Looking for a stock trading application for your iPhone?
There’s more than a handful out there for sure, but here is a list of 5 very nice (and free) apps that are certainly worth checking out. (Know of another good one? Comment below!)
1. iSwim
Built by thinkorswim, iSwim is a full featured stock trading platform, straight on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It allows to trade stocks, options, futures, and even features some metrics to help analyze risk and performance.
2. Bloomberg
The Bloomberg app is packed with news from around the world, headlines, quotes, charts and tools to analyze the markets and customize the information according to your needs.
3. iTrade
iTrade is a stock trading simulator. A perfect way to gain experience without having to sacrifice money! With up to date quotes, news, and a community of users, iTrade is a very realistic simulation, perfect for beginners and anyone wishing to test stock trading strategies.
4. Yahoo! stocks
Yahoo!’s stock application ships by default with the iPhone. It’s an intuitive, simple and easy to use app to check up quotes and updates on stocks.
5. DailyFinance
DailyFinance (from AOL) provides real time stock quotes, stock market news as well as a handy way to manage multiple stock portfolios. Very nice app for general purposes.
That’s it! Most stock brokers are also coming up with great apps, such as the ones from eTrade (Etrade Mobile Pro), Bank of America (Bank of America Mobile), TD Ameritrade (iStockManager) and Chase (Chase Mobile). If you’re a client of those, check their apps as well, they are worth it.
Nice It works great, but a friend suggested itrade. Can you advice if I should switch. i feel comfortable with yahoo but can switch if there are major advantages.
Trading stocks on the beach. Drinking coctails and making profit.
Like it :)
Thank you man.This aplications are very cool.
Great Applications. The best one is Yahoo Stocks application.
I stick with Daily Finance, very cool app !
The best app for me is budget-planner. No need for any other after the update
The iPhone is just an amazing device. With all these gadgets available, Apple have clearly outdone themselves!
Wallstreet.. here i come…
Excellent apps. Great round up. Thanks
Very nice apps, I use iTrade because I’m a beginners, and it’s a real great tool to learn how everything works before playing for real money :)
Bloomberg application is the “have to have” app. People need to read up to date news. Very useful application.
bloomberg app excellent.
You should have provided links to some of these.. that would have helped.. anyhow this list is pretty good! thanks!
Thats nice application. Mostly it wil be useful for traders. Thanks for sharing.

This list misses what is probably the best Finance app of all: PortfolioLive. I mean, when is the last time you could stand in the line at the Grocery store and be watching your portfolio ticking in real time in the palm of your hand? PortfolioLive handles unlimited Portfolios, multiple lots per position, mutual funds, and the list goes on and on …
