Life as a Trader at Baseblue: Growth, Teamwork, and Turning the Impossible Into Reality

Vladislav Udovchenko, Trader at Limassol office, describes a typical day in the life of a trader, the company’s dedication to professional development, the core values that shape every interaction, and the unforgettable instances of teamwork that make Baseblue a truly special place to work.

A typical day for a Trader is when you’re trading a lot. At Baseblue, trading isn’t just about receiving and quoting inquiries; it also involves market analysis, hedge policies, internal cooperation, and much more. A day feels truly rewarding when at least one of the following happens: Exchanging market news with colleagues and clients in the morning. Sharing recent deals, discussing pricing, operational issues, competition, and claims handling. Engaging with clients and strengthening relationships. Learning from and sharing experiences with colleagues. Successfully closing deals.

At Baseblue, we cultivate an atmosphere where “You will never walk alone.” This culture works, allowing traders to participate as deeply as they choose.
From my very first day at Baseblue, I realized that professional education is a core aspect of corporate life. It’s about structured training and ongoing guidance from management and more experienced colleagues. While the immediate value of this knowledge may not always be obvious, the insights and skills gained become invaluable for navigating future challenges over time.
Respectful communication, cultural awareness, and knowledge exchange form the foundation of our corporate life. Being immersed in this environment daily, these values naturally extend to our interactions with clients, suppliers, and external partners. This respectful and knowledgeable approach is a quiet yet powerful competitive advantage when building lasting relationships.

Baseblue is full of memorable moments that highlight the strength of our community and teamwork. There are countless stories, but one of the most potent feelings comes from turning the impossible into reality — when your intervention or advice makes a difference, and a colleague or client responds with a heartfelt “Thank you, nice job.” It’s these moments that make waking up and heading to the office genuinely fulfilling.

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is another key part of life at Baseblue. Over the years, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in daily stress, which has had a positive impact on both my personal and professional life. This balance creates a sustainable rhythm that allows us to perform at our best while enjoying life beyond work.
