Can You Download JustMarkets on PC? Desktop App and Trading Options 2026

Phones are convenient, but most serious chart work still happens on a computer. A larger screen, a keyboard, multiple charts side by side and the ability to run indicators and automated strategies all make a desktop setup attractive. So, can you download JustMarkets on PC? Yes, and in more than one way. This guide explains every desktop option in 2026, from MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 for Windows and macOS to the browser-based WebTrader, and walks you through installation, login, first-time setup, security and troubleshooting.

We also cover the questions people often forget to ask: which platform matches which account, whether you need a separate login, how to run more than one terminal, and how to avoid fake installers that steal trading credentials.

You will need a trading account to log in to a live or demo terminal. If you do not have one yet, you can set up a JustMarkets account and get your terminal login first, then follow the steps below.

Can You Download JustMarkets on PC? The Quick Answer

Yes. JustMarkets provides desktop versions of MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) through its official platforms pages, with downloads for both Windows and macOS. If you cannot or do not want to install software, the WebTrader lets you trade from a browser. The broker's own JustMarkets app is built for Android and iOS phones and tablets, and also lets you manage your Personal Area on the go.

In practice, "downloading JustMarkets on PC" means downloading MetaTrader with JustMarkets' servers pre-configured, then logging in with the trading account details shown in your Personal Area. There is no separate fee for the software; trading costs such as spreads, commissions and swaps apply as normal.

Key facts

Every Desktop Option at a Glance

For most people the choice is between MT4 and MT5 desktop. We compare them in detail later.

Before You Download: What You Need

A JustMarkets account and trading account

Registration gives you access to the Personal Area, where you can open one or more trading accounts. Each trading account is created for a specific platform (MT4 or MT5) and type (Standard Cent, Standard, Pro or Raw Spread). The Personal Area shows the account number, server name and lets you set or reset the trading password. You can also open demo accounts for practice.

A supported operating system

MetaQuotes, the developer of MetaTrader, periodically ends support for older operating systems. As a rule of thumb, use an up-to-date, 64-bit version of Windows or a current version of macOS. If your computer is several years old and no longer receives security updates, consider the WebTrader instead.

Reasonable hardware

MetaTrader is not especially demanding. A modern dual-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and a few hundred megabytes of free disk space are usually enough for manual trading. If you plan to run many charts, heavy indicators or EAs, more memory and an SSD make a noticeable difference.

A stable internet connection

Speed matters less than stability. A wired connection or strong Wi-Fi reduces disconnections. For automated strategies that must run continuously, a virtual private server (VPS) is often a better host than a home PC.

Administrator rights

Installing software on Windows or macOS usually requires administrator permission. On a work computer you may not have it, which is another reason the WebTrader exists.

Installing MT4 on Windows

1. Go to the official website. Type the JustMarkets address into your browser yourself rather than clicking links from messages or adverts.
2. Open the platforms section. Find MetaTrader 4 and choose the Windows download.
3. Save the installer. Your browser will download a small setup file. Check that it came from the broker's domain.
4. Run the installer. Double-click the file. If Windows asks whether you want to allow the app to make changes, confirm only if the publisher information looks correct.
5. Accept the licence and choose a folder. The default folder is fine for one terminal. If you plan to run more than one MT4 terminal, use the "Settings" option to choose a distinct folder name.
6. Wait for the download to complete. The installer fetches the latest platform files.
7. Launch MT4. On first launch, it may show a server list or a demo account dialog. You can cancel the demo dialog if you already have an account.
8. Log in. Go to File → Login to Trade Account, enter your account number and password, and select the server shown in your Personal Area.

Once logged in, the bottom-right corner of the terminal shows a connection indicator. A moving green-and-red bar with traffic numbers means you are connected. "No connection" or "Invalid account" means something is wrong with the details; see the troubleshooting section.

Installing MT5 on Windows

The process is almost identical to MT4, with a few differences:

1. Download the MetaTrader 5 installer for Windows from JustMarkets' platforms page.
2. Run it and follow the prompts. MT5 installs into its own folder and does not replace MT4, so you can have both.
3. Launch MT5. If prompted to open a demo account, you can cancel and log in with your existing details.
4. Choose File → Login to Trade Account, then enter your MT5 account number, password and server.
5. Check the connection indicator in the bottom-right corner.

