As an experienced trader, I approach every broker with a focus on regulatory status and transparency, especially when it comes to trading instruments and fees. With Akatsuki, I've found several points worth noting based on my investigation. Akatsuki is regulated by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan, which for me is a significant reassurance in terms of operational oversight and client protection. The broker has maintained its license for 15–20 years and operates with a physical office, which speaks to a certain level of legitimacy in an industry where this is often lacking. However, in terms of available trading instruments, Akatsuki does not offer traditional forex or commodities trading. Instead, their product range is centered on Japanese and foreign stocks, investment trusts, and bonds. For traders like myself who are accustomed to a wider array of options—forex pairs, indices, or cryptocurrencies—this limited focus could be restrictive. Still, for investors specifically interested in Japan's regulated stock and bond markets, Akatsuki’s offering may be adequate. When examining their fee structure, I noticed that commissions on domestic stocks range from 0.2475% to 1.265%, while foreign stock commissions span a much wider spectrum, from 0.33% up to 16.5%. The presence of various entry, exit, and margin trading fees makes it essential to calculate the total cost before trading. While the commission structure is transparent, these rates are not the most competitive and may impact overall profitability, especially for those trading actively or internationally. In summary, while Akatsuki’s regulation and establishment are positives, I would advise any trader to carefully consider the narrow product range and higher commission fees before proceeding. For me, caution is warranted, and I would seek out further details directly from the broker to ensure all costs and instrument limitations fit my individual strategy and expectations.
