How to Trade Exotic Currency Pairs | SigmaForex

Trading with the exotic currency pairs is less popular than with the major currencies pairs such as EUR/USD and USD/JPY, but the mechanics of trading is the same. Both technical and fundamental analysis works the same for exotics and the same strategies that work for the major pairs can generate signals for the exotic currency pairs. But what to do when your broker doesn’t support trading with the specific exotic pair? Changing broker to open a position isn’t a good idea, but there is a way to trade some pairs on the brokers that don’t have them.

The exotic currency pairs are also often called cross pairs, because in reality they are often nothing more than the derivatives from the major currency pairs. That opens a possibility to substitute such pairs with majors. For example, you want to sell NZD/JPY, but your broker has no such pair, though it offers NZD/USD and USD/JPY. So, all you need to do is to sell NZD/USD and NZD/JPY, the resulting positions will give you the same combined profit as the NZD/JPY short position would give you. Another example: if you want to buy EUR/AUD, but your broker only offers EUR/USD and AUD/USD then you just need to buy EUR/USD and sell AUD/USD. The general rule is the following: to go long on cross X/Y — buy major with X in the first position or sell one with X in the second and sell major with Y in the first position or buy it if Y is in the second position. To go short — do the same but vice versa.

Unfortunately this technique has two important disadvantages:

1. You can’t set stop-loss and take-profit level like with a single currency pair position. You depend on two positions combined and the majority of the Forex brokers doesn’t support combined stop-losses or take-profits on two orders.
2. Position size uncertainty makes it difficult manage your risks in such trades, because the base currency for those positions can be different.

If you don’t trade exotics too often and you like your current broker, then you probably wouldn’t want to change your broker to get more currency pairs. But if you open such positions more than once a month then this technique isn’t something you need. In this case I’d recommend changing your broker.

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 Regulations - 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.

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!

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.
