Try Your Luck With These Stock Trading Apps For Android

Whether you are a seasoned player or are just making your first steps in this risky, yet promising game, you will appreciate a handful of apps that will help you monitor various stock change and keep your hand on the pulse

Bloomberg

We are starting off with the obvious. Bloomberg, known as one of the top financial media companies, also has an app. It will allow you stay up-to-date with the all the news of the financial world in general and the stock market in particular. If you are already in the game, you will also be able to track your portfolio. If you are just discovering the field – you can sign up for one Bloomberg’s many informative apps: Bloomberg Radio + or Bloomberg Businessweek + or become a member of more advanced ones, like Bloomberg Professional (which will come with a subscription fee and is thus recommended for advanced users with stock market experience).

SGX Stocks Calculator

When it comes to making investment decisions, it’s worth to spend the extra time calculating and doing the ground work, no matter how boring it may seem. If you are just starting out in the field, you may benefit from special calculator apps, like SGX Stocks Calculator to make quick and specific calculations to find out the profit/loss amount and percentages and  break down numerous associated fees and charges. Unlike the default Android calculator you may already have, SGX will feature a few key trade-related shortcuts, letting you get your numbers down quicker and with less effort.

Stock Quote

Stock Quote is a pretty much all-in-one package when it comes to trading information. The app will show you stock changes in real time, as well as pre-market quotes, and you will be able to track your own portfolio and get updates on news from major sources and social sites. Basically, having Stock Quote on your phone means that you will have a constant source of trading and stock information, delivered to you timely. Despite its comprehensive nature, the app is not heavyweight and you will be able to keep it handy without too much of a resource drain.

Stock Trainer: Virtual Trading

If you are not yet ready to step into the real and harsh world of finance and become the next Wolf Of Wall Street, you may benefit from some stock market simulation, that will give you the feel of the real finance world, and at the same time prepare you for its real-world consequences. You will start off with a limited balance (just like in real life) and will then use your transactions to improve your financial portfolio. The app works with the real market data and gets you as close as possible to the reality of the situation, letting you know how much you would have made or lost. It may be a nice first step into the world of fincancial trading and a way to slowly check out if you have what it takes to go further.

StockTwits

As you may have guessed, the app works like Twitter – but for stock traders or the ones on the way to the profession. You will get short and informative updates from fellow stock traders. The app is as close to the world of trading as you will be able to get to digitally and following unofficial and real-time opinion sharing from people in the business can prove to be more helpful than official schooling.
