[1] If open positions are modified or positions are opened or closed on Forex currency pairs on a micro.mt4 or classic.mt4 account in the hour before the trading session ends on Friday, the leverage will be fixed at 1:100 for all open and reopened positions on Forex currency pairs. Before the beginning of the next trading session, the leverage will be reset based on the total volume of open positions on the account.
[2] Margin level at which a Stop Out is triggered.
[3] On NDD and ECN accounts, in the hour before the close of the trading session on Friday, the Stop Out level is changed from 60% to 100%.
[4] For a round-turn trade (the opening and closing of a position), the commission is double. During our current promotion, the amount you pay in commission is floating, based on your overall trading volume from the start of the month. For your first 250 million in trading volume, you will pay the maximum commission. When you trade more, you will pay less in commission. The commissions shown in the table above do not apply to trading on pairs with GBP as the base currency. For these pairs, commission is even lower.
[5] For a round-turn trade (the opening and closing of a position), commission is double the normal rate. A shift to a lower commission takes place sequentially (the first 500,000 is subject to the maximum commission, the next to the next lower commission and so on). At the beginning of each month, the commission rotation starts over.
Alpari imposes restriсtions on minimum withdrawal.
