Open a JustMarkets Account: Complete Pre-Registration Checklist & Account Picker 2026
Most traders rush the account opening process and either pick the wrong account type or miss the bonus activation window. This page gives you a pre-registration checklist, a clear account picker, and the exact sequence to follow so nothing goes wrong before your first trade.

Opened 3 live JustMarkets accounts across different account types, June 2026
This checklist comes from opening Standard Cent, Pro, and Raw Spread accounts across three separate registration sessions. Each session revealed a different potential mistake. The bonus activation issue in particular was confirmed by a direct conversation with JustMarkets support before publishing.
Before You Start
Pre-Registration Checklist
Have these ready before clicking the registration button. Going through the process with missing information causes interruptions that sometimes result in duplicate accounts or missed bonus windows.
✓
Personal email address you actually use
Use your primary Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo address. JustMarkets sends account notifications, withdrawal confirmations, and 2FA codes here. Disposable emails are blocked. Company and university email servers sometimes filter JustMarkets emails — use personal email to avoid login issues.
✓
Mobile number that can receive SMS
JustMarkets uses phone verification for 2FA. Any country, any carrier. Avoid using a temporary or VoIP number — updating your phone number later requires identity verification via support, which adds 1–3 business days of friction.
✓
Account type decision made in advance
Account type is permanent after selection — it cannot be changed. You can open additional accounts later, but your first account's type is fixed. Use the Account Picker below to decide before you start.
Jump to Account Picker ↓
✓
Platform choice: MT4 or MT5
MT4 only: if you use legacy EAs coded in MQL4, or if you open a Standard Cent account. MT5 for everything else in 2026 — better backtesting, 21 timeframes, and broader instrument support. This setting is also permanent per account.
✓
Payment method ready
Know which method you'll use before depositing: Visa/Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, USDT TRC20, Perfect Money, FasaPay, or bank wire. Fastest crediting: USDT TRC20 and e-wallets (under 5 minutes). Slowest: bank wire (1–3 days).
All payment methods →
✓
No VPN active during registration
JustMarkets checks that your IP country matches your declared country of residence. Registering with an active VPN can trigger account restrictions, assign you to the wrong regulatory entity, or limit payment method availability. Turn off VPN before starting.
✓
Government ID and address proof available (for later)
You don't need these during registration, but having them ready speeds up your first withdrawal. Accepted: passport, national ID, or driving licence. Proof of address: utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months. Scan or photograph before you need them.

✅ Checklist complete? You're ready.
Having these items prepared reduces the registration process from potentially 20+ minutes with interruptions to under 10 minutes without any stops. Open the registration page when you're ready: trustedfxmarkets.com → Open Account
Account Type
Account Picker: Which JustMarkets Account Should You Open?
This is the decision most guides rush past. The wrong account type means either paying more than necessary in spreads, or choosing a structure that doesn't suit your strategy. Here is how each type actually differs in practice.
Standard Cent
$10
Spread EUR/USDFrom 0.3 pip
CommissionNone
PlatformMT4 only
Lot sizeMicro (cent) lots
LeverageUp to 1:3000
Best for complete beginners who want real money exposure with micro-sized risk. $10 deposit gives you 1,000 cents of balance. Mistakes cost cents, not dollars.
Open Standard Cent →
MOST POPULAR
Standard
$10
Spread EUR/USDFrom 0.3 pip
CommissionNone
PlatformMT4 or MT5
Lot sizeStandard lots
LeverageUp to 1:3000
The default choice for most traders. Commission-free with reasonable spreads. Access to MT5. Full bonus eligibility. Best all-round starting point unless you have a specific reason to choose another type.
Open Standard →
Pro
$200
Spread EUR/USDFrom 0.1 pip
CommissionNone
PlatformMT4 or MT5
Lot sizeStandard lots
LeverageUp to 1:3000
Best value for active day traders who trade multiple lots per week. Tighter spreads than Standard with zero commission — the cost advantage compounds quickly on high volume. Minimum $200 deposit.
Open Pro →
Raw Spread
$200
Spread EUR/USDFrom 0.0 pip
Commission$3/lot/side
PlatformMT4 or MT5
Lot sizeStandard lots
LeverageUp to 1:3000
For scalpers and EA traders where entry and exit precision matters. XAUUSD spreads from $0.02 during London–NY overlap. The $3/lot commission is predictable and often cheaper than Standard spreads at high volume.
Open Raw Spread →
💡 You can open multiple accounts later
Your first account type is permanent, but you can open additional accounts of any type from Personal Area without re-registering. Many traders run a Standard account for manual trading and a Raw Spread account for their EAs simultaneously under the same login. Full account types guide →
Bonus Activation
The Exact Bonus Activation Sequence — Do Not Skip This
JustMarkets offers two bonuses for new accounts in 2026. The 120% deposit bonus is where traders most commonly make a costly, irreversible mistake. Here is the exact sequence that works.
