GMO Click Securities is a Tokyo based forex and CFD broker, founded in 2005 as part of GMO Internet Group, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under code 9449. It is a Financial Instruments Business Operator regulated through Japan's Kanto Local Finance Bureau, and belongs to the Financial Futures Association of Japan.
GMO Click has posted the world's highest annual FX trading volume in several recent years, built on tight spreads near 0.2 pips on USD/JPY, and a low entry deposit near 10,000 yen. Japan's rules cap retail leverage at 1:25, below levels offered elsewhere. The broker only accepts residents of Japan, not clients funding from abroad.
In 2012, the Kanto Local Finance Bureau issued a business improvement order against GMO Click, after finding weak controls over its handling of electronic information. The firm accepted the order and reported back on its fixes. It remains one of Japan's largest retail brokers today, worth knowing before you judge its systems as flawless.
