Totally need to vent

[TinGull 10]

And since I love this forum so much, I'll let off my steam here HAHA!!

 

So...as you guys know who were in the room this morning, my pivots were a bit different. My MP pivots are how I like them, but the pivot points (PP, S1 and so on) weren't the same. Well...evidently every morning after my session starts, I need to download the daily data for the YM, at least 10 days worth, and click "apply" on my prefs window for that indicator. Holy moly!!!! You know...it would've made so much more sense this morning with some trades had this been working....ARG!!!!! I swear, people don't put in the time needed to develope good Mac software for trading. Whats the deal with that?!

 

Anywho...if you feel you need to vent about bogus software issues, now's the time

What's a Mac?

 

Or more correctly why would one use it for trading (My team used to have a Lisa so I have apple history). I love my WinXP 2G E6600 Core2Duo setup with TWS, ZLT and SierraChart

I've never used a PC and wouldn't ever care to. Too complicated when compared to my trusty macs. I've got an Intel Core2Duo in my Mac as well 2.16GHz, with 1gb RAM. It's a really sweet machine, just people are slow to jump on the bandwagon with trading software.

Mines a 2.4Ghz ... I wonder ... can you dual boot windows onto a mac platform so that you could use windows for trading and macOS for everything else?

 

I don't mean that you should run a windows simulator ... I meant real dual booting of XP as an alternative.

[TinGull 10]

You most certainly can! with Parallels Desktop for Mac you can boot inside of windows. It's not a simulator, but a box within a box.
