Choose a stock. Check its conditions.
Select Japanese stocks on the market screen and find a company by name or symbol. Available stocks, permitted quantities and trading units are shown on the relevant stock and order screens.
Price and update time
Check the quote timestamp and market status alongside the displayed price.
Before submitting
Review the direction, quantity, order type, estimated amount and available JPY balance.
Understand what makes a limit order eligible.
A buy limit requires a price at or below the limit; a sell limit requires a price at or above it. Execution also depends on market hours, a valid quote and other execution conditions. A matching displayed price does not guarantee an immediate fill.
Pending orders
Check pending orders in the holdings section. Orders eligible for cancellation can be cancelled from their order screen.
After execution
Review the quantity, acquisition price, market value and cash record. Distinguish an estimate from the final transaction record.
Zero trading commission. Check other conditions separately.
Self-directed Japanese stock trades carry no stock trading commission. Currency conversion, deposits, withdrawals and other services have separate conditions; check the relevant information and confirmation screen. Stock price changes can result in losses.
