FxPro app

FxPro is a global broker, winner of over 95 UK and international Forex awards. It was voted "Best Online Forex Trading Platform (UK)" in 2022 by Global Brands Magazine, and was voted "Best Forex Provider" from 2014 through to 2019 by the Financial Times.

Trade CFDs over 2,100 financial instruments spanning Forex, shares, indices, metals and futures on the go. FxPro's app supports MetaTrader 4, 5 as well as cTrader and is available on iOS and Android.

HF Markets app (formerly HotForex)

The HF App was voted "Best Forex Mobile Application" by traders in the 2019 Forex Awards. Trade CFDs over 3,500 financial instruments across a range of markets, on MetaTrader 4 or 5. Switch between 20 technical indicators and trade directly from the charts. Access breaking news and HF Markets research within the app.

Since its launch in 2010, over 3,500,000 traders have opened an account with HF Markets. Customer support is available in over 25 languages, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. HF Markets is regulated by the FCA (UK), CySec (EU), the FSCA (South Africa) and the DFSA (UAE) among others. Visit HFM.com for more information.

Plus500 app

The Plus500 app was voted "Best Trading App" in the 2019 DayTrading.com Awards. Unlike HotForex and FxPro, Plus500 has built its platform from the ground-up. Whilst this provides Plus500 with more control over the user experience, this may disappoint traders familiar with the MetaTrader platform.

Plus500's app has consistently attracted top ratings in Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. We were impressed with Plus500's charting tools, which support a wide range of technical indicators. You may also draw support and resistance lines on the charts, and extend these into the future, which is helpful if you are trying to make predictions.

Plus500 customer support is available on a 24/7 basis in 16 languages (its platform is available in 32 languages). The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and authorised by the FCA (UK), CySEC (EU), the Australian and South African regulators, among others. Visit Plus500.com to download the app.
