We accept accounts starting from $3,300 USD. However, please note:

  • $3,300–$6,600 – Higher risk, suitable for experienced traders only
  • $6,600–$9,900 – Moderate risk, balanced approach
  • $10,000+ – Standard risk profile, recommended for most investors

Accounts below $10,000 are subject to higher volatility and require active risk monitoring. We recommend a minimum of $10,000 for optimal performance.

Which brokers offer Islamic/swap-free accounts?

We support any MT5 broker that offers genuine swap-free Islamic accounts:

  • No interest charged or earned on overnight positions
  • Transparent administrative fees (if any)
  • Competitive spreads
  • Reliable execution

Recommended brokers: AvaTrade Kenya and IC Markets - Both offer excellent swap-free conditions and Sharia compliance certification with leverage up to 1:500.

Other supported brokers include: FP Markets (Islamic accounts), Pepperstone (Islamic accounts), and FXCM (Islamic accounts).

Trading & EA/AI

How does your EA/AI trading work?

+

Our EA/AI combines 20+ years of manual trading experience with advanced automation, all while maintaining Sharia compliance:

  • AI Analysis: Analyzes 28+ currency pairs in real-time
  • Pattern Recognition: Identifies high-probability setups
  • Risk Management: Dynamic position sizing based on market conditions
  • 24/7 Operation: Never misses a trading opportunity
  • Emotion-Free: Strictly follows proven strategies
  • Sharia Monitor: Ensures no prohibited transactions occur

The system executes trades automatically through your MT5 account with millisecond latency, all while maintaining swap-free status.

What is the expected return on investment?

+

Historical performance (2025-2026) on swap-free Islamic accounts:

  • Average annual return: 25-35%
  • Win rate: 68%
  • Maximum drawdown: 40%
  • Sharpe ratio: 1.8

Important: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Forex trading carries substantial risk. All trading is conducted on swap-free accounts in compliance with Islamic finance principles.

Do I have control over my trades?

+

Yes! You maintain full control while ensuring Sharia compliance:

  • Read-only EA/AI access - We can execute trades but cannot withdraw funds
  • Kill switch - Disconnect our EA at any time
  • Live dashboard - View your account balance, open positions, and trade history in real-time
  • Complete transparency - All trades are visible on your MT5 dashboard

Your funds always remain in your broker account - we never have withdrawal access.

Halal/Sharia Compliance

Is your trading truly halal? Certified

+

Yes, since 2006 we've maintained strict Sharia compliance:

  • Swap-free accounts - No interest (riba) on overnight positions
  • No gambling (maisir) - Pure forex trading with analysis, not speculation
  • No uncertainty (gharar) - Transparent trading conditions
  • Ethical investments - No prohibited instruments (alcohol, tobacco, gambling stocks)
  • AI-enforced compliance - 100% monitoring of all trades
  • No hidden fees - Full transparency in all charges

We recommend that individuals consult their local Islamic scholar for personal guidance on our trading platform.

What makes swap-free accounts Islamic?

+

Swap-free (Islamic) accounts comply with Sharia law by:

  • No riba (interest): No interest charged or earned on positions held overnight
  • Administrative fees: Fixed transparent fees may apply instead of variable interest
  • Same execution: No difference in trade execution or spreads
  • Sharia certification: Many brokers have official Islamic account certification

We only work with brokers who provide genuine swap-free accounts, not those who disguise interest as administrative fees.

Do you have Sharia board certification?

+

We do not have an internal Sharia Supervisory Board. Instead, we follow a different approach:

  • Our strategy – We strictly adhere to swap-free, interest-free trading principles
  • Broker selection – We partner only with brokers offering genuine Islamic accounts
  • Client responsibility – We recommend that each individual consults their own local Islamic scholar to ensure our platform aligns with their personal interpretation of Sharia
  • Transparency – All trading activities are fully visible on your MT5 dashboard for your own review

We are committed to providing a halal trading environment to the best of our knowledge, but we encourage you to seek personal religious guidance.
