TD Ameritrade (AMTD) announced that it has re-vamped its line of mobile trading applications. The move is meant to tap into the already successful mobile trading applications developed by subsidiary thinkorswim and the few developed for TD Ameritrade and consolidate them under the brand "TD Ameritrade Mobile." The applications offer advanced charting, technical analysis, and trading for stocks, ETFs, futures, forex and complex options trades.According to the company, "TD Ameritrade is the only online brokerage with five homemade mobile platforms, including a simple Web browser and four proprietary operating system platforms." The platforms refer to the operating platforms of Android, Blackberry, iPhone and Windows Mobile. But the statement is a bit premature, we think, given their website claims the iPad and Android apps are "coming soon." The firm also offers a web-based trading platform that serves up mobile-friendly screens to any phone capable of accessing the internet.
