Company background

Blueberry Markets is an Australian CFD and forex broker founded in 2016 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The broker operates through multiple legal entities: Blueberry Australia Pty Ltd is regulated by ASIC, Blueberry Markets (Mauritius) Ltd holds a Global Business Licence from the FSC of Mauritius, and Blueberry Markets (V) Ltd is regulated by the VFSC. The broker has no disclosed parent company and operates independently.

Blueberry Markets offers more than 2,000 instruments across forex, share CFDs, indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies. It also provides a copy trading service called Blueberry Social, where traders can follow and mirror the strategies of other traders in real time.

Fees and pricing

Blueberry Markets offers two account types. The Standard account charges spreads from 1.0 pip with no commission. The Direct (Raw) account charges spreads from 0.0 pips on forex pairs with a commission of $3.50 per side per standard lot ($7 round turn). Both accounts require a $100 minimum deposit. Blueberry Markets charges no deposit or inactivity fees. Withdrawals are free for most methods, though international bank wire transfers may attract SWIFT and intermediary bank charges outside Blueberry Markets' control. Overnight swap rates apply at standard market-derived rates, with triple swap on Wednesdays. Islamic swap-free accounts are available and carry a daily administrative fee that varies by instrument.

Regulation and safety

Blueberry Australia Pty Ltd is regulated by ASIC under AFSL 535887. Client funds are held in segregated trust accounts at authorised deposit-taking institutions, and retail clients receive mandatory negative balance protection under ASIC rules. The FSC of Mauritius and VFSC entities serve international clients and offer leverage up to 1:500, but carry reduced protections compared to the ASIC entity. There is no investor compensation fund under any of the three entities.

Platform experience

Blueberry Markets supports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 on desktop, web and mobile, cTrader, TradingView, Blueberry X (proprietary), and a standard web trader. Mobile trading is available on iOS and Android. A free demo account with $100,000 in virtual funds is available with no expiry, giving access to the same platforms and instruments as a live account. Blueberry Social provides copy trading where users browse strategy providers and mirror trades automatically. A free VPS is available for accounts trading 15 or more standard lots per month.

Pros and cons

Blueberry Markets' main strengths are ASIC regulation with segregated client funds, raw spreads from 0.0 pips on the Direct (Raw) account, no deposit or inactivity fees, a $100 minimum deposit, and a broad platform choice including MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView and Blueberry X.

The main drawbacks are no investor compensation fund under any entity, reduced protections for clients under the offshore FSC and VFSC entities, no ETFs, bonds, listed options or futures, and SWIFT or intermediary bank charges that may apply to international wire withdrawals.
