Progressive Web App for mobile trading

Nadex mobile trading platforms are undergoing a major transition in 2018. As mobile software development moves beyond traditional apps to progressive web apps that are platform-independent, Nadex introduced the public beta of its new web app. It requires no App Store or Play Store download and no installation. Just go to https://join.nadex.com/pwa to access the beta site. New features, like charting, are planned for later this year.

''We're gratified that traders, forex traders in particular, are seeing Nadex as a different and maybe even better way to trade the markets they know and like,'' said Nadex CEO Tim McDermott. ''We're working hard on developing our new web app, which we think will give traders a clean, fast, enjoyable trading experience wherever they are, on any device.''
