Mobile phone vs. laptop vs. tab...what's your preferred device for day trading?

[BigBos]

I've been doing this trade since 2015. however, I tend to use PC because it gives a wide view, and ease of features on pc than mobile or tab version. however, I sometimes use my smartphone to control whether the price movement is in line with what I speculated, or whether the price is falling. I sometimes use my smartphone when I am outside the house. well, but I'm more inclined to use a PC because it's more convenient for me.

I think mobile phone is better choice as i'm also a day trader and using mobile phone, with having everytime in hand and can be easily accessible for the users any time, any where, but if you are using laptop, so it will be difficult for many of the investors to use it anywhere. I think mobile phone would be a best choice for all the users who are investing in day trading, but its up to you.

I haven't day traded for hours in a long time but still I make use of my laptop anytime I want to trade, laptop makes your analysis limitless. The views from the chart would be bolder and clearer. The mobile screem is small compared to that of your desktop or laptop so they'll be more preferable options.

My Mobile could be used to just stay updated with the market using my app that's if I need to do some other stuffs that'll involved me leaving my desktop for some seconds.

Secondly for the security reasons I'll still have to go with my laptop as my mobile is used to access more unsecured sites compared to my laptops. For example my social medias platforms, gaming platforms etc are all access with my mobile so just to stay security cautious with addition to other benefit of using a larger scream, my laptop has to be my go to option.

I have to say even desktop PC could be better. Think about it, if you have 8 monitors, all looking at some other chart showing you what's going on at the same time and you have your last monitor right in front of you looking at the exchange, just waiting for you to click buy or sell based on what you are seeing on the other monitors? That's the thing about desktop computers, they are the real limitless ones, mobile is definitely worse than a laptop, but a desktop has so much more room to grow, it could grow bigger than you can ever imagine, you can plug it into a HUUGE tv as well and look at it there, just divide the screen into 8 different things because if your screen is big enough you do not need other monitors.

In that case desktop is by far the best one, if you want hours and hours of trading, laptop is not easy because it Is still quite small to check everything, bigger than a phone, but still not enough if you ask me.

[South Park]

My main trading tool is still a Desktop Pc, because everything can be done in front of a Desktop PC. If you only use a smartphone or tablet the work will be limited. The analysis will be limited and it will be more difficult.

More secure and free to use a Desktop PC. Every day I spend about 4 hours doing analysis in front of a desktop PC. Cell phones and tablets are only portable devices to check the market and do some entry if you are outside the house.

Also there is nothing like the precision a mouse gives you, trying to do anything with any degree of accuracy and speed is very difficult in a smartphone or a tablet but with a mouse and a keyboard you can make very precise inputs in a matter of seconds that are completely impossible in those devices, now this may not seem like a big deal but if you are a day trader those seconds can be the difference between being a profitable trader or not and you cannot give yourself the luxury of losing trades because of the device that you are using.

Question is SPECIFICALLY to experienced day traders who have been day trading for several years and spend AT LEAST four hours a day trading.

Not a bad idea to do a poll actually if you want to gather some kind of data and opinions.

And a small suggestion, if you want only experienced day traders to answer, it is much better to put some kind of a hint in the title because not everyone actually reads the OP and they jump directly into replying.

Now since I am here and I have done day trading a lot maybe not as experienced as you are looking for though, I always prefer trading on my laptop because mobile is just too small and congested to understand things properly and I haven't traded on a tablet yet so don't know about it.

If you're day trading full time and you have all the time in the world for it...and you can only choose one of those devices, which would you choose...and most importantly, why that one instead of the others?

if you ask me to choose one of the three devices above are best for trading, then I will choose a laptop or pc
I've tried trading on smartphones and tablets but it's not as comfortable as trading on a laptop or PC

The trading tools that we can use on tablets and smartphones are very limited and that's what really bothers me when trading on both devices

I have almost a similar style in terms of trading. I use my desktop and software installed on it to trade all day but if I need to cash some profits or look out how some trades are going, I open the exchange application on my mobile and check it quickly. Sometimes I need to make payments and I directly send from the exchange, although it costs a few extra bucks.

I think mobile phone would be a best choice for all the users who are investing in day trading, but its up to you.

But, the problem I often feel trading on mobile is that the application often times gets frozen and I end up clicking the screen to no avail which later results in some unwanted clicks. For example, you click the screen 5 times but it performs the action after 20 seconds, it just messes up things for me.

