Recensione del broker JustMarkets

Is JustMarkets (formerly JustForex) Safe?

We consider JustMarkets a high-risk broker because Deutsch traders have no recourse in the event of a dispute with the company.

Regulation: Founded in 2012, JustMarkets was unregulated for almost 10 years, having briefly held a licence from the IFSC (Belize) in 2013.

The company recently received a licence from the FSA of Seychelles, through which Deutsch traders are onboarded. While the FSA does regulate brokers, it is not considered a strict regulator and only requires that brokers demonstrate $50,000 in operating capital. Importantly, Deutsch traders will have few options for resolution if they end up in a dispute with JustMarkets. 

Safety Features: According to its website, JustMarkets segregates all funds from the company’s operating capital and offers negative balance protection to all its clients.   

Overall, for traders looking for a trustworthy and reliable trading environment, we recommend looking at Pepperstone and XM as alternatives.

Trading Fees

JustMarkets’s trading fees are lower than other similar brokers.   

JustMarkets offers 7 live accounts with varying minimum deposits on both the MT4 and MT5 trading platforms (click here for more on JustMarkets’s trading platforms).  Five of its accounts are commission-free, with trading costs included in the variable spreads, while the other two accounts have a tighter spread in exchange for a commission per lot traded. 

JustMarkets’s accounts were assessed to compare the costs to those of other Forex brokers. The costs were evaluated based on the trading fees on one lot (100 000 USD) on the EUR/USD, including the spreads and commission.  

When making this calculation, we used one lot of EUR/USD as a benchmark as it is the most commonly traded currency pair and it usually has the tightest spread.

Unfortunately, JustMarkets is not transparent about the average spreads associated with each account type, so these calculations were based on the minimum spreads. 

Trading Cost Formula: Spread x Trade Size + Commission = Cost in Secondary Currency (USD):

As you can see from the table above, JustMarkets offers three Standard Accounts on MT4 and MT5, including an MT4 Standard Cent Account. These are all entry-level accounts and have a minimum deposit of only 1 USD.  

Trading costs are a little higher than average across all three of the Standard Accounts – most good brokers’ entry-level accounts have a trading cost of 9 USD per lot of EUR/USD traded.  However, with no real minimum deposit requirements to speak of, these are still good accounts for beginner traders.

Trading costs improve significantly on the four Pro Accounts, but the minimum deposits here are higher, at 100 USD. 

Spreads are variable at JustMarkets, meaning that they will get wider or tighter depending on trade volume and market volatility – the spreads in the table above are minimum spreads.

Swap Fees

The final trading cost to consider at JustMarkets is the swap rate charged on positions held overnight. JustMarkets is completely transparent regarding its overnight financing rates and these can be found on the website for every instrument.

For instance, the fee for holding 1 lot of EUR/USD overnight in a long position on a Standard Account is -4.44, and -0.09 for a short position.  

Overall, JustMarkets’s trading costs are low compared to other brokers. The ongoing costs on the Standard Accounts are slightly higher than other brokers but the minimum deposits are negligible. The ongoing trading costs on the Pro Accounts are lower than average but the minimum deposits are higher, but still in line with what beginners would be happy to pay.

JustMarkets’s Non-trading Fees

JustMarkets’s non-trading fees are lower than other brokers.

Some of the most overlooked trading costs are the non-trading fees that are charged by brokers.  These fees can significantly affect your profitability and so should be carefully scrutinised.

JustMarkets charges no commissions on deposits or withdrawals, which is a welcome development in an industry where fees are charged on almost all transactions.

However, Just forex charges a fee of 5 USD per month after 151 days of dormancy, but these inactivity fees are lower than most other brokers.

The account-opening and verification process at JustMarkets is seamless, fully digital and accounts are ready for trading immediately.

Overall, JustMarkets’s account-opening process is fully digital and hassle-free and accounts are ready for trading immediately.

JustMarkets’s Trading Accounts

JustMarkets has a much wider range of account types than most brokers, but maximum leverage is very high (up to 1:3000), which can greatly increase the risk of account wipeout for those with lower minimum deposits.

JustMarkets offers seven live accounts (when you include the choice of the MT4 or MT5 trading platforms), which is many more than most other brokers. While trading costs are slightly above average on the Standard Accounts, the Pro Accounts offer relatively low trading costs but higher minimum deposits.

The three Standard Accounts on offer at JustMarkets are more suited to beginner traders. Beginner traders are inexperienced traders who have never traded before, or who have been trading for less than a year. Beginner traders often do not want to risk trading large sums of money and generally will not be able to trade full-time during the workweek.  

The three beginner-friendly Standard Accounts have low minimum deposits, though trading costs are higher than the industry average. The main issue with the Standard Accounts, and at JustMarkets in general, is the extreme leverage on offer – up to 3000:1 on some Forex pairs. With low minimum deposits, leverage this high will greatly increase the risk of an account wipeout, so beginner traders should be careful.

