FAQ

The LYNX Trading App can be downloaded via the following QR codes.
Alternatively, search for LYNX Trading on Google Play or the App Store.
Can I use the LYNX Trading App instead of LYNX+ or Trader Workstation (TWS)?
Yes. The LYNX Trading App offers many of the same features as LYNX+ and Trader Workstation (TWS), allowing you to place orders, monitor your portfolio, analyse securities, and use a wide range of trading tools from your smartphone or tablet.
Please note that some features and functionality may differ between platforms.
How can I trade options in the LYNX Trading app?
Before trading options in the app, make sure you have permission to trade options.
- From the Home screen, tap Trade (the double-arrow icon in the bottom menu).
- Under Toolbox, tap Option Chain.
- Search for the underlying asset using the company name, symbol or ISIN.
- Select the underlying and tap Option Chain & Strategy Builder.
- Select the option contract(s) or strategy you want to trade.
- Tap Order to open the order ticket.

Can I use the LYNX Trading app for both trading and authentication?
Yes. You can use the LYNX Trading App for both trading and authentication on the same device.
LYNX Trading is used for trading, while LYNX Key provides two-factor authentication for logging in to your platforms. Although both are part of the same app, they function independently.
Can I manage deposits and withdrawals via app?
Deposits and withdrawals can be managed within the Client Portal. From the LYNX Trading App, you can access the Client Portal directly from the menu without needing to log in again. However, for a withdrawal, additional verification will still be required.
Tap the three horizontal lines icon and select Transfer & Pay from the menu. To create a deposit notification, choose Deposit Funds. If you want to withdraw funds from your trading account, tap Withdraw Funds.
The Client Portal will then be accessed through the standard browser of your smartphone.
How can I access the demo account via the app?
Before accessing your paper trading account in the LYNX Trading App, make sure you have requested a paper trading account through the Client Portal. Once your request has been processed, you can log in to your paper trading account in the app.
From the login screen:
- Android: Tap the three dots in the top-right corner and select Log in to Paper Trading.
- iPhone: Use the Paper Trading toggle at the bottom of the login screen.
Your paper trading login credentials are automatically linked to your live account, so you can use the same username and password to log in.
