Blueberry Markets vs VT Markets vs Star Trader (2026)
By Ken Chigbo, founder of KenMacro, 2026-06-07. An honest three-way comparison. KenMacro is an affiliate partner of all three brokers below.
Blueberry Markets, VT Markets and Star Trader are the three brokers the desk runs its own flow on. They are not the same broker with different logos, they fit three different traders. Here is the honest breakdown so you pick on how you actually trade.
The three side by side
Choose the one that fits how you trade
You want trust, clean execution, award-winning support and a clean withdrawal record. You trade macro or swing, or you copy trade through Myfxbook AutoTrade or DupliTrade, and you want simple costs or tight raw spreads under ASIC-grade oversight.
You want the desk’s own broker and the desk’s support, with the AI-powered desk trades and Ken’s manual calls. You trade multi-asset, want TradingView-grade charting and tight indices spreads, or you want app-first copy from about 10 USD, and you are outside the UK.

You are experienced, you want high leverage up to 1:1000 and you understand offshore risk. You fund with crypto, you do not scalp, and you will start small and build a withdrawal track record before scaling.
Regulation and entity, the part most people skip
The entity you are onboarded under, not the broker’s brand, decides your leverage cap and your protection. Blueberry’s ASIC entity (AFSL 535887) gives Australian retail clients a 1:30 cap and negative balance protection. International clients at all three are usually on offshore entities with higher leverage and lighter protection. There is nothing wrong with offshore, as long as you know that is where you sit and you size for it. Confirm your specific entity before you fund, and read the deep dives: Blueberry regulation, VT Markets regulation and Star Trader regulation.
