is NT 7 compatible with new MacBook w/ M1 Max chip?

[TraderJoeNY]

Brand New NT user with a new Apple MacBook Pro with the new M1 Max chip. I Dl'd Parallels. I see you don't support Windows 11, which led me to ask "does NT7 run on the new MacBook w/ M1 Max chip?"

I ask this because another windows only system is not compatible with the new MacBook w/ M1 Max chip (runs slow and hot). Any NT7 users using Apple's new beast of a laptop?

Hello TraderJoeNY,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You would need to use a Windows virtualization software to run NinjaTrader on a Mac. NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 are Windows applications which rely on the .NET Framework to operate and the .NET Framework is only available on Windows Operating System and DOES NOT run on the Mac Operating System.

While we do not officially support running NinjaTrader on a Mac; we have had many clients run NinjaTrader on Mac hardware.

We have specific installation instructions for Parallels and VMWare Fusion which will allow you to run NinjaTrader on your Mac. Below you will find instructions specific to the available options of running NinjaTrader on a Mac computer with the virtualization tools. Please note that Windows is sold separately from BootCamp, Parallels, and VMWare.

When installing NinjaTrader on a Mac using Parallels users will need to ensure that the following steps have been taken prior to the installation of NinjaTrader.

1. Start Parallels and select your virtual machine
2. Press the "Configure" button on the top
3. Under "Options", select "Sharing"
4. Uncheck "Share Mac" under "Share Mac User Folders with Windows"
5. Press "OK" and start the virtual machine

Mac Installation - Configuring NinjaTrader for VMWare Fusion:

When configuring NinjaTrader on a Mac running VMWare, users will need to ensure that the following steps have been taken prior to the installation of NinjaTrader.

2. Press the "Settings" button on the bottom
