The Radar Chart below highlights how the brokers stack up against each other across various metrics. The highest score a broker can receive in each area is 5.
At FxScouts, we help traders find the broker that suits their trading needs. In many cases, the best way to achieve this is to compare brokers side-by-side.
To compare Tickmill and JustMarkets, we used the same factors we use when reviewing brokers: The trust and regulation of the broker, the trading platform, the costs and trading conditions, and the level of education and market analysis available at the broker.
Trust and regulation are some of the most important factors to consider when choosing a Forex broker. Trust in the Forex trading business is almost entirely founded upon regulation. We spend many hours evaluating the safety of each broker by delving into their fine print and confirming each one of their regulatory licences on the online registers. The more top-tier authorities a broker is regulated by, the higher its trust rating.
In our comparison, we found that Tickmill holds two Tier 1 and one Tier 2 licences, and JustMarkets holds one Tier 1 and no Tier 2 licences.
Based on these findings, Tickmill earned a higher trust rating than JustMarkets.
Another important aspect we consider when comparing brokers is the cost of trading. When evaluating trading costs, we always consider the minimum deposit required to open an account and the ongoing trading costs, including the spreads and commissions. When calculating trading costs, we measure the cost to trade one lot of EUR/USD using the broker’s account with the lowest minimum deposit. The cost includes both the spread and any commission charged.
Not all brokers publish their trading costs, so we often open accounts and trade on their platforms to verify the spreads and commissions. Based on our reviews, we found that Tickmill has overall lower trading costs than JustMarkets.
Traders want Forex brokers to offer them a choice of trading platforms, so we give brokers who offer multiple platforms higher ratings. Trading platforms we consider include MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader and proprietary mobile and web-based platforms.

Copy trading is a great option for beginner traders who can’t trade full-time or lack experience with Forex trading. In this case both JustMarkets and Tickmill offer copy trading.
A variety of CFD instruments – and a large range of CFDs for each instrument category allow traders more opportunities for profitable trading. The best brokers will have thousands of CFDs to trade, covering all these instrument categories. We found that JustMarkets offers a greater range and depth of instruments to trade than Tickmill. JustMarkets offers 65 Forex pairs to trade and Tickmill offers 62 Forex pairs to trade.
In this case, JustMarkets offers 14 cryptocurrencies while Tickmill offers 8 cryptocurrencies. So if you want to trade cryptocurrencies, we advise trading with JustMarkets.
Although brokers may have reasonable trading fees, many traders are caught out by the high non-trading fees charged by some brokers, including deposits and withdrawals. Traders want to be able to deposit and withdraw funds quickly and cheaply. Most brokers have multiple funding methods with zero fees for making deposits, but some brokers make it more expensive and take longer to process withdrawals.
We rate brokers more highly that process withdrawals within 24 hours by multiple withdrawal methods and without charging processing fees. We found that neither JustMarkets nor Tickmill charges a withdrawal fee. Overall, Tickmill has better deposit and withdrawal processes than JustMarkets.
We often find that brokers offer very little in the way of educational materials, forcing traders to use other third-party sites or self-educate elsewhere. Beginner traders need well-structured, well-presented materials in multiple formats to get a good start at trading. More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas.
Tickmill has better educational support than JustMarkets. Both JustMarkets and Tickmill offer educational support for more experienced traders.
To successfully predict the price movements of an instrument, traders will need access to frequent market research and analysis. We find that research and market analysis are always better when they are produced in-house and updated frequently. Third-party resources don’t show the same expertise in trading ideas, so we place a strong emphasis on frequent in-house updates. Some brokers also often offer interactive webinars where traders can learn from experts in the field.
We found that Tickmill offers better research analysis than JustMarkets and that both JustMarkets and Tickmill offer frequent webinars.
A trustworthy broker with MT4 and MT5 support and one of the lowest-cost trading accounts in the industry, Tickmill provides a perfect trading environment for serious beginners and more experienced traders. However, Australian traders may be concerned that they will be onboarded through Tickmill's Seychelles-based entity, which provides less regulatory oversight than Tickmill's other entities.
With two account types on offer, the Raw has market-leading trading conditions, leaving the fixed-fee Classic Account feeling out of place. The Raw account has a spread from 0 pips on the EUR/USD, a 100 USD minimum deposit, and a commission of 6 USD (round turn) per 1 lot traded. The commission-free Classic Account, also with a 100 USD minimum deposit, has a spread of 1.6 pips (EUR/USD), which is higher than the industry average.
Overall, while Tickmill’s standard account is more expensive than other similar brokers, the low-cost commission account makes it an excellent choice of broker for MetaTrader users looking for a new broker.
Founded in 2012, JustMarkets (formerly JustForex) is a multi-asset broker we cannot recommend. Our main concern is that JustMarkets' regulatory oversight is weak compared to other similar brokers. We have also received multiple reports of traders being unable to withdraw their funds, so we urge traders to proceed cautiously.
JustMarkets offers seven live accounts on the MT4/MT5 trading platforms with minimum deposits starting at 1 USD and spreads of only 1.00 pips (EUR/USD) on its beginner-friendly Cent Account. Trading costs improve further on its Pro and Raw Spread accounts, with spreads on the Pro Accounts starting at 0.6 pips. Spreads start at 0 pips (EUR/USD) on the Raw Accounts in exchange for a commission of 6 USD (round turn). Both the Pro and the Raw Accounts have minimum deposit requirements of 100 USD.
Beginners should be aware that JustMarkets also offers extreme leverage of up to 3000:1, which can see many beginner accounts wiped out quickly.
Overall, because of the lack of regulatory oversight and the difficulty of withdrawing funds at JustMarkets, we recommend that Australians work with trusted brokers instead, such as Peppersone or XM.
