JustMarkets Review 2026

Trust

JustMarkets Regulators

When reviewing brokers, we examine the licenses held by each of their entities to determine how effectively they protect clients. We use a simple three-tier system to rank regulatory bodies, with Tier 1 being the most trusted and offering the highest level of protection.

This is what I discovered about the five entities operating under the JustMarkets trade name:

• Just Global Markets Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of the Seychelles under license number SD088. We rate the FSA as a Tier-3 regulator.
• JustMarkets Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under license number 401/21. We rate CySEC as a Tier-1 regulator.
• Just Global Markets (Pty) Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa under license number 51114. We rate the FSCA as a Tier-2 regulator.
• Just Global Markets (MU) Limited is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius under license number GB22200881. We rate the FSC as a Tier-3 regulator.
• Just Global Markets (VG) Limited is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands (BVIFSC) under license number SIBA/L/24/1177. We rate the BVIFSC as a Tier-3 regulator.

How JustMarkets Protects You

Brokers operate multiple entities globally, but regulatory protections vary. Some regulators enforce stricter financial standards than others, so traders should understand the safety measures of the entity with which they choose to open an account.

Here is how JustMarkets protects you:

✅ Compensation scheme – In case of insolvency, the Financial Commission will reimburse your funds up to EUR 20,000 (only for European clients).

✅ Negative balance protection – Your losses cannot exceed your invested capital.

✅ Segregated accounts – Your funds are kept in separate accounts from the company’s own capital.

Stability and Transparency

In our Trust category, we assess how stable and transparent a broker is. This includes how long they’ve been in business, the size of the company, and how openly they share critical information.

According to JustMarkets LinkedIn page, the company was established 13 years ago and employs 280+ professionals globally, attesting to its longevity and stability.

I also reviewed JustMarkets legal documents and determined everything was in order. All relevant information is readily available and written in an easy-to-understand way.

Is JustMarkets Safe?

I concluded that JustMarkets can be considered safe due to the following factors:

• Licensed and regulated in multiple jurisdictions
• Client money is protected from the broker’s credit risk
• No risk to retail traders from incurring a negative balance.

Fees

JustMarkets Trading Fees

JustMarkets Spreads

I tested JustMarkets’ spreads on 11 July 2025 during the London and New York opens. The results are shown in the table below:

JustMarkets offers really competitive costs on forex and some popular markets, with spreads on pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/JPY far tighter than the industry average.

The same applies to shares, with the recorded prices of Apple and Tesla stocks coming in considerably below the industry average. Gold, Dow Jones 30, and Bitcoin were also priced competitively during my test. Only spreads I captured on the Germany 40 (DAX) were higher than the benchmark.

JustMarkets Swaps

A swap fee is a trader’s cost for holding an open position overnight because of changing interest rates. Swap long refers to the charge deductible or credit receivable for holding a buy position open overnight. In turn, swap short relates to the charges/credits deductible or receivable for holding a selling position open overnight.

The values listed below are for one full base currency contract (100,000 units).

I learned that JustMarkets offers swap-free trading across most asset classes without the need to open an Islamic account. The service extends to popular instruments, such as EURUSD, GBPJPY, and XAUUSD. Some exceptions may apply, such as Brent Oil. Further information is available on JustMarkets’ contracts specs page.

JustMarkets Non-Trading Fees

JustMarkets does not charge a handling fee on deposits or withdrawals, though third-party processing fees may apply. The broker does, however, charge a $5 inactivity fee after 150 calendar days of dormancy. The fee is charged monthly until activity resumes or the account balance drops to zero.

Are JustMarkets Fees Competitive?

I concluded that JustMarkets fees are quite competitive overall. Since my last review over a year ago, the broker has drastically lowered its spreads on most asset classes and introduced swap-free trading. The only non-trading cost is a small inactivity fee of $5.

Platforms and tools

MetaTrader 5 Desktop

I tested the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) desktop platform and found it relatively easy to navigate. The main dashboard is intuitive, with charts, order types, and trading instruments located in familiar places. Even first-time users can pick up the basics without much effort.

