Hello,
Thank you for your post.

If you have your chart and other windows saved within your workspace, once you start your NinjaTrader platform, all those windows will be visible as well.
You can create a new workspace, by going to Control Center>Workspaces>New and don't add any windows to it. Then close the NinjaTrader platform, saving your workspaces.
When starting the platform again, that new workspace will be in use, so only your Control Center window will be visible.
Then you can switch to your other workspace, selecting it under Control Center>Workspaces.

Please follow this page for more detail: Control Center - Workspaces Menu

With this approach when I open -it only open the Control Center. But I want to open three things.

- Control center
- Charts with Chart Trader
- Apex Trade Copier (Control Center -> New -> Apex Copier -> Apex Trade Copier)

Hello,
Thank you for the note.

Please make sure to keep your chart windows (and other windows) open before saving a workspace.
Then go to Control Center>Workspaces and you will see a workspace with the Green Icon next to it, that is the active (currently viewing) workspace. You can hover over the workspace you would like to save and click Save.

I am doing exactly same, is it possible to show through remote Support ? I am using Ninja on Mac Book Pro M2 Chip with Parallel software.

Is there any plan to provide Native Macbook Pro Version for NT8 ?

It sounds like it's re-opening some default workspace. You need to make a new, empty workspace using control center, close all of the other workspaces, and then set it up the way you want it. When you then exit NinjaTrader, it will re-open only this one workspace with your windows the way you want them to be.

I do not speak for NinjaTrader, but I would advise you that in my opinion, the chance of there being a native version of NinjaTrader Desktop for MacOS is vanishingly small because NinjaTrader Desktop has extensive dependencies on things like DirectX and many 3rd party components, and even if the core product were ported, every one of those dependencies would have to be ported also or an equivalent found, and that's not to even get started on all of the broker and data feed connections. This is a Windows product that's been iteratively developed on Windows over a two decade period. It's not going to just hop to another operating system very easily. It does, however, run in Parallels through the emulated Windows environment, as you know.
