Eight tips for Forex trading in Japan

Foreign-exchange trading in Japan

Today, the foreign-exchange (forex) market is the largest financial market in the world, with more than 200 trillion yen in market trading volume per day.

In 1998, Japan’s Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law was amended to enable ordinary investors in Japan too to take part in forex trading. Over just a few years since then, the forex market in Japan has grown to nearly surpass 80 billion yen in size.

Long ago, forex trading was a typical example of what people considered questionable financial transactions.
In fact, there were frequent cases of problems as the market was crowded with shady brokers during periods under uncertain legal and regulatory systems.

However, today forex trading is the financial instrument attracting the most attention as one in which not just ordinary investors but even homemakers and students may trade easily and at any time, as the legal system has been improved and dishonest brokers have been weeded out of the market, and with the spread of online trading.

This site introduces overseas investors to forex brokers in Japan and provides eight tips to enable beginning forex investors to succeed, including techniques for forex trading in Japan.
