Despite the fact that TradeStation doesn’t run on the Mac, I have really grown to love their platform for strategy backtesting and the incredible flexibility of being able to write Easy Language code to do just about anything… I am using it to do short-term trend following based on 10 Minute bars …   For someone who likes applying technology, writing a bit of software, and loves trading … TradeStation is nirvana.   .. more info to come.

    Are you running Tradestation on a Mac? Which Windows software are you using? Have you encounered any problems with the interface?

  2. Hi tollbooth -

    I am running TradeStation 8.3 using Parallels Desktop with Windows XP as the guest OS. I have had no problems to speak of … works great.

    Best.

    Tha Apple Store said they do not officially support and/or deal with any problems encountered using the guest OS (XP) with parallel desktops. For a non-techie who would know how to fix issues? Thank you for your help
    Phil

  4. The best place to get help is on the Parallels forum site (http://forum.parallels.com/). Also, I have switched to using VMWare Fusion simply because I believe they have a longer operating history and more money behind their company (publicly traded). According to the last reviews I read Parallels is still better.

    Best.
