Full version of a platform on android

I am using an Android tablet, and it is so frustrating that all platforms for android are actually mobile version. For example, MT4, MT5, cTrader, etc are available for android but all of them have basic version for mobile.

I use the Android tablet in lieu of laptop or computer, and I expect to do all technical analysis (such as custom indicators) or to modify the default setting to meet my needs, but mobile (android) versions have minimum options.

I wonder that traders are not using Android tablets?

Its really quite simple. MT4 is a Windows dependent system and porting it to another platform is difficult. MetaQuotes did the best they could with their Android port. But they could not overcome some Android limitations, with custom indicators being the most obvious one. Android systems require using Play Store to install apps and that means only certified developers can write code for it. There are good reasons for this - security being foremost.

When Windows goes completely to the App Store approach, custom indicators will no longer exist.

The best approach for someone like you who wants to use a tablet is to buy a Windows 8 machine like the Surface Pro. There are other choices available.

You can connect remotely to your PC to see your MT4 with all its custom tools.

If custom indicators are not the priority try trade interceptor. It has a wide selection of indicators and tools compared to most android trading apps.

Teamviewer

I use this tool and it is free for personal use

but the result is not a fast performance, as each action should be transferred across the net.

I use MT4 for android on my MIUI 3 to track the market while I an away from my trade station. However there is a particular custom indicator that I use to alert me to potential trade setups.

Do any of you know if it is possible to install custom indicators into the mobile version of MT4? Or is there a way to "port" the indicator to run on the mobile platform?

Thanks in advance

try it, its surprisingly smooth and responsive

I think the best option is to get a VPS and try to remotely connect to your work station...This way you'll be able to monitor your desktop if you're outside.

ZanzibarFX pls how do you use VPS to place a trade and monitor the movement of the indicator if you are outside your desktop???

I have also been looking for a similar app. Trade interceptor came very close to having must of the custom indicators i desired such as Pivots. However, I recommend using the team viewer app ( a very easy to use remote desktop control app). You can google the app and download it

Bros abeg u for PM how to download and use this app???
