TraditionData launches Japanese retail FX flow data – e-Forex

TraditionData, the market data division of Tradition, has launched a new Japanese retail FX flow data product, providing market participants with unique, highfrequency insight into retail FX positioning and carry trade sentiment, sourced directly from one of Japan’s largest and most established retail FX brokers, Gaitame. The dataset delivers hourly and endofday aggregated flow and positioning data across 29 major currency pairs, offering visibility into how Japanese retail traders are building, closing, and holding FX positions. This includes detailed insight into JPY crosses and nonJPY pairs, enabling users to observe evolving retail behaviour patterns that are not visible through interbank flow, pricebased signals, or traditional positioning reports.

Japanese retail FX traders represent a distinct and highly active participant group, particularly in the carry trade, where investors borrow in lowyielding currencies such as JPY and invest in higheryielding alternatives. By capturing real trading activity from this regulated retail venue, the data highlights shifts in carry trade sentiment that continue to play a meaningful role in global FX markets. The Japanese retail FX flow data is distributed by TraditionData and sourced directly from Gaitame, ensuring the dataset reflects real, observable trading behaviour from a regulated Japanese entity. The product is available immediately, with sample data available upon request. For more information visit traditiondata.com
