Mobile trading has proved to be extremely popular with those looking to add an extra dynamic to their trading ability.
When City Index launched its first spread betting and CFD trading app for the iPhone in October 2009, it was downloaded more than 10,000 times before the end of the year. So, if you are not already trading on your mobile, should you be?
Some see mobile trading as unnecessary, ignoring it in favour of placing stop losses and limit orders from online trading platforms.
React to Market Movements
When you place orders you do so with the current news activity and market conditions in mind, but what happens if, after leaving your computer, the situation changes dramatically? Here, mobile trading allows you to react in a way that orders placed online cannot.
There are, of course, additional risks to consider when using mobile trading platforms. Joshua Raymond, Market Strategist at City Index states. “The disadvantage [of mobile trading] could be that the more you look at prices moving, the higher is the potential for you to make impulse trades without proper research and analysis.” Remember to research every trade carefully.
Ultimately, you may not use mobile trading particularly often, but the flexibility it provides could make the difference to your CFD trading one day.
Best Mobile Trading Platform |
Update, 14-Jul-11.
City Index has been awarded 'Best Online Spread Betting Service' and 'Best Mobile Trading Platform' at the 2011 MoneyAM Online Finance Awards.

The new, improved mobile app, which is also the Financial Times’ Innovation of 2010, includes live newsfeed from Dow Jones Newswires and live streaming charts.
Joshua Raymond commented: "We are delighted that Money AM readers have voted us Best Mobile Platform two years in a row."

“Being the first spread betting company to market with a live trading application for both Android and iPhone spread betting devices and the continual upgrading of our mobile platforms is testament to that dedication."

With fast-moving and volatile financial markets, it is crucial that traders have access to their spread betting and CFD trading accounts whenever they want, wherever they are.
City Index’s first iPhone spread betting and CFD trading application, City Trading™, was launched in 2009 to give clients full and secure access to their trading accounts on their mobile.
Joshua Raymond, said: “Since the release of City Trading™, the percentage of total trades placed on our mobile platforms has risen from less than 3% to 15%, which underlines just what an impact the City Trading™ app has had on traders’ behaviour.”
