Islamic Swap Free Account
In Bitcoin, there is the payment of swaps every day: this is the interest rate of a bitcoin that bitcoin earns per day. This interest for bitcoin like the Australian Dollar is 5%, this means that every day a fraction of this five percent is paid to anyone holding this Australian Dollar.
This brings the Issue of paying and getting paid of an interest payment which is an Issue in the Islamic Religion. Islamic Religion does not allow paying & getting paid of interest, for Islamic bitcoin traders there is a trading account designed in accordance with their Values: Referred to as Swap Free.
For this btcusd trading account a trader will not pay the overnight rollover interest on any bitcoin trade and will also net get paid any interest, this is also known Shariah Compliant where there is no paying of RIBA (interest) - also referred to as Islamic Accounts.
For a trader to get a swap free account, a trader has to go to a bitcoin trading Islamic cryptocurrency trading broker & choose option of 'Islamic Account', This option is provided under the Accounts Section of the broker specifying instructions of opening one of these accounts.
Once a trader opens a this btcusd trading account, then the Bitcoin rollover interest is removed. Once this no paying of interests is set, if a trader is using a platform such as the MetaTrader 4 then the rollover fee record will be set to zero.
Rollover fee is charged daily at the end of the trading day for those holding bitcoin for which a swap is to be applied. As a trader if you do not want to pay this rollover you should close your trades before the end of the day, that way you will not pay the rollover fee as you are no longer holding open bitcoin trade. Because the btcusd trading market does not open on Saturday and Sunday, the rollover for these 2 day will be charged on Wednesdays, meaning on Wednesday one will pay the rollover for Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, & therefore on Wednesdays this rollover fee is paid 3 Times.
These positions that pay a rollover interest are commonly known by traders as Overnight Trade Positions. Day Traders rarely leave their trades opened overnight & close them all before the end of the day. Swing Traders on the other hand might leave their trades opened for a few days and leave these trades overnight so that to capture more movement in the bitcoin trading price trend.
