City Index Mobile Trading Numbers Swell Thanks to Award-Winning App

LONDON, July 12, 2011 -

City Index ( href="www.cityindex.co.uk/">www.cityindex.co.uk/),
a global leader in spread betting and CFD trading, has received
much acclaim for its mobile trading output in the last 12 months -
culminating in the company winning MoneyAM’s ‘Best Mobile Trading
Platform’ award for the second year running.

City Trading™, the company’s mobile trading app for the iPhone™,
was voted 2010’s ‘Best Mobile Trading Platform’ by readers of both
MoneyAM and Shares Magazine. It was also named the FT and Investors
Chronicle Innovation of the Year.

The spread betting and CFD trading provider has since released an
updated version of City Trading™, including a comprehensive live
charting package and newsfeeds from Dow Jones Newswires.

Though awards are always an encouraging sign, the real measure
of success for any new trading technology lies in how the trading
public embrace it. Joshua Raymond, Chief Market Strategist at City
Index, states: “Since the release of City Trading™, the percentage
of total trades placed on our mobile platforms has risen from less
than 3% to 15%, which underlines just what an impact the City
Trading™ app has had on traders’ behaviour.”
