I came form ToS and just trying Sierra Charts but, WOW, what a platform! I just downloaded it a week ago and still haven't even scratched the surface of what this program can do.
Just curious, I am using it on a Mac using Parallels, are there any issues using it this way?
I retire in about 2 years and am papertrading on ToS but once I retire I will switch to Sierra charts and go live. Do I need to get a PC or will a Mac with Parallels work just as well?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I run sierra chart on a macbook pro with parallels professional edition. I give parallels 16GB of ram but sierra doesn’t need that much. Sierra Chart runs flawlessly. :-)
Yes, I believe only parallels professional gives you that option. But you may find that Sierra runs great as is on your current set-up. Sierra is very efficient!
Just started to explore Sierra Chart I can see why professionals like it because it is so flexible, but the learning curve is steep I don't mind tinkering with it. I found the directions to be good just have to read it carefully I get hung up when I miss a step and something doesn't work.
Im using Sierra for about a two weeks. Fairly new to whole traiding. Im mac user as well. Was running it on my windows and also on vmware.
Vmware was ok. It wasn’t the smoothest experience, but still pretty good. Then I tried crossover for mac. Much better.
So if you dont want to pay for Parallels, Crossover is very nice alternative.
Didnt try Parallels tho
