DealBook® for iPhone offers Real-time, Tradable Pricing, Charting and Quotes

SYDNEY, Australia, December 14, 2009 – GFT, an online forex dealer and market-maker in CFDs, launched its free iPhone application for traders worldwide today - the fifth mobile trading platform the company has developed since 2004.

The free app is immediately available for download from iTunes, providing GFT customers with on-the-go access to trade real-time financial markets, including the more than 120 currency pairs it offers worldwide and the more than 3,000 tradable markets it offers CFDs in Australia, and other countries worldwide.

“Trading is a dedicated endeavor, but traders don't spend all of their time at their desks,” said Gary L. Tilkin, president and CEO, GFT.

"Their mind is always 'where are my trades and the markets right now?' Giving traders real-time market access, charting and order-execution of their GFT account is a key aspect that this application provides,” he said.

People can download the app from the iTunes App Store by searching for “DealBook” directly from their iPhone or iTouch devices, or from iTunes on their computer.

DealBook® for iPhone features include:

• Full-screen, real-time charts for in-depth analysis.
• Buy-sell quotes, as well as the daily high, daily low, open, close, net change and percent change.
• Order capabilities, including market, stop, limit, OCO and parent & contingent orders.
• Ability to track and modify working orders or open positions.
• A range of 16 different market studies (indicators) for market analysis.
• Real-time news headline ticker and full-length feature stories.

“Traders are pulled in so many different directions and now they will have more time because they can trade efficiently with our new DealBook® app,” said Tilkin.

“We launched the DealBook iPhone application so traders can manage their trading activities whenever and wherever they want to,” he said.

In addition to the iPhone and iPod Touch, GFT offers DealBook Mobile for its customers using other mobile operating systems, including WAP (basic web access protocol), BlackBerry®, Windows® Mobile and several devices specific to Japan.

“GFT’s new iPhone app was inspired by several software projects we have going on all over the world and satisfies a need for large number of our customers.”
