The forex market is a 24hour system that only takes a break on the weekend. As any experienced traders knows, great trading opportunities can occur at anytime throughout the day, and many when you are not at your trading desk.

Traders have long sought solutions that can allow them to trade, or at least see what is happening, from a mobile device so they don’t have to be slaves to their trading computers. Here is a list of the top Android forex mobile trading apps.
