Will normal MT4 indicator work on mobile plateform and does MT4 for PDA stream data continously or do we need to refresh it to see updates?

I tried the demo from alpari on my audiovox 6100 and my tmobile hp. It worked ok but my battery went dead too easily. I originally thought that the pda phone would be great to look at while I laid in bed during the London session. However, I often woke to find my phone had died.

if you are in bed, can't you just plug it in? my lamp even has 1 electrical socket in it. Could be useful for that kind of thing.

I am using the MT4 Mobile Platform on the Cingular 8125. Love it.

Works great. You can use all the default indicators that MT4 has in it. (ex: fibs, trendlines, ma's, macd, etc.

Hi hasan84, I also have a cingular 8125 that I trade off of on the go. I love it also but as far as custom indicators no, just the regular indicators. I was told by someone at metatrader that there were no plans in the future of ever putting custom indicators on the mobile mt4 platform. I hope this is of some help.....Valerie....

I am also considering getting the mobile edition. Can you have any alerts? Would be nice to have while at work, to let me know to take a peek at the charts.

On that note.... any one know of a broker that does have a mobile station to trade with that also offers micros? I am currently with fxsol, but they do not offer one.

Works pretty well. I have a demo account with no time limit. You can set alerts and standard indicators, but no custom indicators. One thing to be careful of is that when you place a trade, the window automatically comes up with USDCHF regardless of which pair you have on the chart.

It is also cumbersome switching between pairs and difficult moving trendlines(or any other type of line for that matter). But if you put in a trade and want to keep an eye on it while away from your desk (and close it if things go bad), the mobile version is just the ticket.

I just installed MT4 Mobile SE (the smartphone version) from North Finance on my T-Mobile Dash running Windows Mobile 6. I set up a demo account and I've been playing with it for a little while now, and everything seems to be working fine. The chart display/graphics are actually pretty decent. It doesn't offer the full range of indicators, which I expected since it is after all a mobile version of MT4, but there's enough there to work with (i.e. Moving Avg, ADX, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, etc, but no custom indicators, Bollinger Bands, Fib Retracement tool, trendlines). You can set alerts. The execution and speed seem to be pretty solid, but that may be due to the fact that I'm connected via wifi, not Edge. I don't pay for T-Mobile's internet plan, but I might opt for it now so I can trade anywhere without having to lug my laptop around. It's crazy that laptops have become "too big."

I have a live account with InterbankFX, and I was hoping to be able to trade via my Dash--that was one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place--but I talked to a customer service rep earlier and he said that their servers weren't working with the smartphone version of MT4. He said they were "working on it." I asked how long he thought it would take before it was up and running, to which he replied, "I have no timetable for that." I won't hold my breath.

However, the idea of being able to pull my cell phone out of my pocket and trade from it where ever I may be sounds sweet! I might switch to North Finance since they also offer micro lots.