More experienced traders will be interested in the range of four Pro Accounts, which require a minimum deposit of 100 USD but have much tighter spreads – one of them features spreads of 0.6 pips on the EUR/USD with no commission.

Hedging, scalping, netting, and copy-trading are allowed on all accounts, and all are available as Islamic swap-free accounts.  

All accounts, except for the MT4 Standard Cent Account are denominated in 11 base currencies.

For ease of reading, we have grouped the MT4/MT5 accounts together, as the trading conditions are similar.  

MT4 Standard Cent Account

The MT4 Standard Cent account is designed for traders-beginners.  On this account, trading is denominated in US Cents.  The minimum deposit is 1 USD, leverage is up to 1000:1, spreads are average- starting at 0.9 pips – and no commission is charged.  Note that lots are measured as 1,000 USD, and minimum transaction orders are 0.01 cent lots.  

MT4/MT5 Standard Accounts

The minimum deposit on the Standard Account is 1 USD.  Leverage is high on this account, up to 3000:1, spreads start at 1 pip on the EUR/USD, which is wider than other brokers, no commissions are charged, and the minimum transaction is 0.01 lots.

MT4/MT5 Pro Accounts

The minimum deposit on the Pro Accounts is 100 USD.  Spreads start at 0.6 pips (EUR/USD), which is tighter than other brokers, leverage is 3000:1, and accounts can be denominated in 11 currencies. Pro accounts are commission-free and the minimum order is 0.01 lots.

MT4/MT5 Raw Spread Accounts

Raw Spread accounts are ECN accounts, on which a commission is charged – 3 USD per lot/side.  The minimum deposit on this account is 100 USD, leverage is 3000:1, spreads start at 0 pips, and accounts can be denominated in 11 currencies.  These trading costs are also much lower than other brokers.  

Demo Accounts

JustMarkets allows traders to test their strategies by opening a free demo account. Demo trading is a simulation of real Forex trading.  Traders are given a virtual currency balance of 5,000,000 USD and an unlimited time to gain experience on the Metatrader platforms, using all account options without the risk of losing real money. 

Deposits and Withdrawals

Although JustMarkets is unregulated, it states that all Anti-Money Laundering rules and regulations are followed.  Deposits can only be made using a bank account or card registered in the trader’s name, and no third-party deposits are allowed.  Withdrawals must be made to the same account or method that the funds originated. 

JustMarkets does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees except on cryptocurrencies.  Most deposits are instant, and JustMarkets takes one to two hours to process withdrawals during business hours. JustMarkets offers the following methods for deposits and withdrawals:

Scorri per maggiori dettagli

• Bank Wire Transfers – Deposits are instant and free. Withdrawals are free, but bank charges apply and can take up to three to six bank days to reflect.
• Local Bank Transfers – Deposits are instant and free. Withdrawals are free and take only one to two hours to be processed.
• Debit/Credit card – Deposits are instant and free. Withdrawals are free, and withdrawals can take up to three days to be processed.
• Worldwide Wallets (Skrill, Neteller, Perfect Money & Sticpay) – Deposits are instant and free. Withdrawals are free but may take one to two hours to reflect.
• Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Tether, USD Coin) – Deposits are charged at 1% and may take one to three hours to reflect. JustMarkets charges a Blockchain fee for withdrawals, and they may take one to two hours to be processed. 
• Local Wallets (Fasapay, Doku Wallet, Alipay, bit wallet) – Deposits are free and instant. Withdrawals are free and take between one to two hours to reflect.

Overall, JustMarkets offers a wide range of funding methods, and deposits and withdrawals are free.  Additionally, JustMarkets has some of the quickest processing times in the industry. 

Bonus Structure

• All Standard Cent, Pro, Standard account-holders receive a 50% bonus on a deposit of up to 100 USD and more.
• All Pro, Standard account-holders receive a 100% bonus on a deposit of 100 USD and more.
• All Pro, Standard accounts clients receive a 120% bonus on a deposit of 500 USD and more.

Bonuses are only available on the first deposit.  See the JustMarkets website for more offers.

Base Currencies (Trading Account Currencies)

JustMarkets offers a much wider range of trading account currencies than many other brokers.

While JustMarkets offers a huge range of trading account currencies, the MT4 Standard Cent Account is only denominated in US cents.  The other six trading accounts are denominated in 11 currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, MYR, IDR, THB, VND, KWD, CNY, and ZAR.

Unfortunately, JustMarkets does not offer accounts denominated in AUD, which means that Deutsch clients will have to pay currency conversion fees on deposits and withdrawals.  

For traders that trade in large volumes (more than 10 lots a month), it is better to open an account denominated in USD at a digital currency bank, especially for trading on assets such as the EUR/USD. This is because when trading a USD quoted currency pair with another currency account, there will be a small conversion fee for every trade made.

