They have many brokers in Japan for the markets. But all are in Japanese....funny that. And I don't think they would allow you to open an account anyway....unless you live there .....or poss a Japanese living O/S.

GFT have a office in Tokyo.

Hello(Ohayou-gozaimasu), Tznef!
The attachment is Gaitame.com's quotes and interest swap rates. This forex broker is most famous in Japan and they have about 170,000 customer's live accounts in this September. We heard this forex broker occupies 60% of Japanese forex brokers' accounts.
If I remember right, customers living in Japan can only open an individual account with Japanese forex brokers?
(I didn't open account at GFT Japan and CMC)

About me, when I started forex trading, I opened an account at Gaitame.com. But one transaction fee is 5 pip, spread tends to widen during economic indicator announcement and slippage occurs. Although I opened accounts with FXCM Japan and Himawari(sunflower) Securities, no transaction fee, but many disadvantages. Therefore I have used US forex brokers since last spring.

Do they use their own platform or is it white label of a company?

The attachment is Gaitame.com's own platform. Their leverage ratio is 10:1 (for example, USD/JPY $10,000 ....required margin money:100,000 yen).
But, another Japanese forex brokers almost use overseas forex broker's platform(i.e. Saxo, GFT, FXCM etc...).

In Japan, forex industry hasn't been sophisticated yet. Server down and login trouble often occur during important economic indicators announcement. Meanwhile, Gaitame.com customers' margin deposits are protected against the forex broker's bankruptcy, so Japanese forex investors seem to tend to use this largest Japanese forex broker.

I agree, most of the important broker in japan does not even offer ATS to their customers, even those using protrader, disable the automated trading....that sucks in my opinion.

Why do they disable the excellent automated trading in ProTrader?

Hi, IIm an American living in Japan. I didn't want to use an overseas broker because I hate dealing with Japanese banks transferring money and changing currencies, etc. I've been using Forex.com for the last 6 months and have had no problems. Their tading platforms are MT4 and Pro Trader. I'm on MT4 and haven't demo'd ther other one. Their Japanese website is http://www.jp.forex.com/ Forex.com has offices in New York, London, Tokyo, and Singapore (I think). And no, I don't work for them Happy trading.

DMMFX expanded into Australia and are ASIC-regulated and I believe that, according to Rob Booker, even Yahoo has a forex brokerage in Japan!!
