Drawing from my years of experience as a forex trader, the primary advantage I observed with SANKO is its strong regulatory foundation. SANKO has held an FSA license in Japan for 15–20 years, and this sustained oversight is meaningful to me because it suggests operational stability and an adherence to local compliance standards. I always look for licensing from reputable regulatory authorities, as it helps ensure that basic client protections are in place. However, after examining SANKO’s offering, I see significant drawbacks for most international traders and, frankly, for those seeking a typical forex trading environment. SANKO does not provide access to forex, commodities, indices, or cryptocurrencies. Their focus is almost exclusively on Japanese stocks, futures, options, bonds, ETFs, and REITs, which is quite limiting if you are primarily a forex trader like me. I also could not find any information about leverage, spreads, or trading platforms—MT4 and MT5 are notably absent. These omissions make it difficult for me to evaluate the true cost and user experience associated with trading here. Additionally, their website and support are only available in Japanese, which can be a considerable barrier unless you are fluent or based in Japan. For transparency and convenience, I require clear, accessible information and support in my language. Given these factors, while SANKO appears legitimate and safe for its domestic niche, it does not meet the needs or standards I expect as an active and globally oriented trader.
