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.

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

SigmaForex Concept

Foreign Exchange is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. The foreign exchange market ( FOREX ) is the largest financial market in the world, with a volume of over $1.3 trillion daily; more than three times the aggregate amount of the US Equity and Treasury markets combined. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location, no central exchange. It operates through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The lack of a physical exchange enables the Forex market to operate on a 24-hour basis, spanning from one zone to another across the major financial centers.Traditionally, investors' only means of gaining access to the foreign exchange market was through banks that transacted large amounts of currencies for commercial and investment purposes. Trading volume has increased rapidly over time, especially after exchange rates were allowed to float freely in 1971

Conversely, if the outlook is pessimistic, we have a bull market for other currencies and traders take profits by selling the currency against other currencies. In either case, there is always a good market trading opportunity for a trader.Inter-bank market

- The backbone of the Forex market consists of a global network of dealers. They are mainly major commercial banks that communicate and trade with one another and with their clients through electronic networks and telephones. There are no organized exchanges to serves a central location to facilitate transactions the way the New York Stock Exchange serves the equity markets. The Forex market operates in a manner similar to the way the NASDAQ market in the United States operates, thus it is also referred to as an over the counter ( OTC ) market.No one can corner the market

- The Forex market is so vast and has so many participants that no single entity, not even a central bank, can control the market price for an extended period of time. Even interventions by mighty central banks are becoming increasingly ineffectual and short lived. Thus central banks are becoming less and less inclined to intervene to manipulate market prices

A Margin Based SystemCurrency trading used to be an investment for wealthy investors. Ordinary investors could only envy the returns made from the currency hedge fund managers. However, due to the advent of the internet and prevalence of online trading, currency trading has become more and more popular. Today, foreign exchange trading is no longer only available to the wealthiest through the big investment banks. Futures commercial merchants approved by CFTC are also able to offer foreign exchange as a product to everyday investors at an affordable level. Thanks to the invention of leverage and margin trading system, investors can trade much bigger contract size with a fraction amount of deposits required. Increase Your Buying PowerLeverage is the use of various financial instruments or borrowed capital, such as margin, to increase the potential return of an investment. Many traders consider leverage dangerous because traders add bigger position sizes without actually owning them. Nevertheless, leverage is an exceptionally good tool that can be utilized to increase your buying power as long as trader has a risk management plan associated with it. Some seasoned currency trader harness leverage effectively in currency trading. They apply small leverage to test the market sentiment. Once the strategy works with small position size and leverage, they then multiply leverage quickly to maximize profit potentials.How it WorksFor Example: in order to trade 100,000 units of USD/JPY. Traditionally, trader needs 100,000 US dollars or we say 1:1 leverage (trading cash). However, with 100:1 leverage, currency trader is only required to deposit 1/100th of the amount needed, 1,000 US dollars
