THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE TRADING ON MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Account Opening And Closure Process
Many mobile trading apps provide a seamless process of opening an account. However, it is essential to ensure that closing is also as easy.
Make Sure It Has All You Need
It is crucial that whichever mobile trading app you use has all the features necessary to achieve your desired results.
Fees And Charges
Most mobile trading apps are free to download and install. Two preliminary charges to look out for before using a mobile trading app are Account Maintenance Charges (AMC) and Transaction Charges.
You cannot avoid these charges. However, you can check that the charges are suitable for you.
