How many of you trade on an iPhone?

I work at an Office it's not easy to use a desktop pc to trade and work at the same time.

I wasn't so much fond of mobile phone before I got an iphone 4 and trade on it with Oanda. With Multitouch it's so quick to take and close orders. In fact even when back home I prefer to use the iPhone and just watch the chart on the desktop but not use it for orders.

How many of you have an iPhone or think about buying one to trade ?

Update: in my european country 30% of people (not especially traders) have an iPhone that's quite a lot, would realy like to know how many are traders.

i just dont like to trade using small screen...sorry it just me..but i might use it to see current market..

Try one of the remote desktop applications mate, the free one is TeamViewer, and there are other paid ones too like LogMeIn. I installed both of them on my iphone, just in case one stuffs up you have a backup.

Thanks for suggestion will try TeamViewer.

Well there are also charts on the iPhone but no indicators so I still look at chart on Desktop from time to time and then I would prepare to take the order on my iPhone this is more discrete when the Boss is around

This. I'm looking at ultraportables (laptops) instead as I want to retain proper functionality. They're pretty light, and in a very slim bag they're no more inconvenient than a slim handbag (which half the population manages!).

I trade on my Blackberry pretty often. Took a little time to get use to but after using it for years, I see it the same as using my desktop trading platform. Live streaming charts with indicators (that I don't use) with all the timeframes available on the desktop version.

I've gotten so use to live streaming mobile data/charts, I find it hard to use the WAP version of DealBook. My broker offers an iPhone app, Blackberry app, Windows app, and WAP version of their trading platform. I've tried every one of them with WAP being my least favorite.

MT4 mobile on winmo 6.5, HTC HD2... rocks!

Can I install ninjatrader on iphone? don't think so.

Anyway, it could be useful to watch current prices or even send a close order in case of fatal failure of computer or emergency cases.

It's like those kids watching movies on mobile. Is me the only one who enjoy watching action movies in a +50" screen? :-)

Iphone and Fx Trading on mt4? Wht a Joke !
Get a moderate to high end HTC PDA with WM and install Mt4 Mobile. Thats as close as you can get to desktop trading !

I had WM and the OS sucks, for me personally. Never got used it. But I got iPhone cuz I needed upgrade and love watching charts on it.

Ps. I'm not one of those apple freaks. Who tries to convince people to switch.

Whosoever says Wm Sucks, sucks with OS knowledge and tweaking.
No OS is liked by everyone by default.
Customize a WM ROM for yourself and see the flexibility it gives regarding speed and functionality. Goto XDA-developers ! Other OS, no way come close to it!
Iphone charts .. lol..!
Trade with Mt4 Mobile or remote a VPS onto a high end Wmobo !
Some people just cant deal with gadgets and blame on OS till they get some simple toy...and i am not pointing to you !

EDIT: READING the posts around on FF and the fact that i didnt stress it , MOST people have one or other petty issues with PDA's bcoz they dont know how to customize them to their requirements (if allowed).
They just need a simple toy to play with. This is supported by the fact that many noobs make a new end pc smother to death with addons, malware, spyware and what not !
And for those who can juice the power of machines, can trade with pentiums too in this age!
Just FYI i was trading on my pentium III 800Mhz of 1998 till early this year and i have traded stocks, options and fx & many more important works seamlessly on it for so many years and its still on my other desk, working quick & clean with normal less-processor-intensive usage!

Got an iPhone abut 6 months ago.... very first Apple product.... been fighting it for years.

My main live account is on GFT and they have a nice app to trade on the iPhone. Been working well.

Alos have a couple MT4 live accounts (small) and will be moving them to FXCM MT4 put of UK.... 2 reasons... first is, it ain't the USA
Next.. Forex-on-the-Go as an MT4 app for the iPhone which I have tried and it is not bad. Run the EAs on home PC and monitor the trades on the iPhone....

Works well for me.

One more thing... I tried 2 Windows mobile HTC devices... both worked great until the HTC device crapped out.... I have now given up on HTC.

Forexsaint, if u like WM I have nothing against it. Great for you. I just didn't like it personally. By iPhone charts I ment that I can watch and trade from oanda

I'm curious, where do you live? I can't believe 30% of the people have an iPhone. For example, 30% of all smartphone users sounds like a more realistic statistic

I do believe that execution on an iPhone can be made very convenient, but probably because of the lack of versatility (one example: as far as I know you can't load custom indicators on mobile platforms) people still prefer to watch the charts on their PC.

I'm using one of these:



And it's beyond awesome. Well, apart from battery life, but that's only a minor inconvenience for me.
