Do anyone of you guys have an m1 MacBook and tried to run NinjaTrader on it by using Parallels or VMware and it worked well ?

Hello AbdoTrader,

Thank you for your post.

I will leave this post open for the community to respond. Since Mac is technically unsupported, our staff wouldn't have any insight into how well it works with the Mac M1 chip but I'm sure someone in our forum community may have some insight to offer.

Keep in mind that if you want to install NinjaTrader on a Mac via Parallels or VMWare, there are configuration steps that must be taken to ensure that it is properly installed.

We have specific installation instructions for Parallels and VMWare Fusion, allowing 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 Parallels and VMWare.
