Initially providing users the ability to trade with multiple brokers from one interface, the Trading Interceptor mobile app has evolved to include technical analysis, news, alerts and trade from chart capability. During this time, Trade Interceptor’s business model was based on partnering with brokers to allow customers to trade their accounts using the mobile app interface.
Taking trading directly to their user base, Trade Interceptor has announced the launch of brokerage services, aiming to become the industry’s first ‘Mobile Broker’. The move from solely a technology provider to broker, is part of a recent trade which has also seen Ninjatrader and Tradeo become brokers. In launching their mobile brokerage, Trade Interceptor partnered with UK licensed IKON Finance for onboarding of customers under a regulated entity. The deal is similar to that of Tradeo which partnered with YouTradeFX to become a social broker, as well as Ninjatrader which acquired Mirus Futures as they announced their intentions to offer brokerage services.
