There will be two messages that appear when you’re unable to access your trading account. If it says “no connection”, it means you’ve selected the wrong server. If it says “invalid account”, it means you’ve entered the wrong ID/password.

1. In myAlpari, head to the ‘Accounts Overview’ section

2. On the account you wish to change the password on, click on the arrow next to the ‘Deposit’ button and select ‘Change trading password’

3. Click ‘Next’ and type in the PIN you received via email or SMS to the require fields

4. Create your new password and click ‘Submit’

A read-only password is a public password which allows you to show your results to your investors and has no trading permissions.

Make sure that your read-only password is not the same as your trading account password.

1. Inside your trading platform, select the ‘Tools’ tab and then ‘Options’

2. Click on ‘Change’ in the ‘Server’ tab, and then ‘Change investor (read-only) password’

3. Fill in the fields with your new password and click ‘Confirm’

4. Finalise the process by clicking ‘OK’

Make sure that your read-only password is not the same as your trading account password.

The net profit/loss for closed orders in your account may be summarized and presented in MT4 as balance transactions with comment "Summary trade result mm.yy" (mm represents the month and yy the year).

So if you’re looking in your trading history and you see a comment that states, for example, "Summary trade 04.18 = 9.38$", it means that net profit for all orders that closed in April 2018 was 9.38$ and it is not a deposit. Similarly, when you see in your trading history a comment, for example "Summary trade 05.18 = -10.45$", it means that the net loss of all orders that closed in May 2018 was -10.45$ and it is not a withdrawal.

Additionally, also note you can access the full trading history for every account at any time through myAlpari.
