Short answer: the RoboForex Islamic account question has a precise answer. RoboForex does not sell a separate "Islamic account"; it offers Full Swap-Free, an option you tick when you create a new trading account. It removes overnight swaps on currencies and metals only, it cannot be added to an existing account, and it may be unavailable in some regions. For copy traders, that means one rule: decide on swap-free before you open the sub-account you will copy with.
Ideal for: investors who avoid interest-based overnight charges, or who copy traders that hold positions for days. · Avoid if: you hope swap-free lowers risk or fees: spreads, the trader's performance fee and drawdowns stay the same.
What a swap is, and why copy traders pay it without noticing
A swap is the overnight financing charge (or credit) applied when a leveraged position stays open past the daily rollover. On a normal account, every position the trader keeps open overnight is copied to your account with its own swap. You never placed the trade, but you pay the rollover on your copied volume.
That is why the swap question matters more for copy traders than for people who trade a few minutes a day. A strategy whose name says it trades swings, like VendettaTrading ("SWINGS ONLY", 34 months on record in our snapshot), is the kind of strategy that may keep trades open for days. The trader's style decides how often rollovers hit your account.

How to open a swap-free account for copy trading
- Register (or log in) to the RoboForex Members Area. If you are new, our link below attaches partner code hmqe.
- Check your Benefits page to see whether Full Swap-Free is available to you.
- Go to Trading accounts → + Add account. Pick the same platform as the trader you plan to copy: MT4 for an MT4 trader, MT5 with the hedge system for an MT5 trader.
- Choose the account type for your one-step minimum (Standard-type or ProCent) and the trader's currency where possible.
- Tick the Full Swap-free account box on the form. This is the only moment you can do it.
- Enter hmqe in Partner's Agent ID if the field is empty, then confirm.
- Fund the account and subscribe to the trader from the strategy profile. The full flow is in How to copy trade on RoboForex.
If you already copy from a normal account, there is no switch. You would open a new swap-free sub-account, subscribe from it, and cancel the old subscription when you are ready. When you cancel, RoboForex leaves the trades copied before that moment open, and you manage and close them yourself.
Open the sub-account with the option ticked
Swap-free is chosen once, on the new account form. Partner code hmqe goes in the same form.

- Spreads and account commissions. Swap-free removes overnight swap charges only.
- The trader's performance fee. It is a share of profit set on each strategy card, for example 25% of profit charged every week for Kuropatkin or 15% every 4 weeks for TEPFX (snapshot 7 Nov 2026). See copy trading fees.
- Swaps on other instruments. The rules name currencies and metals. If a trader also trades an instrument outside that list, check the contract specifications for it.
- Drawdown. In our list of 18 traders the historical drop ranges from −4.23% to −29.75%. Holding positions longer without a swap does not make a drop smaller.
Is a RoboForex swap-free account halal?
Copy10X cannot answer that, and RoboForex does not present the option as a religious certification. Swap-free removes interest-like overnight charges. Whether leveraged CFD trading and profit-sharing with a strategy provider fit your beliefs is a separate question that scholars answer differently. Ask a scholar you trust, and show them the program rules, not a marketing summary.
Swap-free and ProCent: a useful overlap
RoboForex's help notes that some account types, ProCent among them, only support specific assets such as currency pairs and metals, and trades on unsupported instruments are not copied. Swap-free also covers currencies and metals. So a swap-free ProCent sub-account lines up well with traders who stay on those markets, and makes the remaining costs easier to read. Many traders in our hub show a ProCent minimum well below their Standard one, for example GlebFX: Standard 2,834 USD | ProCent 100 USD.
