Blueberry Markets is an Australia-centred CFD broker that markets itself to both domestic and international traders. Active since 2016 (according to archived press releases), the firm offers the popular MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms across desktop, web and mobile, plus an in-house social/copy solution. Clients can choose between a spread-only “Standard” account or a raw-spread “Direct” account with commission. The broker advertises maximum leverage of 1:500 for non-Australian residents and a recommended minimum deposit of $100.
The product list is typical of a multi-asset CFD provider: 40-plus forex pairs, major global indices, precious metals, energies, US/AU share CFDs and several cryptos. Blueberry keeps client money in segregated trust accounts and offers negative balance protection outside Australia, but it does not participate in any statutory investor-compensation scheme.

Regulations

In Australia, Blueberry Prime Partners Pty Ltd (ABN 57 140 275 860; AFSL 364411) facilitates payment processing; it is not the trading counterparty for CFDs presented on the .com site. Registered address: Level 7, 107 Mount Street, North Sydney NSW 2060.
The public site does not state coverage by a statutory investor compensation scheme. Client money segregation and risk disclosures are provided in the legal documentation; any negative balance protection should be confirmed against the current Client Agreement or website wording.
Trading Instruments
Blueberry focuses on the most frequently traded CFD classes. Coverage is broad enough for multi-asset portfolio strategies, but depth is shallower than with multi-venue ECNs or DMA equity brokers.Forex Trading
Around 45 currency pairs span majors, minors and several exotics such as USD/TRY and EUR/ZAR. The Standard account advertises average spreads of 1.1 pip on EUR/USD, while the Direct account quotes raw spreads typically between 0.0 – 0.2 pip plus commission. Australian retail leverage is capped at 1:30 in line with ASIC Product Intervention powers; global clients can access up to 1:500. Trading is 24/5 with market-orientated execution and no dealing-desk intervention stated.
Commodity Trading
The metals suite includes spot gold, silver and palladium against USD and AUD crosses, with leverage up to 1:200 (global) or 1:20 (ASIC). Energy CFDs cover US crude, Brent and natural gas; contracts are based on nearest futures with automatic monthly roll and swap debits/credits. Lot size on XAU/USD is 100 oz, producing roughly $0.10 tick value per 0.01 lot.
Index Trading
Blueberry lists 10-plus cash indices such as S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, ASX 200, DAX 40 and Nikkei 225. Typical margin on Wall Street is 1% (global) or 5% (ASIC retail). Dividends on cash indices are passed as positive/negative adjustments, and financing is charged daily at 2.5% + relevant benchmark.
Stock Trading
Over 200 US and Australian single-stock CFDs are available exclusively on MT5, covering large-cap names like Apple, Tesla and BHP. Contract size is one share CFD, with leverage up to 1:20 (global) or 1:5 (ASIC). Blueberry applies corporate action adjustments (dividends, splits) on ex-date.
Cryptocurrency Trading
A small basket of crypto pairs — BTC/USD, ETH/USD, LTC/USD and XRP/USD — can be traded 24/7 on MT5. Leverage is limited to 1:2 for ASIC clients and 1:10 for the Bahamas entity. The broker reserves the right to switch to “close only” during extreme volatility or exchange outages.

