MarketSpeed II is a professional-grade trading tool provided free by Rakuten Securities. It covers a wide range of products from domestic stocks to US stocks, futures, and options, and it's truly wonderful that active traders can use advanced features like algo orders and the 'Musashi' order board tool for free. It offers abundant technical charts and comprehensive investment information. Its appeal lies in its versatility, suitable for everyone from beginners to professionals.
BooLab Reviewer Negative Reviews
The abundance of features provided free is commendable, but cost-effectiveness assumes a 'usable state.' Bugs after forced updates and frequent connection drops lead to lost trading opportunities. Crashes after order execution with hours-long login failures represent significant financial damage as opportunity costs. From the perspective that stability is the most critical function of a trading tool, there's substantial room for improvement.
In trading tools, I consider visual impact and operational rhythm to be important artistic elements. However, slow display switching and forced changes from real-time to 1-second intervals are fatal flaws that disrupt a trader's rhythm. Complaints about chart displays being harder to read compared to iSPEED indicate issues with visual design completion.
Software quality is measured by long-term reliability. DLL file errors with no information on the official page and no resolution from support are evidence of problems in quality control systems. Bugs causing immediate forced termination after login for two consecutive days speak to inadequate testing processes. The point that bugs during real-time trading are unacceptable is a warning that quality standards need review.
Considering daily trading life, automatic disconnection after 25 minutes of inactivity is subtly stressful. You need time to observe charts and make decisions, yet frequent reconnection requests disrupt concentration. The difficulty of use on connections like Rakuten Mobile doesn't fit modern mobile lifestyles. The voice saying the iSPEED smartphone app is more user-friendly represents field feedback that PC version usability needs improvement.
Negative Review Summary

Dr. Bravo
Summarizing the analysis from our four Boo analysts, while MarketSpeed II excels in functionality, there's a clear trend of technical stability issues. Connection instability, bugs after forced updates, and sluggish performance are particularly notable. Troubles during real-time trading are critical for investors, so these aren't problems we can overlook. There are also complaints about PC version usability compared to the iSPEED smartphone app.

A Different Perspective

Dr. Bravo
But let's think about this differently. Precisely because they're providing such a feature-rich tool for free, development resources may be limited. The high number of bug reports is also evidence that many users are actively using the platform. With a stable internet environment, waiting a bit after updates, and using supplementary tools, you can obtain a sophisticated trading environment for free.
