Timeline for future parity of the Mac version with the Windows version?
05 Sep 2024, 14:54


Hi, is there any expected time line for bringing the mac version up to par with the windows version? I am trying to settle on a trading platform and I would like to avoid using a windows virtual machine on a mac.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

This is not expected to happen anytime soon. While the Mac team is catching up, the Windows team is developing new features. So there will be differences at least for the foreseeable future.

Best regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

thanks for the answer. Might I ask about a few specific features? There is not much that's missing on the Mac version:

  1. History Tab, realised $. This is missing on the Mac, and seems like a pretty easy feature to add.

 

2. Pending orders via drag-out thingie. This is missing on the Mac and super useful in the Windows version

 

3. Flexible Layout. This is also missing on the Mac and makes the interface harder to use because one can not resize

 

Thanks & best wishes,

Stefan

Regarding 1. 🎉🎉🎉

Regarding 2. Any way to influence it? Money, cookies, anything else? :)

Regarding 3. Apparently my media was not uploaded correctly. Here is what I mean. The layout of the mac version is fixed, in windows the layout is flexible.

The forum software does not let me add another animated gif the my answer. Here is a new reply, hopefully it works this time.

This is how it looks under windows which is much better then the fixed layout on the mac.

Nope, does not work. However, I bet you know what I mean. Under windows you are able to have two charts open and make one smaller than the other.

Hi Stefan,

Free chart mode will be added but we do not have an ETA at the moment. It's not included in the next couple of updates.
