CFD trading in Iraq is conducted exclusively through internationally regulated offshore brokers. The Iraq Securities Commission (ISC) oversees the Iraq Stock Exchange but does not regulate retail CFD platforms. Iraqi traders access global markets via FCA, ASIC and CySEC-regulated brokers, which provide fund segregation and transparent trading conditions. Islamic (swap-free) accounts are essential for the vast majority of Iraqi traders observing Sharia law.
Cryptocurrency deposits are the most practical funding route for many Iraqi traders, as international banking connectivity can be limited. USDT (Tether) is widely used for broker funding. Despite infrastructure challenges, Iraq has a growing young population with strong interest in forex and gold trading as alternatives to volatile local investment options.

Yes. Several FCA and ASIC-regulated brokers accept Iraqi residents. Account opening typically requires a passport and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement). Banking limitations mean cryptocurrency is the most common funding method.
Gold (XAU/USD), Brent crude oil and major forex pairs (EUR/USD, USD/JPY) are the most popular CFDs among Iraqi traders. These instruments offer liquidity and relevance to Iraq's oil-driven economy.
Cryptocurrency deposits — particularly USDT (Tether) — are the most reliable option due to banking restrictions. Some brokers also accept Skrill or Neteller funded via cryptocurrency, giving traders additional flexibility.
Yes. All brokers on this list offer Islamic swap-free accounts suitable for Iraqi traders following Sharia principles. These eliminate overnight interest charges entirely.
