Mobile Trading

[sportmatt37]

Hello I was wondering what all your opinions are on the best way to trade away from the computer. I am looking to get a new blackberry, but I was wondering if any of you guys knew of any mobile devices that will hold software to trade. I have power etrade, and not sure if I can get their software on a mobile device. Thanks for the help

I suggest you contact power etrade. :eek:

Mobile Trader from interactive brokers works very well.

Meant to mention; avoid the blackberry for trading... get a pocket pc phone like the Samsung SCH-i730 from verizon. 400kbps downstream if your area supports bb access.

The blackberry doesn't have the cpu power to support trading apps. It's a fantastic wireless email product, but you'll find it very difficult to trade from the device.

IB's mobile trader works flawlessly on the samsung pda. Check IB's website for breadth of product offered. IB's far superior to etrade in every category.

It has an intel processor now...not sure if it is different but I will definitly look into the pocket pc's. Any opinion on the palm smartfones?