Overall, JustMarkets offers more trading account currencies than most other large international brokers, but it doesn’t offer accounts denominated in AUD.  

Trading Platforms

JustMarkets’s trading platform support is average compared to other brokers.  

JustMarkets offers support for the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms.  As the most widely used platforms on the market, they are simple to navigate yet offer a powerful range of features, charts, and analysis tools. MetaTrader allows immediate and accurate access to international financial markets and delivers feature-rich, user-friendly interfaces designed to fulfill all trading needs and boost trading performance.

MetaTrader 4

MT4 was developed in 2005 and is still considered one of the best trading platforms on the Forex market.  MT4 allows one to make money on Forex with a consistent and useful interface.  It supports indicators, expert advisers, and other tools for real-time market analysis. One can also create instruments and share them with other traders.  Other features of MT4 include:

• Four types of order execution, including Market, Limit, Stop, and Trailing Stop orders.
• Superior charting tools in nine timeframes
• 30 technical indicators
• 23 analytical objects
• Algorithmic trading, which allows any trading strategy to be formalised and implemented as an Expert Advisor. 
• Backtesting capabilities
• Dedicated customer support

MetaTrader 5

MetaTrader 5 is the latest trading platform developed by MetaQuotes Software Corp. Set to replace MT4, MT5 is more intuitive and offers significant improvements in copy trading, mobile trading, and other innovative features that make trading account management more efficient.  Other features of MT5 include:

• 38 technical indicators
• 44 graphical objects
• 21 timeframes
• One-click trading
• Built-in depth of market widgets
• Economic calendar.

Overall, although JustMarkets only offers the Metatrader suite of platforms, which are not as beginner-friendly as the proprietary platforms offered at other brokers, MT4 and MT5 are considered some of the best third-party platforms in the industry.

JustMarkets Mobile Trading 

JustMarkets’s mobile trading platforms are average compared to other similar brokers.  It offers mobile versions of MT4 and MT5, but no proprietary mobile trading solutions.  

JustMarkets offers support for MT4 and MT5 mobile trading apps for Android and iOS. Traders should be aware that there is some loss in functionality when compared to the desktop trading platforms, including reduced time frames and fewer charting options, but traders can close and modify existing orders, calculate profit and loss, and trade on the charts. 

Trading Tools

JustMarkets offers a limited range of trading tools compared to other Forex brokers.

​JustMarkets offers support for a social trading platform, MAM accounts, and a VPS hosting service.  Most other brokers also offer additional tools such as Trading Central or Autochartist to help traders make better trading decisions.

Social Trading

Social trading is a service that allows investors to follow the trading strategy and copy trades of professionals, which are also known as signal providers. JustMarkets provides a list of signal providers that are rated based on various criteria: trading period, maximum drawdowns, best trades, profit factor. Top-ranked signal providers are displayed first in the list.

Usually, the actions of experienced Forex traders are used as a guide for beginners. It reduces the time for market research and analytics before trading on Forex. Social trading is useful for traders who have no time for training or making independent investment decisions. 

MQL5 Signals is a product from the developers of MetaTrader 4, which allows followers to copy the signals of successful traders and copy their transactions directly from the MetaTrader terminal. 

MAM Accounts

JustMarkets offers an account management service to its clients which allows account managers to trade on their behalf. Multi-Account Manager (MAM) is the software that allows fund managers, money managers, and portfolio managers to manage multiple trading accounts at the same time with the use of one trading account.

The MAM software provides all the features of the regular MT4 platform, including the usage of charting packages and expert advisors. All processing is centralized and server-based, hundreds of accounts can be traded with one click and there is virtually no delay in allocations.

ForexVPS

JustMarkets recommends using a VPS service, provided by Vultr.com.  Traders will have to contact the VPS provider directly to find out about the costs associated with using the service.

VPS services ensure that trades are never disrupted by technological or connectivity issues, such as load-shedding or internet service failure, which is a benefit to algorithmic traders who need to be connected to a server 24/7 to maximise uptime.  Other benefits of the VPS service include:

• 24/6 VPS email support
• 24/7 Redundant power to your VPS
• 24/7 Redundant internet connectivity to your VPS
• Low latency connectivity to FP Markets trading servers for precision trading
• Uninterrupted EA trading

JustMarkets Financial Instruments

JustMarkets offers a limited number of financial instruments compared to most other brokers, but its Forex offering is decent.

JustMarkets’s range of financial instruments for CFD trading (click here for more details on CFD trading), including Forex, share CFDs, indices, futures, cryptocurrencies, and commodities:

Scorri per maggiori dettagli

• Forex: JustMarkets has over 65 currency pairs available for trading, a broader range than most other brokers.  These include majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY), minors (NZD/JPY, GBP/JPY, and USD/ZAR), and exotics. 

