Combine these events with Trade-Ideas’ new trading automation (with selected brokers), and we may be heralding a renewed emphasis of mobile trading.

Is there a demand for this kind of trading?

I imagine a trader headed out to lunch, to the bathroom, or to get a haircut and wanting to still know when an alert comes through a particular strategy.

I don’t frankly know so I’ve placed a poll to find out on the right hand side of the blog. Let me know with a click or a comment if this would be interesting to have enabled in your Trade-Ideas or Scottrade or any other TI-powered account.
