My 2023 Trading Set Up // Why the MacBook M1 Max is the BEST Trading Computer

Hi, wich broker is good for a Air M2 chip

if anyone can name 1 thing a macbook can do that a pc laptop can't (in regards to trading) i'll give you my left nut. Don't get caught up in the hype, not only can you get more from a pc laptop IT WILL BE CHEAPER AND FASTER! If you don't need portability get a desktop which will allow the use of cheaper quadro cards from yesteryear and have plenty of performance and monitor outputs if you choose your parts wisely.

There is nothing wrong with this setup but if you want more performance at a lower cost there are much better options. Mac users aren't better than PC users and vice-versa but in the end if your tools and preferences don't match steer clear of any hype and research, research, research...

There's videos out there that can show how a workstation gpu (quadro, firepro etc...) can be better options for trading applications and don't be fooled you can spend more on a pc laptop from lenovo and hp (or the like) than an m1 mac but you do get the matching performance. Ask yourself this though, a 2015 zbook 17 g3/g4? used for about 100-300 will probably be a better fit than a new mac with mxm gpu slots which you can then upgrade depending on need and still remain portable.

Hi Jon thank you for the great content how are you using Tradovate to trade on MAC PC's, I recentlty tried to download the desktop application to my M2 Mac mini and found out that I can trade on a MAC so I gave up and went back to options trading on IBKR's desktop Application. Please when you get a second can you point me in. the right direction to trading on IOS devices thank you again!

how long have you been a trader? i'm a beginner trader still learning about trading in the nfc community.

What site is this

Does TOS work well on the m1 Mac’s. I’ve been reading that it needs Rosetta and is slow ect….? I’m looking for a good laptop to run TOS with an extra monitor. Any help would be great. Thanks!!!

As such, if you guys really care of wired system for speed and refined experience then window + separated monitor squad is always better, not even laptop recommended.
Some platform doesn't even have the same speed for execution when it comes to ios, which is never ever built for trading.

Got me a M2 Macbook Air running multiple charts on multiple time frames without issue.

Using native Java (don't use the built-in Intel binaries), I run ToS on a 8GB MacBook Air without issue. It feels faster than my PC, even with a bunch of windows.

I swear i’ll never watch this channel again. Just got me dizzy.

Ninja trader not for mac

What is the app called ??

Am glad i grew my portfolio from 17k to 100k last month inside my wallet without sending a dime to anyone through the help of Mr ralf schadewald

If you try to run 3 monitors with the new MacBook Pro thinkorswim , do you see charts candles delay to print or keep up with price , and lag to load charts?

You have a 10 core cpu ?

What size Mac screen you recommend?

As an upcoming forex and Bitcoin trader I to tally understand the gravity of the knowledge you are trying to pass across, thanks for the info

Sick set up. And nice trade there too. I have been back and fourth with i9 or Mac…think I’m going with Mac so far.

is the macbook air m2 good for rrading as well?

Hi! Are you using parallels desktop to run your charting platform?

John, I'm about to start a trading set up and I also already on a Mac mini which I will use for charts and background. What laptop or computer would you recommend for trading on think or swim if you were buying one today?

Any TOS lag due to Apple Silicon? I'm hearing Rosetta Emulation is slow as the program is not Native Apple.

✅‼️💪🏽🫡

Is macbook air good for trading?

Hey bro I wanna ask if MacBook runs IQ Option website properly or not
coz I'm thinking to get one for trading please help🙌🏻

I'm going to buy a laptop now for about 1600 dollars to trade tou between an M2 16gb 256gb or some gaming pc with an Rtx 3060ti or 3070 which do you think is better?

Great video great trading set up brother! Good trading

I have an M1 Pro to TOS, have not opened it yet

Love it, the guitar is the most expensive thing, and I have macs lol!!!

Do you day trade on think or swim?

Hi, There Jon. Great info. Thanks. Can you tell me how wide of a desk you have? Thanks.

did i just watch a 5 min flex

you are already saying it yourself: "too many open windows slows down the mac". And this is why in terms of $$ a mac is not the best usecase for trading. U payed like 3000$+ for your macbook and mac mini I guess. With the same amount of money you will get areally great tower pc +2-3 Monitors and I promise you that the pc can open 20 chart windows+ and you won't notive a performance issue.

Are you using parallel with ThinkorSwim? If not, is it laggy on apple silicon Mac?

Hi I would love if you can answer this question....if you had a Mac Studio versus a Mac Mini 16gb, do you think you would need a two computer setup? Debating between the two.

I am always amazed to see how many bells and whistles you guys need for trading. If that helps you make money, that is a good thing, but from experience it is rarely the case… A simple dom and a watchlist is all I have been using during those years of profitable liquidity providing, with only one additional screen for eikon news. It is not about having tools, it is about having the right ones.

I trade Futures on Tradeovate, but use TOS for my charting, I am running a 2019 i9 32gb macbook pro. I have 4 externals running into a EGPU that has a thunderbolt cable come to my mac which also charges my mac. I wana switch to a m1 max, but everyone is saying TOS doesn't work well with m1

Hi Jon. I ma a trader myself, and use a multi monitor setup. I am looking for a new Macbook and wanted to ask you regarding the 16 Max I see you running with the 32GB. Is it really worth to get the 64GB? Or you think no memory pressure with 32GB? Thanks!

I too love my MacBook Pro m1 16"--trading the tastyworks platform --fun trading the futures

I was intrigued until you said you run 2 computers for this setup. I run 4 monitors (8 charts, main trading window with active trader with 3 additional charts, while streaming cnbc via hulu) all off of my Lenovo legion 5 pro (last year ryzen) and it’s flawless. Thank you for confirming Mac has got a long way to go for a trading setup.

love the rolex! nice setup

Off topic comment.
What can you advise on prop firms?
As I understand it, working with topstep makes no sense because they pull money from people. What about leelootrading and apextraderfunding? Are there any other companies you can work with without problems?

How long does the battery last
