Looking for user feedback for best mobile trading apps and mobile phones for them.


I have not read anything negative for Options Express mobile so far.

Has anyone tried out trading apps for the Driod?

I have an iphone and the trading apps I like for it are:

Bloomberg

iTWS from interactive brokers

The basic iphone Stocks app is very good.

Forex OTG (on the go) very good charts

oanda via Safari mobile user interface is good enough for an emergency trade...

As apps become available for the Droid I will move to Android because Andriod OS is more open, can execute apps in the background, and can attach an external keyboard.

If I were getting a new phone it would be a Droid.

Good luck.

Is Google unveiling an 'iPhone killer?'

Is Google unveiling an 'iPhone killer?' - CNN.com

Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET, Google will make some kind of announcement related to its Android smartphone operating system.

It's expected to be the launch of Google's Nexus One phone -- the company's first full-on leap into the smartphone fray and one that will put the online giant head-to-head with the darling of the market, the iPhone.

I just got the iphone and was happy to find good forex apps.

citifx has a good quote board that is the quickest and easiest way to keep an eye on currency pairs. Click on the currency pair on it gives you a decent chart showing 1 day, 1 week, 1 month or 1 year.

GFT and fxcm both have apps that you can use to trade with.

fxcm's app is decent. It allows you to view quotes but only 1 pair at a time. Charts appear to be only tick and 5 minutes charts. You can buy, sell, set entry and OCO orders. View your balance, positions and news. There's even a button to call them to place an order.
If you're trading a micro account there is a $0.10 per lot charge but that's only a pip so it shouldn't stop you from using it.

hi,
i would like to get a smartphone and from reviews i like the motorola droid/milstone more than the iphone (better resolution, keyboard), but it seems that the iphone has much better software support for trading. as ib customer i could use itws for iphone wich seems to be much better (charting etc) than the normal ib mobiletrader.

are there any experiences?
