brokers with iphone application, page-7

Rob, you're right. I take your and see the error of my ways - I've spend far too much on brokerage due to trading on my iPhone and having it so accessible.

I'd much prefer to have access to algorhythmic tools so I could unemotionally and rationally prepare for the range of scenarios that could occur in the next few weeks. I've got a strong suspicion that it's outside my budget though.

Given the fact I'm a full time student, my rationale is that provided I can keep a level head and stick to my plans, iPhone trading allows me to at least access the day markets where I wouldn't normally have access to the web. You make a good point though.

Look, I'm a young kid who's put his first spare thousand bucks on the stock market trying to get the ball rolling in life financially. I'm no fool, I look before I leap, and I'm doing everything I can to learn how to play the game. Brokerage really affects my margins, as does the cost of sophisticated tools (eg Spark, algos, guaranteed stop losses etc), which I would love to have access to but they would kill my margins at this stage of my portfolio. I want to persist and master this game. Any advice you could offer which would help me get beyond this difficult entry-level position would be really appreciated.

Cheers,
