How to Link Your JustMarkets Account to MT5: Step-by-Step Guide 2026

To link your JustMarkets account to MT5, you need three things from your Personal Area: an MT5 trading account number (your login), that account's trading password, and the exact server name assigned to it. In MetaTrader 5, open the File menu, choose to open an account or log in to a trade account, search for JustMarkets (the company appears as Just Global Markets Ltd), select the server shown in your Personal Area, choose to connect with an existing trade account, and enter the login and password. Once connected, your balance appears in the Navigator and the connection indicator in the bottom-right corner shows live data.

The steps are quick, but the most common problems come from mixing things up: an MT4 account number typed into MT5, a Personal Area password used instead of the trading password, or a demo account pointed at a live server. This guide explains how JustMarkets accounts relate to MT5, gives step-by-step instructions for Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone and the web, and walks through the fixes for every error you are likely to see.

Platform screens differ slightly by MT5 version and language. Where wording varies, we describe what to look for rather than inventing exact labels.

If you do not have a JustMarkets account yet, you will need one before MT5 can connect. You can get your JustMarkets MT5 login details by signing up and create an MT5 trading account inside the Personal Area.

How to Link Your JustMarkets Account to MT5: Quick Steps

1. Create or locate an MT5 trading account in your JustMarkets Personal Area (My accounts). Note its number and server.
2. Confirm or reset the trading password for that account.
3. Install MetaTrader 5 from the JustMarkets platforms page or your device's official app store, or open the web terminal.
4. In MT5, open the account dialog (File, then Open an Account, or File, then Login to Trade Account).
5. Search "JustMarkets" and select the server that matches your Personal Area exactly.
6. Choose to connect to an existing trade account, enter the login and password, and tick "save password" if you want MT5 to remember it.
7. Check the connection in the status bar and confirm your balance in the Navigator and Toolbox.

How JustMarkets Accounts and MT5 Fit Together

A frequent source of confusion is the word "account". JustMarkets uses several layers, and MT5 connects to only one of them.

Personal Area

Your Personal Area is your client profile on justmarkets.com and in the JustMarkets app. You log in with your email and Personal Area password. It is where you verify, deposit, withdraw and create trading accounts. MetaTrader 5 does not log in to the Personal Area.

Trading account

A trading account is a numbered account on a specific platform (MT4 or MT5) and server. This is what MT5 connects to. The JustMarkets help centre explains that the login is the trading account number, found in the Personal Area, and that you set the password manually when creating the trading account.

Platform and server

Every trading account belongs to one platform. An MT4 account cannot be opened in MT5, and an MT5 account cannot be opened in MT4. Each account also sits on a particular server. JustMarkets runs several servers; server names visible in MetaQuotes' web terminal for the broker include JustMarkets-Demo, JustMarkets-Live and further numbered live servers such as JustMarkets-Live2. Always use the one your Personal Area shows for your account.

Which account types are available on MT5?

According to the JustMarkets quick-start FAQ, Standard, Pro and Raw Spread are available on MT5, while MT4 additionally offers Standard Cent. If you want a cent account, you will need MT4. Key conditions from the official account comparison:

If you are wondering which entity your account belongs to (and therefore which documents and regulator apply), see our guide on which country JustMarkets is from.

Linking a Demo Account vs a Live Account

The linking steps are identical for demo and live MT5 accounts, but a few details differ. Getting them right avoids the classic "it works on demo but not live" problem.

A sensible routine is to link a demo first, rehearse the whole connection and order process, then link the live account using the same steps. If the live connection fails while the demo works, the difference is almost always the server or the password.

Step 1: Create an MT5 Trading Account in the Personal Area

If you already have an MT5 account, skip to Step 2. If your existing account is MT4, you need a new MT5 account; you cannot convert or "link" an MT4 account to MT5.

Creating a live MT5 account

1. Log in to the Personal Area on the official site or app.
2. Open "My accounts" and choose to open a new account under the real accounts section.
3. Select MetaTrader 5 as the platform and choose the account type (Standard, Pro or Raw Spread).
4. Choose the account currency and leverage, and set a trading password.
5. Confirm. The new account appears in your list with its number and server.

