			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swap free Forex accounts are set up specifically for Islamic Forex trading. These accounts specifically apply to Forex accounts that must be free of swaps and interest earnings. All of these accounts comply with Shariah laws and do not accumulate interest or swap fees. The swap free Forex accounts are free from Riba, which is unearned interest. There are also no roll over charges. Anyone can apply for a swap free Forex account as long as they do not abuse the privilege. If brokers feel you are taking advantage of the swap free account they have the right to cancel the account.</p>
<p><span id="more-38"></span><br />
When setting up a new swap free Forex account you will need to tell the broker that you want to set up an account that complies with Islamic Shariah Laws. All major brokers will be able to accommodate this request. They charge a flat fee on all trades and avoid trades that cannot be completed on the spot. Since trades cannot be made toward a future date, this will comply with the Shariah laws.</p>
<p>Swap Free Forex accounts are usually managed by brokers who will suggest trades to you. If you don’t have time to actively manage your account you can request weekly or monthly updates be given to you. Your broker can assist you in learning the basics and explain the best options for your account. If you wish to control the account by yourself you can discuss this with your broker. Most will still offer advice if you ask for it. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.</p>
<p>Swap Free Forex accounts will allow many people who have previously been excluded from the world of Forex trading to participate in this fast growing market. Although it was not allowed previously due to religious restrictions in the Muslin world, it has gained in popularity since accounts were developed to allow participation that complies with Shariah law.</p>
<p>There are many ways to find out which swap free Forex account is right for you. Some brokerages have a minimum investment amount that you must meet. There are others that let you start off small and grow your account from there. Do your research and see which account offers the features you are looking for. If you are not sure what you want to start with you may want to ask advice from a trusted friend who has some experience in the world of Forex trading.</p>
<p>If Forex trading is an interest of yours but you are not ready to make real trades you might want to try a website that offers virtual trading. You won’t make money but your mistakes will not cost you anything either. This is a good way to get your feet wet in the Forex market. You can see what trades consistently make profits and which trades you will want to avoid in the future. Get started and see if this is something you want to continue or if it was just a passing fancy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Islamic jurists generally agree that the currencies of different countries can be exchanged with those of different countries on a spot basis at a rate that is different from units. This is because currencies of different countries are unique and have different intrinsic values and purchasing power. There is also an agreement that the currency exchange is not permissible on a forward basis, this means that when the rights of both of the parties relate to an upcoming date.<br />
<span id="more-35"></span><br />
There is a difference of opinion, however, when the rights of either of the party is deferred to a different date. The difference in opinion is due to the varying interpretation of Figh by the different schools of thoughts. Despite these differences the forex trading has been used by many people in the Middle East for years. For many of these Muslims the forex exchange market has been their biggest investment. This is mostly because stock trading has not been easy for persons living in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Forex trading is quite similar to stock trading. Forex trading involves one investing their money in a particular currency and the selling it when the prices are positive. This can be simply illustrated with the use of the Iraqi Dinar and the Iranian Riyal. A few years back there was a very small margin between the exchange rate of the Iraqi Dinar and the Iranian Riyal where one Iraqi Dinar was equivalent to four Iranian Riyals while today one Iraqi Dinar is almost equivalent to 8 Iraqi Dinar so if you had bought Iraqi Dinars at that particular time you could have doubled your money by now.</p>
<p>Forex exchange markets are the largest in the world involving transactions worth US$1.5 trillion each day. The forex exchange market doesn’t have a central foreign exchange market like the stock market instead its trades are done in the “interbank” markets. In foreign exchange the trading is basically between two counterparties and does not involve middle men. Forex trading is the only 24 hour trading system and covers the entire world. The “spot market” is where trades are settled immediately and it is the largest of the forex market.</p>
<p>To start a forex exchange transaction, one needs to purchase a certain currency while at the same time selling another. The foreign exchange transaction involves the ‘long” currency which you purchase and the “short” currency that you sell. In this trading system there are no commissions charged as the dealers make the profit on the difference between the currencies that they buy and that which they sell.</p>
