Commenting on the new platform, Andrey Vedikhin, co-founder of the Alpari Group, said: "The Alpari Group now provides its institutional clients with one of the most comprehensive selections of advanced trading tools and expert resources available from any online Forex trading provider. We are also committed to offering a commission structure – starting with zero commission for the first three months of the platform’s launch – that is highly competitive and as compelling as the platform itself.
