Hello Team Sierra Chart, I hope all is well with everyone! I’m currently running Sierra Chart on a Parallels virtual machine on my Mac, and it has been great so far. However, it would be absolutely amazing if Sierra Chart could run natively on an Apple platform. There are so many Mac users who would love to have this capability! Thank you for considering this, and I appreciate all the hard work your team puts into the platform. |

+1 Many mac users are waiting for the native macOS support. And the other hand Sierra Chart should be cloud based in the future... Cheers! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-12-21 20:11:43

-1 Owner of an iMac and a MacBookPro, I am actually hope Sierra will never develop a Mac version, just to save the limited man power for projects are way more important. |

I just got a Mac M4 Mini with the intention of providing custom studies on Apple ARM CPUs. Using VMWare Fusion, I installed the ARM version of Windows 11. SierraChart_64.exe runs on the Apple ARM silicon. The x86 DLLs ran too. Windows 11 ARM emulates x32 and x64 code. No benchmark data yet. I am open to suggestions. When I ran SierraChart_ARM64.exe, all the built-in studies were there, and my custom study DLLs were not able to load, as expected. I am in the process of developing ARM DLLs with Visual Studio.

Hi there ForgivingComputers, any comment on performance of M4 Mini with SC under VMware Fusion? I run SC on a Win11 ARM VM hosted on a M1 Pro MacBook. I'm looking to get a desktop and trying to decide between Mini M4/Mini M4 Pro with VM or a Windows Mini box. Any comments on performance/bang for back with M4 Mini? Would be interested in hardware config you have too. |

Hi there ForgivingComputers, any comment on performance of M4 Mini with SC under VMware Fusion?
I haven't done much with the Mac 4 Mini since I got it. I would be happy to run some comparisons with standard studies, charts, and spreadsheets. Something that will move the needle on any system. I haven't had time to create any tests for myself, but if you have something you want me to try, I am open to testing the ARM version of Sierra Chart as well as the x64 version through Windows' emulation layer. I would hesitate to get any Windows Mini Box without knowing what its processor can do. The M4 is a screamer as far as ARM chips go, and the mini windows boxes are often more like Celerons. However, there are different price points, and I haven't researched the market for them. Since you are concerned about performance, I would recommend you don't get the base Mac M4 Mini with 16GB, as you have to share that with Windows. For me that is not an issue, as I only use it for development. For many traders it would also not be an issue. |
