VT Markets (desk route) · Blueberry Markets (editor’s choice) · Star Trader (high leverage). Full reasoning on the Broker Desk Notes.

Watch-outs by broker

  • VT Markets: does not accept UK residents on the offshore entity; confirm your entity.
  • Blueberry Markets: copy trading wants a larger balance; not built for the highest leverage.
  • Star Trader: offshore entity, fewer protections, no native TradingView. Offshore risk applies.

Country and entity notes

Your protection depends on the entity for your country. Tier-1 (ASIC, FCA) means stronger oversight and lower leverage; offshore means higher leverage and fewer safeguards. UK residents are routed to ASIC entities (VT offshore does not accept them). Always verify the entity on the regulator’s register before funding.
