WARNING

Trading exposes you to the risk of losses greater than deposits. This activity is only suitable for well-advised clients who have the financial means to bear such a risk and who are able to understand how the products traded work.

Highly speculative and particularly complex, transactions on foreign exchange instruments (FOREX) and contracts for difference (CFD) are accompanied by a high level of risk due to the leverage effect.

Yahoo Finance

If there is a site that has quickly positioned itself in the niche of financial information and quotations, it is Yahoo! and its Yahoo Finance mobile app.

The trading experience itself differs significantly.

On a computer , the Trader has one or even several large screens, sophisticated analysis tools allowing him to closely observe trends and effectively identify opportunities on the markets. It can also limit distractions via specialized deep work software , and place orders very quickly. However, no one can stay in front of their PC screen 24 hours a day so as not to miss any opportunity…

On mobile phone , the investor has the possibility to trade from anywhere. A great way to constantly keep an eye on the markets and not miss any opportunity to invest. However, the trading experience is not as rich: placing an order on mobile is slower, the only screen available is small, and the possibilities in terms of technical analysis are limited.

The main advantage of Trading applications for your practice of investing in the financial markets is of course their accessibility .

By placing your orders from your mobile, you can be much more responsive, seize opportunities to enter the market, or on the contrary exit a risky position, at any time of the day.

Similarly, Trading applications are particularly suitable for beginners or occasional Traders , who no longer need to invest in computer equipment to start their activity.

For more experienced Traders, the apps represent a completely complementary support , allowing them greater responsiveness when on the move.

The Disadvantages of Using a Mobile Trading App

While trading applications have tended to catch up with desktop software in recent years, they still lag behind desktop software in terms of functionality.

Depending on the applications, it is possible that the number of assets available is limited, and that the tools at your disposal in terms of market monitoring and technical analysis are much more limited than on a computer.

Moreover, due to their very accessible and gamified nature , Trading apps can lead to addictive behavior , which can ultimately lead to financial loss. It is therefore advisable to remain measured as to their use during the day (and night).
