How to choose

Reliability under load

A mobile app must stay up during volatile sessions — check the platform's outage history.

Full features, not a stripped-down view

Make sure the mobile app supports the order types and data you need, not just simple buys.

Security features

Look for biometric login, 2FA and withdrawal protections.

What to watch out for

  • Trading on mobile makes impulsive trades easier — build guardrails.
  • Some apps limit advanced features on mobile.
