I am using ,

Trade Idea pro
Interactive Broker TWS
Sierra chart

On Mac M1 , I was able to make them all load and work with minimal issues. Under 6 Monitor - 4 of them with Display link adaptor

But to make it clear, you will need to accept some little hiccup here and there and to do extra step to make it work, but it work.

Some Issues
I was not able to link my Trade Idea to sierra chart , like a quoteboard.
I had some crash , not often BTW
TWS was a little slow ( it was a mac version too )
OPEN GL function does not work on mac
I could not load as many chart as I wanted. ( I max out the CPU and RAM )
Sierra chart could not be load on another Hard drive, it had to be on the main drive ( crossover related issues.)


SO, I return to PC for more support and less headache .
And now I found out the perfect setup for me.

5800x or equivalent
32GB of ram
Video card 1060 and up or equivalent ( newer version only )
M.2 for sierra chart only
and Process Lasso to decide where sierra chart is going to use his resources.

Hope this help.

One last thing, Crossover have a trial version and MAC have a trial period too , Maybe you can try it out yourself and see if its good enough for you.
