Anyone ? Do they have a good Android application for trading ?

Hi, Can someone tell me about their experience with Interactive brokers' Android application for trading ? Thanks.

Just to be clear, I am asking which one is better in terms of trading only. I am not concerned about other features that is not related to trading.

Have you used both Iphone and Android ? In what ways do you think Android is better ? Thanks.

I am wondering which of the two (Android or Iphone) is better for trading in terms of speed, ease of use, and other factors. Thanks.

I am currently using TOS and have never used IB. I would like to know if there are any reasons why TOS is better than IB. Pricewise, considering the costs of commissions and data feed, which one is cheaper ? Thanks very much.

Is it that easy to get your rates reduced with TOS ? When I called them, they told me that you have to have a certain amount of minimum trades to get the rate reduced. What do you mean when you say 'tell them you are a bad ass trader.'

Why do you feel it is the wrong field and also what is wrong with the current time ? I don't think there will ever be a guarantee of a success in trading.

Why do you think it's the wrong part of the decade to be a "career switcher" ? I am assuming that finding a job as a trader is always going to be very difficult regardless of the economy.

Can you send me the link to that thread on Tape reading ? Thanks.

Exactly. How do you protect the screen from your coworkers ? I mean, if someone walks up to your desk and you have a screen with charts, how do you hide it ?

That's great timing. Would your strategy work if you had to trade at the same time you work ? In other words, is the strategy more suitable for day trading or swing trading ? Have you considered trading in a prop firm environment ?

Do you know if they usually only prefer recent graduates for entry-level trading/Market making ? I have an excellent quantitative background, but I have not been called for an interview yet. Considering the fact that they get so many resumes, is there a way to stand yourself apart ? Thanks.
