"Apple itself claims to have removed at least 10% application in the App Store for allegedly stealing user data."

->Is this possible, apple apps downloaded may be monitoring sliently on the background like key loggers for trading platform passwords?

Anyone here check MT4 platform on VPS through their iphones? Any websites to download free VPS iphone apps?
Any antivirus/firewall for apple iphone/OS?

They can't run as background keyloggers, because multitasking isn't provided by the operating system - it simply won't allow an app program to run in the background.

But if the app itself is malware - then maybe.

Although, have you ever really trusted MT4?
