Experience trading from a windows tablet?

Who's your broker may I ask? MT4's android app is bad for trading.

Has anyone here tried CQG M? You get it for free with any other CQG software.

For mobile trading I have TradeStation, IB, TOS, and Fidelity. They all work well on my Android tablets and phone. Listed in order in which ones I like best. Fidelity is rather crude - just bare bones minimal.

Yes, I've tried it. I'm not one for mobile execution but to check positions is decent.

I trade off ipad / Andriod tablet, without an issue have done for years no issues.

I've sold many a Windows Tablet to clients the £99 tescos Connect model get the 2gb ram versions are pretty good, Surfaces in use only slightly better.

Not a lot of Windows software is touch friendly, could you not use a cheap android tablet.


My 7inch Samsung Tab A 2016 does the job well, very portable and cheap if dropped to replace.

Ipad Air 4g is better but costly and too big to carry around really.

Thx. To me it would be good for monitoring P/L and to be able to cancel orders. I would never "trade" from a mobile app or tablet.

I have literally placed 1000s of trade off ipad and various android tablets and phones, not an issue once so far.

I may have charts on a pc screen for when I'm home, but if i see a trade i pickup a tablet to place it, if I have to go to the loo or the door knocks, not an issue tablet goes with me.

I did not suggest it would be a problem. For me, I'm an option trader and when I do enter trades, they are often options spreads and the process is much easier to evaluate on a stand alone platfrom where I can see more.

When I'm in between picking people up and dropping them off in my taxi, it works great. I Velcro (3) to my dashboard, they work great. I can pay attention to the Crack Spreads and equity positions while in my cab no problem. They work great.

The police have not given me a hard time either, but I'm paying Verizon alot in Wireless data.

What is your budget ?

If it's $300 then check out the
Asus T100HA

Mine will run TOS off battery for 8-9 hours

If $400 , then check out the

Dell Inspiron 2 in 1 11.6"

Hello @faatshit. Modern front ends for trading require very little from your local PC / tablet as the heavy lifting is done on co-located servers. I encourage you to try the TT platform. You need little more than a browser and any internet capable device including phones.

Hi guys!

As per the title.
How is it like trading from a windows tablet and any drawbacks doing so?

I plan to get a basic windows tablet to trade from so I can do so on the go with my full time job.
Internet wise I will probably be tethering most of the time/Wifi from perhaps starbucks or something.
Since I want it to be portable for convenience sake(otherwise I will use a laptop), I'm looking for a windows tablet at 10'. Lenovo Miix 310.

Anyone who has experience/concerns please do chip in and let me know what you guys think! (Mobile apps i.e. android/apple MT4 are out of the questions as they as impossible to analyse apart from monitoring existing positions)

PS: I hope you guys will stick to the topic and not derail i.e. like trading part time will be useless/unfruitful etc.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!