Remember that an MT4 account number will not work in MT5, and vice versa. If you only have an MT4 account and want to use MT5, open a new MT5 trading account in your Personal Area first.

Installing on a Mac

JustMarkets' platforms pages offer macOS downloads for both MT4 and MT5. The general process:

1. Download the macOS version (usually a .dmg or .pkg file) from the official platforms page.
2. Open the file. For a .dmg, drag the MetaTrader icon into the Applications folder; for a .pkg, follow the installer.
3. The first time you open the app, macOS may warn that it was downloaded from the internet. Confirm only if you are sure the file came from the official site.
4. Launch the platform and log in with your account number, password and server.

Mac-specific tips

• Some Mac builds of MetaTrader run using a compatibility layer, which means a few menus and fonts look slightly different from Windows. Core trading functions work the same.
• Keep macOS updated. Major macOS upgrades sometimes require reinstalling the platform.
• Third-party EAs and indicators designed for Windows usually work, but tools that rely on Windows-only libraries may not.
• On Apple silicon Macs, use the version provided by the broker or MetaQuotes rather than unofficial "ports".

Linux and Chromebook Options

Linux

MetaTrader is not officially built for Linux, but many users run the Windows version through Wine, a compatibility layer. MetaQuotes has published guidance on this approach. It works for many traders, but it is a do-it-yourself setup and support from the broker may be limited. If you are not comfortable with Linux troubleshooting, use the WebTrader.

Chromebook

Chromebooks cannot run the Windows installers. The simplest option is the WebTrader in Chrome. Some Chromebooks can also run Android apps from the Play Store, which may allow the JustMarkets mobile app or MetaTrader mobile apps to run, though the experience is designed for touchscreens.

Using the WebTrader

The WebTrader is the right choice when you cannot install software, when you are on a shared or work computer, or when you just want to check a position quickly.

How to access it

1. Log in to your Personal Area on the official site, or open the WebTrader link from the platforms page.
2. Select the trading account you want to use.
3. Enter your trading password if prompted.

What it does well

• Opening, modifying and closing trades, including stop-loss and take-profit orders.
• Viewing charts with standard indicators and drawing tools.
• Monitoring balance, equity, margin and history.

What it does not do

• Run Expert Advisors or most custom indicators.
• Offer the full range of desktop customisation, templates and profiles.
• Replace a desktop terminal for heavy multi-chart analysis.

On a shared computer, always log out at the end of the session, avoid saving passwords in the browser and clear the browser's history if others use the machine.

Logging In: Account Number, Password and Server

Most desktop problems are login problems. Understanding the three pieces of information you need will save time.

Account number

Each trading account has its own number, shown in the Personal Area. It is not your email address or Personal Area login.

Password types

• Trading (master) password: gives full access, including placing trades.
• Investor (read-only) password: lets someone view the account without trading. This is the only password you might ever share, for example with an accountant, and only if you trust them.
• Personal Area password: used for the website and app, separate from the trading password.

Server

Brokers run several MetaTrader servers, typically separate for demo and live accounts and sometimes for different entities or account types. The correct server is shown next to your account in the Personal Area and in the registration email. Choosing the wrong server is the most common cause of "Invalid account" errors.

If the server you need does not appear in the list, type its exact name into the server field or use the scan option in the login window.

First-Time Setup for a Productive Workspace

A fresh MetaTrader installation shows only a few symbols and default charts. Spending fifteen minutes on setup pays off every day afterwards.

Show the instruments you need

In the Market Watch window, right-click and choose "Show All" to list every available symbol, or "Symbols" to pick specific ones. Then hide those you never trade to keep the list manageable.

Check contract specifications

Right-click a symbol and choose "Specification". This shows contract size, minimum and maximum lot, margin requirements, swap rates and trading hours. Read it before trading any instrument for the first time, especially gold, indices and crypto, whose contract sizes differ from forex.

