TD Ameritrade Mobile Trader
TD Ameritrade's Mobile Trader app lets investors buy and sell stocks directly from their iPhones, iPads and Android smartphones, while offering extensive watch-list options. The app allows users to trade exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, options, futures and forex. It also provides fake cash that investors can use to test their strategies before they put their own money on the line. And if you're at the mall or the supermarket, TD Ameritrade's "Snapstock" feature allows you to snap a picture of a product's barcode to look up the public company behind the label and instantly trade its stock.
