DUKASCOPY's Swiss FOREX iPhone App

The Swiss based Forex broker Dukascopy allows hedge funds, banks, professional traders and retail traders to participate in the global foreign exchange market. As an ECN broker Dukascopy offers not only high liquidity, but also a transparent pricing and tight spreads. For trading, various Java and Web-based trading platforms are available. Some of them allows the development and execution of automated trading strategies. Dukascopy recently added the very popular MetaTrader 4 to their trading platforms. But the use of MetaTrader 4 is still considered "beta testing". For iPhone owners Dukascopy offers the Swiss Forex - iPhone Application. This application is free and has a large number of useful FX tools. These tools include:

  • Live quotes and charts of about 20 currency pairs
  • Market News and calendar with important dates
  • Daily High / Lows and Movers / Shakers
  • Pivot Point Calculator

Another interesting feature is Dukascopy Forex TV. This is a video stream with the latest information, important economic data, sentiment analysis for the major currency pairs, and Forex market analysis. Recently, a funny cartoon series, called AvatarForex, started. It is based on the extremely popular James Cameron film "Avatar".
Unfortunately, accessing your own trading account with this app is not possible. But its many features make this app a very useful companion. Traders, who like to trade their Dukascopy account with their iPhone have to be a bit more patient. According to Dukascopy, their technical department is just developing an iPhone trading App for this purpose. But an exact release date is currently not known.
