Best Phone For Trading ?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have searched through old threads about phones for trading. They are a bit dated now so I was wondering if people would give their views and experiences of the best phones to use for trading.

 

It would also be useful if people might suggest how much data capacity would be required. I am entitled to a new phone and want to make the right decision.

I may also choose a different plan if required. At the moment I have 2GB data per month.

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have 4 22 and 23 inch monitors that I use for trading. I wish you well with a 3.5 inch screen.

Any trading over wifi or any wireless data connection - phone, tablet, laptop or otherwise - is not a great idea imho. Too unreliable. Maybe one day though.

 

I certainly can understand someone being a bit concerned about trading in this manner. Certainly nothing is foolproof, all I can offer is my own experience. I have been using a very fast Verizon portable broadband modem for almost 2 years now, and am able to trade in various mountain ranges and even wilderness areas. I spend some time finding the best spots where my connection is strong and stable, and also use a very small and light antenna made for the job that plugs into the modem. During all this time I have never had a trading disaster of any kind. I am using a 15.6 inch laptop with an 8 hour battery and a solar panel. So I am able to work from a wide variety of locations. I am sending this via my wireless connection right now.

Most large brokers offer trading via an app, usually on iPhone - but you're limited by the 3.5" screen. I use my iPhone with iTeleport to remote desktop to my PC at home running Multicharts.

 

I can trade from it, but naturally much easier to just monitor trades.

 

I'm planning on moving to a Samsung Galaxy Note II which is a 5.5" screen monster phone, mainly for browsing but if you do plan to trade from the phone as a primary device, the bigger the screen the better - so right now the top selling choice is the Samsung Galaxy SIII with a 4.8" screen.

That sounds pretty interesting Qiman! Maybe you should start a thread with pictures of where you're trading from each day or week :)

I have cable internet and used to have the modem/router in my office directly connected to my computer. However, a while back I wanted to put a TV in my office so I moved the modem/router to the room next door and just connect wirelessly. I haven't noticed any difference. Works fine.

 

I'd guess there's probably a way to have the TV and modem both in my office but I haven't bothered to try to find out because it works fine the way it is now. :2c:

That sounds like too much work, right when I am further simplifying my life!

 

I could certainly send you a PM with a recent photo from a few weeks ago when I was at 9,000 ft in the cool high country of New Mexico. Each afternoon I would take off hiking in country full of elk and turkey, One of my best trips ever. By contrast, today I am in the city of El Paso, just miles from Juarez, the murder capital of the world

Yea Glass Onion I have searched a lot of info on a lot of phones and phone plans. You might get different results depending on the area you live. But the best phone for trading in my area is a 20 dollar GO phone. Its a NOKIA that at the time came right in the GO phone box. Im not sure if you can still buy the phone with the card. You might need to buy the phone and the card separately. I think its 20 bucks every 90 days. Its pretty cheep compared to all the other plans I looked at.

 

I use this phone EVERY DAY for trading so I know its reliable. I have only had to use it a few times over the years so its paid for itself many times over. I have my brokers order desk programed into the #5 and in case of an emergency with my net, connection, or comp I just hold #5 for 3 sec and tell the guy at the other end my account number and to close all positions.

 

The other posts so far seem to suggest that you were some how going to place orders on your phone. I know you are too smart for that. Why do that anyway when you can just call the order desk and tell them to place an order like the old days? So you dont need a 2GIG iphone to just place a call for trading. Unless you want an iphone because its cool or gives you some sort of status. So yea buy the NOKIA call the order desk and put the extra cash in your pocket. ;)

The best phone/platform for trading is the one best supported by your broker (most features, developer support, etc.). For example with Interactive Brokers, they seem to support the iPhone the best.

    • The best and the most sure-fire way to avoid all these forms of nonsense is NEVER to send any money to anyone, no matter the circumstances they claim... Even your closest family members.   Whatever they claim will happen to them, let it happen.   There is nothing new under the sun...   You need to be extremely cruel.... Never send anything of value to anybody, no matter what they claim, even if they claim death.   If you can follow this GOLDEN RULE, you will avoid a lot of regrets, heartaches and disappointments from all areas.   I send money only to people I have promised before.... Or someone I am seeing face-to-face... Or someone I have confirmed beyond reasonable doubts from external/independent sources that they really need the money.   Otherwise, nobody under this heaven can come out of blue (unless my parents or wife), even my siblings and request money.   Over 90% of requests for financial assistance and are fraudulent.   After all, if you die today... The scammers (even in the family) will continue to live without you.   Those who are merciful, kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the easy preys and targets of these scoundrels - 419 scammers.   They like gullible people and hate tough/cruel people.   Do not allow anyone to cause you to feel guilty for what you don’t do… Those dubious people want to make you feel guilty for not helping. But you don’t need to feel guilty as long as you’re not the cause of their problems or the issues they have.   It is better to lose customers/friends/family members/anyone's goodwill and keep your money, than to lose their goodwill and also lose your money.   Because that is what will happen at last... I have lost count of how many people that are currently regretting giving out loans, just because they want to retain goodwill.   When you're trying to please people, you end up displeasing yourself... And you will discover that those who are encouraging you to be kind and generous are themselves wicked and stingy.   Esin o dede l’oro... Araye lo ko esin loro. (It's humans being that taught the horse how to be cruel).   The best way to avoid falling for scam is NEVER to send anything of value to anyone, no matter who the person is to you or how they relate to you on this planet...   And never try to get anything for free or reap where you don't sow and never try to get rich quickly.   Follow this: You will escape/avoid all scams, lies, pretenses, fakeries, headaches, sorrow, regrets, high BP, later in your life.   Ignore this rule at your own PERIL.   Have a nice day. PS: And scammers will be using AI also for impersonations, phishing attempts and deepfake tricks. Just delay indefinitely and make independent calls, research and investigation before you part with anything of value. If you can't go through the rigors, just ignore the deals. I hope the Western World will soon pass legislation to regulate AI and deal with those who use it for evil.  To get free, winning trading signals, please visit: https://t.me/predictmag
