From my direct assessment and experience with Ando Securities, I can say that trading assets such as Gold (XAU/USD) and Crude Oil is not possible with this broker. The range of products offered through Ando Securities is clearly defined by their regulatory documents and service outlines: they focus on traditional financial instruments, notably Japanese stocks, investment trusts, bonds, futures/options, and insurance. I have not encountered any mention of commodities like gold or crude oil—let alone forex derivatives such as XAU/USD—within their core product suite. My cautious approach as a trader stresses the importance of verifying asset availability directly via a broker’s official channels, especially when dealing with YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) financial decisions. In this case, the information regarding Ando Securities’ offerings is straightforward: they do not list commodities or forex pairs as available markets. This aligns with the company’s apparent focus on serving Japanese retail investors seeking exposure mainly to securities and related instruments on domestic markets—not global commodity trading. Moreover, I find the lack of access to such commodity products limits the broker’s utility for traders like me who require broad asset classes—including popular pairs like XAU/USD and energies such as crude oil. For those whose strategies or portfolios depend on direct gold or oil exposure, I would advise considering brokers whose regulations and platforms clearly support these products. Always conduct further due diligence; scopes of business can change, but my current understanding based on Ando Securities’ regulated and public information is that commodities like gold and crude oil are simply unavailable here.
