As an experienced trader who frequently evaluates brokers, one thing I pay close attention to is fee transparency—especially concerning inactivity fees, since these can significantly impact long-term traders or investors who prefer to hold positions. Based on my review of the available information for Ichiyoshi Securities, I could not find any expressly stated details regarding inactivity fees in their public documentation. The WikiFX listing does note an “unclear fee structure” as a con, which, for me, means the absence of clarity around all account-related costs, including any fees that might be charged due to account inactivity. Because Ichiyoshi Securities is a long-established, FSA-regulated broker in Japan, I would expect them to adhere to local regulatory standards, which generally require transparent customer communications. However, without explicit confirmation in their materials, I cannot definitively state whether inactivity fees are charged or under what exact circumstances they might apply. In situations like this, I personally take a conservative stance: before opening any account or leaving funds dormant, I would directly contact their customer support and explicitly request a written outline of all possible fees, so I can make a fully informed decision. Given the limited contact channels reported, this process might take some persistence. In my experience, caution is always advisable—unexpected fees can erode profits or even turn a passive position into a liability. For anyone considering Ichiyoshi Securities, I strongly recommend obtaining written clarification on inactivity and other account maintenance fees before proceeding.
