FXTF has become the first Japanese-licensed broker to integrate trading capabilities with TradingView’s charting platform, marking a notable shift in a market dominated by proprietary systems. The Tokyo-based broker, operating under Goldenway Japan with a Financial Services Agency license, now allows its 280,000 clients to execute trades on 29 forex pairs plus commodity and crypto CFDs directly from TradingView charts without switching platforms.
The move is significant because Japan’s retail forex market, one of the world’s largest, has historically relied on in-house trading software. Major players like DMM Securities and GMO Click, which process trillions in monthly volume, have shown little interest in third-party platforms. FXTF, positioned at the smaller end of the market and already offering MetaTrader 4, is now leveraging TradingView’s popular charting interface to compete with larger rivals’ proprietary systems.
This integration continues TradingView’s broker expansion following deals with CMC Markets, tastyfx, and IC Markets, though FXTF’s connection specifically targets Japanese residents requiring JFSA-regulated access.
