Browser-based Mac charting - pls help!

Hi, I have tried for hours to find a charting package that will allow me to plot the simple moving average of the high, low and close. Sure, Metatrader has the facility, but I need it on my Mac at work and it has to be browser/ web-based (no downloads).
I don't mind paying for charts if necessary.
I would be so grateful if anyone had any advice on where to get this...
Thanking you in advance,
Joel

Try Oanda. It has this feature.

Is this mac a PPC or Intel? For Intel ones it's less complicated.

Hi MacFX,

Thank you for your reply. My work computer is a PPC running on 10.3.
I tried Oanda but they only let you apply the SMA to the close, and not the highs and lows. Shame.
I'd love any further advice.

Kind regards,
Joel

I just heard you could have a 3rd party host your MT4 on a Virtual Private Server - 24/7 - perhaps this would work - but I don't know if it can be accessed from a mac then unless through fusion or parallel - someone just sent me an email about it - think its called VPSLAND. Monthly fee $19

??Mac guys - I have a powermac tower G5 with 10.3.9 - I'm thinking of upgrading to a intel Imac or maybe even the mac mini(but afraid it won't be powerful enough) for trading so I can trade on my mac. ANYBODY HAD EXPERIENCE OF TRADING ON THE MAC without problems? I use Mt4 charts for now.

I had to resort to vista HP laptop - so I could run charts. Love to be able to trade from my mac.

This is the reason I got rid of my mac and converted to being a pc user.
Macs are great for all that artsy fartsy stuff but they suck when you need business applications . I have owned macs for around 15 years. 2 years ago I got my first windows based p.c and I love it. (I rarely miss my mac, only when I am editing video and want to look cool and hip) If your business is art, graphics, music or video then get a mac. If your business is any thing else then get a pc. I find the pc to be more versatile of course I have not tried the leopard O.S system yet but I hear you can run windows applications with it. Is that true? This is funny.

Hi Joel,

I worked for a company that used Mac computers, and had the same issue you are having. Try this out...

I do. I'm running MT4 in a MacBook Pro 2GHz Core Duo (Rev A) under VMWare. Since I'm using "spaces" (the 10.5.1 new feature to organize desktop) I have a full screen desktop for win XP. This computer NEVER sleeps and never notice a crash in the MT4 including running an EA FULL TIME.

For manual trades I use a White MacBook 2GHz Core2Duo under the same virtualization program.

Both are plugged in 19" external monitors. Some times I use it with 2 monitors (for news events) some with 1 like the're my desktop computer.

I'm in love with it. I don't use a Regular PC fot a long time. All the apllications are available for me with the intel ones.

If you're looking for a good machine, both iMac and Mini will be perfedt for trading. My media center is a mini in 42" screen. I control it remotely ( no keyboard ou mouse) using the MacBook using the wireless conection.

Don't be afraid to give the step ahead.

Hey, Big!

Maybe you can be back now. There's a lot of fun inside macs not for only funny and pretty things.

The MacOS X 10.4 and the 10.5 have 2 ways to run Win software:

You can use bootcamp. This is a feature that you slit your HD in 2 (the size is your choice) and it can boot in both systems, one each time.

The second is to use Virtualization. The you can choose a lot of software that can do the service without rebooting, like: Parallels, VMWare, CrossOver, etc. There's a (very) small % CPU usage for this software that puts a Full PC inside your fancy Mac.

This softwares can run Vista too. My advice is Win XP Pro.

Hope to see you back in the gang!

Can anyone recommend a good charting application for an I-Mac?
