Hi folks, I'm a long-time day-trader looking to move from ThinkOrSwim but have been looking for brokers that offer a Native Mac app (emulators or Parallels never seem to work well for me). It seems like my current options are: 1. Lightspeed with Sterling LST 2. Interactive Brokers with Trader Workstation 3. ThinkOrSwim Are there any other that I should be aware of?
You might want to take a Trial run with Infinity Futures web-based AT pro that will run off any device..phone..mac..tablet..ipad..PC...anywhere you have internet etc. They also have a PC version of the platform if a trader wishes to download the platform. you might find the web-based sufficient for your needs. They will give you a month free trial.
You can use the Mac version of www.motivewave.com or investor rt from www.linnsoft.com to send orders to a wider range of brokers.
Isn't ThnkOrSwim based on Java? TWS is Java. Both should run with only Java installed, no need for emulator or Parallels. If you are looking for a Mac C/C++ based app, I think your options will be very limited. That's such a small market.
Hi, I am a full time trader. Motivewave is ok, you can set it up with IB. It is not veyr fast but it's stable. If you don't need a very fast execution it will be fine. I trade futures, it should be ok for stocks also.
Have you tried using Wine? It’s a pretty decent software that I’m using for running MT5 on my MAC. Out of your list I would choose TOS.
Infinity or AMP - I ask because I have no knowledge of USA brokers but understand both deal with small accounts ( Micro Futures) ? I am UK based
So does AMP with tradingview charts platform but I was referring to the experiences of USA traders with either company. Which company is more popular? among small account holders? And thanks for taking time out to reply. Much appreciated.
