Hi all,
I was reading Alpari (UK) Ltd Announces Record Customer and Forex Trading Volume Growth in 2008, Alpari Brand's 10th Birthdaythat on alpari UK web site. What they say is, it seems, that if you open an account there, should Alpari have trouble, the first 5K of this account are protected on a segregated account.
So, at least if you have limited money on your account, you should not fear a real problem.
Did I understand that right ? I must say that I am not 100% sure I get right this segregated account thing (who is responsible for that money?...).
Anyway, that's a quite cool regulation, it means if you go for a regulated broker, your money won't vanish madoff-style![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
