What is forex trading?


The reason they are called Islamic Forex accounts or Shariah forex accounts is not because you must be a Muslim to open an Islamic Forex account. That might cause legal problems. The reason they are called Islamic Forex accounts is because they were created to meet the needs of the Islamic trading community.
According to Islamic law, or Shariah law, it is forbidden for Muslims to expect anything in return for their giving, and it is therefore forbidden to pay or accept any sort of interest in the financial markets.
This is very relevant when it comes to the Forex market and the concept of rollover fees. Rollover fees are interest fees that Forex traders pay when leaving a position open overnight. They are also referred to as SWAPs and are intended to cover the fees that the banks charge for leaving transactions open overnight. Islamic Forex accounts are therefore Swap free Forex.
the primary characteristics of islamic Forex trading accounts:

Swap Free Forex Account: In Forex trading, when traders leave positions open overnight, it is referred to as a rollover. This usually entails rollover fees, but when trading with a Forex Islamic account, these fees are waved. Get Best Forex brokers herehttp://alpari.com

In reply to Qingyu's post
Forex is the wet dream of all wet dreams to IM'ers. I reckon 95% of cheapy EA vendors (as in MT4) don't know even the basics of trading. Beyond that its true to say that the vast trading educational and trading signal service industry is largely hosted by failed traders themselves.

Think about it, if you have developed and refined a profitable trading system over the many years it takes to do so--why would you want to get involved with jo public. Why would you want to become a service vendor. You can make as much money as you desire working quietly away on your lonesome without any aggravation or commitment to others.

There are a tiny handful of legitimate service providers where the owner has a genuine desire to educate and share with others. The remaining 99.9% are charlatans and skamsters with degrees in deception.

Here endeth the lesson.

The proof not to use only the Manufacturing PMI as single leading indicator is: Feb 1st based on January data, UK Manufacturing PMI stood at 52.1, the German one at 51, both slightly expanding. As leading indicator for Q1 GDP this indicator was worthless !
UK Q1 GDP -0.3% QoQ and Germany +0.5% QoQ. For Germany the IFO "Business Expectations" (currently 100.9, slight expansion) or maybe the Markit Composite PMI (49.8, slight contraction) are both a lot better.

I share the fundamental catalysts for further EUR/USD downside. except that QE3 is just a question of 6-12 months, given that even Kocherlakota emphasized that easing might come. http://reut.rs/JSjEcm)

As for indicators you stated in the previous post that ZEW is a worse indicator than PMI (with which I agree), but you did not say that IFO and ZEW are both worse, that's what you claim now.

IFO is in fact a mixture of PMI industrial(now at 45) and services (currently at 52).

The services PMI of 52 gives more insights on local German conditions and they are effectively expanding, see also latest strong construction figures! However since China and the rest of Europe is slowing, the German exporters, strongly reflected in the industrial PMI of 45, are slowing. By the way, given the latest US trade balance, the US exporters seem to be even more slowing!

As consequence, Markit has created the Composite PMI and this indicator better corresponds to IFO. It stands at 49.6. Link: http://www.MarkitEconomics.com/MarkitFiles/Pages/ViewPressRelease.aspx?ID=9561