Creating a demo MT5 account

The official demo guide describes the process: My accounts, the Demo tab, Open new account, select the account type on the preferred platform page and click "Try demo", choose currency and leverage, set a password of 6 to 15 symbols including at least one Latin letter and one digit, set the balance and click "Create account".

Tips

• Write down the account number and server straight away.
• Use a password manager rather than reusing your Personal Area password.
• If you plan to deposit, remember that funds are added to a specific trading account; choose the MT5 account when depositing.

Step 2: Confirm Your Trading Password

Most "invalid account" errors come down to the password. Make sure you know which one you need.

The official quick-start FAQ notes that, for the account opened at registration, the password you entered during registration is used for the Personal Area and the MT terminal. For accounts you create later, you set a separate password during creation. If in doubt, change the trading password from the account's menu in the Personal Area and use the new one.

Tip: passwords are case-sensitive, and a stray space copied from an email will cause a failure. Type the password manually if pasting does not work.

Step 3: Install MetaTrader 5

JustMarkets links to MT5 downloads for PC, Android and iPhone, plus a web trader, on its quick-start page. Downloading from the broker's page or the official app store ensures you get the genuine terminal.

• Windows: download the installer from the JustMarkets platforms page and run it. Our guide on downloading JustMarkets on PC covers the desktop setup in detail.
• Android: install MetaTrader 5 from Google Play.
• iPhone and iPad: install MetaTrader 5 from the App Store.
• macOS: MetaQuotes provides MT5 for Mac; check the JustMarkets platforms page for the current recommended method.
• Browser: use the web terminal linked from JustMarkets if you cannot install software.

A broker-branded installer may come pre-configured with the JustMarkets servers, which saves a search step. A generic MetaQuotes installation works too; you simply search for the broker.

For direct access to the official downloads, you can see JustMarkets' MT5 platform downloads on the broker's site before installing.

Step 4: Connect on Desktop (Windows and macOS)

Method A: File, then Open an Account

1. Open MT5. Click File, then Open an Account.
2. In the search box, type JustMarkets. The help centre advises searching for Just Global Markets Ltd to find all servers. Press Enter or click to search.
3. Select the server that exactly matches your Personal Area (for example a JustMarkets live server or JustMarkets-Demo), then click Next.
4. Choose the option to connect with an existing trade account.
5. Enter your Login (account number) and Password (trading password). Tick Save password if this is your own private computer.
6. Click Finish.

Method B: File, then Login to Trade Account

1. Click File, then Login to Trade Account.
2. Enter the login and password.
3. Pick the server from the drop-down. If it is missing, use Method A once to search for it, after which it appears in the list.
4. Click OK.

Confirming the connection

• The bottom-right status bar shows connection activity rather than "No connection" or "Invalid account".
• The Navigator (Ctrl+N) lists your account under Accounts with the JustMarkets server name.
• The Toolbox (Ctrl+T) Trade tab shows your balance, equity and free margin.
• Market Watch prices update in real time during market hours.

Adding several JustMarkets accounts

You can save several accounts in one MT5 installation and switch between them by double-clicking in the Navigator. Only one account is active at a time per terminal window. If you need two accounts trading simultaneously, some traders install MT5 in a second folder; check that this suits your setup.

Step 5: Connect on Mobile (Android and iPhone)

Android

1. Open MetaTrader 5 and open the main menu.
2. Go to account management and tap the option to add a new account.
3. Search for JustMarkets or Just Global Markets.
4. Select your server, then choose to log in to an existing account.
5. Enter login and trading password, and sign in.

iPhone and iPad

1. Open MetaTrader 5 and go to Settings.
2. Tap the option to add a new account.
3. Search for the broker, select the server that matches your Personal Area, and choose to log in to an existing account.
4. Enter the login and trading password and sign in.

Exact labels vary by app version. If you cannot see an "add account" option, look in the account or settings screen for the list of saved accounts; the add button is usually there.

Mobile tips

• Enable the device's screen lock if you save the password in the app.
• A weak mobile connection can cause intermittent disconnections; switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to test.
• The JustMarkets app is a separate trading app with Personal Area features; you do not need it to use MT5, but it is handy for deposits and account management.

