What Can You Win?
The contest has three ways to win, so you don't need to finish near the top of the leaderboard to be eligible for a prize.
1. TOP 15 leaderboard prizes
The 15 traders with the highest total volume when the contest ends receive a prize. Winners can exchange their gold prize for the listed cash amount.
| Final rank | Gold prize | Cash alternative |
|---|---|---|
| 1st to 3rd | 20 g each | $3,000 each |
| 4th to 8th | 10 g each | $1,500 each |
| 9th to 15th | 5 g each | $750 each |
2. Weekly lucky draw prizes
Trade at least 3 universal lots between Monday and Sunday to qualify for that week's draw. JustMarkets selects five winners at random each week, and each winner receives $200. You must meet the 3-lot requirement again in every week you want to enter.
3. Final lucky draw prizes
Anyone who trades at least 10 universal lots during the contest can enter the Final Lucky Draw. Your total volume determines your prize tier. JustMarkets randomly selects 10 winners in each tier.
| Tier | Total volume | Prize per winner |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 100 lots or more | $1,000 |
| Tier 2 | 50 to 99 lots | $500 |
| Tier 3 | 10 to 49 lots | $300 |
A higher tier offers a larger prize, but doesn't guarantee a win. Each participant can win the Final Lucky Draw only once.
How to Enter the JustMarkets Golden Challenge
- Open a real Standard, Pro, or Raw Spread account with JustMarkets on MT4 or MT5, or use an eligible account you already have.
- Keep at least $100 in the account you plan to register. Transfers between your own trading accounts don't count as qualifying deposits.
- Verify your Personal Area, since may cancel a prize if a winner hasn't completed verification.
- Sign in to your Personal Area, go to Benefits, select an account, and register it for the Golden Challenge.
- Choose a nickname for the public leaderboard.
- Trade through the account you registered. Your total universal lots determine your leaderboard position and eligibility for the draws.
Each client can enter with only one account, and you can't combine volume from multiple accounts. Demo accounts aren't eligible.
How JustMarkets Counts Universal Lots
The contest measures volume in "universal lots," not standard lots. One universal lot equals $100,000 in trading volume. Both opening and closing a position count toward your total.
Since contract sizes vary by instrument, a standard lot doesn't always equal one universal lot. For example, one standard lot of gold (XAUUSD) can equal several universal lots because its notional value exceeds $100,000. Check the volume displayed in your Personal Area rather than estimating from standard lots.
Key Terms and Conditions
- Winners must have a fully verified Personal Area. JustMarkets may cancel a prize if a winner doesn't complete verification by the deadline after the announcement.
- Respond to JustMarkets promptly. If the company can't reach a winner within 10 calendar days of its first contact, it may cancel the prize.
- Weekly and Final Lucky Draw prizes are credited to the registered trading account within 10 business days. TOP 15 prizes are delivered within 45 days after the winner confirms.
- Cash prizes can be traded or withdrawn. The terms don't state an additional trading-volume requirement.
- Winners can exchange gold prizes for their cash equivalent. If gold isn't available, JustMarkets pays the cash equivalent instead.
- Manipulation, offsetting trades between linked accounts, or multiple registrations can lead to disqualification.
- JustMarkets makes the final decisions on rankings and prizes. The company publishes results on its website or social channels.
- JustMarkets can change or end the promotion. Read the current terms on the official page before registering.
Is the JustMarkets Golden Challenge Worth Entering?
The JustMarkets contest may appeal to traders who already trade actively, since the leaderboard and draw tiers are based on trading volume. Registration is free, the minimum account balance is $100, and weekly draws give participants another way to qualify even if they aren't near the TOP 15.
However, the volume requirements deserve attention. Lucky draw prizes are random, so increasing your trading just to reach a threshold adds risk without guaranteeing a reward. Treat any prize as a bonus, and stick to your usual trading plan.
