I use a blackberry..but its not the phone...here is what you do.. open an IGMarkets acount..no cost..then install the igmoblie download..have them load Live SA prices onto your acount and set up your watchlist...then you can see market live....sit at the beach or go for a walk..and when the market hits your level..phone to trade on OTS..or DWT.

WHAT?...John u do really live in a fairtytale world sometimes....have u never heard of limit orders/automated buys/stop losses whatever u wanna call it?...mate when I go to the beach or go for a walk I go to the beach or for a walk....whats the point of being glued to a screen? ...u forget one of the biggest mistakes of the amateur trader is not being able to overcome the fear of being left out...this is not like the school playground....

the point is he is not at his desk. I use this to move up stops when I am out..never to enter a trade.

err trailing stops? and if the OST cannot run on a mobile device (which it cannot) how would u be able to move your stops up if you cannot even view your positions...a spike may already have taken you out? cum on John that was just some lill romantic amateur trader notion of being able to trade while at leisre

www.igmarkets.co.uk...register for a demo account..then go to www.igmobile.com (.co.uk) and download the apple iphone package then off you go..demo last 2 weeks so you will need to open a real account if you like.
