Choosing the right account at JustMarkets comes down to a short sequence of decisions rather than one big choice. This guide walks through that sequence, pulling together everything covered across our other JustMarkets articles into one practical framework.
Step 1: Confirm which entity will actually serve you
Check whether you’ll register under JustMarkets’ CySEC entity or one of its offshore ones, per our JustMarkets review. This determines your maximum leverage (1:30 under CySEC versus up to 1:3000 offshore) and your investor-protection level. Most international clients land under an offshore entity by default.
Step 2: Start on Standard Cent regardless of your capital
With a $10 minimum, Standard Cent is the right starting point for anyone new to real-money trading at this broker — the point isn’t affordability, it’s building platform familiarity with a real but small-feeling balance before scaling up.
Step 3: Move to Raw Spread only once volume justifies it
Raw Spread’s $200 minimum and ~$3/lot commission, covered in our JustMarkets top-list article, only pays off once your trading volume is high enough that the spread savings outweigh the added commission. Calculate this specifically rather than upgrading just because Raw Spread sounds more advanced.
Step 4: Test the withdrawal process early with a small amount
Before depositing meaningful capital, submit a small test withdrawal once you have any profit — a habit modeled throughout our JustMarkets case study that builds genuine confidence in the broker’s process before you actually need it.
Step 5: Evaluate any live promotion on its own math
If JustMarkets has an active bonus when you register, run the volume-requirement calculation from our promotions article before claiming it. A bonus is only worth it if your expected trading pace clears its lot requirement within the campaign’s validity window.
Step 6: Set a personal leverage cap
Regardless of which account you land on, decide your own real leverage ceiling before your first trade — especially relevant given JustMarkets’ offshore leverage can reach 1:3000.
Putting it together
In sequence: confirm your entity, start on Standard Cent, move to Raw Spread once volume justifies it, test withdrawals early, evaluate promotions on their own math, and self-impose a leverage cap throughout. This order is the most reliable path to a good experience at JustMarkets.

Does this guide apply to CySEC clients too? Yes, though your leverage will be capped at 1:30 regardless of account tier chosen.
How do I know if Raw Spread is worth it for me? Track your actual monthly lot volume for a month on Standard first, then compare against the break-even math in our account-comparison article.
