Forex Signals

Mobile app for a trading signals service

Product design and UI

Five numbers per card, on a phone, readable in a second.

2018.

What this was

An app for a service that distributes forex trading signals. The core screen is a feed of signals, and every signal is one card: currency pair, direction, entry point, take profit, stop loss.

The challenge was density. Five numbers per card, on a phone screen, where the person looking has to understand the status in a second. The answer was a color tag on the side of each card saying exactly that: live signal, hit target, closed successfully. The movement graph stays deliberately pale in the background, so the numbers remain the first thing you read.

Everything else stayed minimal. Sign up in two fields or through Facebook, and a full screen menu with three items. In an app whose entire value is the data in the feed, there is no reason for navigation to take attention.

The original prototype

The prototype is still hosted on Adobe XD. The screens above are stored here on the site, so this page keeps working the day Adobe shuts that service down.