However, one thing stood out: the platform design feels a bit outdated. Compared to more modern trading platforms, MT5’s chart visuals are rugged and lack the sleek, polished look that many traders today prefer.

Availability & Features

The MT5 platform by JustMarkets is available for Windows and Mac users and supports 52 languages, including English, Spanish, German, Arabic, and Chinese — making it accessible to traders around the globe.

MT5 features include:

• Price Alerts: Set alerts when an instrument hits a specific price — ideal for spotting trade entry opportunities.
• Customizable Watchlists: Easily track your favorite instruments.
• One-Click Trading: Enter trades instantly at market price — perfect for scalpers or fast-paced traders.
• Chart Trading: Place and manage orders directly from the chart, including entry points, volume, stop-loss, and take-profit levels.

In my view, MT5 really shines when it comes to automated trading. It supports Expert Advisors (EAs) and comes with an easy-to-use strategy tester, allowing algo traders to fine-tune their systems for different market conditions.

Charting & Analysis Tools

MT5 is loaded with analytical tools, including:

• 38 built-in technical indicators: From trend-following to oscillators and volume-based tools.
• 24 drawing tools: Including Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Waves, and more for technical pattern spotting.
• 21 timeframes: Great for multi-timeframe analysis — one of the largest offerings in the industry.
• 3 chart types: Line, bar, and candlestick options let traders view price action in their preferred format.

That said, the charts can get visually cluttered quite fast — even when only two indicators are active. This can make it harder to interpret price action clearly and may not be ideal for traders who rely heavily on clean, minimalistic chart setups.

Order Type

MT5 offers three execution modes and covers all the core order types needed by most traders:

• Market Orders: Instant execution at the best available price — ideal for quick entries
• Limit Orders: Target a specific price level for entry, though execution isn’t guaranteed.
• Stop Orders: Protect open positions with predefined risk levels. Stop-loss orders automatically convert into market orders once triggered.

MT5 Desktop: My Key Takeaways

MetaTrader 5 is a solid platform for fast and straightforward trading, particularly if you’re into algorithmic strategies or use EAs. It’s reliable, packed with tools, and supports detailed trade execution.

However, its interface feels dated compared to more modern alternatives like TradingView or cTrader. If you’re a trader who values sleek design and customizable charting, MT5 might feel a bit too rigid and visually overwhelming.

MT5 App

The MT5 mobile app is available on iOS and Android, enabling quick and easy access to the market on the go. It is very useful for opening, terminating, and adjusting open positions.

You can also use the app to place market, limit, and stop orders, as well as to adjust the exposure of your open trades.

MT5 App: My Key Takeaways

The MetaTrader app stands out for its convenience, making it an essential tool for adjusting trades, especially during periods of heightened volatility. However, I consider it cumbersome and not the best choice for analyzing price action.

JustMarkets Execution Model

JustMarkets operates as a Straight-Through-Processing (STP) broker without a dealing desk. Client orders are routed to the broker’s pool of liquidity providers, where they are filled at the best possible price.

Tradable instruments

Compared to the industry average, JustMarkets provides an average number of forex pairs, share CFDs, and indices, and a high number of commodities and cryptocurrencies.

What Are CFDs?

CFDs (Contracts for Difference) let you trade on the price movements of assets—like gold—without actually owning them.

For example, if you go long on gold and the price rises, you profit; if it falls, you lose—without ever buying real gold.

The biggest perk? You can jump in or out of the market quickly to take advantage of even the smallest price changes.

What CFDs Can You Trade With JustMarkets?

JustMarkets Instruments: My Key Takeaways

JustMarkets has a sufficient range of tradable instruments, though it lacks depth. There are no low-risk securities, such as ETFs or bonds. On the flipside, I appreciated that instruments like gold, silver, and Bitcoin are denominated in several base currencies – EUR, USD, and GBP.

Customer support

Customer Support Channels

Customer Support Test

When we test a broker’s customer support, we evaluate the agent’s knowledge of their own website, the time it takes them to respond to questions, and the level of detail in their answers.

