Yes, it is a lot nicer using the touchscreen but can be done without it, like moto Q.

Why dont you go to a retailer and use their connection to download mt4mobile and play with it. Thats what I did, I told them I wouldnt buy it if the program wouldnt run and they told me to download whatever I needed.
And which phone did you settle with?

I think i can download the MT4 mobile, we have a store here that lets you try the mobiles however you want (there all tied up to a wall)

Is there a WAP site you can download it from?

I already use it, that's how I know about it.

Haha, you do that.

I don't dig touchscreens, i want to be able to control my phone with one hand, so i'll most likely go for a windows mobile standard (non-touchscreen) phone and tun MT4 Mobile SE.

First choice right now is the HTC S730
Hm, nice. Screen is a tad small, though. Better keyboard than mine - "proper" keys rather than buttons.

I use the HTC TyTN II. I posted a website for comparisons in post #3.

Your broker should have it as a free download, and if they don't then they might not offer mobile trading, but there are a ton of other brokers that DO offer it. Search the major ones and you will find the download, most of them are free (mine was).

Look out for the small print in data tariffs. Check your data usage.

Or you may end up like me, fighting a bill for £700.00 from accidentally leaving my laptop on for 48 hours when I was on an "unlimited tariff" *

*(subject to a fair usage policy - i.e. not unlimited at all) **

**(in fact not a fair usage policy at all, simply a lie to pretend you will have lots of free data) ***

***(When we catch you we will overcharge you like mad for the data you thought you had already paid for, and cut you off, just to prove it was all your fault)****

**** Above pain in the **** provided by O2 UK, yes that's O2. I would love to hear from anybody who has had a good experience with these sharks.

I am now trying out MT4 Mobile SE on a HTC S730

To people who use that (or MT4 Mobile);

1) Is there a way to put in horizontal and vertical lines in the graph? Same lines you can put in MT4 regular. If that's not a feature of the SE version, anyone know if it can be done in the Mobile (touchscreen) version?

2) Normally when entering a trade on MT4 you can see a dotted line at the price the order was entered at. However i don't see that line in the SE version. Is it supposed to be there, or is it not a feauture. Can you see it in MT4 mobile (non-SE)? The same things go with the dotted lines that appear when putting a SL or TP. I can't se it either.

Not the grid lines. I'm talking about the lines you can draw in the chart

Mine shows me the horizontal lines when I put a pending order on but it has no feature to draw your own lines (at least not that I have found). Also, you dont have the option to save any custom indicators which kind of sucks for me since I really like pivots.

I can't even see them when putting in penging orders.

Okay, i need to know this everyone: Can you put in your lines in the touchscreen version of MT4 Mobile? The reason for wanting to do that is to check for example at which level the last swing low was. I usually put the stop losses there. In the SE version however, i can't even zoom in on a particular candle, all i can do is to zoom out til' i see the specific candle and then try to aproximate the level.

How do you come around this?

I now found out that you can put these lines in MT4 Mobile non-SE

http://www.imagehustler.com/0208/1204268427.bmp

However, as I said before, most of the time I trade i need to see the see the price level of the last swing low (you know, wherever a negativ candle have two candles with higher lowermost prices on the sides) when i put my stop loss.

In MT4 i do this by putting a line at that level to see what the price was, but since there is no such function in MT4 Mobile SE, i don't know how else i should solve this.

The software (SE) only allows you to zoom in on the present candle, so you can't really measure any closing prices of previous candles.

So, anyone know how to solve that?

IMO you're asking too much of MT4 mobile. I just use it to monitor positions, adjust stops as needed, and maybe some rudimentary looking at chart just in terms of candle patterns, S/R levels, maybe throw an MA or two up there, etc.

Real analysis still requires the full blown MT4. Mobile is a supplement to it, not a replacement.

I agree with TraderGeek. You can always set up the alerter indicator to alert you by email when certain price points are reached. And I dont know about your version but mine allows you to zoom in and out just like the regular mt4 which would allow you to see the swing lows/highs and you can also change the tf as well. Here is the User manual in case you over looked it

it may provide you with some additional assistance.

Just got a pda yesterday with a touchscreen and mt4 works fine. Verizon 6800 series.

The only drawback to a pda version of mt4 is that you can't bring in your custom indicators. You can only use what came with mt4.

You can't use custom anything with MT4 mobile. MT4 mobile is mostly good for monitoring and closing your open positions...and on occasion...opening a position based on a news event (if that's your style.)
