Spread Bet on the Go With the iPhone Trading App from City Index
LONDON, March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
City Index spread betting account holders can benefit from their award-winning City Trading™ iPhone™ app, which provides them with the opportunity to trade wherever they are, whenever they want.
The City Trading app from City Index is available to spread betting and CFD trading account holders across iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices.
Mobile Trading
In February 2011, it was reported that approximately 15 per cent of trades being placed through City Index were done through the mobile trading platform.
Joshua Raymond, Chief Market Strategist at City Index, commented that mobile trading is 'undoubtedly the future of spread betting'; a view which is reinforced by their clients' heightened trading activity via their mobile devices.
Traders using the mobile trading platform can access the full range of spread bet markets and order types available through its online trading platform.
Whilst the attraction of trading through a mobile platform focuses on the heightened access to price movements; this, like the margin feature on which spread bettors trade, is somewhat a double-edged sword.
Risk
In the same way that the low margin feature offered to traders choosing to spread bet can act as a double-edged sword, so can the easy-access feature of the mobile trading platform.
Considering your trading strategy; focus is placed around how you trade, your expectations and your level of control. This strategy must be applied whether trading through your standard platform, or via your mobile phone.
A risk that can come of mobile trading is the desire to trade on impulse. With constant exposure to price movements, it can be tempting to place a trade without first researching and analysing that market which could lead to potential losses.
