Mobile Trading Capabilities
What you can do:
Mobile trading provides comprehensive position management including opening, closing, and modifying stops and targets. You can perform bot operations such as pausing, resuming, stopping, and viewing performance. The platform offers market analysis with charts, alerts, order books, and market data, plus complete account monitoring including portfolio, P&L, balance, and risk metrics.
Limitations:
Mobile trading cannot create custom strategies, run backtests, or configure complex bots, and has limited chart analysis tools. Use the web app for setup and mobile for execution.
