Yes, you can use the same Pepperstone account across both the web-based Pepperstone platform and mobile app. They are synchronised, meaning trades initiated on the mobile platform will automatically appear on the web, and vice versa. You can trade on the go with the mobile app and conduct detailed analysis on the desktop web-based platform.

You can place a trade either by using the standard multi-step approach or one-click trading. Note that one-click trading places the trade instantly at the current market price.

Standard multi-step approach: 

1. Display the instrument you want to buy or sell. 

You can select the instrument from the markets page, the watchlist you have created or a public one. 

2. Tap on the sell or buy button at the bottom of the screen, depending on your trading strategy.  

3. Specify your trade parameters such as order type, lot size, stop-loss or take-profit levels. 

4. Tap the buy button to execute the trade.
