OANDA has announced recently that they have upgraded their browser extension trading platform. In its 2.0 release, the product that was initially available only for Google Chrome has now been made available for leading browsers; Firefox, IE 9 and above, and Safari. In addition they have provided connectivity for demo accounts, which was previously unavailable. OANDA has also provided social sharing abilities with the extension being able to link to Twitter and Facebook accounts.
fxTradeNow was initially launched in October of last year, as part of the broker’s model to offer trading ‘whenever and wherever’. At the time one of the key features of the mini platform was that it would allow customers to trade without shifting between windows. In addition to new features, the trading extension also received a user interface makeover.

Do people really trade over cellphones and browser-widgets? Its probably hard to come by, but i would be interested in some hard numbers. If i had to guess, a lot of development time is wasted on this stuff for little to no volume that come back from these gimmicks.

@Andy – some figures:
Saxo: reported 2012 mobile volumes doubling 2011 levels. In Aug 2012, they mentioned mobile was 8% of broker volumes. I imagine they well above 10% by now.
Gain: In Q2 2012 they reported 20% of customers using mobile and 11% of volumes originating from mobile devices
IG: In Jul 2012 the stated that 21% of transactions were mobile based
Definitely more than just gimmicks
Realize its not your thing, but across retail, mobile is very popular

That sounds like a lot, i would not have guessed. I dont know how they would make an informed decision with just the cell-phone tho.
