Operating on 570 servers of Forex brokerages, the MetaTrader 4 platform that is published by MetaQuotes is, hands-down, the most popular and widely-used Forex trading platform in the world. And, although the company regularly updates its software in what it hopes are the best interests of its traders, few upgrades are as significant as the release of the MetaTrader 4 platform for Android phones which took place this week. Two months after the release of its iPhone application, MetaQuotes is finally offering the same mobile Fore trading ability to its Android users, allowing traders worldwide to execute trades even while away from their desktops.
According to Gaes Chreis, the COO of the MetaQuotes Software Corporation, mobile MT4 trading is now available to 70% of smartphone users – but the company aims to make their service available to all smartphone users in the coming months.
The MT4 Android app can be downloaded for free in the Google Play marketplace. And, of course, if you plan to engage in mobile Forex trading on your Android, make sure to download the free DailyForex.com Android app which will provide you with market updates and research to solidify your trades before they're placed.