Build chart templates

Set up a chart with your preferred colours, indicators and timeframe, then right-click → Template → Save Template. You can apply it to any new chart with two clicks. Profiles (File → Profiles) save an entire layout of charts.

Enable one-click trading carefully

One-click trading lets you open positions directly from the chart. It is fast, but also easy to trigger by mistake. Enable it only once you are comfortable with the interface, and double-check the lot size field.

Set default lot size and stops

In the order window, set a sensible default volume so that you never accidentally open a large position. Get into the habit of attaching a stop-loss to every order.

Configure notifications

MetaTrader can send alerts by sound, email or push notification to the mobile MetaTrader app. Price alerts are useful for monitoring levels without staring at the screen.

Note the server time

Charts use the broker's server time, which may differ from your local time. Knowing the offset helps you identify session opens and the daily rollover correctly.

MT4 vs MT5 on Desktop

Both platforms are free, stable and widely used. The right choice depends on what you trade and which tools you already rely on.

Choose MT4 if

• You already own MT4 indicators or Expert Advisors that you depend on.
• You prefer a simpler, familiar interface.
• You follow tutorials or communities built around MT4.

Choose MT5 if

• You trade several asset classes and want a more modern platform.
• You want more timeframes, extra order types or depth of market.
• You develop and backtest strategies and want a faster, more realistic tester.
• You are starting fresh with no MT4 legacy tools.

There is no penalty for trying both. Open a demo account on each and spend a week with them before deciding.

Accounts and Costs You Can Trade From Your PC

All of JustMarkets' main account types are available on both MT4 and MT5, according to the broker's published specifications. The table summarises the headline figures at the time of writing; always confirm the current numbers.

Leverage of up to 1:3000 is advertised for eligible clients of the offshore entities on some instruments, and swap-free status is available on these account types subject to conditions. A desktop terminal makes it easy to compare accounts directly: open demo accounts of two types, put the same symbol side by side and watch the live spreads. To see the full, current specifications before you open anything, review the platform and account details on JustMarkets.com.

If you trade very actively, our article on JustMarkets' scalping rules works through the cost differences between Pro and Raw Spread with hypothetical numbers.

Funding from your PC

Deposits and withdrawals are handled in the Personal Area, not in MetaTrader. JustMarkets offers bank cards, e-wallets, local payment methods, crypto and bank wires depending on your country, and says it does not charge its own deposit or withdrawal fees, although payment providers may. Published account currencies include USD, EUR, GBP, JPY and several regional currencies. Funds appear in the terminal once credited to the trading account.

Expert Advisors, Indicators and VPS

One of the main reasons to use a PC rather than a phone is automation and custom tools.

Installing an indicator or EA

1. In MetaTrader, choose File → Open Data Folder.
2. Open MQL4 (for MT4) or MQL5 (for MT5), then the Indicators or Experts folder.
3. Copy the .ex4/.mq4 or .ex5/.mq5 file into the correct folder.
4. Restart the terminal or right-click in the Navigator window and choose Refresh.
5. Drag the indicator or EA onto a chart and review its settings.
6. For EAs, enable Algo Trading (MT5) or AutoTrading (MT4) on the toolbar.

Rules on automated trading

JustMarkets' client agreement prohibits robots and practices aimed at manipulation, non-market or risk-free trading, latency or off-market-quote exploitation and similar abuses, and gives the company discretion over other automated practices. Use EAs whose logic you understand, and avoid any marketed as "arbitrage" or "guaranteed".

Testing first

Use the Strategy Tester (View → Strategy Tester) to backtest an EA, then run it on a demo account for weeks before going live. Backtests rarely capture real spreads and slippage perfectly.

Virtual private servers

An EA only runs while the terminal is open and connected. If your PC sleeps, restarts or loses internet, the EA stops. A VPS keeps MetaTrader running around the clock in a data centre. MetaTrader also offers a built-in virtual hosting service that can be rented from inside the platform. Weigh the cost against how much you rely on automation.

