Based on my thorough review of NOMURA and drawing from my experience in the forex industry, I must take a conservative approach when considering the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated trading with this broker. NOMURA primarily offers its own self-developed mobile trading apps, such as the Nomura Asset Management App, OneStock, and Nomura FX App, which are well-suited for account management and manual FX trading. From what I observed, there is no explicit support or mention of third-party platforms like MetaTrader 4 or 5—popular choices for running EAs—in NOMURA’s current offering. The focus of NOMURA appears to be on providing a secure, regulated environment for Japanese clients, emphasizing a degree of risk control, robust in-house platforms, and service to both retail and institutional investors. While these factors can instill confidence in the broker’s overall legitimacy and risk management, they also suggest a limited degree of platform flexibility. In my experience, proprietary apps rarely support the kind of custom script or automated strategy deployment that EAs require. Given these factors, I would advise anyone seeking to use EAs with NOMURA to proceed with caution. Unless official support for MetaTrader or a comparable desktop platform is confirmed directly by the broker, it would be prudent to assume that Expert Advisors are not currently an option here. As always, verifying platform capabilities and restrictions with NOMURA’s customer support before committing any strategy is essential for minimizing unexpected issues in live trading.
