About Monex

Monex Group was founded in 1999 in Tokyo and has evolved into an internationally operating financial group. The Monex Group encompasses brokerage services in Japan, the US (via TradeStation), and cryptocurrency trading through Coincheck. The Japanese subsidiary is regulated by FSA Japan and is one of the most established online brokers in the country. Monex stands out for its access to global markets: alongside Japanese stocks, users can also trade US and Chinese stocks, with US stock trading being commission-free. Through its crypto subsidiary Coincheck, Monex also provides access to the crypto market. The TradeStation platform is available for advanced technical analysis.
