Question: Is SigmaForex Partner with North Finance?

Answer: For Sure SigmaForex is an independent broker.

Answer: Because you don't follow the instructions of Meta Trader 4

Question: What are these instructions?

Answer: 1st You have to make sure that your new installation is separated from the other installations that already exist.

Question: Please, open a channel of understanding for me

Answer: Tell You What?!

Look there is a problem in Meta Trader which is that most of brokers are using it as a trading station. Also most of traders are using it without any suffer because it's so easy & so simple while trading.

But because most of brokers are using it so you may find a conflict inside your Meta trader & another Meta Trader for a different broker inside our PC.

For Example: SigmaForex & North finance: the both are different brokers

After installing Meta Trader of SigmaForex & After Installing the Meta Trader of North Finance I found SigmaForex-Demo inside North Finance Meta Trader 4! I thought they are related to each others but the truth is that they are different independent brokers, but while installing one of them a file has been transferred from one Meta Trader to the other.

Open C:\Program Files\MetaTrader - SigmaForex\config

Open C:\Program Files\FxPro MetaTrader\config

You Will find SigmaForex.srv


SRV file is a linkage between your setup & the server of the broker, so if one or more from these files transferred from one setup to another it will show you two brokers in the same Platform!

SigmaForex Doesn't Have Any Errors

Strange And unbelievable!
Meta Trader 4 has the option that you can enter more than type of account for different brokers through the same platform.
For Example If You installed SigmaForex Platform, you will find in your drive C:/ the following Pass: [C:\Program Files\MetaTrader – SigmaForex]
If you installed another Meta Trader 4 for another broker a conflict can be occurred because 2 Meta Trader 4 but for different Brokers.
Let's Continue our example with another broker like FXCM or Interbankfx or Swiss Global Broker. All of them are using Meta Trader 4 as trading station. Let's Install FXCM Software.You will find this pass in your Drive C:/ [C:\Program Files\FXCM Trader 4]
N.B: Some Versions of windows copy the same folders while installing the same version of the software .


That You may find FXCM installed inside SigmaForex & this one from the disadvantage in Meta Trader 4 & Meta Quote published this issue in their FAQs to be available for Traders to solve the issue.
The Solution is to open the platform that you are using e.g.: SigmaForex. Then Open A folder called Config. [C:\Program Files\MetaTrader - SigmaForex\config]
You have to erase All SRV files for other brokers & just leave SigmaForex-Demo.svr and SigmaForex-live.svr
And here's the post of the Meta quote from their website:
"Client terminal allows you to connect to any MetaTrader 4 Server. If you connected to another company's server from your client terminal, the parameters of that connection were stored in a special configuration SRV file in the "\MetaTrader 4\config\" folder of the client terminal.To remove foreign servers from the server list of your client terminal, just go to the "\MetaTrader 4\config\" folder of the client terminal and delete the unn.

Foreign Exchange





FOREX (Foreign Exchange) is the largest financial market in the world, and includes trading between large banks, (Central banks, Commercial Banks, Investments Banks) currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments, and other financial markets and institutions.The average daily trade in the global FOREX and related markets currently is over US$ 3 trillion where all the transactions achieved over the counter (OTC) that there is no specific place for trading.It began with gold exchange between countries. As a country's economy strengthened, its imports would increase until the country ran down its gold reserves, which were required to support its currency. As a result, the money supply would diminish, interest rates escalate and economic activity slowed to the point of recession. Ultimately, prices of commodities would hit bottom, appearing attractive to other nations, who would rush in and amid a buying frenzy inject the economy with gold until it increased its money supply, driving down interest rates and restoring wealth into the economy. Such boom-bust patterns abounded throughout the gold standard until World War I temporarily discontinued trade flows and the free movement of gold.

Forex and The Bretton Woods Agreement


The Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944, fixed national currencies against the dollar, and set the dollar at a rate of USD 35 per ounce of gold. The agreement was aimed at establishing international monetary steadiness by preventing money from taking flight across countries, and to curb speculation in the international currency market. Due to the World War II, the economy of many nations has suffered. During the sixties, however, national economies moved in different directions which paved way to its collapse.The Agreement was finally abandoned in 1971, and the US dollar would no longer be convertible into gold. By 1973, currencies of major industrialized nations became more freely floating, controlled mainly by the forces of supply and demand which acted in the foreign exchange market. Prices were floated daily, with volumes, speed and price volatility all increasing throughout the 1970s, giving rise to new financial instruments, market deregulation and trade liberalization.
