My work seems to be getting in the way of my trading, so I thought I would get a handheld device with internet and run MT4 on it.

Has anybody used the handheld versions of MT4? Any experiences, is one operating system better than another?

Thanks in advance.

I ran it on my pda/cell phone for a while but my battery runs out too quickly.

There are three versions of MetaTrader4 Mobile CE is one of them. Check the website for the other two.

I use MT4 mobile on my Audiovox XV6600. There a limitations of course because the small size and the fact that you cannot view more than one window or currency or timeframe at a time. I use it mainly to monitor trades I've already made at the tradestation when I have to be on the run. I really like the XV6600 since it has more real estate than most of the PDAs/PPCs. However, the XV6600 in my opinion is not convenient as a phone even though you can use it as both a phone and Pocket PC. The XV6600 is harder to find the US and is more popular in other countries under different brand names ( Harrier, iMAte, etc) Good luck.

Use it all the time, great little platform. Easy to use and handy when you travel a lot but have those longer term trades you want to keep track of.

Sorry I am technology impaired!!!!

Ok so it can be done and it looks like the platform is usable.

So.... for all of you USA people, what, how do I get the internet signal to the device???? I'm thinking of using Verizon and a Treo, but, if I understand things right, I am in a non, highspeed broadband area which means transmition speeds would be very slow. I don't know if that would be a problem with the Metatrader mobile platform though.

Thanks for all the help.

My pda is the Sprint audiovox 6601. It uses the Sprint network for internet traffic. I can also hook it direct to my laptop and surf with my laptop if I need it. Just make sure you do not leave the metatrader running all the time as it will drain the battery fairly quickly. You cannot run custom indicators from what I have seen.

Even with the slow connection with Verizon I find it works ok. I have Verizon and Samsung i730 Smartphone and have had no problems at all. Great little platform with the basic indicators.
