OANDA has announced an update to its fxTrade offering for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. The company’s app allows users to monitor forex market activity as well as manage positions, control risk, and monitor account status and profitability while on the go.

“We are excited to finally bring robust desktop trading functionality to the smartphone,” says Trevor Young, senior director of product management at OANDA. “In the past three years our clients have progressed from merely checking positions and prices with our mobile app to using it to plan and execute trades. As mobile continues to evolve as the go-to computing platform, OANDA will be at the forefront of mobile trading technology design with our commitment to provide the types of trading experiences our customers expect from a trusted forex innovator.”

Key features of the new version include: Advanced charting functionality that allows users to overlay various technical indicators for enhanced price-data analysis; Customisable charts in a greater range of intervals (ranging from five seconds to one day); Full visibility into price action from a single screen, with continuous display of current prices even when manipulating chart parameters; User interface that allows easier chart navigation, one-handed chart manipulation, scrolling trade history, and pinch-to-zoom capabilities; Streaming news feeds from top providers such as Dow Jones, Thomson Reuters, 4Cast, and UBS Analysis (iPhone and Android only); Push notifications for limit orders, stop loss and take profit actions, margin notifications, and price alerts (price-alert notifications are not available on iPad)
