tradeMONSTER Releases Powerful Mobile App

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--tradeMONSTER® announced today the release of tradeMONSTER Mobile, its markedly innovative and patent pending mobile trading app, the first and only proprietary mobile trading app built on HTML5. tradeMONSTER Mobile users benefit from having a mobile experience that now closely replicates its web-based trading platform rated “Best for Options Traders” three years running by Barron’s.

“Using a new web technology, HTML5, to bring the functionality of our main, real-time trading platform to mobile, and at the same to create a user experience that exceeds the mobile experience of native mobile apps, is an achievement our company and our customers are extremely excited about”

“With the new tradeMONSTER Mobile, I seamlessly transition my trading from desktop to mobile without needing to reorient or sacrifice the use of our professional grade tools,” said Pete Najarian, co-founder of tradeMONSTER and optionMONSTER. “As a result, it’s easier for me to monitor and engage the market anytime I’m away from my office.”

tradeMONSTER was the first to introduce a truly web-based, customizable trading platform with free streaming data. Here again, tradeMONSTER is the first in the industry to define user experience by offering customers a responsive, mobile design mirroring the ease of use its award winning web platform is known for.

“Using a new web technology, HTML5, to bring the functionality of our main, real-time trading platform to mobile, and at the same to create a user experience that exceeds the mobile experience of native mobile apps, is an achievement our company and our customers are extremely excited about,” said Dirk Mueller, co-founder and CEO of optionMONSTER Holdings, Inc., owner of tradeMONSTER. Added Sanjib Sahoo, CTO of tradeMONSTER: “By solving several challenges associated with HTML5, our technology team has built a breakthrough product where others have fallen short.”