I reached out to JustMarkets’ support via the chatbot on July 12 at 10:04 a.m. CET, inquiring about their copy trading services. The bot provided clear and helpful information on that topic.

However, when I asked more complex questions—like the maximum retail leverage on stocks—the bot struggled to deliver accurate answers, highlighting some limitations in its ability to handle detailed queries.

JustMarkets Account Types

I rate JustMarkets’ Standard account very affordable because it features no commissions, floating spreads from 0.3 pips, and a low deposit requirement of only $10.

In contrast, the Raw and Pro accounts, thanks to their price mechanisms, are better suited for high-volume traders. Lastly, the Standard Cent account is geared towards algo testing.

Demo Accounts

JustMarkets offers a demo account that lets traders explore the broker’s available platforms and test their strategies in a risk-free environment. Since markets are always changing, it’s important to keep your skills sharp without risking real money. You can open a demo account before or alongside your live CFD account.

Swap-Free (Islamic) Accounts

JustMarkets provides Islamic accounts for swap-free trading under Shariah Law. Please contact the broker for additional information.

What is CFD Leverage?

Leverage determines a trader’s overall market exposure. When trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs), positions can be opened for a fraction of their value because of leverage. Essentially, the broker lends the trader money so that they can open bigger positions. Leverage multiplies the profits a trader generates from winning positions, but also the losses incurred from failed trades.

What Leverage Does JustMarkets Offer?

In the table below, I have listed the maximum retail leverage available with Just Global Markets Ltd. for instruments from different asset classes:

JustMarkets Restricted Countries

JustMarkets does not accept as clients residents of Australia, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, or countries subject to international sanctions imposed by regulatory authorities.

Research

Research Tools

I have broken down JustMarkets’ research by type below:

Economic Calendar

The economic calendar keeps traders informed about upcoming economic and financial events that may impact market volatility. These events often lead to significant price movements, presenting potential trading opportunities.

Market Overviews

JustMarkets publishes daily market overviews that highlight the most relevant news influencing the markets. These concise updates provide a broad snapshot of current market sentiment, helping traders understand the underlying drivers behind price movements.

Daily Forecasts

The broker’s daily forecasts combine technical and fundamental analysis to identify emerging trading setups across a range of assets. These insights are typically supported by charts, making it easier for readers to visualize the analysis and interpret key trading signals.

JustMarkets Research: My Key Takeaways

I consider JustMarkets’ research materials to be of very high quality. The market overviews are rich in economic and macroeconomic insights, offering traders a solid understanding of current events driving the markets. The daily forecasts stand out visually, supported by well-crafted charts that enhance clarity and engagement.

That said, JustMarkets could strengthen its research offering by incorporating third-party content from providers such as Trading Central or Autochartist.

Education

I counted 350+ educational articles available on the JustMarkets website. These cover a wide variety of topics – from the basics of futures trading to risk control indicators on MetaTrader 5. While the materials are not structured thematically or by levels, I found them useful and informative.

The broker has also uploaded several MetaTrader tutorials, though it does not publish any other trading-related content in video format.

The bottom line

JustMarkets is a low-cost forex and CFD broker that stands out for its tight spreads, swap-free trading, a $10 minimum deposit, and cost-free deposits/withdrawals. This is why I consider it a great fit for casual and cost-conscious traders.

The broker offers MetaTrader 4 and 5, plus its own mobile app, and supports algo trading through Expert Advisors and a built-in strategy tester. Research content is high-quality and in-house, with daily market updates, forecasts, and useful tools like an economic calendar powered by Myfxbook.

However, the platform does have its downsides. The selection of 266 instruments feels limited, and the lack of ETFs or bonds makes it less appealing for long-term investors. While educational content is abundant, it lacks variety — no webinars, courses, or interactive tools aimed at elevating traders’ expertise.

Overall, JustMarkets is a solid choice for traders focused on low costs and basic-to-intermediate trading needs. It’s especially suited to copy traders, scalpers, and algo traders.
