Please note this is a change to the previously published schedule of Tuesday 18th August 23:00 GMT
Effective from Wednesday 19th August 07:00 GMT (09:00 MT4), minimum spreads across ALL currency pairs and precious metals on all accounts are tightened.
Flexible spread minimums are reduced on average by 25% and up to 60% for some currency pairs compared with previous fixed spreads.
With the introduction of additional price feeds, clients can access significantly tighter spreads as we pass on the benefit of the tighter spreads available to us from the Interbank market.
Flexible spreads will also bring a greater degree of price-transparency to clients's trades along with institutional-level pricing and lower transactional costs.
The introduction of significantly lower minimum spreads supports our commitment to providing clients with the most accurate Forex pricing, better execution and wider market access. We will also take every opportunity to tighten them further in the future.
During certain times of the day, periods of lower liquidity and when there is increased market volatility, spreads will naturally widen. Fully understanding the dynamics of flexible spreads is key to better-informed and more considered trading and the Alpari Academy will soon feature new tutorials and expert, impartial advice on the topic of spreads.
If you would like to discuss this subject or any aspect of our service, please email Client Services at support@alpari.co.uk.

Please note our Terms of Business and Customer Agreement have been amended to reflect the introduction of flexible spreads.
