Even though the name of the account is associated with a religion, the phrase "Islamic account" is not related to the faith. This type of accounts is provided for the Muslims, whose religion, or better to say the law of the Sharia, forbids to work with the accounts, where the swap is applied.
Swap – it's some the commission, which is charged for the transfer of the opened positions over the night.
What is SWAP
Swap is commission charged for the transfer of the opened positions over the night. All the matter is that every intra-day order on the currency market is included in the Spot category of deals. According to it, the full amount of delivery is fulfilled on the next day. However, there are a lot of traders who use this opportunity on Forex and don't close their positions at the end of the day. Some want to get more profit in the new trading day, others leave the unprofitable trades and hope, that by the next day market will begin to move in the opposite direction, which is good for them and as a result, the losses will change to the profit. In both cases, the position, which is opened during the day, will be transferred to the next day. Such trades are closed at the end of the day and opened at the beginning of the next day automatically. This is the Swap operation.
The broker carries out a charge of the commission according to the current value of the currency pairs' rates. In different cases, this value can be positive, as well as harmful. The positive sum is credited on the trader's account, negative is debited. This sum is the swap. It's usual for the Forex market.
