Alpari's Annual Traders' Contests Begin

Dear Clients,

Alpari would like to inform you of the beginning of our annual traders' contests in 2010. Instead of one big contest, this year there will be 4 new separate competitions:

• "Jackpot" - for classic account holders;
• "Crazy Pips" - for micro account holders;
• "Virtual Reality" - for clients trading on demo accounts.

For our English-speaking clients, registration for the first round starts on January 21, 2010.

We have substantially improved the contest terms and conditions, making it as easy as possible for you to participate in them. Out of the principal differences in the competition this year, we will make note of the following:

• Introduction of the new "Recovery Factor" indicator, which describes the relationship between percentage of profit and a low point. Thanks to this, the contest will continue to objectively reflect participants' trading and become more intuitive.
• All prizes have been increased by 20%.
• The implementation of open registration, which allows traders to join the contest at any time without exception.
• The total prize pool has increased 35,380 USD from last year, now totaling 215,380 USD.

We'd also like to invite you to take part in the "Formula FX" contest, which consists of a series of short week-long competitions, taking place every other week. This year, every 7 days there will be 1,600 USD in prizes, with the winner receiving 400 USD, compared to the 200 USD last year.

You can find more detailed information on our website, including rules, participant ratings, round schedules, and, of course, more information about the prizes.

Best Wishes,
Alpari RU
