But Apple’s superior hardware engineering has resulted in laptops that almost run Windows-native software (like TradeStation) better and faster than on a Windows machine! Yes, no doubt PCs have come a long way since my horrible experiences with Dells in 20 and the awful Windows 8.1, etc. Seamless integration with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, etc.Very quick start up (only bettered by my Chromebook, a Pixelbook Go).Beautifully engineered hardware, no joints, no nooks and crannies to get dirty.It just works – easy OS, installing/uninstalling applications, etc.No fan noise and cool – the fan only kicks in when I’m rendering video.Īnd then there are the usual Pros of using an Apple Mac:.Multiple tick bar charts, open simultaneously, are not a problem.Real-time charts update quickly indicator and system code is fast.

It works – no crashes, no re-starts, no blue screens of death.So here are the Pros I see in running TradeStation on a Mac: So in the meantime, the best way to run one of the leading charting platforms on a Mac is to use “emulation” software. tick charts are not yet available, charts can change when refreshed, etc.) – and in time I’m sure these technical issues will get resolved. There are some technical issues that need to get sorted (e.g. TradingView has been a huge success – but is still not ready to replace TradeStation or NinjaTrader. The leader in this field of cloud-based charting platforms is TradingView, developed by the makers of MultiCharts. And then you can use either a PC or a Mac to run your browser and you’re good to go. Which means all you need is an Internet browser, like Chrome, to run this new generation of cloud-based software. Having said that though, apps in general are moving to the cloud. No significant charting platform has ever been written for Mac users. That is, TradeStation, NinjaTrader, MultiCharts, eSignal, Metastock and MetaTrader were all developed for the Windows operating system. None of the major charting platforms have been written for or ported to the Mac OS.