Step 6: Connect Through the Web Terminal

If you cannot install software, open the MT5 web terminal linked from the JustMarkets quick-start or platforms page.

1. Open the web terminal in an up-to-date browser.
2. When the login window appears, enter your MT5 login and trading password.
3. Choose the server matching your Personal Area. The JustMarkets MT5 web terminal page describes choosing between live and demo servers.
4. Sign in. Charts, Market Watch and the trade panel load in the browser.

On shared computers, never let the browser save your password, and log out when you finish.

Using One MT5 Account on Several Devices

You can link the same JustMarkets MT5 account to your PC, phone and web terminal. Each device logs in with the same number, password and server, and they all show the same positions, because the account lives on the broker's server rather than on any device.

What to expect

• A trade opened on your phone appears on your desktop terminal within moments.
• Closing a position on one device closes it everywhere.
• Charts, templates, indicators and expert advisors are stored per device, not per account, so your desktop layout does not appear on mobile automatically.
• An expert advisor runs only on the terminal where it is attached, and only while that terminal is open and connected.

Reconnecting after a password change

If you change the trading password in the Personal Area, every device that saved the old password will fail to connect with an authorization error. Update the password on each device: on desktop, use File, then Login to Trade Account and enter the new password; on mobile, remove the saved account and add it again, or edit its saved password where the app allows. Do this immediately after changing the password, especially on any device running an expert advisor, so a strategy is not left disconnected with open positions.

Keeping track of logins

Keep a simple private note of which devices hold which accounts. If a phone is lost, you will know exactly which passwords to change in the Personal Area.

Your First 15 Minutes After Linking MT5

Connecting is only the start. A short setup routine prevents expensive surprises on your first trade.

1. Show the instruments you need

Market Watch may display only a few symbols at first. Right-click in Market Watch and choose to show all symbols, or use the Symbols dialog to add specific instruments. Hide those you do not trade to keep the list manageable.

2. Read the contract specification

Right-click a symbol and open its specification. Check the contract size, minimum and maximum volume, volume step, trading hours and swap details. The official account comparison lists a minimum lot of 0.01 and a maximum of 100 lots on Standard, Pro and Raw Spread, but each instrument's own specification is what applies.

3. Confirm your leverage and margin

Your leverage was chosen when you created the account and can be changed in the Personal Area. Open a small test position (on demo first, ideally) and look at the margin used in the Toolbox, so you understand how much each lot ties up.

4. Be careful with one-click trading

MT5's one-click trading lets you open positions directly from the chart. It is fast, but a mis-click opens a real trade. Leave it off until you are comfortable with the platform.

5. Set up a chart template

Arrange the timeframes, indicators and colours you use and save them as a template so every new chart looks the same. This reduces errors when switching instruments.

6. Check the account type in the terminal

The Toolbox and the account information in the Navigator show the account's details. MT5 supports both hedging and netting account modes; check which applies to your account before you plan to hold opposite positions on the same symbol. We could not confirm on an official JustMarkets page which mode every MT5 account uses, so verify in your own terminal.

7. Place stop-loss and take-profit habitually

The official quick-start guidance recommends using Stop Loss and Take Profit orders to control risk. Make them part of every order ticket.

Funding the Account You Linked

A linked MT5 account with no balance cannot trade live. Funds go into a specific trading account, so select the MT5 account during the deposit.

1. Log in to the Personal Area.
2. Go to Funds, then Deposit, as described on the official site.
3. Choose the MT5 trading account you just linked.
4. Select a payment method and check its minimum, maximum and typical processing time.
5. Enter the amount and confirm. JustMarkets says it processes deposits on its side quickly, though payment provider delays are possible.

If your money is in a different account, use an internal transfer in the Personal Area to move it to the MT5 account. Your MT5 balance should update shortly afterwards; if it does not, check that MT5 is connected to the same account number you funded.

JustMarkets advertises zero fees on deposits and withdrawals from its side, but your bank or payment provider may charge its own fees or apply currency conversion. Check before funding.

Understanding Margin on Your Linked MT5 Account

Once your account is live in MT5, the Toolbox shows balance, equity, margin, free margin and margin level. These numbers decide when JustMarkets warns you and when it closes positions.