Running Several Terminals and Monitors

More than one account

Each MetaTrader terminal logs in to one account at a time. You can switch accounts quickly through the Navigator, but to watch several accounts simultaneously you need several terminal installations.

How to install multiple copies

• Run the installer again and, in the settings step, choose a different installation folder name, for example "MT4 JustMarkets 2".
• Each copy keeps its own settings, templates and EAs.
• Rename shortcuts clearly so you never trade on the wrong account by mistake.

Note that JustMarkets' agreement lists operating multiple accounts with identical trading models on the same device among prohibited patterns in certain contexts. Running separate accounts for genuinely different strategies is common, but do not use multiple accounts to create risk-free or offsetting positions.

Multiple monitors

Charts can be detached from the main window and dragged to a second screen (in MT5, right-click the chart tab and choose "Undock"). A common layout is analysis charts on one screen and the terminal, order window and Market Watch on the other.

Security: Safe Downloads and Account Protection

Trading platforms are a target for malware because they give access to money. A few habits protect you.

Download only from official sources

• Use the platforms page on the official JustMarkets website, which you reach by typing the address yourself.
• Alternatively, use the official MetaQuotes website and search for JustMarkets' server in the login window.
• Never install a "JustMarkets PC app" sent through WhatsApp, Telegram, email attachments or file-sharing links.
• Be wary of search adverts that lead to look-alike domains.

Recognise fake installers

Fraudsters distribute modified MetaTrader installers or fake "trading apps" that capture logins or show fabricated balances. Warning signs include unusual file names, installers much larger or smaller than expected, requests to disable antivirus software, and apps that ask you to deposit to a wallet address shown inside the app rather than through the broker's Personal Area.

Protect your passwords

• Use a unique, strong password for the Personal Area and different passwords for trading accounts.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the Personal Area where offered.
• Do not tick "save password" on shared computers.
• Never give your trading password to "account managers", signal sellers or anyone claiming to be support. Genuine staff do not need it.

Keep software updated

MetaTrader updates itself automatically when connected. Keep your operating system and antivirus up to date as well. Outdated systems are far easier to compromise.

Lock your screen

If you trade on a computer others can access, lock the screen when you step away. An open terminal with one-click trading enabled is an invitation for accidents.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

If none of these solves the issue, contact JustMarkets support through the official website or app, describing the error message, platform, operating system and account type.

Desktop vs Web vs Mobile

Most traders end up using more than one. Here is how they compare for typical tasks.

A common pattern is to analyse and plan on desktop, monitor on mobile, and fall back to the WebTrader when away from your own computer.

A Hypothetical Desktop Workflow

To make this concrete, here is an invented example of how one trader might use a PC setup. All numbers are hypothetical.

The setup

Sara installs MT5 on her Windows laptop, opens a Standard demo and a Raw Spread demo, and connects a second monitor. She saves a template with two moving averages and an ATR indicator, and a profile with EUR/USD, GBP/USD, gold and a US index on four charts.

Planning a trade

On the daily chart she spots EUR/USD approaching a level she is watching. She switches to the 1-hour chart, plans a buy at 1.0850 with a stop at 1.0820 (30 pips) and a target at 1.0910 (60 pips).

Sizing the position

Her live account balance is $3,000 and she risks 1% per trade, or $30. With a pip value of about $10 per standard lot, the size is $30 ÷ (30 × $10) = 0.10 lots. She enters the order as a Buy Limit with the stop and target attached.

Checking margin

At a hypothetical leverage of 1:500, 0.10 lots of EUR/USD (notional about $10,850) needs roughly $22 of margin. Her margin level would be very high, far from the 40% margin call or 20% stop-out. The terminal's Trade tab shows balance, equity, margin and free margin in real time, so she can confirm this before and after entry.

Monitoring

She sets a price alert at 1.0880 that pushes a notification to the MetaTrader mobile app, then closes the laptop. The stop and target sit on the server, so they work even with her PC off.

Reviewing

At the end of the week she exports her history from the terminal's History tab to review her trades and compare the spreads she paid on the Standard and Raw Spread demos.

