Alpari Demo Server STILL Down

Many have asked what has happened with the Alpari demo. The Alpari UK demo server continues to be down with no word on when it will be running again. We have not abandoned that demo. As soon as the server is back online the trading will resume on that account. The Varengold demo is still running but has taken a pretty sizable hit as it attempts to weather this market mess.

Risk Disclosure

U.S. Government Required Disclosure: Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Forex,
Initial Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to participate in the foreign currency markets. Don't trade with money you cant afford to lose. This is not a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. WE DO NOT TRADE FUTURES OR OPTIONS. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Risk Warning! Trading foreign exchange includes the use of margin and carries with it a high Initial level of risk which may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose nor should you ever invest borrowed funds. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from independent financial, tax and legal advisors if you have any doubts.
