The only reason I prefer Parallels is that it gives me the ability to integrate a windows operating system into my Mac OS. But there’s a free virtual machine system from Oracle called VirtualBox which works flawlessly as well. Everything works nice and smoothly as it would on a real windows machine. With Parallels, you can install a windows system and then have your MT4 trading platform on the virtual machine. In my opinion the most suitable virtual machine application for Mac is Parallels. The best option for me, as a Mac User so far has been to install a virtual machine. There are a few options to trading on a Mac. But we as forex traders, irrespective of the computers we have, should trade. Still, the best trading platform for Mac remains MT4. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the cost that will be incurred building trading platforms for Mac OS.
There is a plethora of trading applications but one thing that surprises me is the fact that not enough have been made to be worked with on Apple computers.
