A Trading-Guide App to Meet the Growing Demands of Tech-Savvy Investors
Trading Assistant is a FinTech application that offers the latest trading updates, business data, and market news. It is an all-in-one platform bringing you global trading resources with relevant news updates, events, tricks & tips, and offers. The app provides users real-time market data with 100% accuracy to enable effective trading strategies.
Trading Assistant simplifies complex trading tasks with a user-centric interface, multi-themed designs, and a set of personalized functionalities.
Creating an Infrastructure Around an Outdated Legacy System
The clients were trading industry giants who approached us with the goal to help their traders with an insightful app. Their development requirements majorly focused on MT4 and MT5 trading. Our team took some time to gather an understanding of the MT4/MT5 trading space at the beginning of this project.
One of the major challenges that we faced was that the entire client infrastructure was based on an old legacy system, making it difficult to write APIs for the system. Moreover, the client’s development team was not adept in how mobile apps function, so we had to take on the role of both developers and mentors.
Validating the Feasibility of an Informative Trading Platform with Tested Solutions
Our goal was to create a mobile app with a clear and easy-to-navigate interface for traders. We collaborated with the backend team of the client and chose PHP for backend development.
The entire app development project was executed under the Contract Model, where we integrated Agile methodology with the development project by using Jira. Our developers had sprints for every app feature and design requirement.

Our Approach to Building the Best FinTech Product
The integration of MT4 and MT5 trading with Android and iOS was the first part of the development process that we covered. Following this, our entire focus was on an efficient trader experience.
Android App Development
- During the Android development of the Trading App, we regularly collaborated with the client’s team and compiled the codes, existing data, new data, and resource files to create the right app for traders.
iOS App Development
- From struggling to write APIs for an outdated legacy system to creating a user-centric iOS app for the trading industry, our team delivered an impeccable iOS application on time.
App Design
- We achieved our goals with UI/UX design by reducing user efforts, providing easy navigation, quick load times, and easy on the eye color schemes.
“his project was a technically challenging one we handled from start to finish with great care. We were involved in developing an Android, iOS mobile app that was versatile and functional. Our team at Ailoitte learned a lot while working on this project and each challenge was dealt with. We never missed deadlines, adjusted our needs, and stayed right on schedule by providing top-quality design and app development”
