Germany-based CopyTrade Market (CTM) and New Zealand-headquartered BlackBull Markets (BBM) have recently announced a new stage in their collaboration, introducing a direct integration between CTM‘s strategy platform and BlackBull’s brokerage network.
BlackBull Markets, founded in 2014 and based in Auckland, operates as a brokerage firm offering access to multiple asset classes. Its trading environment supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and TradingView. The firm is registered under the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) of New Zealand and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles.
CopyTrade Market, operated by the German Gründer Family Office, is licensed as an asset manager by Germanys Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and is also authorised by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. The platform provides a multi-broker framework where trades from selected strategies are mirrored across linked accounts.
The link allows BlackBull account holders using MetaTrader platforms to connect directly to CTM, enabling them to follow strategies available in the CTM marketplace. In parallel, traders using BlackBulls infrastructure can act as strategy providers within the system.
The connection is designed to create a two-sided model: on one end, individuals may choose to mirror strategies; on the other, traders can make their strategies available to others.
The arrangement reflects a broader industry movement towards interoperability across platforms. Copy trading, once largely informal, is being incorporated into more structured systems that include regulatory authorisations and cross-broker functionality.
Such developments are notable as they indicate a shift from promotional incentives to platform adjustments and operational changes intended to broaden access. The CTM–BlackBull connection is one example of how trading models are being restructured to adapt to regulatory and technological conditions.
As copy trading platforms develop, multi-broker ecosystems are expected to become more common, allowing traders to connect strategies with execution venues across jurisdictions.
