Just recently on the site I have been quite surprised by the number of expressions of religious faith that have been posted here, and it made me wonder just how frequent is this amongst traders?
I realise that a huge percentage of users are probably American here and I understand the vocal nature of a lot of extremist Christians in that part of the world, but still it is interesting to see other heavily evangelical Christian communities as well, from Africa for example, posting their religious thoughts on creating personal wealth.
I find it surprising because it is not something we see a lot of in the trading circle, it is a subject rarely talked about in my experience, and yet when it happens there seems to be an irresistible urge from other like minded individuals to affirm their belief, individuals I might add, who are normally very inactive forum members.
I'm aware of course of the existence of special Islamic forex accounts which have no rollover fees because of their belief system, Tadawul FX is a popular broker for that I believe, but even that is contentious with certain interpretations of Sharia Law.
I would be interested to hear opinion from anybody who has a viewpoint on this subject, or how religious people integrate these two vastly different worlds into a trading reality.