When it comes to convenience then nothing beats out on using a pc or laptop due to larger screen and also with some indicators that only work on bigger screen but the biggest cons when you do work
on a computer is that you are just stationary which basically means that if you are a person who do make transit on active manner then this wouldnt really be that possible for you to do so.
Only daytraders would really be sitting out on their computer or pc almost a day and this is where people do differ on what type of trader they are basing on the time
allocated on such activity.

If I am to choose one over the others I am going to choose my laptop at all times. Yup, my laptop is the best for my trading, although it is not something that I carry around all the time, most times it is in my house and I only get to make use of it when I am at home. Why laptop is the best for trading is because it is as powerful as a trading desktop, and since it is a full computer, you are getting every features that will be available on that platform and you also have a wider screen to trade as well.

I also use mobile phone, but it can’t be compared to laptop, same as tabs. And moreover I can carry my laptop around, though it wouldn’t be as easy as carrying your smartphone around, you’re going to need your backpack for it.

[bandungan]

I choose to use a laptop. because by using a laptop and a wider screen size I can freely monitor trading developments. other than that by using my laptop I can record the moment every time in trading which is very important so that it can be easier going forward in daily trading or long-term trading

Laptop will be good. Because with wide screen can really help us seeing chart and not afraid to missclick because in laptop people usually use mouse. And for mobility, only for trading laptop can brought anywhere we want and still can access it although there are no electricity because it can turned on and it is enough to make order in wherever we want.

[so98nn]

What?
I am not sure why would it matter to know which is preferred device for others while doing the day trade?

Idk, few of them are saying laptop is good few of them saying mobiles are good since they are fit for on the way game etc. But, the thing is you should be choosing your own to trade on your favourite devices. You might comfortable on the tab while someone else might say they are comfortable only on the laptop. I get it, you might be asking this out of the few factors like comfort, data representation, speed trades, easy access etc.

However, the perception of same would be different for every person. I think you should be experimenting day trade few times on different devices and see yourself which is the best fit for you.

That's true, what is clear is that laptops are recommended, of course, because if we talk about trading, of course using our laptops will be more effective when compared to using a mobile phone,
with a laptop we can be more comfortable even more for productivity

[ItsCrafty]

I'm using both of them for trading whether it is day trading or investing in the long term coins, But the main point is that it can be taken as all the time, If a trader give much time to trading then it is confirmed at a situation that the trader can earn a lot profit from following his own trading strategies.

[ReiMomo]

I use mobile device and Lap. But always I use only mobile device for day trading which is very handy and quick to access. And respective mobile apps of the exchange I use, is really nice and so fast and secure enough to use. The features are user friendly to navigate and place orders, withdraw, deposit, secure and etc Mobile device is very comfortable for day trading.

[arbifahrozy]

 i prefer laptop for day trading. by using laptop for trading every link and every tab opens easily. many tabs can open simultaneously in laptop whereas in mobile only one tab opens at once. That's why it is easy to use and just attainable at any time.

I have the opposite opinion, I think this matters a lot, it is known that the way the information is presented can change your perception of what is actually happening, and the size of the screen of each device is completely different so the amount of information that you can receive in each device is different and the representation is different as well, so it is important to see the opinions of others about the devices they use so we can have a more informed opinion about the device that we would like to use.

Disagree with this one because the information you could get would be still the same neither you do have small screen or big screen.The difference here is on the presentation of those informations
which some people doesnt really like to have the hassle of scrolling while you can see all of those infos in one go if you do have a bigger screen.So most of the time it would be much preferable
on having wider or bigger screen when doing day trading. Active trading does simply means you are stationary or most like on your house which i dont see for mobile or smaller
screens to be that effecient.

[Hypnosis00]

I use a mobile phone and laptop for trading that still works but honestly, it was good to have a wider screen when it comes to trading. Well, I only use my phone when I was in the job during my break time just to check the market trend but most of the time I use a laptop where I'd become more comfortable with it. That only it differs from them as the system and process are still the same but if we wanted to avoid some mistakes in placing our buy or sell order, that it becomes advisable to do use laptop or PC.

[Yatsan]

It duly depends on the availability of thr devices you have for trading. All mobile phones, laptop/desktop and tablets can be good depending on your choice of familiarity and comfortability. But mostly since it is day trading, people do prefer using mobile phones since those are the ones that are easily accessible in any time you wanted to take a look at your trades. But if you were a working individual who preferably brings tablet or laptops outside, then it is also good thing to be done.
