Germany-based CopyTrade Market (CTM) and New Zealand-headquartered BlackBull Markets (BBM) have announced a strategic integration, marking a new chapter in a collaboration that spans nearly a decade.
The enhanced partnership enables retail and institutional traders to benefit from direct connection between the CTM’s automated strategy platform and BlackBull’s globally accessible brokerage infrastructure.
A Partnership Taken Further
CTM Shareholders and BlackBull Markets have worked together since 2018 in various capacities. With this new integration, the relationship deepens into a more seamless and scalable collaboration.
BBM clients can now link their MetaTrader trading account directly to CTM and access curated strategies. The integration not only benefits passive investors looking to copy trades but also creates new opportunities for BBM’s professional traders to become signal providers.
“BlackBull Markets has proven to be our most trusted and forward-thinking partner over the years,” said Marc Gründer, the company owner of CopyTrade Market. “Their commitment to execution quality and customer support makes them a natural fit for our users. We’re proud to deepen this collaboration and expand it further with even greater functionality.”
Marcel Tracey, Chief Marketing Officer at BlackBull Markets, echoed his sentiments: “Our long-standing relationship with the team at CTM, combined with our commitment to delivering an institutional-grade experience for all clients, made this partnership the natural next step. CTM’s service complements our strategy to offer user-friendly solutions underpinned by institutional-grade infrastructure, while further expanding our copy trading offering within a regulated environment.”
Background on BlackBull Markets
Established in 2014, BlackBull Markets (BBM) is a multi-regulated, multi-asset broker headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand.
The company’s trading infrastructure is hosted in Equinix data centers, facilitating low-latency execution by connecting directly to a pool of ECNs, banks, and liquidity providers. Clients can choose between MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and TradingView platforms, offering flexibility to accommodate different trader needs.
BlackBull Markets is regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) in New Zealand and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in Seychelles, ensuring compliance with international financial standards.
About CopyTrade Market
Based in Germany and owned by the German Gründer Family Office, CopyTrade Market offers a multi-broker ecosystem where clients can connect their accounts to follow traders from various brokers and automatically mirror their trades. Notably, CTM is the only copy trading platform to operate under a German BaFin asset management licence, while also holding a Mauritian FSC licence.
Traders can access a variety of strategies, tailored to different risk tolerances and objectives, while the platform itself has utmost care for compliance and security. Strategies are diligently chosen and curated, making the platform accessible to a wide range of investor profiles from beginners to experts.
Platform Interoperability in Practice
The expanded collaboration between CTM and BBM mirrors an industry-wide trend toward interoperable, regulated financial services. As traders increasingly seek tools that combine automation with oversight, the two firms’ integration offers a model for how technical and compliance frameworks can work in concert.
By offering plug-and-play connectivity between the CTM strategy marketplace and BlackBull’s execution infrastructure, the integration facilitates both sides of the trading equation: followers gain access to proven strategies, while strategy providers benefit from institutional-grade execution and visibility.
Likewise, CTM’s modular approach and expanding broker integrations point toward a more interconnected trading ecosystem. As more brokerage firms join platforms like CTM, copy trading is becoming an institutional-grade service in its own right and is no longer confined to niche retail applications.
Traders can register and verify their accounts with BlackBull Markets, then connect to CopyTrade Market to access or provide strategies. The integration process is fully digital and can be completed easily via the CopyTrade
