-- One-click execution on market trades and limit orders
-- 24/7 trading on 54 currency pairs and 4 precious metal pairs
-- Trading from several views within the app: Rates, Buy/Sell, Positions,
Trades (open trades can be closed from the Positions and Trades views)
-- Limit order features: take profit, stop loss, trailing stops, lower
and upper bounds
-- Custom views of real-time exchange rate data
-- Candlestick and Min/Max charts in multiple timeframes
-- Landscape color charting for optimal visualization
-- Dynamic account values available: unrealized/realized P&L; margin
used/available; net asset value

"With the launch of fxTrade Mobile for iPhone, we are continuing our push to make the forex trading market more accessible and more fair," says Michael Stumm, CEO, OANDA Corporation.
