How to Access TradeLyser on Mobile

TradeLyser is built for traders who review P&L between sessions, tag trades from the couch, or check sync status before the next market open. You do not need a separate native app install for core workflows: the mobile web experience at tradelyser.com delivers a responsive dashboard, trades log, journal, and notifications when you use a modern browser or Add to Home Screen shortcut.

This guide explains how to access TradeLyser on mobile, optimize the layout for charts and tables, keep login secure on phones, and fix common mobile loading issues.

Mobile access options compared​

MethodBest forNotes
Mobile browser (Chrome, Safari)Quick checks, full feature setRecommended default
Home screen shortcut (PWA-style)Daily habit, faster launchSame data as browser
Desktop site modeWide tables, rarePinch-zoom; not ideal

TradeLyser syncs the same account data as desktop—filters, tags, and broker connections are not duplicated; they are one cloud journal.

Step 1: Open TradeLyser in your mobile browser​

  1. Open Chrome (Android) or Safari (iOS).
  2. Navigate to https://tradelyser.com.
  3. Tap Log in and enter email/password or Continue with Google.
  4. Complete 2FA if enabled (secure account).
  5. Allow notifications when prompted if you want sync and login alerts on mobile.

First-login tips​

  • Use landscape orientation for equity charts and wide trade tables.
  • Pinch-zoom sparingly—most tables support horizontal swipe for more columns (mobile trades).
  • Save credentials only in a password manager, not plain notes apps.

Step 2: Add TradeLyser to your home screen​

A home screen icon launches TradeLyser like an app—full screen, no browser chrome, faster return visits.

iOS (Safari)​

  1. Open tradelyser.com and log in.
  2. Tap the Share icon (square with arrow).
  3. Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Name it TradeLyser → Add.
  5. Open from the new icon on subsequent visits.

Android (Chrome)​

  1. Open tradelyser.com and log in.
  2. Tap the menu (⋮).
  3. Tap Add to Home screen or Install app (wording varies by Chrome version).
  4. Confirm; icon appears on launcher.

Home screen sessions still respect security timeouts—long absence may require re-login, especially with broker OAuth.

Step 3: Navigate the mobile interface​

  • Tap ☰ (hamburger) to open navigation.
  • Core sections: Dashboard, Trades, Journal, Reports, Settings.
  • Account switcher (multi-broker) appears in the header when configured—see Switch Accounts.

Dashboard on mobile​

  • Widgets stack vertically; scroll for P&L, win rate, trade count.
  • Date filters work the same as desktop—scope affects all linked widgets.
  • Deep dive: Mobile Dashboard.

Settings on mobile​

  • Profile, security, broker connections, and notifications are reachable.
  • Reconnect broker OAuth flows open in the same browser—complete the full redirect back to TradeLyser.

What works well on mobile​

✅ View dashboard and daily P&L
✅ Browse and filter trades log
✅ Quick tags, ratings, and notes (including voice input where supported)
✅ Journal and checklist entries
✅ Push/browser notifications for sync and security
✅ Trigger manual sync after broker login

Limitations to expect​

  • Very wide custom reports may need landscape or desktop for printing.
  • Bulk select of hundreds of trades is easier on desktop (bulk operations).
  • Complex Excel-style exports may be easier to download on desktop Wi‑Fi.

Mobile security best practices​

  1. Enable screen lock (PIN, fingerprint, Face ID) on the device.
  2. Turn on TradeLyser login alerts (login alerts).
  3. Avoid logging in on borrowed phones; if you must, log out and end session from Manage Sessions on desktop afterward.
  4. Do not screenshot API keys or passwords.
  5. Review Active Sessions monthly for unknown mobile browsers.

Sync and broker OAuth on mobile​

Broker connections (Zerodha Kite, Fyers, etc.) often require daily OAuth on mobile browsers:

  1. Settings → Accounts → Reconnect.
  2. Complete broker login and 2FA in the redirect tab.
  3. Wait for Connected status before expecting new trades.

If sync fails after successful login, see Trades Not Syncing and Connection Failed—not a mobile-only bug.

