Broker «Just2Trade» — rating, information, review
Description
Just2Trade is an international brokerage brand owned by the Cyprus investment firm J2T Services Ltd (formerly Lime Trading (CY) Ltd). The company is registered in Cyprus under HE 341520 and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), licence No. 281/15.
Just2Trade provides access to international financial markets and a broad range of instruments, including stocks, ETFs, currencies, futures and other products. MetaTrader 5 is a principal trading platform, with specialist solutions available for particular instruments and categories of clients.
For access to the US market, Just2Trade uses the infrastructure of the US brokerage business Lime Financial / Lime Trading Corp. The Cyprus company remains the contractual entity for its own clients; access through a US broker does not automatically give every Cyprus account the same regulatory protections as a direct US brokerage account.
Just2Trade focuses on technology and multi-market access for international investors and active traders. Its international presence spans Europe, North America and Asia; its reported client base exceeds 160,000 across 130 countries.
Account availability depends on residence, citizenship and applicable restrictions. International market access does not mean that accounts are available in every country. Check eligibility before applying.
