In short

The InnoMP APP is InnoMP's iOS and Android trading app, covering 100+ instruments across forex, metals, energies, indices and stocks. It is organised around four areas — Markets, Watchlist, Positions and Market Watcher — and handles account administration too: Standard, ECN, Copy Trade and Cent accounts can be opened and switched inside the app. A demo runs on live prices with $100,000 in virtual capital, and live funding starts from a $20 minimum deposit.

The InnoMP APP is where most clients first meet the platform, and the first session sets habits that last. This guide covers the fifteen minutes that matter: getting in, choosing the right account type, and setting up the two features that do the most work — the watchlist and Market Watcher alerts.

Installing and signing in

Download the app from your device’s official store — search for InnoMP and check the publisher name before installing. Sign in with your existing account credentials, or register from inside the app; on registration the system automatically creates a default ECN real account, and KYC verification is shown during onboarding.

The three screens between the store and a trading account Three boxes stacked top to bottom, labelled install, sign in and choose account, joined by downward arrows. The last box notes that an ECN account is created by default and a Cent account can be selected instead. 1 · installApp Store · Google Play2 · sign inemail · one-time code3 · choose accountECN — created by defaultCent — 1 USD = 100 CENT InnoMP Research
Install, sign in, pick the account. The ECN account is created by default; Cent is the option for trading in cents rather than dollars.

If you are not ready to fund an account, start with the demo: $100,000 in virtual capital on live prices, and everything in this guide works identically there. How to use an InnoMP demo account properly covers what to practise on it and what it cannot teach. Funding, when you are ready, starts from a $20 minimum deposit.

The app also handles account administration: you can open additional accounts — Standard, ECN, Copy Trade or Cent — switch between them, and manage deposits and withdrawals without leaving the app. Which type suits which trader is covered in the platform comparison.

Finding your way around

The app is organised around four areas:

  • Markets — 100+ instruments across forex, metals, energies, indices and stocks, searchable by asset class
  • Watchlist — your own shortlist, which is where you should actually live
  • Positions — open trades, pending orders, and the account summary
  • Market Watcher — price and indicator alert centre

The single most useful habit is treating the watchlist, not the full market list, as home. Scrolling hundreds of instruments produces impulse trades; a curated list of six to ten produces decisions you planned.

Building a watchlist that works

Add the instruments you genuinely follow — for most traders that is two or three currency pairs, gold, one index, and perhaps a share CFD you know well. For each, the quote line shows bid, ask and the day’s change, and tapping through opens the chart.

A watchlist trimmed to the instruments that get traded A phone-shaped panel listing five instruments. Three rows carry a green mark and are labelled kept; two carry a red mark and are labelled removed. A note beneath says fewer than ten. watchlistEURUSDXAUUSDUS500GBPJPYAUDCADkept 3 · removed 2fewer than ten, all of them traded this month InnoMP Research
Everything on the list competes for attention. Keep what you actually trade; the rest is noise dressed as coverage.

Key takeaway A short watchlist is a risk-management tool disguised as a convenience. Every instrument you do not follow closely is an instrument you would be trading on half-read information.

Charts on a small screen

Phone charts are for monitoring, not deep analysis. Rotate to landscape for a fuller view, and keep the indicator count low — two is plenty on a phone. The chart supports the standard drawing tools; levels you drew on WebTrader carry across, which is the better division of labour: analyse on the big screen, monitor on the small one.

One timeframe per screen, chosen before the chart is opened A phone-shaped panel with a price line, and a row of timeframe buttons beneath it: 1H, 4H and D. The 4H button is highlighted. A note says one timeframe at a time. 1H4HD8 timeframes available · one at a time on a phone InnoMP Research
A phone shows one timeframe well and two badly. Decide the timeframe first, then open the chart — not the other way round.

Market Watcher: the feature that replaces screen-watching

From any instrument, set an alert at a level where you would actually do something — the boundary of a range, the level where a trade idea becomes valid or invalid. Market Watcher goes beyond price levels: it can fire on moving-average crossovers, Bollinger band breaks, MACD and KDJ crosses and RSI thresholds, and conditions combine with AND/OR logic.

A Market Watcher alert built from a level and a condition A condition builder in three rows. Row one reads price crosses 1.0850. Row two reads AND RSI below 30. Row three shows an arrow to a bell labelled alert on phone. A note explains that the alert fires without the chart being open. price crosses 1.0850ANDRSI below 30alert on the phonechart can be closedsix trigger types · combined with AND / OR InnoMP Research
Set the level and the condition once. The phone tells you when the market gets there — the chart does not have to be open.

Set price alerts slightly beyond round numbers rather than exactly on them, and review the list weekly. A detailed walkthrough is in Setting Market Watcher alerts.

Before your first live trade

Three checks, in order:

Four things to have in place before the first live order A checklist of four rows, each with a check mark: demo trades logged, risk per trade set, stop placed on every order, margin level understood. A note says the platform is the easy part. before the first live orderdemo trades logged and reviewedrisk per trade fixed as a % of balancea stop on every order, before entrymargin level: 30% weekdays, 100% weekendthe app can be learned in an evening — these cannot InnoMP Research
The platform is the easy part. These four are what a first live trade actually depends on.
  1. Confirm the account mode. Demo and live look deliberately similar; the badge on the account summary tells you which is active.
  2. Size the position from your risk, not from the margin available. The order ticket shows required margin — that is a constraint, not a suggestion. Our guide to position sizing is the longer version.
  3. Attach the stop at order entry, not after. The ticket supports stop and limit attached to the opening order; a stop added “in a minute” is frequently a stop added after the move.

The app puts execution in your pocket. Whether that is an advantage depends entirely on whether the decisions were made before the phone came out.
