Re: Trading Platforms for Mac?

yes. I used Investor/RT by LinnSoftwre, for many years. It is on mac osx and pc.

They are adding direct broker trading now. IB, Transact, and others I forgot.

It also has simulated trading. And many other features like playback etc...

trading from charts, trade lines for stop, target move line then order adjusts!

if need more info I be glad to try.

Re: Trading Platforms for Mac?

Trash the mac and use a PC. You dont have to worry about software issues. Falcon trading computers have some bang for your buck desktops. I purchased my desktop from them 8 months ago and im very satisfied. FYI: i dont work for them.

Re: Trading Platforms for Mac?

To trade on a Mac without Windows virtual machine (Parallels, VMWare, Bootcamp),
the only and best solution I know is Investor RT :

but it's a monthly fee, and it's expensive....

Re: Trading Platforms for Mac?

I definitely wouldn't trash my Mac as strtedat22 recommends. Mac OSX beats the pants off Windows any day with none of Windows inherent problems. Unfortunately very very few of the brokers/charting software providers are bothered enough to provide software versions for the growing number of Mac users. The only exception, as mention by Tradr Mike, is IB and Investor RT by Linnsoft. Linnsoft is also in the process of adding additional brokers over the coming months. This is what I am currently using and I can say the IRT software for Mac us very good.

Re: Trading Platforms for Mac?

I have been usin g a multi monitor mac for over 2 years now, with great success. It works fine, no issue, no reboots, and the most stable trading machine I have had to date...

I have been running with VMWARE Fusion, and run a windows XP workstation.

I can have my charts on the screens, and then switch to a different workspace, and have other applications up, very nice, very tricked out.

My question to other traders that use MAC's are have you found it to function with running VMWARE with up to 8 monitors?

How does it run?
