OANDA Japan updates position limits for Tokyo, NY servers
OANDA Japan adjusts FX position limits for risk control.
OANDA Securities, the Japanese subsidiary of the global online brokerage OANDA Corporation, has announced changes to the maximum open interest volumes for select currency pairs on its Tokyo Server Standard Plan and New York Server.
These modifications, set to take effect on March 10, 2025, are a response to current market conditions and are aimed at optimizing liquidity management while reducing risks for traders.
Key adjustments to open position limits
Under the new policy, OANDA will lower the maximum open position limits for several major currency pairs, impacting both Tokyo and New York servers.
Some of the most significant changes include:
USD/JPY: from 30 million to 20 million yen
EUR/JPY: from 30 million to 20 million yen
AUD/JPY: from 45 million to 30 million yen
GBP/JPY: from 25 million to 15 million yen
NZD/JPY: from 50 million to 30 million yen
CAD/JPY: from 40 million to 25 million yen
Additionally, the company noted that other currency pairs will also be affected. Clients can check the full list of adjustments on OANDA Securities’ official website.
Changes to position limits on New York and Tokyo servers
The broker has also revised position limits on the New York and Tokyo servers, lowering the threshold for total market capitalization, at which new orders will no longer be accepted.
New York Server:
New limit: USD 30 million in total market capitalization across all open positions on fxTrade accounts.
Previous limit: USD 60 million before restrictions were applied.
Tokyo Server:
New limit: USD 30 million per trading account in total market capitalization.
Previous limit: USD 60 million before restrictions were applied.
If traders exceed these new limits as of March 7, 2025, only position settlement will be allowed, and no new trades will be accepted until the open interest volume is reduced to the new threshold.
Commitment to a stable trading environment
OANDA Securities has urged clients to review their open positions and ensure they comply with the new limits before the implementation date. The broker remains committed to maintaining a stable and efficient trading environment and has assured traders that it will continue refining its policies in response to evolving market conditions.
