Research
The research functions of MobileWeb are certainly its strongest feature. Half of the homepage menu icons point to different kinds of market research pages that quickly provide a birds-eye view of many different market components.
With Qtrade’s mobile website it is possible to research markets by sector of company for the major US indices as well as for the TSX and it is also possible to see changes across different time frames. This is a particularly nice feature as it lets users quickly spot and track sector performance using tables and graphs from a mobile device.
Another great feature that they’ve integrated from the full website into the mobile format is the commodity quote update. While the quotes themselves are restricted to end of day data, for longer term investors it is a handy way to stay on top of a lot of commodity information.
