Summary
Our Japanese retail FX flow data provides detailed hourly breakdowns of aggregated flow and positioning from one of Japan’s oldest and most established retail FX venues, Gaitame.
Covering 29 currency pairs, this data provides hourly or end of day visibility into how retail spot FX traders are positioning themselves, as well as trends for the ‘carry trade’ strategy – borrowing in a low-interest currency and investing in a higher-interest one to profit from the interest rate differential.
Access to historical data since February 2015 also enables trading professionals to backtest strategies and validate their effectiveness, reducing risk and improving confidence in execution.
