TD Waterhouse has launched a mobile phone trading app that can be used with its trading, individual savings account, and self-invested personal pensions accounts.

The app, available free to iPhone and iPod Touch users will enable users to trade across 15 international markets in nine different currencies.
 
Customers will also have mobile access to portfolio summaries, live quotes and be able to create a specific 'watch list' to monitor potential opportunities in real time.

Darren Hepworth, trading and customer services director at TD Waterhouse, said, 'With the current fast moving international markets equity investors require the tools that enable them to monitor their investments and immediately react to market volatility.

'We have already seen customers embrace the flexibility of online trading - with over 96 per cent of trades placed with TD currently made online - and the introduction of mobile trading provides the perfect accompaniment to this service.'

Non-customers will also be able to used the app for features that do not require a TD Waterhouse account.
