Do prop firm traders need a mobile app?

Question

Accepted Answer

Many traders want to check positions and close trades from a phone, so mobile access matters. A responsive web terminal covers much of this; a native app is better for frequent mobile users and notifications. Most firms find a good browser terminal plus at least one mobile app sufficient.
Options:
Responsive web terminal: works on any device with no install.
Android app: reaches a large share of traders, especially in emerging markets.
iOS app: important in some markets; app store review adds time.
What traders need on mobile:
Positions and orders at a glance.
One-tap close and stop loss changes.
Live equity and rule headroom.
PropExecutor's terminal runs in the browser on phones and tablets, and an Android app is available. There is no iPhone app at present. The Basic plan includes a mobile app, and the Growth plan a white-label-ready mobile app.
### What to tell traders
Say clearly in your onboarding which devices are supported and where to download any app. Traders searching app stores for an app that does not exist create avoidable support tickets.
Track which devices your traders use; that data tells you whether a native app is worth prioritising.
