The ‘Retina’ (high definition) display resolution that Apple uses on all it’s hardware, is wasted on TradeStation.In my case I moved 100% to the Google Docs suite of cloud-based applications. The Mac versions are different – in some cases, very different. Don’t underestimate the time you’ve invested in becoming proficient running programs like Word, Excel, etc. Apple-native versions of applications need to be found and functionality re-learned.

There are some technical issues that need to get sorted (e.g. TradingView has been a huge success – but is still not ready to replace TradeStation or NinjaTrader. The leader in this field of cloud-based charting platforms is TradingView, developed by the makers of MultiCharts.
