OTC US Stocks

OTC US Stocks

When talking about equities we're specifically talking about the trading of stocks or shares of publicly-traded companies from around the world such as Microsoft, Boeing or Pfizer. When individuals buy stocks or shares in these companies it defines the amount of interest a person holds in ownership in a corporation. Equity can also be defined as the monetary value of a property or business beyond any amounts owed on it in mortgages, claims or liens. One will find that the terms stocks and shares are used interchangeably when talking about the topic and this is because they have very similar meanings – simply put a stock in a corporation is represented by shares. The way these terms are used comes down to syntax rather than a financial or legal definition.

Unlike traditional stock trading, at ICM Capital we provide our clients with the opportunity to trade equities though the price movements of CFD trading (contract for difference). A CFD is merely a contract between two entities, such as a buyer and a seller. When applied to equities, such as the ones below this type of contract allows traders to speculate on the movement of a specific share price, without actually having ownership of the share in question.

ICM Capital offers the following major US Stocks for trading:

Swap Policy

ICM Capital offers Islamic accounts to clients following the Muslim faith. Forex Islamic accounts are also known as swap-free accounts as they imply no swap or rollover interest on overnight positions, which is against Islamic faith.

ICM Capital reserves the right to discontinue an Islamic/SWAP-free account without warning. ICM Capital will invoke this right in case of suspicion of abuse, in which case ICM Capital may, at its sole discretion, decide to close all open positions in the account and deduct or add swaps for all transactions currently and/or previously made in the account and decline from accepting any further requests from the Client to be exempted from SWAP.
