Alpari Russia Introduce Currenex ECN Demo Accounts

Way back on July 15th Alpari UK announced on their website that they:

Will launch two advanced trading platforms by the end of August, offering high-speed and direct access to the international currency market for Alpari clients and other institutional and retail customers. Powered by trading technology provider Currenex®, Alpari Direct Pro will be offered to institutional clients while Alpari Direct will be offered to retail customers.

For some reason that doesn't seem to have gone according to schedule, but it looks as though that launch is not too far off now. Alpari Russia have just announced the availability of their Direct and Direct Pro demo accounts. They say that:

It’s the first company’s step towards providing its Customers with an opportunity to work through the largest electronic trading system (ЕСN) Currenex.

Similar announcements are not currently to be seen on the Alpari UK or Alpari US websites however. As we discovered earlier this year, the three different organizations are completely separate companies, so I guess they each have their own marketing and technical schedules to keep to.

If you try to apply for one of those demo accounts you will notice that the United Kingdom and the United States seem to be missing from the list of countries that Alpari helpfully provide on their application form. I couldn't help but notice though, that if you don't mind being slightly economical with the truth about where you reside, Alpari will happily open demo accounts for you.
