best Binary Options Broker nomination just confirms once again the unquavering interest that Alpari products garner and affirm the recognition the company has as a world leader in by experts and clients alike.

Best Regards,
Alpari

ALPARI LAUNCHES MT5 PLATFORM​

From today, over one million Alpari clients gained the opportunity to trade using live accounts on the fifth version of one of the world’s most popular trading platforms: MetaTrader (MT5). Upping the standards for trading was made possible by partnership between Alpari and AMTS Solutions; cooperation which bore the development and introduction of the new ecn.mt5 and pamm.ecn.mt5 accounts.

Alpari had formerly provided access to the MetaTrader platform via demo accounts, offering its clients the opportunity to assess the trading terminal. During this time, important aspects were able to be refined as the company received constructive feedback and suggestions from its clients. MetaTrader5 is currently highly rated by professional traders for its more sophisticated algorithms for processing client operations, its speed and its ease of use when making trades.

The principle defining characteristic that sets MetaTrader 5 aside from previous versions is the opportunity to use the platform on various financial markets and in the Electronic Communication Network (ECN). There are even more timeframes and instruments of technical analysis in the MetaTrader 5 platform, in addition to in-built expert advisors, MQL5 source codes and much more to help users trade more successfully. MetaTrader 5 can be downloaded and installed onto PCs for free via Alpari’s website and all of the company’s clients will have access to a mobile version of the platform from the beginning of this spring.

“The launch of the fifth generation of the MetaTrader trading platform was an important and much anticipated event for Alpari clients throughout the world who are looking to stay ahead of the curve in terms of new services for trading. Today these people have an opportunity to take advantage of an even more powerful platform with higher speed indicators and ease of use. Many of Alpari’s 140,000 active clients have already shown interest in this product” noted the company’s CEO Boris Shilov.

As such, Alpari now has two platforms for independent trading in its arsenal: the acclaimed MetaTrader 4 and, from a perspective of its programming system, the fundamentally new MetaTrader 5. Let us not forget that Alpari was assuredly pronounced the world leader in 2014 as the company with the most clients trading using MetaTrader 4. There is good reason to believe that similar success awaits the new platform.

In just under 500 days of the Alpari Cashback loyalty program, hundreds of thousands of traders, investors and managers from around the world have been able to significantly improve their trading and investment conditions with the help of various bonuses. From the program's launch, the company has paid out $2,364,792 to clients.

Participants of the loyalty program can receive money back on their account, lessen their expenditure on spreads and negative swaps, transfer funds without commission, exchange bonus points for cash and much more.

The most popular discounts to date have been: spread compensation; ECN account commission compensation; and negative swap compensation. Since the program was launched, the spread compensation discount, for example, has been activated 31,296 times, allowing our clients to save themselves $654,760. The option to exchange bonus points for cash, introduced just six months ago, has been so popular that in such a short period of time, clients have managed to exchange points for over $146,000.

“The major advantage of the Alpari Cashback loyalty program is its absence of any rigid trading and time constraints as part of its terms of use. Clients are able to select how long they want to use one or another part of the service at favourable terms. During the time the program has been running, clients have been provided with over 93,000 different discounts and almost 15,000 requests for points to be exchanged for cash have been fulfilled.

As such, Alpari clients throughout the world can now use this economic tool to trade successfully with maximum comfort in their mother tongue.

Alpari Activates Locking Option in MetaTrade 5 Platform​

From today on live ecn.mt5 accounts in the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, Alpari clients have access to trading with the option of locking. This is the opportunity tens of thousands of traders have been waiting for since the MT5 platform was launched.

For already over a decade, hundreds of thousands of traders, investors and managers the world over have given preference to the MetaTrader platform from leading international developer, MetaQuotes Software Corp. The MT4 platform has long received deserved plaudits and popularity amongst Alpari clients, and today the company is aiming to perfect and make your work even more user-friendly with this new generation terminal.

The MT5 platform differs from the previous version in its more progressive algorithms for processing client operations, its speed and ease of use when conducting trades. However, taking into account trader needs to simultaneously open a trade in opposite directions and manage them separately, Alpari has updated MT5 and added this new opportunity of locking.

“The MT5 trading platform is the most modern of instruments for traders, combining far reaching opportunities of manual and algorithmic trading, analysis, social trading and support for various mobile platforms. However, we never stand still and rest on our laurels, so IT specialists at Alpari have taken trader wishes into account and have realized this important addition to MT5 – the option of locking – in a very short time span. We are still lifting the bar for high quality service, introducing innovative products and financial technology for successful trading,” noted Alpari CEO, Boris Shilov.

Now live ecn.mt5 accounts will open with this option as standard. Clients who have already registered to work in this platform before the release of the update will continue to trade at the previous conditions. Meanwhile, clients who would like to start their work using the previous version – netting MT5 – can submit a corresponding request to do so and will be transferred to it on a case by case basis. In the future Alpari plans to make the switch between the netting and locking versions of MT5 automatic with the help of settings in myAlpari.

Alpari tested the locking option on ecn.mt5 demo accounts at the end of April and received a large amount of positive feedback from clients and market experts. As such, the update met expectations and trader interest from around the globe in the MT5 platform has significantly increased, reflected by the number of new accounts. Alpari clients are now the first in the world market of internet trading to be able to try out the locking version of MT5 on live accounts.

The National Bank of Belarus Includes Alpari in its List of Registered Forex Companies​

On 23rd June the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus included Alpari Eurasia Ltd. In its list of registered Forex companies. As such, clients of this company – a part of the international financial Alpari brand – will be able to receive services which provide access to international financial markets within Belorussian jurisdiction.

