Can it run on iMac / Mac / Macintosh?

Solution

Yes, however your Apple machine needs to be able to run Windows before our charting/trading applications can work. This is because VXCharts and the accompanying broker applications are Microsoft Windows-based, they cannot run on Apple's Macintosh-based machines.

 

You may have to download the Windows 10 ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 before proceeding.

 

Here are 2 ways we have gathered from around the internet to get your Windows working.

As we primarily work with Windows machines, our support for getting your mac to run Windows is limited. If you still have difficulty getting Windows to work, we can always put you in touch with one of our regular contacts who can assist with such Operating System related procedures.
