Who uses what, and what's better for trading, PC or MAC?

[DickP]

PC all the way man. What more than apps can you possibly run on an Ipad or Imac or Mac OS?

MT4 is for both potentially but its a dumbed down version if I remember correctly. Whatever the case may be, its whatever your comfortable on, I just think your probably missing out on some things not available for Mac.

Absolutely. PC all the way. It never fails that I run into an Apple user that says, "I wish I could play/run that game/program, but Apple says they'll have a program similar out soon for my Mac."

FAKE APPLE STORES! Someone at the factory HAD to be in on this for them to turn a profit.

Did they expect the company not to find out?

I'm torn. I have a mac but you've gotta install windows on it to run most trading platforms. When you turn your computer on, hold down the option button and you have the choice of using either the mac or windows operating system. Most people I know with pc's have had issues with having to get them repaired and so on. I've had my mac for about 5-6 years and I have never had even 1 issue with it. Keep in mind that I'm on my computer for at least 4 hours every day except maybe saturday.

Hey sniper, that's one thing about the mac that I guess is better about the PC, it's really about personal preference I guess... PC for me.

[Dannyfx]

For trading... PC, for everything else, Mac.

[Arief Makmur]

Because I trade with a Metatrader.4 software; I just used PC (OS: Windows) only Not MAC from Apple's.

PC is my first choice to trade forex. There are number of forex trading software, platforms, tools and all most all support PC.

Definitely PC because lot's of trading software is not MAC compatible.

BTW, can anybody share experience of using a screen adapter. Right now i have two screens (one graphic card) but i am thinking about to add another screen and my graphic card does not support three screens. Adapters seem to be a economic solution but as i have no experience with, some advice would be helpful.

Thank you very much in advance!

Yea, Mac is shooting themselves in the foot with anyone in the trading industry.

I think Mike would have some good advice for you, he ran like 13 monitors on 2 machines at one point. He hasn't been on in a long time though. PM him or something dude.

are you talking USB? 'the external graphics card from like Pluggable? NOW they are almost flawless becase of Usb3.0.
2.0 can sometimes be sluggihs but actully fine for semistatic xtra charts which is what you want. Usb3.0 upgrade cards can get for Swiss 35. Then pluggable is 50. So 80 to 90 will be suit for 1 xtra montor

Or go Matrox head2head if cash no problem
