For many years, forex traders were forced to sit in front of their desktop computers. However, much like many other industries, the forex trading market has joined the mobile brigade, and now offer traders the convenience of trading on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. What was on offer started out pretty dismally but it seems that forex brokers and other industry related businesses are now picking up their act.

It is no secret that smartphone trading has given traders the ultimate freedom. Until recently, trading required you to spend several hours in front of a computer or laptop each week. Thanks to smartphones and tablets, these days you can trade from anywhere with a good internet connection.
