About the JustMarkets Grand Anniversary Forex Contest
Contest period
JustMarkets runs this contest for new and existing clients during a fixed two-month period. The trading window lasts from June 1 to July 31, giving participants 61 days to build their trading volume and qualify for prizes.
The competition runs as one continuous event. Your trading activity across the full contest period counts toward your final position and lucky draw eligibility.
Prize pool overview
The prize structure gives traders several chances to win. The top prize tiers let winners choose gold or cash.
The first tier awards 20 g of gold or USD 3,000 to 3 winners. The second tier gives 10 g of gold or USD 1,500 to 5 winners. The third tier offers 5 g of gold or USD 700 to 7 winners.
There are also cash-only prize tiers beyond the gold awards. Ten winners receive USD 1,000 each. Another 10 winners get USD 500 each. The next 10 winners receive USD 300 each, and 40 traders receive USD 200 each.
In total, the contest has 85 winning spots across all categories. That setup gives strong traders and regular participants a chance to win.
Who can take part
The contest is open to people who can legally enter binding agreements in their country. That means participants must be at least 18 years old, or the legal age in their country of residence.
You also need to be a registered JustMarkets client, or open one or more new trading accounts. A minimum deposit of USD 100 is required for the account you want to register. Internal transfers between JustMarkets accounts do not count as a deposit.
Only these account types qualify:
- Standard
- Pro
- Raw Spread
Demo accounts are not eligible.
To register, log in to your Personal Area, open the "Benefits" section, choose the account you want to use, and enter your nickname. This step confirms that you want to join the contest.
How to enter the JustMarkets Trading Competition
Registration steps
You need an eligible trading account before you can join. If you already have a JustMarkets account, you can use that. If not, you can open a new one.
The registration process starts in your Personal Area. Open the "Benefits" section, find the Grand Anniversary Contest, and select the eligible account you want to use. Then enter a nickname. That nickname appears on the leaderboard during the contest.
Registration is manual, so you choose to join rather than getting enrolled automatically. Once you register, that account stays linked to the contest for the full period.
Deposit and account type rules
Your account must hold at least USD 100 from an external deposit before you can register it for the contest. Transfers between your own JustMarkets accounts do not count.
Only Standard, Pro, and Raw Spread accounts are accepted. These account types work on both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Demo accounts do not qualify.
Trading volume requirements
The contest uses a trading unit called a universal lot. One universal lot equals USD 100,000 in trading volume, based on open and close positions. The exact amount can change depending on the instrument you trade.
For example, XAUUSD can create a different volume amount than a forex pair. A trade of 1 lot in XAUUSD may require much more trading volume than a universal lot calculation suggests.
Two volume thresholds matter:
- Trading 3 universal lots or more in a single week qualifies you for the Weekly Lucky Draw.
- Trading 10 universal lots or more during the full contest period qualifies you for the Final Lucky Draw.
Each registered account is tracked on its own. If you register more than one account, the volumes are not combined.
Registration process
Here's the registration flow:
- Make sure your account has at least USD 100 from an external deposit.
- Log in to your JustMarkets Personal Area.
- Open the "Benefits" section.
- Find the Grand Anniversary Contest registration option.
- Select an eligible account, such as Standard, Pro, or Raw Spread.
- Enter your nickname for the leaderboard.
- Confirm the registration.
After that, your trading volume starts counting toward the contest. You can track progress in your Personal Area.
Only one trading account you register can take part in the contest, so pick the one you plan to trade most actively.
Top 15 winner selection
How rankings work
The Top 15 prizes go to traders with the highest total volume during the contest. This part of the competition is separate from the lucky draws.
Your rank depends on the total universal lots traded on your registered account. Both opened and closed positions count toward the total. The leaderboard updates as you trade, and your nickname appears instead of personal account details.
This format rewards steady trading over the full contest period. Short bursts of volume matter less than consistent activity.
Top trader prizes
The Top 15 winners receive prizes in three tiers:
- Places 1 to 3 receive 20 g of gold or USD 3,000.
- Places 4 to 8 receive 10 g of gold or USD 1,500.
- Places 9 to 15 receive 5 g of gold or USD 700.
