I'm currently trading futures with IB and considering the option to use NT8 for charting and but also strategy development and implementation.
but
I have an iMac late 2012 (+2 additional displays)
3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
32GB RAM
HD 3TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
would be ok (good) to run NT8 on a VMware or Parallels for:
charting and backtesting (even more important) with system that I have? (I know Mac is not supported but I guess there is some common knowledge in the forum...I hope).
Backtesting at this stage is the key element for me.
If I understand correctly everything would be run locally not in the cloud isn't?
If not with the iMac. Would a good Windows (TBD) laptop be able to perform the same backtesting?
Many thanks
