JMarkets is a forex and CFD broker established in 2025 and headquartered in Port Vila, operating under the supervision of the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). The broker appears to have a special focus on the Japanese market, with things like Japanese language support and a localized website for Japan.
Despite being a young company, the broker positions itself as a modern STP/ECN provider that offers flexible trading conditions designed to appeal to a wide range of traders from all around the world. Its offshore regulatory status allows the broker to offer trading conditions that are far more lenient than those permitted in tightly regulated “onshore” jurisdictions like Australia or the EU. This includes exceptionally high leverage and the opportunity to fund trading accounts with crypto.
Clients at JMarkets can trade using either MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5), giving traders a familiar environment regardless of their experience level. Both of these platforms remain extremely popular among retail forex traders to this day, despite having been launched all the way back in 2005 and 2010, respectively. As usual, MetaTrader can be used in its original downloadable version for Windows and Mac, as well as in its web version and as mobile apps for Apple and Android devices.
One of JMarkets' key selling points is its extremely high leverage, offering up to 1:3000 depending on account type. This will naturally attract high-risk traders and those looking to maximize potential returns on smaller deposits, but it also comes with increased risk of ruin. The minimum deposit requirement of $10 further indicates that the broker is catering to traders who want to start small or test trading strategies with little capital.
In terms of instruments, the broker offers a very comprehensive selection. Forex traders have access to more than 60 currency pairs, covering major, minor, and some exotic combinations. Crypto traders, meanwhile, can choose from over 20 of the most commonly traded crypto pairs. The broker also lists 13 index CFDs, 9 metals, 3 energy markets, and a large selection of 150+ stock CFDs based mainly on major US-listed companies.
JMarkets offers three types of trading accounts for each of the two platforms it supports:
MetaTrader 4:
– Standard, with a $10 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.3 pips and no commissions
– Pro, with a $200 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.1 pips and no commissions
– Raw spread, with a $200 minimum deposit, spreads from 0 pips and no commissions
MetaTrader 5:
– Standard, with a $10 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.3 pips and commissions of $3 per lot per side
– Pro, with a $200 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.1 pips and no commissions
– Raw spread, with a $200 minimum deposit, spreads from 0 pips and commissions of $3 per lot per side
As far as funding methods go, JMarkets provides a broad range, including traditional credit card payments with Visa and MasterCard, the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT), as well as certain e-wallets like SticPay and BitWallet. The broker does not charge any fees for processing deposits or withdrawals.
Overall, JMarkets combines aggressive trading conditions, very accessible minimum deposits, and a wide instrument range, making it attractive for a wide range of traders. Still, with local language support and a localized website for Japan (and no other countries), JMarkets will probably be particularly popular among Japanese traders. However, it's important to remind potential clients of the importance of doing due diligence on forex brokers, especially when they are based and regulated entirely offshore as is the case here.
