Reflecting on my experience and the data available, I have to approach Star Store with considerable caution. First, the most significant disadvantage is the complete lack of valid regulatory oversight. For me and most serious traders, regulation isn’t just a formality—it’s the cornerstone of trust, offering clients some recourse and oversight in case of disputes or malpractices. Star Store carries a “high potential risk” warning and is flagged for having a suspicious regulatory license as well as scope of business, which for me instantly raises concerns about fund safety and transparency. Additionally, Star Store’s risk management index is marked at zero, which is a red flag in my evaluation process; robust risk management procedures are crucial, and a low score here makes it impossible for me to feel confident about the broker's internal controls. While the company claims to have operated for five to ten years and is registered in Japan, I cannot put much weight on these claims without credible regulatory validation. On the other hand, one faint potential advantage I notice is that they appear to have maintained a business presence for several years, which might appeal to those seeking a local Japanese broker. However, the absence of regulatory backing, combined with explicit warnings about high risk, far outweigh any possible benefit in my view. For me, when choosing a broker, safety of funds and transparency are non-negotiable; Star Store unfortunately does not meet these baseline standards.
