DailyForex.com Advice...

No matter what type of Forex account you choose, it's important to execute your trades as wisely and responsibly as possible. It's also important to understand the characteristics of your specific account. Therefore, if you're opting for an Islamic account, consider the options below:

• Swap Free Forex Account: In Forex trading, a rollover is the term used to describe a position left open overnight. This type of trading usually has fees attached to it, but Islamic accounts waive these fees.
• No Riba: Although most financial institutions and banks charge or pay interest of some sort, but Islamic accounts eliminate all forms of interest.
