In my experience, evaluating swap fees is a critical aspect when considering any forex broker, especially for holding overnight positions. With Ichiyoshi Securities, it's important to note that while the firm holds a legitimate retail forex license and is regulated by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA), detailed information about their specific fee or swap structure is not readily accessible or clearly outlined. This lack of transparency stands out—many brokers in the market offer explicit tables for swap rates or overnight financing costs, allowing for easier comparison. What gives me some confidence is the level of regulation Ichiyoshi Securities operates under and their longstanding presence in the Japanese market. These factors generally promote fair pricing and ethical business conduct. However, the absence of clear information on swap fees limits my ability to directly compare their overnight costs with those from global brokers well-known for transparent swap disclosures. For me, the priority is always to work with brokers who offer not just regulatory security but also clarity around costs. If someone plans to trade overnight or hold leveraged forex positions frequently, I would advise contacting Ichiyoshi Securities directly for a full breakdown of all relevant fees, including swaps, and cross-checking this information with competing brokers. Without doing so, it would be hard to make an informed, risk-averse decision regarding the costs of overnight trading at Ichiyoshi Securities.
