Alpari has become a rubbish broker. Slow prices, interupted price feeds and constant requotes Will not let you out of a position until you are losing. I would NOT recommend this platform or broker as there are much better around

I have been using alpari UK for half a year now and I'm fed up with getting requoted, when it comes time to place an order. I have also had the metatrader freeze when there was a news announcement, making the price jump or drop drastically.
And today when I signed into my metatrader account, it said something about a "Negative balance adj" which means, I can not trade due to there not being enough in my account.
I am looking for a new broker in the UK that let's you deposit by credit card, as I have had enough of alpari UK....

My only question is why post only negative comments to your sites for newcomers like me to get what first impression?
