TECHNOLOGY: Barchart App Provides Data for Stocks, Futures and Forex in Single Place

Now traders can find nearly all the trading data they need for multiple asset classes in a single app.

Barchart.com, a provider of market data and information, has upgraded its free financial mobile app to include global data for stocks, futures and foreign exchange for traders. Armed with more comprehensive data, traders can employ more advanced and/or efficient trading strategies to increase their alpha capture.

The app is available for iOS and Android devices.

The app provides comprehensive financial data for standard charting, as well as provide extensive analysis and information, company income statements, related stock options, headlines and news and company performance reports.

The original Barchart.com mobile app was launched in November 2013.

“Today’s savvy investors are rarely focused on only one stock, one type of investment or one market. Yet, until now, to get a comprehensive view of multiple market data, investors would need to install up to half a dozen apps or more,” said Boris Wexler, director of web development for Barchart. “Barchart provides investors and traders with a comprehensive solution for managing and tracking multiple investments and accessing all of the information they need.”

Unlike other popular financial tracking apps, which are singularly focused on one market, the Barchart mobile app aggregates data and offers extensive coverage from all major financial trading markets. As a result, investors can not only track the performance of multiple investments from multiple markets, but can also easily see the correlations and impact of market fluctuations and global financial news on their portfolio.

In addition to real-time BATS quotes, charts, technical analysis, fundamentals, news and options, registered Barchart.com users can also view their saved portfolios, saved charts and local weather. To maximize user experience, Barchart has recently added cosmetic changes as well as significant upgrades including:

-Multiple watchlists track all types of symbols regardless of market on a single screen
-The stock screener filters through thousands of symbols based on 70 different criteria
-A wide-range of opinion sources on one page with buy/sell indicators
-The futures heatmap provides insight on the market’s direction
-Performance reports for each symbol
-European Futures, ICE, Eurex and Euronext
-A Forex major markets page with easy access and overviews

The Barchart mobile app also provides a variety of features including in-app purchases, full access to Barchart Opinions, Trading Strategies, and over 50 chart studies.
