Ada, Mich. May 26, 2009 – Forex traders using Apple's® popular iPhone™ now have the forex market at their fingertips. The new application — available now at the Apple® iTunes® store — offers all of the best features of FX360.com, but in a fast, portable iPhone™-based format.
The FX360® iPhone™ application features real time quotes for the major currency pairs, oil and gold, as well as U.S., European, Asian equity and bond markets. It also offers dynamic intraday charts and a real-time economic calendar with updated numbers, descriptions and historical data.
The institutional-level currency market research and analysis for which FX360.com is known can also be accessed directly from the iPhone™, including commentary by forex gurus Kathy Lien and Boris Schlossberg, as well as basic and advanced technical analysis reports from analysts Roger Stojsic and Bradley Gareiss.
The quote board, dynamic charting and economic calendar help traders identify potential trade opportunities, while users can also sign up for free FX News Alerts to receive breaking currency news, commentary and trade ideas delivered right to their iPhone™ or email.
FX360® Director of Currency Research Boris Schlossberg said the iPhone™ application was a natural progression from the original intent of FX360.com.
"From the beginning, we wanted FX360.com to be a place where all traders could get professional market news, commentary and analysis they could use to place better trades," he said. "With more and more people using their mobile phones as mini information centers, we felt that it was time to offer our users access to real-time charting, market quotes and news even when they're away from the computer."
Kathy Lien, Director of Currency Research, FX360® agreed, adding that the new app is about empowering traders.
"The markets are moving constantly and it's important to have access to up-to-the-minute information," she said. "We're proud to offer traders the opportunity to track markets and view important news and commentary right on their iPhones™."
The FX360® iPhone™ application is available now in the Apple® iTunes® store. To download, go to the iTunes® Store and search for FX360 or visit www.fx360.com and click on the iPhone™ App Store button.
