Prop trading firm Blueberry Funded, backed by the regulated Australian broker Blueberry Markets, has significantly expanded its evaluation program to include stock CFD trading challenges. Traders can now access over 1,000 stock CFDs through the MetaTrader 5 and DXtrade platforms.

From Forex to Equities: A Broader Asset Universe

While most prop firms focus on forex, indices, or crypto, Blueberry Funded is joining a select group—alongside Lark Funding, FXIFY, The Trading Pit, and Trade The Pool—by bringing stock CFDs into its challenge offerings.

“CFD stock trading got added recently to our Blueberry.Funded challenge option,” the firm announced via social media. “Imagine buying the dip right now and holding it.”

Challenges are now available across three formats: one-phase, two-phase, and rapid evaluation, with account sizes ranging from $5,000 to $200,000. Traders who succeed can earn up to 80% profit splits, with scalable accounts of up to $2 million and profit share potential reaching 90%.

Trading Conditions and Risk Parameters

Profit targets are set between 5% and 10%, with drawdown limits typically between 3% and 6%. The trading conditions mirror those of Blueberry Markets:

• Forex & metals: $7 per lot commission
• Indices & stocks: spread-only trading (no additional commissions)

These rules provide a familiar, broker-grade experience for traders transitioning from evaluation to live trading.

Direct Withdrawals to Blueberry Markets

In a strategic move, Blueberry Funded announced that by mid-April 2025, funded traders will be able to withdraw their earnings directly to Blueberry Markets accounts.

“This is what Broker-Backed truly means,” the company stated in a March 31 announcement, describing it as a “pathway to true financial freedom.”

This initiative not only simplifies the withdrawal process but also encourages a natural transition from prop client to broker client, helping retain capital within the Blueberry ecosystem.

Strategic Backing and Management

Blueberry Markets, the parent broker, was founded in 2016 and is regulated in Australia (ASIC), Vanuatu, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The firm appointed Marcus Fetherston as General Manager in 2024, a former Pepperstone executive with deep operations experience.

Final Thoughts

Blueberry Funded’s expansion into stock CFD challenges marks a new direction for the prop industry, blending regulated brokerage infrastructure with modern evaluation models. With a growing demand for equities trading and more seamless payout structures, this move positions Blueberry Funded as a forward-looking, broker-backed alternative in the prop trading space.
