Good trading,

Just make sure you port forward to connect. There is plenty of info at portforward.com to help with this. Once connected you can easily access desktop remote from phone.

Re: Does Anyone Use a Smartphone to Follow the Markets and the News...

I did not have time when I posted last with a little help on port forward site if anyone is interested I will give a few easy steps to the site here.


Go to

PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model

on the page that opens below will be a list of routers. see attchment

select the router you have from that list.
a new page will open with advertisements. in the upper right corner is a small " skip advertisement ". see attachment.

when that page opens after skipping advertisement a list of programs will open that you want to select the one to port forward.

step by step port forward instructions will open.
Many of you probably know how to do this already with your router. I posted this if it can help those who need it. Also you tube may have port forward instructions for the router you have.
. . .


Install a VNC of your choice on the computer . . . here is popular one

RealVNC - VNC® remote control software

and an app on the phone for VNC.


a nice vnc for droid phone that works very well is

Remote VNC w/Ad - Android app on AppBrain


Thats it. Access your desktop from your phone from anywhere... enjoy !

Re: Does Anyone Use a Smartphone to Follow the Markets and the News...

HTCs are cool phones. What operating system are you going for - Windows 7 or Android? I've got a windows phone, it's nice and powerful but not very many apps are built for windows phones, it's quite disappointing actually. You always seem to get these e-brokers/trading platforms/charting software providers offering Android/Blackberry/i-Phone apps, very rarely would you find windows on the list. So make sure you do your research before you get a smartphone. With news however..wont be much trouble appwise.
