Gaitame.com operates four distinct trading services: discretionary FX, recurring FX purchases, CFDs and currency binary options. They share My Page account administration, but their instruments, position units and liquidation rules differ. A balance sitting in one ledger should not be treated as collateral for another.[2][32]

Nextneo: trading units and margin
Sections ↑At a glance03
A Nextneo lot has a specific size
| Measure | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Instrument count | 42 listed FX pairs; RUB/JPY orders have been suspended since 23 March 2022.Source 6 |
| Most pairs | 1 lot = 1,000 base-currency units; minimum order 1 lot.Source 7 |
| HUF/JPY and listed RUB/JPY | 1 lot = 10,000 base units. The RUB listing does not restore order availability.Source 7 |
| Maximum single order | 5,000 lots, subject to the separate large-order execution rules.Source 6 |
| Open position count | 2,000 positions across the account, regardless of lot total.Source 6 |
At a glance04
Margin is recalculated under a schedule
| Client / rule | How it works |
|---|---|
| Retail | At least 4% of reference notional; maximum headline leverage 25:1. Per-lot required amounts round upward to the next JPY 10.Source 7 |
| Reference price | Highest closing rate from the preceding-but-one Thursday through the current Wednesday; the following week’s amount is announced Thursday and applies after Saturday maintenance.Source 6 |
| Corporate | Pair-specific FFAJ risk ratios, with a 1% floor. The published special cases include CZK/JPY at 4% and suspended RUB/JPY at 100%.Source 7 |
| Opposing positions | The MAX method uses the larger long or short exposure for the same pair when calculating required margin.Source 7 |

Nextneo: liquidation and execution
Sections ↑Protections & eligibility06
Retail closeout levels and timing
| Trigger / setting | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Normal setting | Select 50–100% effective ratio in 10-point steps; the initial setting is 100%. Falling below the chosen level triggers liquidation of all positions.Source 8 |
| Final hour before the daily trading close | A ratio below 100% triggers liquidation regardless of the lower selected setting.Source 8 |
| Ratio below 100% | New orders, order changes and outgoing internal transfers are restricted.Source 8 |
| Changing the threshold with positions or orders open | The threshold can be lowered, but cannot be raised until positions and pending orders are removed.Source 8 |
| Deficit after liquidation | Repay by 15:00 JST on the second business day after the deficit arises.Source 8 |
The effective ratio is effective account value divided by required margin. Liquidation is not a guarantee of the threshold price: gaps and execution delays can leave a debt. The trading overview describes normal checks every five to ten seconds.[6]
At a glance07
Order handling that affects the actual fill
| Feature | Published behaviour |
|---|---|
| Market/streaming order tolerance | Favourable slippage can execute beyond the selected tolerance; unfavourable slippage is subject to the tolerance.Source 11 |
| Larger market orders | The large-spread schedule can apply to qualifying sizes; aggregated closing orders can meet the threshold.Source 11 |
| Larger stops and trailing orders | Direct Cover seeks a covering institution able to take the size at the best available quote. Its fill may differ from smaller orders.Source 11 |
| Thin liquidity or announcements | The broker may temporarily change execution-size thresholds; its stated execution conditions are not an unconditional fill promise.Source 11 |
At a glance08
Trading controls and conduct
| Control | Practical rule |
|---|---|
| Available instructions | Market, streaming, limit, stop, OCO, IFD, IFO, trailing and specified-time orders.Source 6 |
| Hedging setting | Enable separately in each tool. With hedging disabled, an opposite order can close an existing position; one-click settings have their own restriction.Source 6 |
| Restricted conduct | The published examples concern activity that materially harms other customers, systems or covering arrangements, including repeated large orders and certain external tools.Source 13 |
| Payment reviews | The terms permit temporary withdrawal holds for reasonably suspected unlawful, sanctions-related or financial-crime activity, with additional identification checks.Source 13 |
Nextneo: spreads, swaps and trading hours
Sections ↑Nextneo online dealing commission is JPY 0. Its material trading costs are the bid/ask spread and applicable overnight swaps.[9]

Swap accrual and access to the cash
| Operation | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Rollover | Swap-day allocation follows movement of interbank settlement dates; holidays can change the number of days credited or charged.Source 14 |
| While a position remains open | Swaps affect valuation before they are realised through closing or the swap-transfer function.Source 14 |
| Nextneo swap transfer | Transfer the selected position’s entire accumulated swap into account cash without closing the FX position; no transfer fee.Source 15 |
| Withdrawal and tax consequence | Transferred swaps are realised income. A transfer does not override insufficient available withdrawal balance.Source 15 |