Blueberry relies on the MetaTrader suite, which it complements with a proprietary social-trading portal and optional VPS hosting for algorithmic strategies. All platforms are available on Windows, macOS (via web or emulation), Android and iOS, and traders can link third-party tools such as Myfxbook or Autochartist.
MetaTrader 4
The MT4 install supports one-click trading, 30 built-in indicators, nine time-frames and unlimited chart windows. Blueberry enables Expert Advisors (EAs) and provides free MQL5 marketplace access. Pending orders include buy/sell stop and limit plus stop-loss/take-profit. All CFD asset classes except share CFDs are tradable on MT4. Standard and Direct accounts are both compatible, and the broker claims an average execution speed below 30 ms via Equinix NY4.
MetaTrader 5
MT5 adds Depth of Market, eight pending-order types and a multi-threaded strategy tester. Share CFDs and cryptos are only available on MT5. Traders can subscribe to the MQL5 signals service or code automated systems through the MQL5 IDE. Hedging mode is enabled by default; netting is not offered.
Copy trading
Blueberry’s social portal is a white-label of the Myfxbook AutoTrade network. Live clients can follow vetted signal providers, setting volume multipliers and optional equity stops. Performance data, drawdown and subscription costs are transparently displayed. The service is free to join, but followers pay the usual trading costs on each copied position.
Payment methods
Blueberry publicly lists card payments (Visa/Mastercard), local and international bank transfers, Skrill, Neteller, POLi (Australia) and FasaPay. Crypto rails are not advertised. Deposits via cards and e-wallets are processed instantly, while bank wires take 1–5 business days depending on the sending jurisdiction.
The broker does not charge deposit fees on its side, though it warns that intermediary or e-wallet providers may levy their own charges. Withdrawals are free for cards, Skrill and Neteller; international bank wires attract a flat $20-$25 banking fee. Standard practice is to refund up to the original deposit back to the funding source; surplus profits must be withdrawn by bank transfer.
Base currencies are AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD, CAD and SGD. Funding an account in the same currency as the trading balance avoids conversion costs. All withdrawal requests received before 13:00 AEST are processed the same business day, subject to KYC approval.

Account types
Blueberry offers live “Standard” and “Direct” accounts plus an unlimited demo. Both live accounts can be opened as individual, joint or corporate, and a swap-free option is available on request for clients who self-certify their Sharia compliance. The recommended minimum deposit is $100, though the broker will open an account with zero if a trader funds later.

Standard account
This account builds the trading cost entirely into the spread. Typical published spreads start from 1.0 pip on EUR/USD and 1.3 pip on XAU/USD. No commission is charged. Maximum leverage is 1:30 for Australian retail clients and up to 1:500 for non-Australian clients of Eightcap Global Ltd. The account supports MT4, MT5 and copy trading, with a minimum lot size of 0.01.
Direct (Raw) account
The Direct account streams raw inter-bank spreads from 0.0 pip and adds a commission of $7 round-turn per standard lot (or currency equivalent). Instrument coverage is identical to the Standard account. Because the tighter spreads suit scalpers and algo traders, the broker recommends a starting balance of $1,000, although this is not enforced.
Demo accounts
Demo accounts mirror live pricing and are funded with up to $50,000 virtual balance. They do not expire automatically, provided the user logs in at least once every 30 days. MT4 and MT5 demos can be opened without document upload, letting prospective clients test spreads, execution and the copy-trading interface before committing capital.
Support
Blueberry advertises 24/7 multilingual support via live chat, email and a Melbourne-based phone line. During testing, chat connected to a human agent within one minute during AEST business hours. After-hours queries are initially handled by a bot that escalates to a representative on request. The broker also maintains an FAQ centre and a YouTube channel covering platform tutorials and weekly market outlooks. Supported languages are not fully listed; English is guaranteed, and agents confirmed ad-hoc coverage for Chinese and Spanish.
Conclusion
Blueberry Markets combines ASIC oversight, competitive raw pricing and the familiar MetaTrader environment, making it appealing to cost-conscious forex and metal traders. The addition of Bahamian registration widens leverage and onboarding flexibility but also lowers the overall regulatory tier and removes access to any investor-compensation scheme.
Platform choice is limited to MT4/MT5, yet these remain industry standards and are bolstered by copy trading and VPS options. Payments are fast and largely fee-free, though international wire costs persist. Depth of market outside core forex and metals is adequate rather than outstanding. Overall, the broker suits intermediate to advanced traders comfortable with MetaTrader and seeking higher leverage, while beginners and compensation-focused investors may prefer stricter jurisdictions.