On 7th March, 2016, Belorussian presidential decree № 231 from 4th June, 2015 regarding activities in the over the counter Forex market came into force. This decree brought in rules to the work of the currency market of Belarus which was previously unregulated. As part of its preparations to conduct activities as a Forex broker within the new legal framework in Belarus, the international Alpari brand registered the company Alpari Eurasia on 19th April, 2016.

To enter into the list of registered Forex companies whose activities are permitted on Belorussian territory, Alpari Eurasia underwent a comprehensive check and fulfilled a range of the national bank’s organisational and normative requirements, including the forming of statutory capital of no less than 2 billion Belorussian roubles or 100,000 USD. In order to guarantee the fulfilment of its obligations before its clients, the company will make a 55,000 USD deposit in the very near future to the guarantee fund that was created on the basis of the presidential decree.

“Alpari has always spoken out for market regulation in the countries where it conducts its operations and so we were one of the initiators and active participants in creating the corresponding Belorussian regulation. The coming into effect of the decree and for us to receive the licensing is, of course, very positive news and a real landmark moment for the development of the financial industry within the country. It’s important to note that the Belorussian jurisdiction is focussed on creating favourable conditions for the development of the Forex market, providing for an influx of clients and, at the same time, providing their rights with a high level protection,” noted Alpari Eurasia director, Alexander Sabodin.

Being able to operate as a Forex company within the Belorussian jurisdiction brings many advantages. First and foremost, it provides the right to work with both physical persons and legal entities, in addition to with residents and non-residents of the country. It’s also notable that clients of Belorussian Forex companies (physical persons) are absolved from income tax until 1st January, 2019, making work within the Belorussian jurisdiction even more attractive for traders and investors from other countries of the world. More rigorous control on part of the regulator and the guarantee fund will minimalize risks in regards to malevolent fulfilment of obligations and total loss of invested funds.

Alpari, founded in 1998, is one of the world’s leading brands which provides services for working on financial markets. Alpari currently has over 80 offices open around the world and the companies of the brand service clients from 150 countries. In July 2010 the offices for the official Alpari partner in Minsk opened. From the very beginning, one of the company’s key tasks was to bring the Belorussian segment of the over the counter Forex market closer to international high standards of openness and transparency.

The business reputation of Alpari has stood the test of time and is confirmed by the trust placed in it by its clients. Today the company has over 1.1 million client accounts opened with it. In 2015 the company’s average monthly trading turnover was $90 billion.

Over the 6 years Alpari has been working in the Republic of Belarus, Alpari has put a large amount of effort into raising financial knowledge and awareness amongst its clients, with the number of listeners to its lectures and online seminars exceeding 10,000 people. Alpari actively supports educational initiatives and works with a number of leading media outlets and higher education institutes of the country, including the Belarus State Economic University, the Polessky State University, the Minsk Financial-Economic College, the Institute of Entrepreneurial Activity, the Vitebsk State Technological University and the Grodno State University.

A special note worthy of mention is Alpari’s support for the development of initiatives and programs in Belarus. For example, Alpari took part in the purchase and repatriation of the unique 16th century Statute of Lithuania to its historical homeland. The Statute currently resides in the Mahiliou History Museum.

Alpari’s PAMM Account service is 8!​

In the autumn of 2008, Alpari launched a unique investment service - the PAMM Account - which set a new industry standard throughout the world. For the first time, the incredible potential of the Forex market became really available for those who don’t trade professionally. Alpari clients from around the world began to invest funds in the trading of experienced traders and receive profit without having to complete any trades themselves.

The PAMM Account deserved all of the attention it received from company clients and industry experts due to the simple and user-friendly principles of its workings: an experienced trader-manager of a PAMM Account conducts trading operations with their own money and investors may invest funds in the manager’s trades, following which trades are completed using joint capital. The outcome is shared proportionally to the amount of each participant, and the PAMM Account manager receives a set amount of commission up front.

Over the course of eight years, the PAMM Account service has been actively developing and growing ever closer to perfection. Today there are over 500,000 investor accounts, with the service having an annual turnover surpassing $150 billion in 2015. The accounts of the most popular managers accumulate several million dollars. An important step in the service’s development was the creation of PAMM Portfolios which significantly expanded the opportunities available for investors with regards to risk optimisation. PAMM Portfolios group PAMM Accounts together to make a combination with various investment characteristics.

Alpari paid special attention to assessing the quality of managers’ trading strategies. The ratings developed for PAMM Accounts and Portfolios help investors find the optimal point between returns and risk. The calculation method is constantly being perfected. The most important aspect of the rating is currently its assessment of the effectiveness of PAMM Account managers’ work based on continuous monitoring.

Alpari has also paid special attention to the transparency and dependability of the investment services. A compliance check carried out in 2015 and 2016 by leading international audit company Baker Tilly Russaudit affirmed that all of the PAMM Accounts are real, are registered by traders and that the data regarding the existence of accounts, the manager’s capital, investment amount, number of investors, in addition to the calculation method and returns indication, are all a fully accurate reflection of fact.

The international brand Alpari is the owner of the exclusive rights to the trademark “PAMM Account”. Despite this, the company has never objected to its usage by other market participants and today one can see the PAMM Account represented in the product lines of many large brokers throughout the globe. However, Alpari does monitor and is ever-ready to speak out so that the service is not used by dishonest companies which break ethical and legal norms, thereby damaging the reputation of the Forex industry as a whole.
