Bringing financial trading to mobile devices, one can access the latest market updates on the go with the City Trading App. Users can even carry out transactions on the app itself with relative ease. However, to be able to use the City Trading App, users are required to sign up for a live City Index trading account before the app can be used.

For the layman, financial trading has always appeared to be visually complicated thanks to the dozens of charts and graphs that populate analyses. However, with City Trading, everything is made relatively simple through a well planned arrangement of items, diagrams, and tabs. For instance, graphs are placed in a small but noticeable corner amidst other details, but can be opened up for further analysis.

I liked how the different tabs in City Trading, located at the bottom of the screen, make navigation so much simpler by allowing for easy and quick access to important functions. Of course, trading on an app cannot beat using an actual computer for reasons of complexity, and portable devices are a little hard to read and scrutinize.

However, for a free app, City Trading is worth the download. Providing financial information on the go, this will go a long way in helping traders keep themselves updated with the latest market information anytime and anywhere.

About Spread Betting and CFD trading:

Spread betting and CFD trading allows you to trade the price movements of financial markets without holding the underlying investments directly. Regardless of the direction in which the markets fluctuate, you can take a position to gain exposure to this movement. Only a fraction of the capital outlay is required compared to trading the underlying market directly, however this means that the level of risk to your capital is greater and you may lose more than your initial deposit. As a result spread betting may not be suitable for all investors, ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary.
