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.

Average Directional Movement Index




J Welles Wilder has developed the Average Directional Index (ADX) to define trend force, whether the trend will develop further or will gradually weaken.

The simplest trading method based on the system of directional movement implies comparison of two direction indicators: the 14-period +DI (yellow) one and the 14-period –DI (Green). To do this, one either puts the charts of indicators one on top of the other, or +DI is subtracted from -DI. W. Wilder recommends buying when +DI is higher than -DI, and selling when +DI sinks lower than -DI.




Moving Average




Moving averages are one of the most popular, easy & used indicator in technical analysis & also it can be used as an overbought / oversold indicator.


The term “Moving” refers to the method of calculation which takes the average value over a fixed period of time and adds the latest period data to the calculation of the average while dropping the first period of the calculation so that the average continues to be calculated by the same number of periods but moves with each new period of data that occurs.




Commodity Channel Index (CCI)




CCI has been developed by Donald Lambert; it designed to detect beginning and ending market trends & provides an indication of overbought or oversold markets.

The CCI indicates the increasing in the prices compared to average prices as it moves towards +100.

As the CCI drops towards -100, it indicates that the price is increasingly low compared to average prices.



Bollinger Bands




Developed by John Bollinger, Bollinger Bands are an indicator that allows users to compare volatility and relative price levels over a period time. The indicator consists of three bands.

The middle line is the simple moving average, normally set as a period of 20 (number of bar/ticks in a given time period), and is used as a base to create upper/lower bands.

The upper band is the middle band added to the given deviation multiplied by a given period moving average.

The lower band is the middle band subtracted by the given deviation multiplied by a given period moving averages.
