Please release Mac or Linux version of NT8

[johnnybegoode]

Win 10 force update is unhackable anymore.

No matter what I do and I had tried EVERY solution online to stop Win 10 updates, it would continue to find ways to take over my machine.
I mean EVERY, don't bother showing me any links.

Please release Mac or Linux version of NT8.

Too much time is spent trying to make Win 10 usable and it would never be for this reason.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

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.

Mac Installation - Configuring NinjaTrader for Parallels

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.

1. Start VMWare and select your virtual machine
2. Press the "Settings" button on the bottom
3. Under "System Settings", select "Sharing"
4. Uncheck "Documents" from the "Mirrored Folders" list
5. Close the "Settings" window and start the virtual machine

Mac Installation - Configuring NinjaTrader for Apple Boot Camp:

When configuring NinjaTrader on a Mac running Apple Boot Camp, there are no special instructions needed.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Win 10 would FORCED UPDATE on VMWare, Boot Camp and Parallels too.

johnnybegoode, it is my understanding your issue pertains to Windows 10 Home. To resolve the issue, you may wish to upgrade to Windows 10 Professional, Enterprise, or Education edition.

I'd tried every **** online EVERY, and it still updates I really mean EVERY **** I could find online.

I used the registry keys and windows 10 professional ... that stopped them

[johnnybegoode]

Tried EVERYTHING, does not work for me. Anymore I just downloaded and installed a program to do just that. Have to keep my fingers cross for now.

I can sympathize with the frustration that automatic Windows updates can bring, however, we always recommend that you keep Windows up to date as these updates are typically meant to resolve vulnerabilities and bugs in the operating system.

I am using NT8 on a MacBook Pro 2018 High Sierra running Parallels 14 and also with Bootcamp in the Windows 10 partition. I much prefer how NT8 works in Parallels and the MacOs integration works fine. The only minimal concern is that it drains the battery much faster. I use Do Not Sleep to avoid NT8 crashing every time I spend several minutes with a MacOs desktop when on battery power.

I sort of understand why you won't support Linux cause of the .net crap. Is it very difficult to do something browser friendly like trading view dot com? I am also considering using a vps type affair such as speedy trading servers that run windows but I remote in on Linux or mac. Alas I am one who refuses to switch from windows 7 to 10.

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

A web-based platform is on our radar, however, I couldn't comment further on when or if this will be available.

[johnnybegoode]

Playback hangs too frequently and I could not test my strategy completely.
I had to end the program using Task Manager during every playback.
I would never know if my strategy would work.
I think .NET is unstable
