Alpari is heavily regulated, has 3 international licenses, and is the largest Meta Trader broker.

By the end of this review, you will have learned about its legitimacy, ease of use, profitability, support, etc.

Read on as I take you through this guide.

Post Overview

I will keep it simple but concise and straight to the point. You will learn about its products and services, regulations, income strategy, and opportunities.

1. Overview of the Company

Alpari, 20+ years since its creation, is one of the leading Forex Trading/Investment platforms.

The Alpari brand was launched in 1998, while Alpari International obtained its FSC license in November 2013.

In 2014, it turned over 2.5 trillion USD in trade, and by 2015, Alpari had branches in 150 countries, offering its services to over two million clients.

Alpari International is regulated by the Financial Service Commission of the Republic of Mauritius with license number C113012295.

2. Is Alpari a scam or legitimate?

This is a question any serious-minded investor should ask. This is the first thing I do whenever I come across a financial platform; I check its track record to find out if it’s legit or just one of the numerous scam sites online.

To answer this question, I will highlight the following points.

1. Alpari was launched on December 14, 1998, making it 20 years in operation as of 2020.
2. It is heavily regulated. It has about 18 regulatory documents.
3. Alpari has 3 international licenses backing its operation. The documents can be found at the bottom of its website.
4. It has sponsored about 7 clubs, including West Ham United FC, FC Spark Moscow, New York Rangers, etc. You can find the rest here.
5. Alpari has a Charity organization where thousands of handicapped children have been helped, and financial assistance has been offered to those in need.
6. Alpari is present in over 150 countries and has offices in some of them, including Abuja, Nigeria.

The points above are clear proof that Alpari is legit.

3. Products and Services

Alpari offered over 5 services in the past but currently offers 4. In the later part of this post,  I will highlight the defunct services and how you can still access them.

The Products and Services currently offered by Alpari International include:

1. Forex and CFD
2. Stock Trading
3. Investment
4. Forex Education

Forex and CFD:

You can trade over 95 currency pairs, precious metals, and indexes. e.g EURUSD, JPYUSD, EURCHF, Brent, AUD200, etc.

Stock Trading:

Alpari makes it easy for institutional investors to own and trade Company stocks like Alphabet, Facebook, Microsoft, Alibaba Group, etc.

Investment (Copy Trader):

This package is designed for newcomers to earn immediately while learning to trade. Investors who do not have time can also quickly profit from this package.

It also allows pro traders to earn more, making it a win-win.

The investment package works this way.

1. A Pro – trader applies to become a Strategy Manager and shares his trades once approved.
2. An investor or a newcomer copies the trader.
3. The investor must not be online to copy each trade. This process is automated. Once the investor starts copying the trader, each trade made by the trader will be mirrored in the investor’s account to the amount he has and the risk level he has set.
   Note: The trader cannot access the investor’s account, and the investor can stop copying the trader at any time.
4. The Strategy Manager is awarded a percentage of his profit for the investor only when he makes a profit (I explained this in the examples below).
   Note that the Strategy Manager sets the percentage of shares awarded to him from the profit he makes for the investor. This is to a maximum of 40%.
5. If the strategy manager makes a loss in the first month and profits in the second month, his profit share will be taken from the net gain of the two months.

To explain this further, let’s take a look at Strategy Manager Amaka and Investor Joe.

Continue below!

Example 1:

• Joe creates an Alpari account, funds it with $1,000, and decides to copy Amaka’s trades (who has set her profit share at 25%) after analyzing her track record.
• Amaka makes a 50% profit from her trades in the first month, translating to $1500 in Joe’s account. Amaka will be awarded $125 (25% of $500) while Joe takes home $1,350.

Example 2:

• Suppose Amaka makes a loss of 20% in the first month and a profit of 50% in the second month. This translates to $800 in Joe’s account the first month and $1,200 ($800 + 50% of $800) the second month.
• Amaka will receive no reward the first month and will be awarded a net profit of ($50 = 25% of $200) from Joe’s account the second month.

I hope my explanation was good enough. I could explain more, but I think we have deviated from a review to a tutorial.

However, at the end of the post, I will show you an investment strategy you can use to amass a consistent profit of 20% to 50% monthly.

But for now, let’s get back to the review. Another product/service available on Alpari is Forex Education.

Forex Education:

Alpari holds webinars (online seminars) 1 or 2 times a month where two experienced traders teach users Forex basics and trading strategies.

The webinars are usually scheduled for an hour with a question-and-answer session included.

A newcomer can amass a wealth of knowledge from this tutorial.

That’s what’s on the Products and Services available on Alpari International. Let’s check on the trading platforms.

4. Alpari Trading Platforms

Once you have created an account on Alpari, the actual trades are carried out on the trading platforms where analysis is carried out and trades are made. These are the;

• Metatrader 4 (MT4) and
• Metatrader 5 (MT5)

They are available as apps for download on PC, Android, iOS, and the Web version.

Meta Trader 4 (MT4)

MT4 is the world’s most populous forex trading platform. It has a lot of easy-to-use and very useful features.

The MT4 has many tools you can select from and customize to meet your needs.

Alpari has been working with the developers of Meta Trader 4 software for years for continued improvement of the software and better user experience.

Meta Trader 5 (MT5)

If you liked the MT4, you will love the Meta Trader 5. The MT5 delivers everything that traders love about Meta Trader 4 plus more.

The Meta Trader 5 has more new features and technical upgrades, giving you all the tools you need to take on the market.  You cannot trade stocks with the MT4 but with the MT5.

