GFT’s New iPhone Application

GFT Global Markets UK Ltd, the spread betting and CFD provider owned by Global Forex Trading has launched its latest version of the iPhone application for traders today; this being the fifth mobile trading system the company has developed since 2004.

The application is offered free to all clients and is available for download from the iTunes® App Store℠ by searching for ‘DealBook’ using their iPhone device or from iTunes on their own PC. The application provides GFT clients with instant access to real-time prices, charting and order execution. Clients are now able to deal quickly in more than 120 forex pairs while spread betters and CFD traders now get instant on-the-move access to more than more than 3,000 tradable markets.

DealBook for iPhone features include:

- Full-screen, real-time charts for in-depth analysis.
- Buy-sell quotes, as well as the daily high, daily low, open, close, net change and percent change.
- Order capabilities, including market, stop, limit, OCO and parent & contingent orders.
- Ability to track and modify working orders or open positions.
- A range of 16 different market studies (indicators) for market analysis.
- Real-time news headline ticker and full-length feature stories.
- Price alarms: e-mail and audible alerts when the market hits a certain price.
- Three chart types (bar, candlestick and line), seven timeframes (1m, 5m, 30m, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month).

‘Trading is a dedicated endeavor, but traders don’t spend all of their time at their desks,’ said Gary L. Tilkin, president and CEO, GFT.

‘Their mind is always ‘where are my trades and the markets right now?’ Giving traders real-time market access, charting and order-execution of their GFT account is a key aspect that this application provides,’ he said. ‘We launched the DealBook iPhone application so traders can manage their trading activities whenever and wherever they want to,’ he said.

In addition to the iPhone and iPod Touch, GFT offers DealBook Mobile for its customers using other mobile operating systems, including WAP (basic web access protocol), BlackBerry®, Windows® Mobile and several devices specific to Japan.
