Customr service is not too good but their trading conditions are ok. I opned an MT5 account a year ago and have had zero worries. They could improve on their deposit process though by adding more options and removing the need to copy narrations on bank transfers.

Their MT4 & MT5 is a joke, always freezing and sometimes the tool box disappears so you cannot monitor an open trade.

They should improve on order management, sometimes they do not execute pending orders due to slippage. Sometimes you delete an order and it is still there.

Tight spread on EUR/USD but you need to have a well-funded account because they reduce their leverage when news is out. Their withdrawals are also very fast, and they support many funding methods. They definitely need to support more trading platforms and improve on their customer support

Excellent services, their spread is also very low when trading currency pairs (i have not checked other asset classes). How I wish they add the TradingView platform for us

I lowerred the leverage on my account ******5037 from 1:3000 to 1:500 only for them to increase it back to 1:3000 without informing me. I just noticed my losses were larger than normal and i decided to check only to find out they have increased my leverage without my permission

I reached out to their agent to resolve an issue about my pending order being triggered even after I had cancelled it, she said she will get back to me and they never did.

somebody just posted a review about them lowering their leverage suddenly and i concur with this. Its almost as if they are preventing us from trading. Alot of us signed up with them because of the 3000x leverage and to suddenly reduce it to 200x? how do they expect us to trade? I missed a lot of good trades because of this bs!

They should improve on their personal area display. There is no way to monitor pending withdrawals so if I have a pending withdrawal I will not be able to track it. Brokers like fxpro have this feature

They are fond of increasing margin requirements when markets are a bit volatile thereby making it impossible for you to trade if you dont have a fat account balance. I know every broker does this but their own is too frequent and its annoying

I used Just Markets copy trading and I commend them for how organized and easy it is to use. I was able to fund my investor account quickly without any delays when my equity was low

Broker is okay but I had to abandon them because of their policy on $10 minimum withdrawal which is too high in these hard times. They don't encourage you to withdraw so you can be tempted to keep trading and losing. Other brokers have minimum withdrawal as low as $3 but their own is $10 which has caused me to be over trading whenever I see money in my account.

