'Trade Interceptor' is the best iPhone app for me.

It's a multi-broker forex platform, nice and simple layout, great charting software with a wide variety of customizable indicator list and includes the economic calender of news releases.

This app is only for monitoring of charts and quotes and can't place orders on it. It provides feeds from FXCM, SWFX, FXSOL, MBT and RIFLEXO.

Yes, you can draw trendlines and also vary the settings of indicators.

I've tried all the Forex for iPhone apps there are. Even paid for Forex on the Go. Then ran across Trade Interceptor (which is free) and I'm hooked.

Best app out there...no doubt, whatsoever.

I wrote support at Trade Interceptor about how great it would be if they had server-side price alerts since I'm paying Newsimpact.com for the service, which I think is invaluable for my trading and since there is no iPhone app that does this..

This is the response I got:
"Be careful what you wish for Christmas !
What I mean is that price alerts and actually server-side alerts are coming. The will be (most probably) part of the next update of the platform that will be a major change for TradeInterceptor- it will have most of all trading interface with capabilities for demo and live trading; more settings; help files and video tutorials etc.
So very soon you won't need to pay for server-side alarms anymore. With us there will be a complete integrity between alarms on desktop platform and the mobile platform as they are actually server based but most important they will be editable through both types of platforms."

Best of all this app is free!!!!!

Yeah, they have the app on many mobiles- iPhone/Android/WinMob/BlackB
In your case go and find it in your Marketplace. Here is a link to have a glimpse at it http://www.androidpit.com/en/android...r-Forex-Mobile

I have a friend with Android and TradeInterceptor looks superb on the HTC display

I am beta testing their iPhone/iPad app for about few months yet. Yes they have it for iPad too(not released yet), a universal app and words are not enough to explain.
Most important is that that trading interface is amazing. As I have an iPhone 3G the poor device is already old and a bit slow while running TI(TradeInterceptor) with its fast refresh rate of quotes but on the iPad it flies and I am already a lot faster putting trades (and modifying S/L for example) on it than on my computer ))

To be honest other FX apps for iPad for example look like crap in comparison to TI.

LocoGuy,

In my opinion, ACT Trader IPad app is the best ever.

Search apple store.

GFT I always favored GFT iPhone app. Though I don't own an iPhone (I'm a Blackberry man at the moment but thinking about moving over the Android) but I was able to give it a proper test drive using a friends iPhone. Its a pretty nice app that has live streaming quotes, streaming news, and indicators. Works well with a 3G connection. http://www.gftforex.com/Software/Dea...e/Default.aspx

Oanda iPhone A friend of mine also swears that Oanda's iPhone app is pretty good. http://fxtrade.oanda.com/trade-forex/mobile/iphone

Oanda iPad The same friend also uses his iPad exclusively to trade currencies and stocks. He's given up on traditional computers and has opted to use iPad only for trading a light web surfing. I got a chance to watch him in action, trading on his iPad and it works nicely. http://fxtrade.oanda.com/trade-forex/mobile/ipad

MT5 iPhone/iPad Also, if you're an MT5 fan you could look into using MT5 for iPhone/iPad. Theres a huge positive buzz about MT5 for iPhone/iPad. Though it not officially out, I here there are traders who are beta testing this app on their live accounts. I don't know how one would go about getting their hands on a copy of their app but if never hurts to contact Metaquotes and ask. http://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile

As I said other apps can't even come close to TradeInterceptor not to mention it's iPad version. Whoever has the iPhone version can have a slight idea how TI for iPad will look like and what is capable of. I am not sure I am allowed to post here screenshots of my test version before it's official release.
These guys are wizards.
Check this link http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/trade...329476057?mt=8

What defines a good app OMHO:
Bug-free or almost bug free
Intuitive and easy to use UI
Unique advantage over the rest of the apps
Superior charts
Technical anlysis indicators and tools
As many time frames available for charts as possible

I already mentioned that I can trade on my TradeInterceptor beta iPad faster than on a computer. iPad is really capable of making computer trading stations obsolete.
Something else- have you ever made a Fibo retracement for a couple of seconds with your finger on your mobile chart? If you are not a TradeInterceptor user I know that the answer is NO.

Maybe 99% of the FX apps which have decent charts have their charts in a funny HTML format. This is crap. TI charts are as vivid as on the computer trading platforms.

Jhig, do you happen to know if MT4 works on Ipad? It's starting to appeal very much to me and I like to do all my charting with MT4.

Thanks.

Metaquotes has developed an iPhone/iPad apps for MT4 but it seems only a few select brokers carry the app. I know of a trader who uses GoMarkets MT4 iPhone app but they are the only broker I personally know of that carries the MT4 apps.

Do you understand what you are asking for.
These are not desktop platforms where you can install some kind of package of custom indicator like in Ninja or other platforms.

These custom indicators need to be build by the devs making the app.

BTW, here is already my favourite iPad/iPhone FX app which is by far the best by any means especially for technical traders ,not just a crap app with an exposure to AppStore.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/trade...329476057?mt=8

Ask the guys making this app and they will reply you very quickly what could be done. They are really very responsive.
