Linking your trading account to MetaTrader 5 shouldn't feel like a guessing game. If you're trying to connect JustMarkets to MT5, you need your exact account ID, trading password, and specific server name—not your website login credentials. Mixing these up is the single most common reason connection attempts fail on the first try.
Getting setup correctly means avoiding login loops, locating the proper server designation in your client dashboard, and making sure your terminal communicates with the broker's liquidity feed without throwing error codes.
Preparing Your JustMarkets Credentials
Before downloading or opening any trading terminal, you have to extract the right credentials from your account dashboard. Your JustMarkets user profile uses an email and a master password for the website login, but individual trading terminals require distinct credentials generated when you create a live or demo trading profile.
- Log into your account through the official JustMarkets website.
- Navigate to your dashboard or account overview section where your active accounts are listed.
- Locate the specific trading account number you want to use. If you haven't opened one yet, create a new MT5 account by selecting your preferred account model (such as Standard, Pro, or Raw Spread) and setting your leverage.
- Note down your login ID (usually a numeric string) and the specific trading password assigned or chosen for that account. Do not use your website password unless it matches the specific trading account credentials.
- Identify the exact server name assigned to that account (e.g., JustMarkets-Live or a designated numbered server). This detail appears directly under your account details or in the confirmation email.
Downloading and Installing MetaTrader 5
If you haven't installed the software yet, get the official installation package directly from the broker or platform provider rather than third-party download mirrors.
- Head over to the MetaTrader 5 platform overview or download the terminal directly from the JustMarkets MT5 PC portal.
- Run the installer file and follow the standard desktop setup prompts to place the application on your machine.
- If you prefer mobile access, download the official MetaTrader 5 application from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Step-by-Step Connection Process for Desktop
Once the terminal is running on your computer, the actual linking process takes less than a minute if you have your server name handy.
- Open MetaTrader 5. In the top-left corner, click on File and select Login to Trade Account.
- A login dialog box will pop up asking for three distinct pieces of information: Login, Password, and Server.
- Type your numeric account ID into the Login field.
- Enter your specific trading account password into the Password field.
- Click on the Server dropdown menu. If your exact server doesn't appear by default, type
JustMarketsinto the server search field to query the broker's server directory, then select the exact server matching your account credentials. - Check the box to save your password if you are using a secure, private personal computer.
- Click Finish.
If the connection succeeds, you will hear a chime or see your account balance and ping status populate in the bottom-right corner of the terminal window.
Connecting on Mobile Devices
Mobile trading requires a similar set of inputs within the mobile app interface.
- Open the MT5 mobile app on iOS or Android.
- Go to the settings or account management tab and tap the + icon or "Open a new account" / "Login to an existing account" option.
- Search for
JustMarketsin the broker search bar. - Select the correct server from the list provided by the search results.
- Input your login ID and trading password, then tap Sign In.
Troubleshooting Common Connection Errors
Even with the right details, you might occasionally run into hiccups. Here is how to fix the most frequent connection roadblocks.
- Invalid Account error: This almost always means you are entering your website email or dashboard password instead of the specific numeric trading account ID and its assigned trading password. Double-check your account dashboard to retrieve the correct credentials.
- No Connection / Common Error: This usually points to a network block, an outdated terminal version, or selecting the wrong server type (such as choosing a demo server for a live account number). Verify that your live versus demo server choice matches your account status.
- Authorization Failed: Your password might have extra whitespace copied from a notes app. Type the password manually into a text editor first to confirm every character is accurate before pasting it into MT5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my MT4 account login on the MT5 platform?
No. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 use entirely different backend infrastructures and database systems. An MT4 account number and password will not work on an MT5 terminal, and vice versa.
Where can I find my server name if I missed it during registration?
You can find your assigned server name by logging back into your JustMarkets client dashboard, navigating to your account list, and checking the specifications of that particular trading account or reviewing the initial account creation email.
Why is my account showing "Invalid Account" even though I copied the password?
Check if you accidentally selected a Demo server for a Live account, or if you are typing your main client dashboard email instead of the specific numeric trading account login.
How do I change my MT5 trading password?
Log into your JustMarkets Personal Area, locate your account settings menu for the specific trading account, and select the option to change your trading password. You will typically need to confirm the change via a security code or two-factor authentication prompt.
