Best Phone for Trading

Hi,

I have searched through old threads about phones for trading. They are a bit dated now so I was wondering if people would give their views and experiences of the best phones to use for trading.

It would also be useful if people might suggest how much data capacity would be required. I am entitled to a new phone and want to make the right decision.
I may also choose a different plan if required. At the moment I have 2GB data per month.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Which broker are you using?

I use etoro, 4xp and I am about to open an option account. 4xp seem to only have an iphone app and etoro have both android and iphone. My 4xp account would be the most important one.
If some had a very good experience of a particular mobile phone platform I would be prepared to open a new account.

Iphone, case closed.

Can I ask why?

It has everything you need, it's just a mini-mini laptop.

i used my htc mobile for some time and it was great,no complaints what so ever.

im presently looking at the new samsung with its large screen size ,just as good if not better than the iphone if only because of the screen size,lets face it they pretty much copied all the best bits and added to it

the other thing to concider is the broker,i have a demo account with alpari which i use for testing indis,last time i asked them about mobile trading they only had software for mobiles operating on windows,which are practically finished now,they were so far behind.not that i would ever concider trading with them,there bloody hopeless.

my live accounts offer all mobile software,but u need to check

I am not a huge user of indicators(I only use cci) so the charts wouldn't have to be very sophisticated. My problem is, I am not too good with technology, especially new tech...guess its my age!
It really does seem like its apple vs samsung vs htc.
I'm still confused!

well jon,

any of the above will do,its really just a preference of style and taste,there really isnot much between them,play safe and get iphone its the no1 seller for a reason

Thanks dice. Leaning that way alright. Just like the idea of the bigger screen with others. You are probably right. Doing my apple options no harm anyway!

dont know about etoro software available,but for android best phone is samsung galaxy note with 5.3 inches screen,and his brother which gonna come out in A MONTH OR so with 5.5 inches screen,so its pure laptop tablet and phone in one place with huge a$$ screen.no iphone will battle that.

I do like the size of the samsung screen. There is the new iphone coming out soon too. That will be interesting. You think that samsung are taking the lead now?

I prefer iPad,great choice for trading

Would love to get an ipad. They are a beautiful machine. But between phone and laptop with vmware installed with double window platform(expensive!) I just can't justify it at the moment.
Have a feeling laptop would start gathering dust and that would break my heart!

I'll vouch for Galaxy Note as well, screen size do matter, actually these 5+ inches screen size will be the norm for mobiles in coming days, once u use one, just simply cannot go back to 3.5 inch screens (iphone, htc) etc.

That Galaxy Note is fairly pricey with my phone provider. Would I be right in saying a large part of this cost is for the hand writing technology? I don't have much use for this(that I can think of).
I agree with what you are saying about the size of the screen. Only problem then is, how awkward will it be to carry.
Prize for the first company to announce a 'foldable' screen. That would really push the boundaries!

I use my Htc Hd2 sometimes. Pretty good screen size.

depends what you work and how self conscious you are,as business people tend to carry phones in their jackets pocket and id doesn't add to the problem,myself i work in warehouse and often bump of hard surfaces,or brush trough corners,so only way id be getting such phone is with insurance as screen will be damaged eventually of that size ,otherwise its more like tablet and if you like browsing web and have better job then i do then only thing what could bother you is the looks from people when you answer your phone something like having an 10 inch penis otherwise nokia seems to be picking back up again with nokia lumia 920 seems decent phone and sturdy enough to handle a bit of hit and drop and screen is decent with windows os aswell.So theres plenty to choose just find what will suit you.

I would not be making any decision before Wednesday Sept. 12........................

I am waiting on Iphone 5 myself. I use the iphone 3 right now with Oanda, Mt4 (just put your Login and password and you can have multiple accounts on 1 App ) and Think or Swim and have not had an issue with any of them. You might also want to check because I am almost positive Alpari has an app that will work with Iphone
