  • The deal places Acuity’s full market, event and trade intelligence suite inside Bullwaves Prime’s proprietary trading environment.
  • The partnership follows Acuity’s recent pattern-recognition launch and its equity investment in AI startup MarketReader.

Acuity

Acuity
Trading has signed Bullwaves Prime as a client, the latest proprietary trading
firm to fold third-party market intelligence into its platform.

The
London-based vendor said Bullwaves Prime, the prop trading arm of the Bullwaves
group, will integrate the full Acuity Intelligence suite across its trading
environment.

Prop Firms Become a Target
Market for Analytics Vendors

The
agreement points to a wider shift. Analytics and research providers that once
sold mainly to retail brokers are increasingly pitching proprietary trading
firms, where evaluation-based funding models have drawn large numbers of active
traders.

Bullwaves
Prime, which describes itself as a regulated prop trading environment offering
market access and trader evaluation programs, said the tools would give its
community more context for decisions.

“They
need structure, context and tools that help them understand what is
happening,” Paolo Vullo, Head of Operations at Bullwaves Group, said in
the announcement.

For Acuity,
the deal extends a client base that already spans retail brokers integrating
its AI-driven signal platform. The company says its software
reaches users through web platforms, MT4, MT5, cTrader, APIs and messaging
channels.

The company
described the rollout as covering its market, event and trade intelligence
products, delivered as white-labeled, multi-language tools that sit inside a
platform’s own interface.

Acuity
sells the suite to brokers and trading venues that want to keep users engaged
with research and signals rather than building those tools in house.

Acuity Pushes Deeper Into
AI After MarketReader Deal

The
Bullwaves Prime partnership lands during a run of product activity at Acuity Trading. The firm recently added a pattern-recognition
module to its AnalysisIQ service, automatically flagging chart formations and
turning them into written analysis across web, MT4, MT5, cTrader and
proprietary setups.

That launch
put Acuity into a category long held by Autochartist, the pattern-detection
provider that has supplied brokers for two decades.

FinanceMagnates.com
reported that the move saw Acuity catch up to Autochartist as
chart-pattern detection became table stakes
for platforms. Trading Central, another
research vendor, competes for the same broker budgets with its own technical
and analytics feeds.

The deal
also follows Acuity’s equity investment in MarketReader, a US startup that explains the
drivers behind real-time market moves.

Andrew
Lane, Acuity’s chief executive, took the top job at MarketReader two weeks after the equity deal
closed.

Signals Sold as
Engagement, Sold With Caveats

Acuity
frames the suite as a way to keep traders informed and active inside a
platform, blending AI-supported data processing with analyst-led research.

Lane said
the industry is moving “towards connected intelligence that supports more
informed decision-making.”

Such
positioning has drawn regulatory attention, with watchdogs scrutinizing how
automated signals and trade ideas are presented to retail clients.

Earlier
Acuity integrations have surfaced the same tension, as when Traders’ Hub adopted its AI tools
while signals faced regulatory lag
.

The
Bullwaves Prime release carried heavy disclaimers, noting the B2B nature of the
deal and stating that any market intelligence, analytics or AI-generated
content is for information only and not investment advice.

Acuity, an
Acuity Analytics company that combines the former PIA First and Signal Centre
businesses, has built tools for brokers and platforms since 2013.
