In my experience as a trader reviewing Shin’s offering, I have to be very clear about their available market instruments. Based on their official disclosures, Shin primarily serves as a Japanese securities firm with a focus on stocks, investment trusts, and bonds. I did not find any indication or listing of Forex pairs—such as XAU/USD (gold) or crude oil—as available trading assets on their platform. Their product range is concentrated on traditional financial securities rather than the broader spectrum often seen with global CFD or multi-asset brokers. In practical terms, this means that anyone seeking exposure to commodities like gold or oil through Shin will likely be disappointed. The absence of ETFs, commodity derivatives, or international market access further confirms this limitation. The broker also openly acknowledges a limited coverage of overseas markets and a lack of an online trading platform, which for me, restricts efficient access to such tradable instruments in real-time. Because Shin is regulated by the Japanese FSA, I trust its legitimacy for standard domestic securities activities, but as a cautious and methodical trader, I cannot recommend them for those wishing to trade XAU/USD or commodities like crude oil. Investors with a commodity focus should, in my opinion, seek out brokers with explicit offerings and regulatory clarity in those asset classes.