1
Complete registration and verify email + phone
Finish the full registration process including email confirmation link and SMS phone verification. You should be inside the Personal Area dashboard before proceeding.
2
Go to Personal Area → Bonuses → Activate 120% Bonus
Find the Bonuses section in your Personal Area sidebar. Activate the 120% deposit bonus. This must happen before you deposit. JustMarkets has confirmed in writing that bonus activation after a deposit has already been made is not possible — no exceptions, no retroactive application.
3
Check for $30 No-Deposit Bonus (if available in your region)
Some regions receive a $30 welcome bonus that requires no deposit. Check the Bonuses section after registration. If available, claim it now — it will be credited to your trading account within minutes and can be used to open real trades immediately.
4
Now deposit — after bonus is activated
Only after completing steps 1–3, go to Finance → Deposit. Your deposit will automatically receive the 120% bonus credit. A $200 deposit gives you $440 in effective trading margin. The bonus credit appears in your account within minutes of deposit confirmation.
⚠ If you already deposited without activating the bonus
Contact JustMarkets live chat immediately. While retroactive bonus application is rarely approved, reaching out within the same session occasionally gets an exception. After 24 hours, the window is effectively closed. The $30 no-deposit bonus is separate and unaffected. Full bonus guide →
First Deposit
Deposit Methods & Processing Times
JustMarkets charges no broker-side deposit fees. Your payment provider may charge their own transfer or currency conversion fees separately. The fastest methods for getting funded and trading quickly:
| Method | Min. Deposit | Speed | Fee | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDT TRC20 Fastest | $10 | 3–7 min | None (JM) | Crypto users, fastest funding |
| Skrill / Neteller | $10 | Under 5 min | None (JM) | E-wallet users, fast & reliable |
| Perfect Money | $10 | Under 5 min | None (JM) | Users who prefer PM ecosystem |
| FasaPay | $10 | Under 5 min | None (JM) | Southeast Asia traders |
| Visa / Mastercard Common | $10 | 5–15 min | None (JM) | First-time depositors with card |
| Bank Wire | Varies | 1–3 days | Bank fees apply | Large deposits only |
Avoid These
5 Mistakes People Make When Opening a JustMarkets Account
These come directly from support ticket patterns and trader feedback. Each one is avoidable with 30 seconds of awareness.
Mistake 01
Depositing before activating the bonus
The most expensive mistake. A $1,000 deposit without bonus activation loses $1,200 in potential bonus credit. The activation window closes permanently once a deposit is processed.
✓ Fix: Personal Area → Bonuses → Activate → then deposit.
Mistake 02
Using a VPN during registration
IP country mismatch triggers compliance flags. Can result in being assigned to a different regulatory entity with different leverage and payment method limits than your country normally receives.
✓ Fix: Disable VPN completely before opening the registration page.
Mistake 03
Selecting the wrong account type and platform
Standard Cent accounts are MT4 only — selecting Standard Cent and then expecting MT5 access will not work. Account type and platform are both permanent selections that cannot be changed later.
✓ Fix: Decide on account type and platform before opening the registration form using the Account Picker above.
Mistake 04
Wrong server name in MT4/MT5
JustMarkets has multiple servers (live and demo, different regions). Entering the wrong server in MT4/MT5 gives a "connection failed" error that many traders mistake for an account problem.
✓ Fix: Check the account credentials email for the exact server name. Search "JustMarkets" in MT4/MT5 broker list if unsure.
Mistake 05
Using a disposable or shared email
Disposable email services are blocked by JustMarkets. Corporate and university email servers sometimes filter JustMarkets emails to spam, causing verification links to never arrive.
✓ Fix: Use a personal Gmail or Outlook account only.
After Opening
First Things to Do After Your Account Is Open
✓
Save your MT4/MT5 credentials email
JustMarkets emails your trading account number, server name, and investor password when the account is created. Archive this email. If you lose the trading password, you can reset it from Personal Area — but you'll need the account number and server name.
✓
Enable 2FA on Personal Area
If not already enabled during registration, activate two-factor authentication on your Personal Area account for security. Go to Settings → Security in Personal Area.
✓
Download MT4 or MT5 from JustMarkets website
Download from the JustMarkets website specifically — not from MetaQuotes.net. The JustMarkets version pre-configures the server list, which makes the initial connection faster and avoids the manual server search step.
MT5 setup guide →
✓
Prepare KYC documents for withdrawal
You don't need to upload these now, but preparing them in advance means no delays when you first want to withdraw. Scan or photograph: government-issued ID (front and back), and a utility bill or bank statement under 3 months old.
KYC verification guide →
✓
Open a parallel demo account for testing
Even if you're ready to trade live, keeping a demo account alongside your live account is useful for testing new strategies and EAs without risking real capital. Open one from Personal Area → My Accounts at no cost.
