Just2Trade

Just2Trade is a Cyprus-based brokerage established in 2017, operating under the corporate entity Lime Trading (CY) Ltd. The broker provides retail trading services across multiple asset classes, including forex, CFDs, stocks, futures, and bonds. With a registered address at Magnum Business Center in Limassol, Just2Trade positions itself as a multi-asset broker catering to a global clientele.

The broker markets itself as offering low-cost trading with access to major financial markets. It emphasizes its regulatory status and the provision of popular trading platforms such as MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. However, traders should note that as of 2023, Just2Trade has ceased providing services to UK resident investors and exited the UK Temporary Permissions Regime, meaning UK consumer protections no longer apply.

Just2Trade holds regulatory licenses from two jurisdictions: the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and the US National Futures Association (NFA). The CySEC license (CIF 281/15) allows the broker to operate as a Market Making firm within the European Economic Area, while the NFA registration (Derivatives Trading License) provides a framework for US-based clients.

It is important to note that the CySEC regime imposes certain investor protections, including negative balance protection and access to the Investor Compensation Fund. However, the broker's exit from the UK Temporary Permissions Regime means that former UK clients are no longer covered by UK regulatory protections. Traders should verify which regulatory entities apply to their specific jurisdiction before opening an account.

Just2Trade offers three account tiers, each designed for different levels of trading activity and capital. The accounts vary in minimum deposit requirements, spreads, and commission structures. According to information on the broker's website, some accounts feature spreads starting from zero with a fixed commission per lot, while others may include wider spreads with no commission.

The broker provides a comparison table on its site to help traders evaluate the differences. Account options range from a standard account for beginners to more advanced accounts for high-volume traders. All accounts grant access to the full suite of trading instruments and platforms, though margin requirements and leverage may differ.

Just2Trade supports four trading platforms, with MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) as the primary offerings. Both platforms are available for desktop, web, and mobile devices, providing a familiar environment for forex and CFD traders. MT4 is known for its extensive library of indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs), while MT5 offers additional timeframes and analytical tools.

The broker also claims to offer proprietary platforms or additional third-party integrations, though details are limited on the public website. The platforms support multiple order types, one-click trading, and real-time market data. Traders can also use the web-based version without downloading software.

Just2Trade provides access to over 50 forex pairs, including major, minor, and exotic currencies. Additionally, traders can speculate on stock CFDs from major global exchanges, futures contracts on commodities and indices, bonds, metals like gold and silver, and options. The broker's instrument list is comprehensive, covering a wide range of markets.

Leverage is available on most products, with forex pairs typically offering up to 30:1 for retail clients under CySEC rules. The broker also offers a demo account for practice, as indicated on its forex solutions page. Trading hours vary by instrument, and liquidity is sourced from multiple venues.

Just2Trade employs a transparent fee structure with both spread and commission-based pricing. According to its fees page, the broker charges commissions on certain account types while offering spreads as low as 0 pips. For example, the 'Professional' account may have a commission of $3 per lot per side, while the 'Standard' account has no commission but wider spreads.

Other costs include overnight swap rates (rollover) and, where applicable, deposit/withdrawal fees. The broker does not charge inactivity fees, but traders should review the terms and conditions for any additional charges. Overall, the pricing is competitive within the retail forex brokerage space.
