BLUEBERRY MARKETS (V) LTD

Blueberry Markets is an online forex and CFD broker operating under the name Blueberry Markets (V) Ltd, incorporated in Vanuatu and regulated by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). The broker launched in November 2023 and targets retail traders globally, offering a range of trading instruments and platforms. Its official domain is blueberrymarkets.com, with a separate Australian entity (Blueberry Australia Pty Ltd) holding an AFSL, though the primary offshore entity is Vanuatu-based.

The broker positions itself as a multi-asset provider, allowing traders to access forex, indices, commodities, shares, and cryptocurrency CFDs. Blueberry Markets emphasizes competitive pricing, with spreads starting at 0.0 pips on its Raw account, and offers multiple platform choices including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView, and a proprietary web platform called Blueberry X.

Blueberry Markets (V) Ltd holds a Financial Dealers Licence from the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), with license classes A, B, and C under the Financial Dealers Licensing Act. The VFSC is an offshore regulator known for a relatively light-touch approach compared to major regulators like the FCA or ASIC. The broker's client agreement and risk disclosure documents reference this license and are dated January 2024.

In addition, the broker has an Australian entity, Blueberry Australia Pty Ltd, which is authorized by ASIC (AFSL 535887). However, the Australian entity is limited to providing services to wholesale clients and is not the subject of this review. For retail clients outside Australia, the Vanuatu entity is the counterparty.

Blueberry Markets offers two live account types: Standard and Raw. The Standard account features spreads from 1.0 pips and no commission, while the Raw account offers spreads from 0.0 pips with a commission of $7 per standard lot (round turn). Both accounts require a minimum deposit of $100 and support leverage up to 500:1. Minimum trade size is 0.01 lots, and the broker claims over 300 tradable instruments.

The broker also provides a demo account for practice. Leverage for retail clients may be subject to lower limits depending on jurisdiction, but for Vanuatu clients, 500:1 is advertised. Negative balance protection is not explicitly mentioned for the Vanuatu entity.

Traders can choose from industry-standard platforms: MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), as well as the popular charting platform TradingView, a web-based terminal, and a proprietary platform called Blueberry X. All platforms are available on desktop, web, and mobile devices. The broker supports automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs) on MT4/MT5 and provides advanced charting tools and indicators.

Blueberry Markets also offers a copy trading service, referred to as social trading, though details are limited on the website. The platforms are designed to cater to both manual and algorithmic traders.

Blueberry Markets offers over 2,000 trading instruments, according to its homepage claim. This includes major, minor, and exotic forex pairs; indices such as the S&P 500 and FTSE 100; commodities like gold, silver, and oil; US and international shares; and cryptocurrency CFDs (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum). The broker does not offer real shares or cryptocurrencies—only CFDs.

The product range is broad, but the exact number of instruments may vary by account type and region. The broker also provides a dedicated forex page and an instruments list on its website.

Deposits and withdrawals are processed via bank wire transfer, credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), and e-wallets such as Skrill, Neteller, and others. The broker claims most deposits are instant, and withdrawals are processed within 24 hours on business days. There are no fees charged by the broker for deposits or withdrawals, but third-party payment provider fees may apply.

The broker does not accept US retail clients, as stated on its website. Minimum deposit is $100 for both account types. Currency options for deposits are not explicitly listed but likely include USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD.

Blueberry Markets offers 24/7 customer support via live chat, email, and phone. The website includes a comprehensive FAQ section and educational resources such as trading guides, platform tutorials, and market analysis. The broker also provides a financial services guide (FSG) for Australian clients and risk disclosure documents.

Educational content appears aimed at beginners and intermediate traders, covering topics like technical analysis, risk management, and platform usage. However, compared to larger brokers, the education library is limited.
