Many people asked MetaQuotes to develop a mobile version of Metatrader 4
for Iphone. Unfortunately, the mobile version of MT4 is only available
for the Windows Mobile platform ( Smartphones and Pocket PC's, look for
the download links in "MT downloads" sidebar ). However the good news is
that Metatrader 5 will be available for Iphone and Google Android
platforms! It was recently confirmed by MetaQuotes staff in this thread.
The development of the Iphone app is progressing, and it will be
probably released first. Bad news is that there wont be a version
anymore for the Windows Mobile platfrom, Windows Phone 7 will be also
avoided. I think this is because of the bad reputation Microsoft got
with the countless bugs of Windows Mobile 6 and the drastic changes in
code in the 7th version.
The Metatrader 5 Iphone app will feature a uniform design that will
seamlessly fit in the Iphone interface. The app is developed from
scratch and will be 100% native to the Iphone OS. Also, it will be
different from the interface in Metatrader 4 Windows Mobile. The release
date is not known yet. If the mobile version of Metatrader 5 is one of
the reasons you will buy a smartphone, this information will help you to
decide what platform to buy. I personally like the Android OS.
If
you want to use Metatrader 4 on your Iphone, you can use tools that
create a remote connection to your desktop, where Metatrader 4 is
running. For example, you can use the TeamViewer app for Iphone,
it connects to any PC around the world and you can remotely control the
PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. You can also seamlessly
use iPhone to login directly to your PC running MT4 using the PC2ME app. With PC2Me you can remote control of your Windows PC, using your iPhone via the Safari browser. There is also a Iphone app that allows you to monitor your Metatrader 4 accounts using myfxbook.com's backend:
Actually, the remote connection to the desktop version of the Metatrader
terminal is in some cases better than a mobile version of MT for the
smartphone. On the smartphone you have always limited computing
resources and not all features of the full version of Metatrader. For
example, if you are using a expert advisor on your desktop, you can only
control it via a remote connection. But if you want to quickly check
the market quotes, the mobile version is better.
