VMWare is your best bet for running windoz on a mac - better than parrallels and it can use your existing bootcamp partition. I use it to trade emini's (ES, ER2, YM).
For all other trading, including forex I use the Mac end of things - just more intuitive and easier.
Broker: Interactive Brokers (runs on a Mac - no problem). Also they have the best spreads out there. I have run their platform side by side with several other Brokers (Market Makers) and IB consistantly has the best spreads. Also IB is an ECN.
Charting/Analysis Software: Investor/RT (LinnSoft) - (runs on a Mac - no problem) while IB offers charts, their offering is very basic (no candles), so I found it neccessary to use IRT for technical studies.
Automated Trading: AutoTrader - (runs on a Mac - no problem) allows you to get in and out of trades lickety split without getting emotional.
YOU CAN TRADE ON YOUR MAC. All three of the above work with no emulation.
Happy Pippin