• Balance: your account funds excluding open trades.
• Equity: balance plus or minus the floating result of open positions.
• Margin: funds set aside to keep current positions open.
• Free margin: equity minus margin; what is available for new positions.
• Margin level: equity divided by margin, as a percentage.

Hypothetical calculation

This example is hypothetical and simplified, ignoring spreads and swaps.

In this simplified case, the position would need to lose roughly $456 before a margin call, which on 0.5 lot is around 91 pips. A larger lot size shrinks that distance proportionally. Checking these figures right after linking MT5 helps you size positions sensibly. Real margin requirements depend on the instrument, leverage rules and any limits set by JustMarkets, so always read the margin figure MT5 actually shows.

Hypothetical Walkthroughs

These examples are hypothetical and use made-up account numbers.

Hypothetical example 1: the MT4 number in MT5

Nadia registered and received a trading account by email, then installed MT5 and tried to log in. MT5 kept saying "Invalid account". In her Personal Area she noticed the account was MT4. She opened a new MT5 Standard account (number 2xxxxxxx on a live server), set its password, and connected immediately. Her MT4 account still exists and works in MT4.

Hypothetical example 2: the wrong server

James had the right number and password but picked the first JustMarkets live server in the list. His account was on a different numbered live server. He checked the Personal Area, selected the exact server, and the connection succeeded.

Hypothetical example 3: the investor password

Aiko logged in successfully but every order button was greyed out. She had used the investor password, which gives read-only access. Logging in again with the master trading password restored trading.

Hypothetical example 4: the trader who scalps

Ben trades very short-term and wanted the lowest raw spread, so he opened a Raw Spread MT5 account and connected it alongside his Standard account to compare costs on identical trades. If you trade like Ben, read our guide on JustMarkets' scalping rules before you start.

Troubleshooting MT5 Connection Problems

The fixes below draw on the JustMarkets help centre's guidance for MetaTrader errors, which covers the same problems on MT4 and MT5.

"Invalid account" or "Authorization failed"

• Check the account number and password; remember the password is case-sensitive.
• Make sure the account is active in the Personal Area (not archived).
• Confirm the server is the one shown with your account.
• Confirm the account is an MT5 account.
• Change the trading password in the Personal Area and try the new one.

"No connection"

• Check your internet connection; restart the router if needed.
• Restart MT5 and, if necessary, your computer.
• Temporarily check whether antivirus or firewall software is blocking MT5.
• Click the connection status in the bottom-right corner and choose Rescan servers.
• Try another device or network to see whether the problem is local.

"Cannot find the server"

Use File, then Open an Account, and search for Just Global Markets Ltd to rescan and list all servers, as the help centre recommends. Then log in again.

"Old version" or terminal will not update

Reinstall MT5 from the official JustMarkets page or app store. Your saved account details may need to be re-entered.

My account was archived

The client agreement allows the company to archive MT5 accounts after more than 7 calendar days without a login if the balance is zero or less and there are no open orders. Check the archived list in the Personal Area. Reactivation may be requested but is not guaranteed; creating a new MT5 account is often faster.

Trading buttons are greyed out

You may be logged in with the investor password, the market may be closed, or the instrument may be outside trading hours. Check the symbol's specification in Market Watch.

Balance shows zero after linking

Deposits go to a specific trading account. If you funded a different account, use an internal transfer in the Personal Area to move funds to the MT5 account.

Common Mistakes When Linking JustMarkets to MT5

1. Trying to link an MT4 account to MT5. They are separate platforms; open an MT5 account.
2. Using the Personal Area password by default. Use the trading password set for that specific account.
3. Selecting a server from memory. Always copy the server name shown in the Personal Area.
4. Mixing demo and live. Demo accounts belong on the demo server; live accounts on a live server.
5. Downloading MT5 from unofficial sites. Use the broker page or official app stores.
6. Saving the password on a shared device. Anyone with access could trade your account.
7. Depositing into the wrong account. Check the account number when funding.
8. Ignoring margin levels after connecting. Margin call is 40% and stop-out 20%; watch the margin level in the Toolbox.

Moving From MT4 to MT5: What Changes

Many people searching how to link a JustMarkets account to MT5 are moving from MT4. The switch is simple, but a few things do not carry over.

