OANDA Japan Stops fxTrade Desktop Download, Changes USD/JPY Margin Rate

<p>OANDA Securities, the Japanese subsidiary of longstanding online forex and CFD
brokerage company, OANDA Corporation, stopped new downloads of the desktop
version of its fxTrade <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/terms/t/trading-platform/" class="terms__main-term" id="f85800b2-ccf5-4f50-9e8e-780d32afc6f6" target="_blank">trading platform</a> on Friday. The subsidiary also
announced a change in the margin rate of the USD/JPY currency pair for
corporate accounts. </p><p>"From now on, fxTrade can be used in web browser, mobile app and tablet versions," the broker said in <a href="https://www.oanda.jp/info/984" target="_blank" rel="follow">an update</a> published in Japanese
on its website. Furthermore, OANDA Securities noted that its customers who have already downloaded the desktop version of fxTrade can continue to use the software.</p><p>Additionally, the broker noted that its traders can still access fxTrade from the desktop version of TradingView, a charting, analytics
and social networking platform that <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/products/oanda-integrates-tradingview-charts-into-fxtrade-platform/" target="_blank" rel="follow">was integrated into fxTrade</a> in March 2016.</p><p>Watch this FMLS22 session on what CFDs traders look out for when selecting their brokers.</p><p>OANDA Changes USD/JPY Margin Rate</p><p>Meanwhile, the OANDA subsidiary put the new margin rate of the USD/JPY
currency pair at 2.2%, an 0.2% increase from the previous 2%. This new rate will be implemented starting January 30, 2023, the broker said, adding that the change only affects corporate
accounts on its Tokyo and New York servers.</p><p>"Customers holding positions in the corresponding currency pair will be subject to a loss cut due to changes in the margin rate  if they continue to hold positions after the market closes on January 27, 2023. We recommend that you reduce your position in advance or have enough money in your account," OANDA Securities
said in <a href="https://www.oanda.jp/info/985" target="_blank" rel="follow">a
different update</a> also published on Friday.</p><p>The change in the USD/JPY margin rate comes over one month after the
Japanese subsidiary <a href="https://www.oanda.jp/info/963" target="_blank" rel="follow">increased
the margin rates</a> for the currency pairs NZD/USD and AUD/USD to 3%
respectively. Both currency pairs previously had a 2% margin rate. Again, the
rate increase only applied to corporate accounts on the Tokyo and New York servers.</p><p>In addition, OANDA Securities last year also enforced new margin rates for the <a href="https://www.oanda.jp/info/949" target="_blank" rel="follow">USD/SEK</a>, <a href="https://www.oanda.jp/info/945" target="_blank" rel="follow">GBP/USD
and GBP/JPY</a> currency pairs. Like the others, these rate increases were only applied to corporate accounts on the
broker's Tokyo and New York servers.</p><p>In a different development, in October last year OANDA unveiled a new brand identity and <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/broker-oanda-rebrands-launches-crypto-trading-service-in-us-market/" target="_blank" rel="follow">launched crypto trading in the US </a>in partnership with
Paxos, a regulated blockchain infrastructure company.</p>
