Further to the recent introduction of mobile trading applications by Tadawul FX, mobile forex trading has seen a growth in volume of 175% over the past month alone. The MT4 Mobile Forex trading applications for BlackBerry, Android, iPhone and iPad provided by the Forex broker have been downloaded by many of its traders, allowing trading on the go with easy access. The continued volatility in the markets has also prompted clients to trade more frequently and further capitalize on opportunities to increase profit potential.

With a strong reputation for its focus on offering premier customer support, European licensed online Forex and CFDs broker Tadawul FX, continues to prove that adapting to customers’ needs is of utmost importance to the company.

A few short months after the launch of its upgraded mobile trading platforms, including apps for Blackberry, Android, iPad and iPhone, Windows Mobile and Smartphone, Tadawul FX has experienced an impressive 175% increase in mobile forex trading volume. A web-based Forex trading platform which was simultaneously launched, and which allows access via mobile phone and PC, was also very well received and has been used extensively by Tadawul FX traders.

In line with the overall increase in trading volumes seen across the industry in 2011, Tadawul FX has also experienced a large uplift, both due to the growth of the company and its client base, and also due to the volatility of the markets, which translates directly into large market movements and therefore further opportunities for trades. Global factors such as the unrest in the Middle East, the UK riots, incidents of natural disasters and so on, cause great shifts in the markets, allowing traders to take advantage and capitalize on these upward and downward market movements.

Stavros Yiannakou, Chief Executive Officer of Tadawul FX, explains that the increase in trading volume has been significant this year. “The benefit of Forex trading, which makes it superior to other investment asset classes, is that it requires market movement to make a profit, which can be on either site of the market’s directional movements. So even in a downturn there is potential to make money. And the larger the movement, the more potential there is for profit. With clients from 142 countries, Tadawul FX has seen a marked increase in trading volume, especially from European and Middle East regions directly linked to these large movements.”

Thomas Papantoniou, Chief Operations Officer of Tadawul FX, explains the impact of mobile trading applications on this increase. “With mobile trading, Tadawul FX clients have more opportunity to take advantage of these sudden and large market movements and to better tap into the volatility to their benefit, wherever they are. So far, the most popular mobile apps for our traders have been the iPhone and iPad, followed by Android, Blackberry and Windows. The wide variety of platforms covered, coupled with the option of a web-based interface, and a large choice of language options, is giving our customers direct access to the MetaTrader 4 platform and eliminating the need to download the platform altogether.”

Papantoniou adds, “Platform non-dependency and the simultaneous launch in 10 languages were specifically intended to take advantage of this market volatility. Our mobile applications have all been designed with practicality, speed and user-friendliness in mind. Traders can monitor prices on Forex and CFDs in real time, create ‘favourites’ and ‘watchlists’ for specific interests key to their portfolio. Traders also have the ability to open and close instant market orders, amend and place existing orders including SellStop, StopLoss, BuyStop and TakeProfit. There are user guides available if needed, in conjunction of course with our 24 hour support. The intention of these applications is ultimately to better inform our clients, which will inevitably lead to better trading. Backed by the trading results of 2011 and the popularity of these mobile trading apps so far, it seems our clients are after precisely the same thing, which is simply another way to effectively stay on top of a fast moving market, and another way to make greater profits.”

MB Trading FX , a technology-driven Forex brokerage offering STP and ECN execution via MetaTrader 4 as well as multiple trading platforms, announced today the launch of its Free ECN pricing structure. MB Trading FX is the first Forex broker to offer free ECN trading.“The ECN model has matured, and MB Trading FX has led those changes. We believe now is the time to again raise the bar with a commission-free ECN model. This bundles the best of all things FOREX to date—an ECN model with orders reflecting on our Limit book, customers able to cross orders with one another, and a non-fixed spread where all participants may reduce the spread with their bids and offers,” said Ross Ditlove, CEO of MB Trading. “Some traders clearly prefer to not have a commission added to their trade after the fact. With this plan, we take our bank fee and apply a small mark-up to cover our costs. The price that is reflected in the montage is the total trade cost. For clients who prefer to only post their limit orders, MB Trading FX will continue to offer its hugely successful Pay for Limits plan, which to date has paid clients over half a million dollars in rebates.” The company is the first brokerage to offer such a pricing structure via its MetaTrader 4 platform. MB Trading FX is now accepting live accounts for the new pricing model and has updated its website to display comparisons of its spreads to other non-commission brokers on its website, www.mbtrading.com. ”Thanks to MB Trading FX’s neutrality, our bank quotes are very  competitive, thus we can add a small mark-up into the quote and compete with any spread-based Forex broker while still showcasing our ECN technology to allow retail customers to enjoy these benefits,” said David Lipsett, Executive Vice-President of MB Trading.