Practical migration plan

1. Open an MT5 demo first and rebuild your workspace there.
2. Test any MQL5 expert advisors on the demo before using them live.
3. When comfortable, open a live MT5 account and transfer a portion of funds.
4. Close MT4 positions only when you are ready, then move the remaining funds.
5. Keep the MT4 account empty, or let it archive under the inactivity rules, which for MT4 apply after 90 days without a login if the balance is zero and no orders are open.

Before using automated strategies live, read the client agreement's prohibited practices carefully, because it restricts certain automated and arbitrage-style approaches. Local rules matter too; traders in Turkey, for example, should read our guide on whether JustMarkets is legal in Turkey before opening a live account.

Device-by-Device Linking Checklist

Whichever device you use, the three credentials never change: account number, trading password and server. If one device connects and another does not, compare exactly what you typed on each.

MT5 Features Worth Knowing Once You're Connected

MetaTrader 5 includes several tools that are easy to miss. These are standard MetaQuotes features; availability of data for each instrument depends on the broker's feed.

• More timeframes: MT5 offers 21 chart timeframes, compared with 9 in MT4, including minute and hour intervals between the standard ones.
• Depth of Market: a view of prices and volumes, where the broker provides it for an instrument.
• Economic calendar: built into the terminal, useful for spotting high-impact releases before trading.
• Additional pending order types: MT5 adds Buy Stop Limit and Sell Stop Limit orders.
• Strategy Tester: multi-threaded backtesting for MQL5 expert advisors, useful for testing ideas on historical data.
• Alerts and notifications: price alerts on desktop, with optional push notifications to the mobile app via a MetaQuotes ID.

None of these tools change the risk of trading. They help you plan and execute more precisely, but a well-tested strategy with poor risk management will still lose money.

MT5 Compared With the Alternatives at JustMarkets

JustMarkets offers MT4, MT5 and its own mobile app. Linking to MT5 is one option among several.

The official quick-start FAQ says MT5 offers significant improvements in copy trading, mobile trading and other features. If you rely on an MT4-only indicator or expert advisor, keep an MT4 account; otherwise MT5 is the more modern choice. Before using automated strategies live, read the prohibited-practices section of the client agreement.

Security Settings After You Link MT5

• Use unique passwords for the Personal Area and each trading account.
• Share only the investor password if you want someone to view your account, for example a mentor. Never share the master password.
• Enable OTP if your MT5 app offers it. MetaQuotes provides one-time password features in some versions; check the settings.
• Log out on shared devices and remove saved accounts from the Navigator.
• Watch for phishing. JustMarkets will not ask for your trading password by email or chat.

Is it safe to save my password in MT5?

On a personal, locked device it is generally fine. On shared devices, do not save it.

Can I change leverage after linking MT5?

Leverage is managed in the Personal Area rather than inside MT5. Change it there, then check the new margin figures in the MT5 Toolbox.

Why do my MT5 prices differ slightly from another website?

Conclusion: Linking Your JustMarkets Account to MT5 Correctly

When you link your JustMarkets account to MT5, the process is straightforward once you know which "account" MT5 needs. It connects to an MT5 trading account, not to your Personal Area, using that account's number, its trading password and the exact server shown in your Personal Area. Create an MT5 account if you only have MT4, confirm the password, search for JustMarkets or Just Global Markets Ltd in MT5, select the right server, and connect with your existing trade account.

If anything goes wrong, check the same three things in order: platform, password, server. Those three account for almost every connection failure. Then protect the account with unique passwords and careful device habits, and manage your risk with the margin level in mind.

🔥 Your next move: if you are ready to trade on MetaTrader 5, open a JustMarkets MT5 account now in the Personal Area and connect it using the steps above.

📌 Important: CFD Risk Warning and Disclosure

Contracts for difference (CFDs) and leveraged forex products are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly because of leverage. A large share of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Before you trade, make sure you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Bonuses and promotional credits do not reduce this risk; they can encourage larger positions than you would otherwise open. Past performance and hypothetical examples are not reliable indicators of future results.

Broker terms, promotions, regulatory status and platform features change; always confirm the current details on the broker's official website and in your own Personal Area documents, and seek independent professional advice if you are unsure.
