The app is free and will give clients access to their Contracts for Difference and Financial Spread Trading account.
Clients accessing the app will have the flexibility of being able to trade on the move - placing new live trades, amending orders and setting stop and limit orders. Clients will have instant access to live prices and market movements, as well as the ability to view their entire trading history at a glance with an account summary.
The full range of order types is available through the app, and clients can also monitor their favourite markets though watch lists and use the positions charts to check how their positions are performing.
The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple iTunes App Store.
Paul Inkster, Head of Product, Barclays Stockbrokers, comments:
"Contracts for Difference (CFD) and Financial Spread Trading (FST) are high risk but exciting alternatives to conventional trading, where experienced investors can speculate on the movement of equities, indices, sectors and currencies.
"With the launch of the app we are strengthening our proposition and have responded to client demand - ensuring they have all the tools they need to trade in the most efficient and flexible way. Our clients will be able to access the same markets as they can on our online trading platform and with 12,000 markets available, there is now no reason to miss a trade.
"This sophisticated tool enables investors to set guaranteed stop losses on existing positions, and also gives them instant trade confirmation."
