What is the best phone for trading?

[Mr J]

Quote from inomad:

I have a Samsung Galaxy, Android O/S, 4 " screen and trade through IB and Oanda.
I found it difficult to trade through IB , I use it only in emergency cases....
Oanda is a lot more friendly on mobile.

I use these two as well. Oanda is far better as a mobile platform. It's as simple as possible, which is perfect for a phone. I bet I can log on, place a trade, and log off on Oanda before I am able to enter my security codes into TWS.

sn't that always the case when it comes to phones and trading ? Like topic opener said, a phone is far from the ideal platform for trading anyway ... My trading setup at the office has 8 monitors, but I'd consider the bare minimum for any serious trader to be two 21" monitors

A phone is the ideal setup for someone who doesn't need to stare at a screen all day, and likes to get out and about.

My bigger account is with IB and I'd like a better software from them but probably Android is not their priority.

They went in the wrong direction anyway as far as I'm concerned. I'm far from impressed. It could be worse; unlike esignal, at least IB managed a dedicated Android release.

Some of us do not sit by dozens of monitors all day...some of us actually are doing other things, but would like to monitor the market and make trades when we get the chance....

Yeah right...

"Just flip the damn burgers and stop playing with the phone!"
