Every broker in our rankings has a competent mobile app. The real question is what a phone should be used for.
Phones are good at
- Monitoring open positions and margin
- Adjusting stops and takes
- Closing positions in a hurry
- Price alerts
Phones are bad at
- Multi-timeframe analysis
- Precise order entry under pressure
- Anything involving an EA (they run on servers or desktops, not phones)
App highlights
VT Markets and Axi ship the strongest charting on mobile via built-in TradingView integration; the MT4/MT5 mobile apps are uniform across brokers and fine for position management; StarTrader's and PU Prime's branded apps add copy trading and account management on top of MetaTrader execution.

One rule
Decide on the desktop, manage on the phone. Traders who open positions from bed consistently regret it.