Nothing in this workflow depends on high leverage. The PC simply makes planning, sizing and reviewing easier.

Remember: The Platform Is Not the Regulator

Downloading MetaTrader tells you nothing about how well your money is protected. The same software is used by hundreds of brokers, good and bad. What matters is the legal entity holding your account and its regulator.

JustMarkets operates through several companies, with regulators including the Seychelles FSA, CySEC in Cyprus, the FSCA in South Africa, the FSC in Mauritius and the FSC of the British Virgin Islands. Most clients outside Europe are served by an offshore entity. Our article on where JustMarkets comes from explains the structure, and country guides such as Indonesia, Mongolia and Saudi Arabia explain how local rules apply.

Before you trade live from your new desktop setup, confirm which entity holds your account, check it on the regulator's register and read the client agreement.

Keyboard Shortcuts That Save Time on Desktop

A keyboard is one of the biggest advantages of trading on a PC. These standard MetaTrader shortcuts work in both MT4 and MT5 in most versions; the full list is in the platform's built-in help.

Learn a handful at a time. The ones most traders use daily are F9 for new orders, Ctrl + T for the terminal and Ctrl + E, which is also a quick emergency switch to stop all EAs from opening new trades.

Backing Up and Moving Your Setup to a New PC

After weeks of customising templates, profiles and indicators, losing them to a broken laptop is painful. MetaTrader stores almost everything in its data folder, so backing up is simple.

What to back up

• Templates: the "templates" folder inside the data folder.
• Profiles: the "profiles" folder, which holds your chart layouts.
• Indicators and EAs: the MQL4 or MQL5 folder, including any source files you wrote.
• Your own notes: account numbers and server names (but never store passwords in plain text files).

How to move to a new computer

1. On the old PC, open File → Open Data Folder and copy the folders listed above to an external drive or a private cloud folder.
2. On the new PC, download a fresh installer from the official JustMarkets platforms page and install it.
3. Open the new terminal's data folder and paste the backed-up folders into the same locations.
4. Restart the terminal and log in again with your account number, trading password and server.
5. Check that templates, profiles and tools load correctly on a demo account before trading live.

Your trade history and open positions are stored on the broker's server, not on your PC, so they will appear automatically once you log in. Only your local customisations need backing up.

When to reinstall instead

If a terminal has become unstable, a clean reinstall from the official site, followed by restoring only your templates, profiles and trusted tools, is often faster than troubleshooting. It is also a good moment to remove indicators and EAs you no longer use.

Desktop Checklist Before You Trade Live

Before switching from demo to a funded account on your new PC setup, work through this list. It takes ten minutes and prevents the most common and costly mistakes.

1. Confirm the source. The terminal was downloaded from the official JustMarkets platforms page or MetaQuotes, not from a link someone sent you.
2. Check the account. The account number in the Navigator matches the live account in your Personal Area, and the title bar shows the live server rather than demo.
3. Review the entity. You know which JustMarkets company holds the account and have looked it up on the regulator's register.
4. Set default volume. The order window opens with a small default lot size suited to your balance.
5. Test a stop-loss. Place and modify a stop on a tiny position to confirm you understand the order window.
6. Disable unneeded EAs. Remove any demo robots from live charts and check the automated trading button status.
7. Check leverage. You know the leverage set on the account and how it affects margin on the instruments you plan to trade.
8. Secure access. The Personal Area has two-factor authentication where offered, and the trading password is not saved on shared devices.
9. Know the exit route. You have read how withdrawals work in the Personal Area and ideally tested a small one.
10. Write your limits down. A maximum risk per trade and a daily loss limit are noted somewhere you will see them.

Only when every item is ticked should you trade real money from the desktop. The software makes trading faster; this list makes sure it is not faster at losing.

📌 Important: CFD Risk Warning and Disclosure

CFDs and forex are complex instruments traded on margin, and leverage means you can lose money rapidly. Many retail traders lose money when trading CFDs. Before you trade, make sure you understand how CFDs, leverage and margin work, and consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Past performance and hypothetical examples are not reliable indicators of future results.
