    Mac for trading? - I have a few questions.

    The biggest hang up I find with Vista is the special graphics. For the sake of speed and efficiency I turn all the special graphics off. it lightens the RAM needs and VM paging loads on your computer.

    Mac for trading? - I have a few questions.

    I apologize I erred on the multiple monitor thing with the imac. You can actually support 3 additional monitors with the matrox adapter. I apologize if I limited you in any way ;) The only drawback is that you can only connect a max of 3 monitors running at 1280x1024 resolution each...

    Mac for trading? - I have a few questions.

    You'd be mistaken about the iMac and multiple monitors. With a simple adaper from Matrox you can attach 2 additional monitors to an iMAC. Also as the guy said Parallels is currently the best offering. They have a mode entitled Coherence that allows you to run windows programs without seeing...

    MAC Charting Software

    Late to this thread, but I found GREAT success with InvestorRT (Linnsoft) Trendsoft wasnt very MACesque. Very mac friendly, FAST. I used Mytrack datafeed. Of course it supports multiple Monitors and you can save various screen layouts. Now however, I use Parallels in Coherence Mode. I...

    What Is The Best Stock Screener?

    You must be still on a G5/g4 (ppc) mac. Under intel mac, Trade-Ideas runs inside Crossover. VERY well I might add. Though window linking doesnt work. Or. I've been using Parallels in Coherence Mode To run my software. (Meaning I dont have to suffer looking at a windows desktop.)...

    Sogo Invest and Zecco trading...experiences and/or thoughts

    If you are doing VERY rapid trading, Sogo may be too slow as they have a trade window then a confirmation window. However Execution is VERY FAST after you hit the submit button. Most market orders I place are executed by the time the page refreshes (Firefox tells me as fast 2-4 seconds on...
