Hello
Sorry if this has been touched on before, but does anyone know of a mobile phone which operates windows in such a way as to be able to install full mt4, not just the mobile app?
Cheers
Where price is now, it has been before, and will be again.
I'll look into those. Remote access sounds interesting.
I bought the tiniest laptop I could find and at the moment ,I take that with me and if I see an interesting move on my phone ,I tether to see if it's viable using my tools.
Not perfect, so need to find something else.
Wouldn't you think there is a fortune to be made by someone with the right mobile app programming skills?

I agree, but I've gone from simple charts, to charts with a myriad of indicators....all for not, just to return to charts with just a couple of indicators. And because of that I can use the current set of mobile trading apps. Since I have accounts on FXCM and Oanda, I use their apps which aren't too bad. But, I also use Trade Interceptor which gives me a TDI indicator (a key indicator for me), which the others do not.
Are you guys interested in VPS and logging into them from your phone? If you set it up right, then you access the usual platform you always use, just with your phone.

Theoretically mobile trading is a growing market. The problem with all of these markets is the question "how do I get into it?". Brokers don't have a common API you can hook into and as a consequence every new trading application shares the same problem: a very limited number of supported brokers.
Honestly, I wouldn't waste my time developing for anyone but me. It'll probably move towards HTML5 anyway ...
I actually developed my own "trading keyboard". I use a big touchscreen that runs a Java application which shows a set of buttons to place and control my trades without having to move the mouse over all the screens. The connector is portable but there would still be plenty of work to do in case I'd like to support another broker. Even if all of them would support the common FIX API you'd still have to make some adaptations and run through compliance tests. Retail doesn't even offer FIX, it's all proprietary metaquotes crap. In the end retail brokers are very likely to develop their own solution, it would be their chance to lock customers in.
I would probably go with a Surface pro, preferably with a USB 4G stick or so to get rid of that tethering hassle.