• Share CFDs: JustMarkets offers only 63 share CFDs for trading, which is limited compared to other large international brokers.  The selection available includes some of the major US, UK, and European Exchanges. CFDs on shares are subject to dividends. They are credited to trading accounts that have open positions at 00:00 GMT+3 on the day preceding the day of the dividend payment. 

• Indices: There are 11 indices available for trading at JustMarkets, which is around the average available at other similar brokers. The most popular indices are those that combine the shares of some of the largest and globally acknowledged companies.   These include the S&P 500, the FTSE 100, the NASDAQ 100, and the Dow Jones 30, among others. 

• Commodities: JustMarkets offers trading on 10 commodities, which is around the average available at other brokers.  Commodities include metals such as gold and silver and energies like Brent Crude Oil and Lite Crude Oil.

• Futures: JustMarkets offers trading on 23 futures, which is average compared to other brokers.  Futures include SPX 500 futures, softs such as coffee, sugar, and cocoa, and Euro bund futures.  

• Cryptocurrencies: Crypto CFDs are available on some of the JustMarkets accounts. there are 14 crypto pairs available, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. The spreads vary significantly compared to other traditional Fiat currencies.  It is not unusual for spreads to be as wide as 75 pips on Bitcoin, but cryptocurrency spreads vary greatly, so if you trade these currencies, watch your margins.

Overall, the selection of CFD trading instruments available at JustMarkets should be viewed as the bare minimum and is not adequate for professional clients.  However, JustMarkets offers trading on over 65 Forex pairs, which is much more than is usually on offer at other brokerages.  

JustMarkets for Beginners

JustMarkets has a mediocre range of educational materials, which is neither well-organised nor well-structured. JustMarkets’s market analysis materials, on the other hand, are frequently updated and relevant. It also boasts unlimited demo accounts and a responsive customer service team available 24/7 for all client-related and technical queries. 

Educational Materials

JustMarkets’s educational materials are limited compared to other brokers, and it is neither well-structured nor well-organised.  

JustMarkets provides beginner traders with various educational materials, including training webinars, educational videos, a glossary of terms, and an array of articles.  

• Forex Articles: JustMarkets offers a large number of articles, and while the quality of the content is decent, it is difficult to find what you are looking for.  
• Educational videos: JustMarkets’s videos are comprised of 5 short tutorials on how to use the Metatrader platforms.
• Training webinars: Although it states that it offers webinars, traders will only be able to find an archive of previous webinars linked to JustMarkets’s YouTube channel.  There are no future webinars scheduled.

Market Analysis Material

JustMarkets’s markets analysis materials are better than many other brokers.  They are comprehensive and frequently updated.  

JustMarkets provides an up-to-date Market Overview, Market News, and technical analysis in addition to daily forecasts and an Economic calendar.  

JustMarkets’s in-house team of analysts provides updates of the various market events.  These materials are updated on a daily basis and are freely available to all visitors of the site.

Traders also receive multiple updates throughout the trading day, which can consist of brief fundamental summaries, technical trading alerts, and cryptocurrency analysis. Some content is text-only, and the rest includes charts and trading ideas.

JustMarkets also offers an economic calendar, a comprehensive log of all scheduled macroeconomic releases.

Customer Support

JustMarkets offers support in five different languages, including English, Malaysian, Indonesian, Russian and Chinese.  Help is available 24/7 (only in English) and during business hours for Indonesian and Malay via telephone, email, messenger, and live chat.  JustMarkets also offers a call-back option. 

For the purposes of this review, we found customer service responsive, polite, and extremely helpful.

Evaluation Method

We value transparency and openness in the way we review the partners. To bring transparency to the forefront, we have published our review process that includes a detailed breakdown of how we review JustMarkets’s product offering. Central to that process is the evaluation of the broker’s reliability, the platform offering of the broker, and the trading conditions offered to clients, which are summarised in this review. Each one of these is graded, and an overall score is calculated and assigned to the broker.

Risk Warning

Trading Forex is risky, and each broker is required to detail how risky the trading of Forex CFDs is to clients. JustMarkets would like you to know that: Trading on the Forex market is connected with risk.  Investments can fall and rise. You may get back less than you invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Clients should be aware that trading through JustMarkets carries a high risk of losing money on the Forex market.

Overview

An STP broker, JustMarkets offers excellent trading conditions on seven live accounts and support for the MT4 and MT5 platforms. Additionally, its non-trading fees are lower than other similar brokers.  

While JustMarkets’s market analysis materials are of a high quality and are frequently updated, its educational materials are somewhat limited.   

Another major drawback for traders considering JustMarkets is that it is poorly regulated. However, JustMarkets claims that client funds are placed in segregated bank accounts and that all customers are offered negative balance protection, but these cannot be verified.
