On the TV you can find those Japaneses guys checking the rates on the stocks like mad...So I was pretty surprised when I saw that there are not many Japaneses present on online marketing forums...Besides - Japaneses are digitalized from the heels to the head.

On the other hand many Chinese are around and try to earn online. Well, I can understand this, but can someone tell where are Japaneses?

Surprisingly people in Japan are not the heaviest computer users in Asia. As a matter of fact the ratio of internet users compared to many Asian countries is low. Also, while many Chinese citiizens are english educated most Japanese do not speak english. This creates a huge barrier in terms of internet business or communications as it restricts Japanese people from focusing only in the Japanese market.

 

Our business culture is designed as such that we focus more on human to human relationship instead of the actual content of the business. You may have noticed that Japanese companies are tied together by a term called "keiretsu". The idea of family and teamwork is more valued than a one man show. This creates problems for people who are very skilled at what they do and choose to do things on their own. Possibly one of the greatest reason why I chose to go my own path.

Oops, it seems like I found one...

 

There are many non-logical things when comes to Japaneses. One of the top wealthy countries, but I never considered them as wealthy persons. I mean - O.K. I see them in my little Europe country often during the summer, but they look like they are busy all the time, in hurry...

There are many Indians online, they are good in English.

There are few Italians here, they are bad at languages, didn't really considered that this is reflected so much in online presence.

 

...

There is one term used in Europe: Far east. But it seems it is not so unique region...

There is a reason Japan became a top economical country ever since its destruction in World War 2. The people of Japan are hard workers. Most companies will force you to work overtime without extra pay. Unfortunately the people of my generation are not as hard working as our ancestors.

 

Another deception in Japan is that we are perceived as a wealthy country. Yes, the country is not considered poor. But we do not have the tremendous gap between the rich and the poor like most countries do. Most of the people in Japan are stuck in the middle range. They are able to purchase a home on a 30 year loan but need to work until 62-65 until they can collect benefits. This is the typical life of the Japanese "salary man".

 

The tax and legal laws of Japan are made so that people remain equal. If you are looking for the American Dream in Japan... I suggest one take his chance in the US. The only way to make it big in this country is by running your own show.

      Cryptos Too Slow. Can’t Scale, Too Hard?

      By RJo · Posted

      I'm still a dove regarding crypto trading. Not because of the instruments traded, but because of the lack of market centralization. It reminds me of the early days of forex trading where no broker-dealers offered trade clearing via the interbank market. This is basically betting against "the house" which is its own captive market-maker, has its own one-off price feed, and has its own one-off trade execution policies. As a side note, I always opt out of broker-dealers' arbitration clauses within 30 days of account opening pursuant to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. Unscrupulous broker-dealers and platform sellers don't even provide opt-out terms in their trading/subscription agreements, but it still exists pursuant to federal statutes and federal court precedent. Sierra Chart also collects unspent platform subscription deposits from traders in their website's online "wallet." This subjects them not only to FINRA liability but CFPB liability as well. I figuratively atom bombed Sierra Chart with this info and they refunded all platform fees and data fees that I ever paid to them before I closed my Sierra Chart account. On a more general note, virtually all broker-dealers are either partnered with, or straight up are, Wall Street investment banks and hedge funds. These are the folks that refer to retail traders as "cannon fodder" and "fish food." To me, any broker-dealer is nothing more than a counterparty to a series of my transactions. If I find any reason not to trust a broker-dealer, I'm out. Crypto trading, as it presently exists, fits the bill. Crypto owning/investment might be a different story, but I'm strictly a trader.

      Considerations for a Wannabe Trader...

      By RJo · Posted

      Consider this... While a human trader has emotions, a bot does not. All a human trader needs to do to code a statistically profitable strategy on a good emotional day. And it can be coded for any timeframe, intraday or overnights.

      7 Trading Truths You May Not Know

      Well said. Broker-dealers that aren't connected to centralized exchanges or the prime interbank exchanges are, in fact, casinos--where nothing extends beyond "the house."

      Forex Trading Tricks

      By RJo · Posted

      My latest trick... After successfully live trading forex for years, switch to trading futures in the U.S. Chicago Mercantile Exchanges. Futures spreads are generally 1 or 2 ticks with no swaps, and data fees and commission fees are fixed. As a caveat, leverage changes throughout every day based on international sessions, so this is not for small accounts.
