Trading Systems: What are they?

A trading system is a method (or system) used by traders whereby they follow clearly defined rules to trade the markets. As mentioned above, trading systems aim to limit emotion levels that often occur when trading forex. 

Trading with real capital can often involve emotion or psychology and as such can present a risk as it can often lead to mistakes based on impulses that can result in losses. Of course, trading systems can generate losses to the same extent as emotion-based trading.

It is considered that in the same way as relying on a diversified portfolio of currencies to lessen the likelihood of severe misfortunes; a portfolio of forex trading systems can diversify trading results.*

Trading systems generally take on two forms:

Trading systems where computer programs generate buy/sell signals

Trading systems where the individual traders follow clearly-defined mathematical rules or market analysis; applying discretion at discerning price projections for generating buy/sell signals

Forex trading is haram: Malaysia’s Fatwa Council

Malaysia’s National Fatwa Council has ruled that foreign exchange trading is forbidden or ‘haram’ for Muslims as it was against the Islamic Sharia law.

“A study by the committee found that such trading involves currency speculation, which contradicts Islamic law. For that reason, the National Fatwa Council has decided that it is haram for Muslims to participate in such trading,” the Council chairman, Dr Abdul Shukor Husin, was quoted as saying by the Star newspaper.

He said Muslims should not participate in forex trading as there were many doubts about it, given that it involved individuals using the Internet with uncertain outcomes.

“Other forms of trading in foreign currencies, such as trading by money changers or between banks, are permissible as they do not involve currency speculation or uncertain outcomes,” he said.

Dr Husin said the meeting also decided that it was permissible for Muslims to invest or save under the Premium Saving Certificate scheme by a local bank here.

He said the committee was satisfied with the briefing given by the country’s central banks Shariah panel regarding the scheme’s implementation.

Dr Husin added that the committee also agreed to formulate guidelines on Muslim couples having their wedding ceremony in a mosque to allay doubts that the ceremony purportedly follows Christian practices, the report said.
