SigmaForex LTD Regulations:

SigmaForex LTD working now to be regulated with FSA (United Kingdom Financial Service Authority) but now SigmaForex LTD is complying with FSA and many financial authorities like NFA, CFTC, FSC and others.

Why SigmaForex LTD not working in the regulation of NFA?

Most of Traders ask this question and it's a common question for any broker. Here's the answer; NFA (National Future Association) regulate the Financial Companies that based in United State and have Future Trading. SigmaForex LTD not inside United State and doesn't has Future Trading. But NFA rules are compatible with the rules that SigmaForex is following and you can check with your self.

Complying: Means that this company follows the rules 100% and meet their regulatory obligations efficiently.

Dear Trader, you must be involved and know the difference between FSA and NFA. Many Forex Brokers inside united State not regulated by NFA because they don't work with Future Trading but they are complying with them & follow the same rules as the Forex broker that regulated with NFA.

Forex Broker Regulation - Part One

What good is forex broker that you can trade and make money with, but when it comes time to take your money, they don't give it to you, because they don’t have it?

Forex Broker Bust Story. Refco was the biggest forex broker that was worth around $4 billion dollars. In October of 2005, Refco shut down its operations and every trader who had money with them got screwed big time.

Refco was regulated and for some time they were spending not only their profits but also deposits of their clients.
The amounts of money that traders saw on their trading platforms and the amounts of money Refco had in their bank accounts were different by $400 million.

So when the news hit the wire that Refco is running at such deficit, traders panicked and started asking for withdrawals. The only problem was that Refco was $400 million short of what it owed to traders.

There was a trial of course, and whatever assets the company had the court ordered to distribute among traders. I knew some people that had money with Refco. As far as I remember, after all assets were sold they got around 10% of what was owed to them. That means if person had $10,000 in his trading account, he got only $1,000 of it.

Forex Broker Regulation - Part Two

Difference Between Regulated And Complying

The Most Common Question that traders ask brokers is:

"Are You Regulated by NFA?"
"Are You Regulated by FSA?"
"Are You Regulated by CFTC?"
"Are You Regulated by SEC?"
"Are You Regulated by SIPC?"
"Are You Regulated by FINRA?"
"Are You Regulated by Mr.X?" :)

No, Don't Ask this question because there are many fictions regulations. Don't Be The Fish!
The Right Action to take is to compare between the rules and restrictions of the regulatory associations and the rules that the broker follow.

Complying With FSA means that this broker working in the regulation process and follow all the rules that the regulatory body has.

Regulated By FSA means that this broker already regulated by FSA & may Follow the rules.

Why?
NFA, FSA, CFTC, SIPC, SEC, .....etc all of these associations are private sectors in the origin. The Main Aim is to Collect as much brokers as they can to increase from their popularity beside the governmental associations
Do You Know that FSA, NFA or others charge Millions Of Dollars to authorize the regulation of brokers. All these money are distributed as following;
1- Part For The Tax Authority
2- Part For The Private Sector
3- Part For Governmental Sector
Some Brokers Play with these rules after paying all of these parts and it's time for scamming.

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!

Errors In The MetaTrader 4 | SigmaForex

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 unnecessary SRV files.

It simply means that here is a stochastic indicator that would use the past twenty days of price action for calculation purposes. This is not the time to learn what a stochastic indicator is, but it would suffice for the moment if you are aware of this word. All that you need to know now is that it is a leading indicator.
