In my experience as an independent trader, testing a broker usually means finding clear information about their spreads and how they behave during volatile periods. With Akatsuki, I found that transparency about critical trading conditions is lacking, especially concerning whether the spreads offered are fixed or variable. According to what I was able to verify, Akatsuki has a physical office in Japan and operates under the regulation of the Japanese FSA, suggesting a measure of legitimacy and oversight. However, neither their official communications nor available summaries provide precise details about the structure of their spreads. What I can share from the limited user feedback is that traders have described Akatsuki’s spreads as “quite narrow” in general. This points to potentially competitive pricing under normal circumstances, but it’s essential to note that the leverage offered seems quite conservative, which may also impact trading strategies around news events. During major market volatility or news releases, most brokers—especially those offering variable spreads—typically see spreads widen to manage risk. With no detailed disclosure from Akatsuki, I would be cautious and assume that spreads may not remain tight during such periods. For me, the unclear nature of their spread policies means I would approach high-impact news trading with care on this platform and consider confirming specific conditions directly with customer support before committing significant capital. Transparency on these points is crucial for informed decision-making.