Performance and data usage​

  • TradeLyser is lighter than streaming chart platforms but images and reports use more data on cellular.
  • Use Wi‑Fi for first load after long offline period (large trade history).
  • Clear browser cache only when support advises—otherwise you may need to re-login.

Device-specific notes​

iOS Safari​

  • Private Relay can trigger “unusual location” login alerts—expected.
  • Low Power Mode may delay push notifications.
  • Update iOS for best PWA support.

Android Chrome​

  • Data Saver may block large report downloads—disable for export minutes.
  • Samsung Internet works but Chrome is the tested path for OAuth brokers.

Tablets​

Tablets excel at chart review in landscape; use same home screen shortcut as phones for consistent session.

Offline and poor-network behavior​

TradeLyser requires connectivity to sync new broker trades. You may still read cached pages briefly after load, but do not tag or rate offline expecting sync—queue actions may fail silently. When network returns, pull to refresh on mobile trades before journaling.

Troubleshooting mobile access​

Slow loading or spinner stuck​

  1. Check 4G/5G or Wi‑Fi stability.
  2. Force-close browser; reopen home screen icon.
  3. Try incognito/private tab to rule out extensions (Android Firefox).
  4. See Dashboard Not Loading.

Layout cut off or tiny text​

  1. Rotate to landscape.
  2. Disable Desktop site mode in browser menu if accidentally on.
  3. Update iOS/Android and browser to latest version.

Cannot log in / 2FA fails​

  1. Verify phone date/time automatic (TOTP drift).
  2. Use backup 2FA code once.
  3. Try Google Sign-In if email login fails.

Home screen icon opens wrong page​

Remove shortcut and re-add after logging in on the live site.

Trades missing on mobile but visible on desktop​

Usually date filter or account selector scope—not device bug. Read Missing Trades and confirm All Accounts vs single broker.

Frequently asked questions​

Is there a TradeLyser iOS or Android app store app?​

Core access is via mobile web and home screen shortcut. Check TradeLyser announcements for any native app release in your region.

Is mobile data the same as desktop?​

Yes—one account, real-time cloud state after sync.

Can I add trades manually on mobile?​

Yes, where manual entry is supported in your plan—same flows as desktop.

Do notifications work on iOS Safari?​

Browser and PWA notifications depend on iOS version and permission; email alerts remain reliable (login alerts).

Can mentees use mobile?​

Yes, with their own login; permissions follow mentee settings.

Will logout on mobile log out desktop?​

Only if you choose sign out everywhere or end sessions from Security—not routine single-device logout.

Is mobile safe on public Wi‑Fi?​

Use VPN or cellular; avoid sensitive changes on untrusted networks.

Why does broker reconnect open a new tab?​

OAuth security requirement—return to TradeLyser tab after authorizing.

Can I use desktop and mobile same day?​

Yes—session and data sync; set account scope on each device if you use different brokers per device.

Low storage on phone?​

Exports and cache can grow—clear old Downloads; avoid clearing site data unless support advises.

Mobile access during the Indian market session​

The NSE cash session runs 9:15 AM–3:30 PM IST; many traders check P&L and open risk on mobile during breaks rather than at a desk. Add TradeLyser to your home screen before the open so you are not hunting bookmarks while volatility spikes. After the first coffee scan, switch to landscape when reviewing mobile dashboard widgets—rupee columns and win-rate tiles are easier to read wide.

Post-market review on mobile works well for quick view trades log filters and checklist ticks, but heavy bulk operations belong on desktop. If you reconnect Zerodha or Angel One from the phone, finish OAuth in the broker tab and return to TradeLyser before tagging. Enable login alerts so a new handset registration during an upgrade week does not go unnoticed. When cellular data is weak in metro trains, rely on Wi‑Fi for broker sync; use trades not syncing if fills appear on the broker app but not in TradeLyser after 3:45 PM.

Quick start summary​

  1. Browser → tradelyser.com → Log in
  2. Add to Home Screen for one-tap access
  3. Enable notifications and login alerts
  4. Use landscape for charts; swipe tables for columns
  5. Reconnect brokers on phone same as desktop
