| App Review | |
Eightcap supports the MT4, MT5 and TradingView apps (the only FCA regulated broker offering TradingView), catering to mobile traders looking for advanced charting tools. While we don’t love the increasingly outdated design of the MetaTrader suite, its dozens of technical indicators and drawing tools, multiple charting styles, and straightforward overlays in horizontal mode are excellent. The push notifications and active social network on the TradingView app are also valuable additions for aspiring traders and Eightcap has published helpful videos on connecting TradingView accounts to iOS and Android devices. |
Exness Trade offers the complete mobile trading experience, delivering the broker’s fast execution speeds, hundreds of tradable CFDs and user-friendly, TradingView-powered charts right from your palm. Downloaded more than 10 million times, it’s an excellent option for active traders looking to manage their accounts and capitalize on market opportunities on the move. |
