Acuity has been on a roll, having recently onboarded several retail brokers, namely VT Markets, Eightcap, Equiti, and Kwakol Markets. The integration with Blackbull Markets further strengthens Acuity’s position within the industry.

BlackBull Markets is a multi-award winnin ECN broker that serves tens of thousands of traders from more than 180 different countries, offering access to 23,000+ tradable instruments (including Equities, FX, CFDs, and Commodities) on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and WebTrader.

Last year, the brokerage firm was awarded Best Electronic Communication Network (ECN) Broker 2022 from BrokerTested.com, and has been ranked on Deloitte’s ‘Fast 50’ index since 2018.

The firm relies on a team of academics, scientists, news and market professionals dedicated to bring value to investors of all levels and experience and flexible delivery options, including APIs, MT4/5, plug and play widgets and third party automation services.

BlackBull Markets will benefit from trusted news and insights from the Dow Jones multi asset newswire and unique, alternative data on a range of global assets, delivered by Acuity, which will help to further inform and strengthen client trading strategies in a wide range of markets.

Blackbull and Acuity share same ethos: to streamline responsible trading

Michael Walker, Chief Executive Officer at BlackBull Markets, said: “Over the past seven years, we’ve built out all areas of our business to meet the global standards of an industry leader with our core services offering and our pricing model at a point that is highly competitive for our clients. As such, we’ve seen a lot of success with traders moving away from some of the legacy giants who treat them as just a small piece of their bigger business. Our partnership with Acuity Trading reflects our shared values and company ethos, which is to streamline responsible trading. By incorporating Acuity’s AssetIQ we can offer our clients expert trading insights unrivalled on the market and give them a positive trading experience”.

Andrew Lane, Chief Executive Officer at Acuity Trading, commented: “Acuity works to establish new partnerships that provide traders and brokers across the world with access to market-leading products.