Account Types - 10/10
1. Just Markets MT4 Cent Account
Beginners who want to experience live trading while limiting their losses/profits can open the Just Markets Cent. Here, you can only open small trades & hence you cannot make big losses.
2. Just Markets MT4/5 Standard Account
This is an full-fledged account and this is for normal trading with no restrictions. Its a spread-only account meaning you don't pay commissions.
3. Just Markets MT4/5 Raw Spread Account
Another full-fledged account but this time you pay commissions on every trade you make but in exchange, you get razor-thin spreads..
4. Just Markets MT4/5 Pro Account
This is a hybrid cross between the Standard & Raw Spread Accounts. On the Pro Account, you save about half the spread you would have paid on the Standard Account & you still don't pay any commissions per trade
Account Management - 8/10
Available Account Currencies
Just Markets offers ZAR as an account currency, so you can avoid paying conversion fees every time you deposit/withdraw in your local ZAR currency.
USD, GBP & EUR account currencies are also available at Just Markets South Africa.
Negative Balance Protection
At Just Markets even if your account balance goes into negative for any reason, Just Markets will refund the negative balance & restore your account balance back to zero.
Dynamic Leverage
Just Markets has dynamic leverage so once your account balance is up to 1,000 USD, you can no longer access up to 1:3000 leverage.
For an account balance of 1,000 to 4,999 USD, the leverage you can access is automatically reduced to 1:2000.
For an account balance of 5,000 to 29,999 USD the leverage you can access is automatically reduced to 1:1000.
For an account balance of 30,000 USD & above the leverage you can access is automatically reduced to 1:500.
Number of Trading Accounts Allowed
At Just Markets, you can open an unlimited number of trading accounts but you can only register for one Personal Area.
Margin Call & Stop Out
Margin Call will come when your Margin Level falls to 40% and you will be Stopped Out of all your trades when your Margin Level falls to 20%.
Range of CFD Markets - 6.5/10
Forex (1:3000 Leverage)
You get access to all major forex pairs which is good but you only get access to ZAR crosses: USD/ZAR & EUR/ZAR.
Indices (1:500 Leverage)
You get access to popular indices like NASDAQ, S&P 500, UK 100; but you don't get access to any local South African indices.
Stocks (1:20 Leverage)
You get access to lots of international stock across multiple sectors such as oil/gas, automobile, skin care etc. but you don't get access to local South African stocks like MTN.
Commodities (1:3000 Leverage)
You get access to Precious metals such as Gold, Palladium etc. & you also get access to oil.
However, we noticed Gold is not crossed with the ZAR (there is not XAU/ZAR pair). We also noticed there are no soft commodities such as agriculture & livestock etc.
Crypto (1:20 Leverage)
Just Markets has a pretty diverse Crypto portfolio with coins like Bitcoin, TRON, DOGECOIN, ETHEREUM, etc.
However, we noticed these crypto assets are not paired against the ZAR currency. This exposes ZAR account currency users to more currency conversion fees.
Cost of Trading - 9/10
1. Spread
Just Markets spreads are very competitive. On the Standard Account spreads start from 0.3 pips & when trading the EUR/USD pair you get an average spread of 0.7 pips.
On the Pro Account spreads start from 0.1 pips & on the Raw Account spreads are almost zero when trading major pairs.
2. Commissions
When trading forex with the Raw Spread Account, you pay a flat commission of $3 per side on every standard lot traded. In return you get near-zero spreads.
Trading Stock, Indices, Crypto & Commodity CFDs is commission-free at Just Markets.
3. Overnight Swaps
Just Markets offers extended swap-free trading on most instruments so you can hold your position open overnight at zero cost.
4. Inactivity Fees
Yes, Just Markets charges a $5 monthly fee on dormant accounts after 5 months of inactivity.
Platforms - 6.5/10
1. MetaTrader
Just Markets offers MT4 & MT5 desktop/web trading platforms.
The Cent Account only works on MT4 while other trading accounts work on both MT4/5.
We noticed that Just Markets execution speed is not as fast as some competitors when we tested their MT5. There were occasional delays when we tried to close trades.
However, Just Markets does not provide additional MetaTrader support such as free Expert Advisor tools that can upgrade the performance of MT4.
We also noticed an issue with the Just Markets MT5 desktop platform where if you set a trailing stop loss & then cancel it, it will keep coming back/resetting itself.
2.Just Markets Mobile App
The JM mobile app is compatible with android & apple devices. The app is not very sophisticated but is ideal for monitoring your ongoing trades & funding/withdrawing from your account./p>
Tools - 4/10
1. Copy Trading
Just Markets offers copy trading where you can either copy other experienced investors, or let people copy your strategies.
to start copy trading at Just Markets you need to register a copy trading profile & create an investor wallet.
Next you have to perform an internal transfer from your normal trading account, to your investor wallet.
After funding your wallet, you can proceed to select an investor to copy.
Just Markets so called Investment Protection Mechanism (IPM) temporary pauses your copy trading when the market is moving against the investor you're copying from.
2. Economic Calendar
Just Markets provides you an economic calendar to help you keep track of the exact dates when important market changing data such as Nonfarm Payroll, CPI & PCE; will be released.
Customer Support - 8/10
1. Live Chat
The Live Chat is the best support channel with instant responses and even the bot which greets you at the beginning is well configured to answer questions. However, on busy days it takes a live agent a long time to attend to you.
2. Telephone
Another good support feature is the request a call back feature which meant we didn't need to spend our airtime calling Just Markets; they quickly got back to us after we requested a call back.
3. Email
Emails are also responded to in about 1 hour which is good.
However, we visited the online stores and noticed that Just Markets does not respond frequently to complaints about their mobile app/services.
4. Demo Account
There is also customer support in form of a demo account for practicing with fake cash. The demo account is great because it does not expire early and is very stable but Just Markets should allow trading more instruments on the demo
5. Education
Just Markets education is not organized into a trading academy as some brokers do & there's not much of videos to watch. However, the text-based learning materials cut straight to the chase and are updated regularly.
