Lowered Cashback at Alpari UK.
I got a email from the guys at Cashbackforex stating that Alpari UK have lowered the cashback for them, so now they are just able to give 0.1 pips / lot back. Alpari is motivating the change by saying that they’ve lowered the spreads. Sure they we’re lowered a bit last fall, but not really 0.32 pips in average I think. This unfortunatly makes Alpari UK quite uninteresting as a broker (it was just okay before).
So, what’s the best alternative? I would say FXCM/UK via Cashbackforex. They offer microlots now (at least if you sign via the guys at Cashbackforex and deposit at least $1000. Follow the instructions at the site). They have good spreads and you get 0.6 pips / lot back. FXCM also has great support. I will start an account at FXCM/UK and start unwinding my Alpari UK account.
