IG Markets, the UK's leading provider of Contracts for Difference (CFDs)†, has announced that investors can now download a trading platform for the iPad.
The market for tablet computers is currently seeing explosive growth both in the UK and overseas, with the iPad widely acknowledged as being by far the most popular choice among consumers.
Customisable iPad CFD Trading App
Arman Tahmassebi, Managing Director of IG Markets, commented:
'The launch of our iPad app means we're now offering our clients an unparalleled choice when it comes to trading on a mobile device. We're already offering dedicated applications for BlackBerry, iPhone and Android smartphones, while software is also available to download for a range of more traditional handsets. Rounding all this off, our Windows Phone 7 platform is well under development too.'
“CFD Trading with IG Markets on the iPad will offer users the ability to customise the layout of the application, showing a combination of watch lists, order tickets and charts simultaneously.
“Furthermore, non-clients will be able to download the IG Markets iPad trading app is free of charge and receive access to a range of live quotes including the IG Markets FTSE 100 price.

Arman Tahmassebi, added:
'There can be no denying how popular the IG Markets iPhone app has been to date. By the end of September we'd seen 45,000 unique downloads and it now accounts for around 15% of all the transactions carried out by our clients.
Judging by the initial response from users, we're confident that the bigger screen and customisable layout will make our trading platform on the iPad just as compelling a proposition.'
It is estimated† that 3.62 million people currently own tablet computers in the UK, with Apple having a 73% share. Forecasts state that a further two million devices will be sold in the country during 2012.
