Commenting to our reporters, Spotware’s Managing Director, Ilya Holeu, shared, “Our company is currently quite active in Japan, we already have an office in Tokyo, and we feel that cTrader has already gained popularity with Japanese traders, judging by usage statistics.”
When we asked Mr. Holeu whether there is a specific market in which the company has particularly strong positions, he stated that the company is rather geographically diverse, adding, “We have clients who are physically based and regulated either by the local regulator or by the respective Central Bank (in the case of Russia, where we have banks as our clients). Aside from Japan, we have clients in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Russia, a multitude of EU countries and the USA.”

So what is the popular algo platforms in japan now? I hear mt4 isn’t as popular there.
@Jon – I haven’t investigated this recently to know if this continues to be the case, but as of last year, two important reasons MT4 doesn’t do well in Japan is a lack of Japanese language help/tutorials and regulatory issues related to how their back office creates reports. MQ is active in Asia, just no in Japan.