Most Forex brokers do not have the MT5, thus giving Alpari an edge over them.

5. Trading Accounts on Alpari

There are 7 trading accounts on Alpari. The first is a demo account, while the rest are real accounts.

• Demo account
• Micro account
• Standard account
• ECN MT4 account
• ECN MT5 account
• Pro MT4 account
• Investment account

The significant differences between these accounts are their liquidity and minimum deposit amount.

Find details on them below.

Demo Account:

The Demo account is a practice account. It lets you trade live forex markets without risking your own money. It comes with all the trading tools available in the real account.

You can fund your demo account on Alpari with up to 1 million virtual USD. However, you cannot withdraw your winnings since the demo account fund is inaccurate.

Newcomers are always advised to practice with the demo account to be sure forex is good for them before opening a real account.

Micro Account

This is designed for beginners transitioning from the demo account to a real account to start trading with the minimum amount possible.

This account displays your balance in cents; thus, $10 will be displayed as 1,000 cents.

In Nigeria, you can fund your account as low as 5 ($,€,£) or ₦1,000.

Standard Account

This is the first and oldest account type in forex trading. With it, traders can trade standard lots.

Electronic Communication Network (ECN) Account (for MT4 and MT5)

This account type has the highest liquidity.

It directly connects liquidity providers (banks, brokerages, etc.) through an automated system for buyers and sellers to execute trades.

Two of these accounts are available in Alpari: the ECN MT4 and ECN MT5 accounts.

With the MT5 account, users can trade stocks.

Pro MT4 Account

The Pro account is designed for Pro traders trading high volume.

You get greater liquidity and lower spread.

It comes with no commission, no requotes, and no compromises.

This account gives the trader the most exciting trading conditions.

The minimum deposit into this account is 25,000 ($,€,£).

Investment Account

As I explained, you will need the investment account to copy trades.

I hope you are following. You can always ask me in the comment section if you have any questions.

That said, let’s look at the supported currencies and payment methods.

6. Supported Currencies and Payment Methods

Alpari supports 4 major currencies for trading. They are:

• US dollars (USD $)
• Euro (EUR €)
• Great British Pound (GBP £)

There are 4 primary payment methods available on Alpari.

9. Alpari Customer Support

Alpari has one of the best customer support in the forex industry for these reasons:

1. Account Manager: When you create an account, Alpari assigns an account manager who will call you within 24 hours (I was called the very first hour). He/She will help you set up your account, find out what you aim to achieve, and give you options to aid you in doing so.
   You can call your account manager at any time if you have issues.
2. 24/7 Customer Support: You can contact customer support anytime via the Live chat on the home page. The live chat responds to my query within 1 minute most of the time. However, it might take up to 10 minutes on rare occasions.

I will say that the Alpari customer support is excellent because they do not leave you hanging at any point. They are always there to help you.

10. Defunct Products and Services

Here are some of the now-defunct programs on Alpari:

• PAMM Account/Portfolio: It is similar to the ‘copy trader’ Investment program on Alpari.org but gives the investor limited control over his account. It is still available on Alpari.com but might be stopped months from now.
• CryptA Capital Investment portfolio: This is an investment in cryptocurrencies. It is now defunct.
• Structured Product: This is an investment in stocks. It is similar to stock trading but it’s now defunct.

11. How to Make Massive Income on Alpari Even as a Newcomer

There are 3 major ways to earn on Alpari:

1. As a Trader: If you are a good trader, you could make a good income on Alpari from trading as well as commission on your copied trades through the Structured Managers’ Program.
2. Affiliate Program: When you invite your friends, family, or enemies to trade on Alpari through your affiliate link, and they do so, you earn a handsome commission of $50.
3. Investment Program (Copied Traders): If you do this correctly, you can earn a consistent 20 – 100% on your investment each month. No worries; I will show you how to do this step by step below.

How to Make 20% -100% monthly on Alpari Copying Traders on Auto-Pilot

Disclaimer:

The information on this page is the method I have personally tested and currently use. Results may differ if you use them.  

It is not a financial advice. If you need one, please consult your financial advisor.

• Step 1.

Create an Alpari account and verify it.

• Step 2.

Click on deposit to fund your account.

• Step 3.

Navigate to account overview to launch an “Investment Account”.

• Step 4.

In step 3, you will be shown the list of traders (Strategy Managers) to Copy. Conduct your analysis of the managers, choose, and invest.

There are 4 Major Stats I consider when conducting my analysis on a Strategy manager. They are:

1. Monthly Profit: Is the trader making a consistent monthly profit? (Make sure to check the monthly profit and not just the all-time profit).
2. Days Open: 3 months of stats is reasonable to ascertain the consistency of the Strategy Manager.
3. Drawdown: This will aid me in setting my risk level if I am satisfied with the monthly profit. For instance, if you set your risk/protection level at 70% and the Strategy Manager makes a loss of 31% before making a profit, your trade will be closed at a 30% loss to protect your capital. Even if the trade eventually makes a profit, you will not because it is already closed.
4. Manager’s Instruction: Most Strategy Manager gives instruction on how to copy their trades. Most Strategy Managers will advise you to follow their trades for 30 to 90 days for maximum profitability.

Note:

• I copy at least two traders at a time; this increases my chances of being in profit month after month. Because it is rare that two managers can make a loss in a month.
• I do not pick my managers based on Alpari Rank. A trader ranked high on Alpari might have one month of massive profit (say 800%) and several months of loss. Rather, I choose based on consistency.

I hope I have done justice to this topic. Thank me in the comment section.
