Bill Baruch and Oliver Sloup founded Blue Line Futures in Chicago in 2017. The firm built its name on daily market research and commentary on futures markets like gold, crude oil, and stock indexes, alongside its brokerage service.
Blue Line Futures acts as an introducing broker, connecting clients to exchanges through partner clearing firms rather than holding funds itself. It offers futures and options on futures through platforms like NinjaTrader, CQG, and TradingView, and works with both individual traders and institutional clients.
The firm is a member of the National Futures Association and falls under CFTC oversight, standard for US futures brokers. It is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau. As with any introducing broker, clients should confirm current NFA membership status and read the clearing firm agreement before funding an account.