Winners can choose gold or cash in each tier. The gold option suits traders who want a precious metal prize, while the cash option gives direct liquidity.
JustMarkets makes the final ranking decision, and that result is binding.
Leaderboard updates
The leaderboard updates daily on the JustMarkets website. That lets you check your rank and see how close you are to the Top 15.
Because the standings update often, you can follow your progress throughout the contest. Your nickname helps you track your position without sharing private account details.
Lucky Draw categories and prizes
Final Lucky Draw
The Final Lucky Draw gives 30 more cash prizes to qualifying traders. Winners are picked at random by a digital tool called the Wheel of Fortune.
Participants are grouped by trading volume:
- Tier 1, 100 lots or more during the contest
- Tier 2, 50 to 99 lots during the contest
- Tier 3, 10 to 49 lots during the contest
Each tier has its own cash prizes:
- Tier 1 gives USD 1,000 to 10 winners.
- Tier 2 gives USD 500 to 10 winners.
- Tier 3 gives USD 300 to 10 winners.
A participant can win the Final Lucky Draw only once. If the same person is selected more than once, only the first selection counts.
Weekly Lucky Draw
The contest also includes a Weekly Lucky Draw, which runs during the full contest period. It gives participants a chance to win cash every week.
Anyone who meets the weekly requirement is entered into the draw. The weekly rule is simple, each eligible client gets one chance, no matter how many lots they traded above the minimum.
The Weekly Lucky Draw runs for 8 weeks. Each week, 5 winners receive USD 200 each. That creates 40 weekly prize spots in total.
A participant can win only once per week. If the same person is picked more than once, only the first pick is valid.
How winners are chosen
The Wheel of Fortune random draw picks winners each Tuesday for the previous week, which runs from Monday through Sunday. That timing keeps the weekly process easy to follow.
Once you meet the weekly minimum of 3 universal lots, your chance in the draw is the same as any other qualified trader. Extra volume beyond the minimum does not change the odds for the weekly prize.
The same random method is used for the lucky draw categories. That keeps the selection process fair and easy to verify.
Prize claiming and delivery rules
Verification requirements
Winners need a verified Personal Area before they can receive a prize. That means you must submit identity and address documents through JustMarkets.
If verification is not completed within 7 business days after the winners are announced, JustMarkets can cancel the prize. This rule applies to all prize categories.
You may need to provide documents such as:
- Passport or ID card
- Utility bill or bank statement for proof of address
JustMarkets reviews the documents and confirms your verification status by email.
Contact timeline
JustMarkets contacts lucky draw winners by email and phone using the details in the Client's Personal Area. Winners must respond within 10 calendar days after the announcement.
If a winner cannot be reached within that time, JustMarkets may cancel the prize.
The winners list is published on the JustMarkets website and official social media pages within 10 business days of selection. The time and place for the Golden Lucky Draw and Weekly Lucky Draw are also posted on the official channels.
Prize payment schedule
Prize delivery depends on the category.
Weekly Lucky Draw prizes are credited to the trading account within 10 business days.
Gold prizes, or their cash equivalent, are sent or credited within 45 days after the winner confirms acceptance. Physical gold can take longer because of delivery steps.
Withdrawal and trading use
Cash prizes can be used for trading or withdrawn. You can open new positions with the prize money or request a withdrawal through the usual JustMarkets process.
Important terms and disqualification rules
Prohibited trading actions
JustMarkets does not allow trading practices that distort the contest. If the platform finds signs of abuse, it can disqualify a participant.
Disallowed actions include:
- Offsetting trades used to create artificial volume
- Exploiting platform errors for profit
- Placing large opposite orders on the same pair across different accounts at nearly the same time
- Using quote flow failures to lock in risk-free gains
JustMarkets can disqualify any participant it believes is using fraud, manipulation, or rule abuse.
Linked account checks
The platform also watches for linked accounts. If it sees signs that several accounts belong to the same person or group, it may remove them from the contest.
Possible warning signs include:
- Matching IP addresses
- Shared personal details
- Other patterns that suggest coordination or fraud
These checks help keep the contest fair for genuine traders.
Contest changes
JustMarkets can change the contest terms at any time without prior notice. It can also cancel the contest if needed.
