I too have been struggling with this issue - regularly checking through Google and today I found this thread on Forex Factory.
Some of you may already be aware of it:
metatrader on mac (intel)
I commend it to you, and draw attention to post #7 on the thread where the steps to establish the functions are clearly outlined.
I have the latest iMac Intel core 2 duo on 24" screen. I bought it specifically to trade FX and intended to run Boot Camp to enable the MT4 PC version.
Another method I have heard used is to have a PC computer dedicated solely to MT4 charting (a "mule"), without monitor. Display is via screen-share network, with which I am not yet familiar ... getting there.
Has anyone else tried the PC "mule" approach?
If the
CodeWeavers - Your Home for Windows Compatibility on Mac and Linux software fails to do it to a reasonable level of performance (I would be happy with even a 2nd-grade result) I will revert to my original idea of using Boot Camp.
My new Mac came with Tiger loaded, but they included the Leopard disc, which is a cinch to instal.
iMac have come a very long way in a very long time ... or so it seems. But recently I believe they have seen the light and are getting their act together.
Let's hope they come a very long way further in rapid time now, and catch up to PC in this growing genre of charting FX.
With best wishes
