What it is for
The mobile platform is built as a second screen, not as a replacement for your desk. It answers the questions that come up when you are away from it:- An alert fired — what actually happened?
- Where is price relative to the level I marked this morning?
- Is my analysis still valid, or has the setup broken?
For long analysis sessions — building a multi-widget layout, writing an indicator in the IDE, running a backtest —
the desktop remains the place to work. The phone is for staying in control between those sessions.
The alert loop
The most common mobile scenario runs end to end without you opening a laptop:1
The alert is created once, anywhere
Set it up on the desktop or on the phone — alerts run in the cloud, so they
keep watching with every tab closed.

You check the chart from the header
The mobile header gives direct access to your alerts: review and manage the ones that triggered and open the
alert log without opening a workspace first. See Navigation.
What changes on a touch screen
Drawing
Drawing tools do not simply mimic mouse behaviour. A virtual touchpad appears over the chart so your finger never covers the point you are placing: move to steer the cursor, tap to place a point, long-tap to cancel, double-tap to finish. Existing drawings get a larger selection radius, and you can either drag a point immediately or long-tap it for precise editing. Drawing tools on mobile →Navigation
The mobile header keeps the same sections as the desktop one and adds the alert shortcut described above. The header is still being refined between releases, so individual items may move.Good to know
- Same account, same data. Workspaces, watchlists, alerts and indicators are shared — there is nothing to sync manually.
- No installation. The platform runs in the mobile browser; add it to your home screen if you want it one tap away.
- Security. Two-factor authentication works on mobile, including scanning the QR code and entering codes on the phone itself.
