![]() ![]() ![]() It runs as smooth as butter and fast as a rocket on my windows machine connected to TWO 4k Monitors even while screen recording. and again as I said.I'm nowhere near as profitable as the coach I mentioned who's consistently pulling profits out of the market with MW on his mac, and he never mentions any issue with it so.and as said he trades anywhere from 10-40 ES/NQ contracts depending on volatility and time of year so.if it's good enough for him.then. So yea, if you want the mac, you likely won't be bothered as long as you don't experience MW on windows. I should mention that my windows machine is still an 8-core with 64gb of ram and 1tb ssd and GTX 1660 graphics card, because I like to screen record all my stuff so.īut even my basic Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 with 16gb of ram connected to 4k monitor is fast with no lag and MW operates far better on it than all 3 of my macs, including the high end desktop mac. I just traded sim for a bit on the mac just to see, and thought "hey this isn't too bad actually from the laptop".then went on the windows machine with the 4k monitors and it's just a massive difference in speed and quality of experience still, even clicking orders into the DOM scalping.everything is just faster. Yes I consider myself what Jim Dalton would call a "fast trader" which is another way of calling it a modern day "scalper" so I rely pretty heavily on order flow tools and ability to navigate quickly.Ĭlick to expand.It runs as smooth as butter and fast as a rocket on my windows machine connected to TWO 4k Monitors even while screen recording. So to recap, if you use MW on mac with a 1440p resolution monitor and simply never allow yourself to experience it on windows, and are using a simple strategy that doesn't really require you to quickly drag charts around with all kinds of intense calculating studies such as Cumulative Delta or TPO charts, then it could be totally fine sticking with the mac, and hopefully one day JavaFX will support metal.Įither way, the apple machines have a 14 day return policy with no hassle, so you could always grab one and test it out to really determine if it can work out or not. If you want to use 4k monitors, then that's where the question of going mac vs windows becomes a bigger thing to contemplate, until JavaFX supports metal. my "trading time" is done on the "trading computer" and once i switch it off and go to my mac, then I can focus on my other business without feeling tempted to "take a peek" at markets when I'm not supposed to.Īnyway, hopefully this helps, and as I said, my coach who pulls money out of the markets consistently trading large contract sizes on ES has only ever used MW on Mac and he has ZERO complaints, and the pain of switching to Windows when he's already profitable and comfortable with the MW experience mac isn't necessarily going to cause him to make more money, so there's no true justification I suppose.Īlso, the more I think about it, MW lag on mac become a much more noticeable issue when I moved up to 4k monitors, so there's a case for you getting a mac if you're going to stick with 1440p resolution or lower for your monitor. I could also say that having a separate computer with a different operating system for trading does help me better compartmentalize and structure my days.i.e. I use macOS for EVERYTHING else and mac is just a much better experience in my day to day activity and other business. So if you are truly interested in using the macOS, which I definitely understand, then don't let my experience sway you. When I'm honest with myself, me succeeding or failing as a trader has more to do with me executing properly than what computer/OS I use. However, in all fairness, one of my coaches who's a great successful 20 year veteran traders uses MW on a Mac and has no issues pulling money out of the markets every week.
