OANDA Corporation has transformed the business of
foreign exchange through an innovative approach to forex
trading. The company's leading online trading platform, fxTrade,
introduced a number of firsts to the marketplace, including
immediate execution; instant settlement on trades; trades of any
size between one unit and 10 million units; and interest calculated
by the second. OANDA was the first online provider of
comprehensive currency exchange information, and today
the company's OANDA Rate® data are the benchmark rates for
corporations, tax authorities, auditing firms, and central
banks.

app integrates price alert functionality and StockTwits social

iTunes store.
"Most of our customers use
their mobile devices for trading and they expect the
same rich
functionality they get from our online trading
platform," said Tony
Savor, Chief Technology Office at OANDA. "It's a big enough
challenge to bring this from the desktop to the handset, but we
want to add even more value. So we also leverage relationships with
premium providers like StockTwits to bring best-of-breed
functionality to our mobile platform."
