Android Trading Apps
Whilst spread betting on iPhones and iPads is more popular than trading on Android based apps, the rise of Android is eating into Apple’s market share and most large spread betting firms now let you trade using Android.A key benefit here is that most firms spent a lot of time getting their iPhone apps right. So by the time they started looking at Android and iPads they had a good understanding of touch screen technology, the screen-size constraints and most importantly, what clients want.
Therefore most Android apps are of a fairly high standard and let clients:
- Check live prices and charts
- Open and close trades
- Add and update trading orders
- Review their account history, P&L, open positions etc.
- Create and amend their Watchlists / Portfolios