<p>The forex market is a good market to invest because it is instant, open 24 hrs a day, has no middlemen and no fixed trading size. The use of the internet has enabled it to become even cheaper and an economical way to invest. The downside of it is that not many of the currencies are traded on the forex exchange market and most of them are the strong currencies like the Dollar, Egyptian pound, Yen, Kuwait Dinar, UAE Dirham, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forex trading is the exchange of one foreign currency for another. The term Forex is derived from the two words foreign and exchange. It is basically the simultaneous buying of one currency and the selling of another.  These exchanges take place in pairs of currency. A Forex broker who handles your Forex account usually handles these exchanges.</p>
<p><span id="more-27"></span><br />
The basics of Islamic Forex trading are a little different from other Forex trading. In order to stay within the Shariah laws, you must follow some simple rules. There are never any swaps allowed in Islamic Forex trading. Your Islamic Forex trading account must be free of interest fees and cannot accrue other charges on the trades.</p>
<p>Whether you are a beginner at Islamic Forex trading or a seasoned veteran, it is always a good idea to find a Forex broker who can set up Islamic Forex accounts that do comply with Shariah laws. You can find many brokers who offer this service to Islamic Forex traders. I would suggest doing a great deal of research to find the Forex broker who suits your very specific needs.</p>
<p>To comply with Shariah laws you must understand the basics of Islamic Forex trading. You must eliminate any Riba or unlawful gain from entering into your exchanges. This requires strict and watchful guidelines which must be adhered to. You are not allowed to do swaps or make trades that cannot be completed the day of the trade. You cannot defer the trade to a future date. Roll over charges do not apply in the basics of Islamic Forex trading. That would violate the Shariah laws governing Islamic Forex trading.</p>
<p>Islamic Forex trading has become increasingly popular in countries where it was formerly forbidden. The current Forex market is one of the largest financial markets in the world. In order for Muslims to participate, new rules had to be established. Forex traders will offer Islamic Forex accounts to their clients and charge a flat fee for their services. Most brokers reserve the right to discontinue the accounts if they feel they are being abused. The brokers are familiar with all the ins and outs of Islamic Forex trading.</p>
<p>In order to start learning the basics of Islamic Forex trading you should do some research to become very familiar with the practices that comply with Shariah laws. You will save yourself a lot of time if you contact a Forex broker who can instruct and guide you through your first trades. There are also websites that allow you to do “practice trades”. This will get you started and since you are not using real money in the Forex trades you will not lose or gain any real money.</p>
<p>The basics of Islamic Forex trading are a little more complicated than in other Forex trading, but you should take time to learn all you need to know in order to be in compliance with all Shariah laws. Learn all you can and get started right away in Islamic Forex trading.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In order to get started in the world of Islamic Forex trading you will want to find a broker who is capable of setting up an Islamic Forex trading account. They must be familiar with Shariah laws and how to stay in compliance with them. There are many websites you can go to and look at what is offered.</p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span><br />
A good Islamic Forex broker will explain the basics of Forex trading to you. They can set up an account that is swap free that does not collect overnight interest. This is a very important need that must be met. Fortunately, almost every Forex broker can set you up with an Islamic Forex trading account. This has allowed the followers of Islamic law to participate in the Forex trading that has virtually exploded in popularity world wide. Until Islamic Forex accounts came into practice, Muslims were unable to participate in this fast growing avenue of trading.</p>
<p>Your Islamic Forex broker should be experienced and have a good knowledge of Forex trading. Do some research on your own to find out what trades are often the best choice. You should never blindly follow someone’s suggestions without knowing what you are getting into. Don’t allow greed to guide you in Forex trading. You should also never be too timid.</p>
<p>As with all market products various things can affect Islamic Forex trading. Your Islamic Forex broker should be keeping up with world events that shape the market. The news, a country’s ecomonic status, and even weather can have an affect on Forex trades.</p>
<p>There are many online Islamic Forex brokers who can work with you. You should check to see if they pay in a manner that you can accommodate. They will also need to be able to provide you with real time quotes. You may want to check with business associates to see who they might recommend if they already have an Islamic Forex broker.</p>
<p>Real world Islamic Forex brokers may be more in keeping with your needs. You may want to deal with a person that you can contact by phone whenever you need to speak with them. Either way, you will want to find someone who has been Forex trading for a while. You should be able to put your trust in them. You need to know they will execute your trading quickly and accurately.</p>
<p>You can find Islamic Forex brokers who trade in specialty areas if that is where your interests lie. Some will specialize in trading precious metals. Other brokers may deal with commodity trades as their main interest. This would include oil trading. This is a specialty market where you need to keep up with current oil prices as well as supply and demand.</p>
<p>As I already mentioned, you can find an Islamic Forex broker online or in the real world. Choose which would best suit your needs. Do some research, keep an eye on the market, and find a broker whom you trust with your trades.</p>