Rakutsumu: scheduled purchases and accumulation
Sections ↑Account comparison12
Accumulation purchase instructions
| Term | Published setting |
|---|---|
| Pairs | Ten listed yen crosses; RUB/JPY order acceptance remains suspended.Source 16 |
| Individual leverage | 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1; corporate accounts use 1:1.Source 16 |
| Purchase instruction size | Currency instructions start at one unit; yen instructions start at JPY 100 in JPY 1 steps and must represent at least one currency unit.Source 16 |
| Recurring schedule | Daily, weekly Wednesday or monthly on the 26th; processing starts at 11:30 JST, shifting to the next broker business day when necessary.Source 16 |
| Cutoff and limits | Instructions by 11:30 apply that day; later changes apply next business day. Single order maximum 1 million units; aggregate holdings 50 million units.Source 16 |
Protections & eligibility13
Accumulation has a different risk threshold
At a glance14
Automatic use of accumulated swaps
| Setting | Amount threshold | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic cash transfer | JPY 1,000–999,999 | Transfers all whole-yen accrued swaps into the accumulation account once the threshold is met.Source 18 |
| Automatic reinvestment | JPY 100–999,999 and enough for at least one currency unit | Purchases the same currency at the same leverage using whole-yen accrued swaps.Source 18 |
| Mutually exclusive settings | One mode per selected position | Processing begins at 11:30 JST on business days; fractional swap amounts remain accrued.Source 18 |
At a glance15
FX Points are not unused cash collateral
| Point treatment | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Unused points | Excluded from asset total, effective value and effective ratio. They cannot simply be applied to cure an existing margin shortage.Source 19 |
| Buying with points | The broker includes points in its purchase eligibility test and consumes them for required margin; the resulting spread loss can immediately push the ordinary effective ratio below 100%.Source 19 |

CFD dealing and forced-close fees
| Charge / limit | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Online dealing commission | JPY 0; bid/ask spreads still apply.Source 20 |
| Single-order limit | 200 trading units; identical instrument, price, direction and limit/stop execution conditions cannot be used to bypass that cap.Source 20 |
| Forced liquidation: indices and commodities | JPY 110 including tax per trading unit closed.Source 22 |
| Forced liquidation: shares | JPY 55 including tax per trading unit closed.Source 22 |
| Ordinary customer stop or manual exit | The forced-liquidation fee does not apply to the customer’s own stop-loss closure.Source 22 |
Protections & eligibility19
CFD liquidation applies within each category
| Condition | Published procedure |
|---|---|
| Effective ratio falls below 100% | Liquidates all positions in the affected category account; other categories are assessed separately.Source 23 |
| A price is unavailable for an affected position | Closure waits for a valid quote; subsequent ratio recovery does not cancel the triggered liquidation.Source 23 |
| Advance warnings | Pre-alert below 200%, alert below 120%; normal checks occur roughly every 5–20 seconds.Source 23 |
Pricing & charges20
CFD overnight and corporate-action adjustments
| Adjustment | Basis |
|---|---|
| Financing | Positions held at the trading-day close receive or pay the published adjustment, reflecting covering costs, interbank interest and applicable share-borrow costs.Source 24 |
| Accrual precision | Amounts are per trading unit; both buy and sell positions can be charged. The daily schedule controls the applicable number of days.Source 24 |
| Dividend/corporate-action adjustment | Eligible long positions receive and short positions pay the specified adjustment; these are derivative cash adjustments.Source 25 |
| US share-related receipts | The broker deducts a 10% US withholding-tax equivalent from receipts; it does not make the same deduction from amounts payable.Source 25 |
Next Binary: payout and early exit
Sections ↑At a glance21
Currency binary contract terms
| Item | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Available reference pairs | USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, EUR/USD, AUD/JPY and GBP/JPY; listed TRY/JPY rounds remain suspended.Source 26 |
| Contract outcome | JPY 1,000 payout per winning lot; the option premium is paid in full. New positions are purchases, with no uncovered option writing.Source 26 |
| Round structure | Ten two-hour rounds, Monday–Friday 08:20–next day 04:20 JST; buying/selling stops two minutes before each determination.Source 26 |
| Early sale | Sell only a complete purchase ticket; a ticket cannot be partially sold or split.Source 26 |
| Trading charge | No separate dealing commission, but the buy and early-sale prices differ.Source 26 |
At a glance22
Binary limits and additional checks
| Control | Practical effect |
|---|---|
| Knowledge test | A passing score is required; unsuccessful applicants cannot retake the test on the same day.Source 27 |
| Order and account limits | A purchase order is capped at 200 lots or the lower individual round-holding limit. Limits depend on declared resources and assessed circumstances.Source 27 |
| Annual loss control | The stated annual loss limit generates an 80% warning and a stop on new trades for the rest of the year after the limit is exceeded.Source 27 |
| Daily purchase control | JPY 10 million purchase limit; an 80% warning and subsequent-round restrictions apply under the published process.Source 27 |
| Maximum contract loss | Limited to the premium paid for the purchased option; this is why there is no margin call or FX-style loss-cut mechanism.Source 27 |

Bank-funding methods
| Method | Minimum / charge | Processing and identity |

Protections & eligibility28
How the broker describes client-asset safeguards
| Product | Arrangement and limits |
|---|---|
| FX trust | Safety Next separates client assets into named bank trusts, including unrealised P&L and swaps. Trust coverage has a funding/reconciliation interval.Source 37 |
| Failure of the broker | An external beneficiary representative distributes available trust assets after liquidation and relevant costs; clients cannot demand direct payment from a trustee bank.Source 37 |
| CFDs | Securities CFDs and commodity CFDs use distinct trust structures at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. This is asset segregation, not a promise that trading losses are reimbursed.Source 38 |
For Japanese individual FX taxation, the broker’s disclosure describes separate assessment of qualifying realised trading and swap income, with loss offset/carry-forward subject to the stated conditions. Swap transfer can realise income even while the currency position remains open; withdrawal to a bank is a separate event.[9][15]
