Just2Trade Review: CySEC-Licensed Broker Flagged by Malaysia's SC

Just2Trade is a Cyprus-based brokerage founded in 2016 and run by Lime Trading (CY) Ltd. Its profile lists forex, stocks, futures, CFDs, bonds, metals and options, with MT4 and MT5 among the platforms, anchored by a Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) licence.

For Malaysian traders the picture is more complicated. Just2Trade sits on the Securities Commission Malaysia (SCM) investor alert list, and WikiFX shows a 6.70 score alongside withdrawal and slippage complaints.

Regulation and Safety

The core licence is with CySEC: Lime Trading (CY) Ltd holds market-making licence 281/15, recorded as regulated. The broker is also connected to a US National Futures Association registration for Lime Trading Corp, though that belongs to a different entity.

Two items deserve attention. A Central Bank of Russia entry is recorded as unverified, with a suspected-clone flag. More relevant for Malaysian readers is the Securities Commission Malaysia (SCM) investor alert, first issued in 2020, which lists Just2Trade for unlicensed capital market activities in dealing in securities and derivatives. In short, the Cyprus licence does not cover Malaysian regulated activities.

Trading Platforms and Products

WikiFX's platform data confirms MT4 and MT5. The profile also lists CQG and Sterling Trader Pro, with a stated $100 minimum deposit and spreads that can start from zero, though fee terms vary by account.

Complaints and Reviews

Complaints cluster around withdrawals and slippage. One user in Argentina reported that after requesting an account closure, the account was shut with funds still inside and the broker said the money had been moved “somewhere for storage”.

Another Argentine user said the withdrawal button became inactive after four months, with support offering no help. On slippage, a Hong Kong user reported a crude oil order executing at prices not shown in the market feed, turning a winning position into a loss of more than $1,000.

Some reviews are more measured: a Portuguese user called the platform decent over a year, and a Taiwan-based user reported no withdrawal problems and recommended the broker.

Advantages

For traders who value a recognised EU licence, Just2Trade's strongest asset is its CySEC licence, supported by MT4 and MT5. Low starting spreads and a $100 minimum deposit add flexibility, though terms should be checked against the current contract.

Final Thoughts

The question is not whether Just2Trade holds a licence, it clearly does in Cyprus, but whether that licence protects you in your own market. A 6.70 score, a Securities Commission Malaysia (SCM) alert and a cluster of withdrawal complaints justify extra caution, especially for anyone funding from Malaysia.

Before depositing, verify the current CySEC licence, test withdrawals with a small amount first, and check real-time scores and complaints on the WikiFX App.
