With the development and the increasing number of Smartphones and iPhones being used, growing numbers of traders are starting to follow currency price movements directly on their mobile phone.

But how is it possible to trade directly on the Forex from your phone and what applications are available?
These important questions will be answered here with explanations on how to monitor your positions even when you are far from your home, using the new technologies.

Due to increasing demand from individual investors, growing numbers of Forex brokers offer their users trading platforms that are accessible using Smartphones and iPhones. This can be testified through the huge success of one particular application available for the iPhone, “Forex On The Go” that allows the user to follow various price quotations in real time, as well as consult the economic calendar, the various charts and daily technical indicators as well as visualize the pivot points. In addition, although this application is available as a Premium version, there is also a Lite version available, totally free in exchange for the display of some pertinent advertisements. This free version offers exactly the same functions as the payable version and also has a system enabling a one click refresh of the page without the need to wait for the automatic update which can sometimes be long enough to distort speculations.

The Web Trader platform is also associated with the company that designed this application and the latter should soon make MT4 live. You will easily find a free download of this application at the Apple or Itune Store.

In addition, other brokers have developed specific trading platforms for Smartphones and iPhones. These platforms are almost identical to those that you can download online and have the quasi-totality of the initial functions. However, some Forex trading platforms for Smartphones do not offer certain functions or certain tools for practical and technical reasons. If you wish to benefit from currencies trading on your telephone it is therefore highly recommended to carefully choose your broker at the beginning and verify if they offer a mobile trading application and which are the functions available.

Finally, as the Smartphones and iPhones market is in full expansion and the community of IT developers drawn by the Forex is growing too, we expect to see applications related to the currencies trading strongly developing in the years to come. It is becoming increasingly easier to follow your positions and to make orders wherever you are.
