After spending considerable time researching and reflecting on my own trading approach, I’ve concluded that INVAST operates differently from many international brokers when it comes to commissions. INVAST is a regulated Japanese broker under the FSA, and instead of offering typical ECN or raw spread accounts, they primarily use their proprietary platform, Click 365, tailored for the local market. Based on the information available and my close examination, INVAST applies a flat trading fee structure. The standard trading commission per transaction is usually JPY 330 per 'sheet' (essentially per contract or lot). This fee structure can decrease with higher trading volumes: if I were to trade over 1,000 sheets monthly, the cost drops significantly to JPY 88 per sheet, and trading beyond 3,000 sheets in a month may even result in the fee being waived. For someone used to international ECN-type pricing—where a commission is charged per lot alongside tight spreads—INVAST’s setup is more transparent but also less flexible, as their spreads are defined by the Tokyo Financial Exchange and not ECN liquidity. This means that if you are looking for raw spread accounts with low markups and a transparent per-lot commission (as is typical with ECN brokers abroad), INVAST doesn’t operate that way. Their fees are set per contract and are volume-discounted, rather than a per-lot commission on an ECN pricing model. For me, as a trader prioritizing transparency and strong regulation over ultra-tight spreads, this approach offers a reassuring clarity, although I’m always careful to review fee structures fully before trading. I would strongly recommend weighing these factors to see if INVAST aligns with your trading style and cost expectations before opening an account.
