FOREX.com Launches as iPhone Application

GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc., a provider of online trading services specializing in foreign exchange and contracts for difference, has announced the release of FOREXTrader, a new iPhone application which offers full forex and precious metal trading capabilities, among many other noteworthy features.

Complementing FOREX.com's newly launched mobile website, FOREXTrader for iOS provides quotes, charts, news and research and an extensive learning section featuring articles, video tutorials and more, according to a report issued by GAIN Capital Holdings today.

"Due to the round the clock nature of the forex market, mobile account access is an imperative for our customers," said Samantha Roady, chief marketing officer for GAIN Capital.  "As a result, we're investing heavily in our mobile offering – significantly enhancing our mobile web trading experience as well as with the development of select native apps for the most popular devices, like the iPhone," said Ms. Roady.  

The company proceeds to outline some of the main benefits offered by its free application, which include quotes in 45 currency pairs, including spot gold and silver; a variety of order types, including market, limit, stop, One Cancels Others (OCO), If Then, If Then / OCO and Trailing Stop; live newsfeed from Dow Jones; FOREX.com's proprietary FOREXInsider, providing streaming market commentary and analysis during market hours; daily research reports, including intraday market updates for each trading session; candlestick and line charts with multiple time intervals; updated economic calendar optimized for mobile devices, and more.

"Over 80 percent of the visitors to our mobile website are on iPhones or iPod Touch devices.  In developing our iPhone app, we looked to replicate as much of our award-winning FOREX.com user experience as possible, while taking full advantage of the intuitive interface and the robust customization that can be achieved in the Apple development environment," continued Ms. Roady.

FOREXTrader for iOS is available to the US market only, and requires iOS 3.0 or later. The application is compatible not only with all iPhone models, but iPod touch and iPad as well. GAIN Capital Holdings promises to release the app globally in the coming weeks.
