For the last 7 years I’ve watched the incredible and exponential journey of Blueberry Markets as an outsider with equal measure of admiration and envy. Day 1 and what is already apparent is the great culture that has incubated this great company. Looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and joining such a high performing team!”

Blueberry Markets' Partnership with Signal Centre
Finance Magnates reported earlier that Blueberry Markets had announced a strategic partnership with Signal Centre, a trading signals provider. Under this new collaboration, Signal Centre will offer daily analysis and content prepared by its team of seasoned analysts to the trading community of Blueberry Markets.
With over 30,000 traders in its community, Blueberry Markets experienced growth. The broker saw a surge in its Telegram subscribers over the past two months, along with an increase in email open rates.
This partnership goes beyond brokerage services by integrating Signal Stream across multiple platforms, including MetaTrader, Telegram, and daily emails. The approach aims to engage, educate, and provide insights to traders, ensuring they receive the information to support their trading decisions.
As a licensed entity under ASIC and the Securities Commission of the Bahamas, the brokerage firm believes that this new partnership will enhance transparency in the financial markets.
The then Chief Operating Officer at Signal Centre, expressed the importance of prioritizing the interests of traders. He highlighted the commitment of both Signal Centre and Blueberry Markets to investing in processes, business practices, and technological integrations to ensure high standards of education provision, customer service, and support for clients.
