Day trading with your smartphone: what you should know technically
Execution & Risk
The starting point. Plenty of people start trading the FDAX on their iPhone between two meetings. For the broker, every order brings a fee, whether you're sitting in a café or in the car. For you, every order should be well thought out.
The reality. On a small screen the chart is cluttered, the buttons are too small, and under stress it's easy to miss-tap or click the wrong instrument. Trading this way is flying blind.
Desk Notes. Buying and analyzing stocks or futures belongs on a real laptop or Mac. Day to day, the app is good for exactly one thing: watching an open position or closing it in time in an emergency. Anyone who trades unprepared comes pretty close to pure gambling.
