Place your Mac based charting software here

[ipoppy]

Hi,
I was trying to find some suggestions regarding native charting software for Mac OSX. I couldn't find much pointers here apart from advice to use VMWare Fusion and Parallels. Yes, that can be solution but I prefer Mac based software incase of some hidden bugs in VMWare Fusion and Parallels.
I will be appreciated if someone can list such softwares in this topic. So far I have found:

1. http://www.beesoft.net/

2. http://churr.com/

3. http://joesoft.com/products/stox.php

4.Good link with few other programs....http://www.pure-mac.com/stocks.html

Its not much at this moment but hopefully list will get longer.
Thanks

...I think that at this stage if you are used to using a software that worked in Windows, then it is best to keep using it, as you may not find an alternative in Mac..

....However you do want to use Mac then use VMWare Fusion 3. With that it is possible to use every software that is available in Windows....So Metastock, Sharescope and even Indexia in DOS mode etc will work fine in Mac under the umbrella of VMWare...

....I suggest that you take this route for time being until specific software is written for Mac...Otherwise you will be sometime...

...I use MacBookPro 17in, 8GB with 500gb HD 7200rpm, VMWare, Windows Ultimate 7 working under VMWare Fusion 3...So far everything works like a rocket...!

Thanks for reply.
Software which you have mentioned is really Pro and cost a lot for someone with limited trading knowledge like me. I am looking for something more basic for the start. Once I will be making millions then probably I will use that expensive software.
Yes, but generally you are right. I am using Parallers on my a bit outdated Macbook Pro with Win 7 but I dont think I got enough processing power to maintain such a task smoothly.The same for my iMac. I guess I got too much unwanted stuff on it. However I am upgrading once new MBP revision come out.
Still will be nice if someone drop some link in here sometimes for basic charting software on Mac. These which I listed above are good but there is something always missing in their structure.

thinkorswim is awesome (but unavailable in canada--but i still use it for charting, etc)

trader workstation is also a good option. I'm considering this one for their low broker fees.

On my works fine. Excellent tool
If you got OSX 10.6 you might have problem with Java Applet. Its known problem. You got to repair disk permission or try in another browser like Firefox.

That might help:

In some cases people had to reinstall OS
