cTrader definitely needs a native OSX version. The web version is far too dodgy for live use and having to run a virtual machine just for cTrader is a pain.

The webtrader lacks many features. I currently have to use TradingView as my charting platform and cTrader web as my trade entry platform.
cTrader web has many issues of its own and more than once have I entered in wrong trade volumes and the cloud scalability does not expand to web. None of my templates, indicators setup, layout set, load when it gets backed up to the "cloud".

This would be fantastic... and not just a wineskin app wrap like MT4 does as it's horrible to use, but a fully native version would be amazing.

I am pretty sure there are many Mac users who keep on using the Web version of cTrader which has less features than the full application. It cannot be that hard to modify an application to run under Mac. I myself play windows games on a Mac and have actually tried with Wineskin to run cTrader but haven't managed to make it work. But i'm pretty sure you can.

cTrader was build on .NET afaik there is no easy way to port this, what the team can do is to port the web version to desktop using electronjs or something

I simply cannot believe that the volume of people who now own Imac computers would not push developers to develop for us. sure we can run this with wine but the experience is no where near as polished as the native operating system. its a shame to spend big money on an imac and then have to wine programs.
Will IMac bring out a 32" or 34" 4k or 5k unit in 2017. If so how good would it be to use this software natively.
imagine how many imac users you would pick up if you had native software.

As .NET Core became OpenSource and now usable on UNIX systems, i think all the job they did on Windows (cAlgo) can be transported to Mac with just a few customisations. Maybe by using Electron or NodeWebkit to bring an HTMLCSS Web App to Desktop App.
I think they know theses possibilities, may be already working on it.
But, SPOTWARE, YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE !

I have looked and really did not want to believe that there is no CT Trader for Mac... Please please do consider it, because now i have to buy another computer just to use for trading... Where i live the internet connection can reset anytime so i use the web one but very cautious of that fact. Heeeeellllp.

Dear Spotware, please create a Mac version of cTrader platform.
You've created an IOS version of cTrader. How about MacOS?
Hopefully we can see a Mac version of cTrader soon.

Well, I suppose, cTrader and cAlgo is build with C++ and .NET. To port both apps for MacOS it will take at least 3000 developing hours. It would be awesome!!!!

Yes please! I've been using cTrader for 3 years and been patiently waiting for a Mac version - Web version just isn't the same, and dual booting for 1 program is just ridiculous (having tried and reverted).
Please create a version for Mac OS x

Have all you guys not heard of Parallels? I run cTrader exclusively under Parallels for MacOS and it works fine, performance is great.
Personally, I would rather see more features added to the .net version of cTrader than have Spotware have to support a whole other codebase.
Who knows, in the future we may be able to run .net desktop apps natively on macOS anyway, now that Microsoft has started embracing Open Source Software more.
EDIT: I'm sure the guys at SW are already aware of it, but one route to do this would be using AvaloniaUI - this would probably mean a more or less complete rewrite tho, so don't hold your breath..

RE:
Expecting Spotware to build an OSx version of the cTRader is like expecting Tesla to build a combustion engine car :)
That would be a project of at least over 10 person/year, so forget it!

we need this
Spotware made a decision to develop cTrader on c#, a proprietary MIcrosoft language and they take extensive use of .net libraries which are again proprietary to the Windows platform. Spotware would need to basically start again to make a cross platform version, which is actually what they should do. The sooner they start the sooner that 10 man years project time will start counting down.

There is free, cross-platform, open source WPF compatible alternative, called AvaloniaUI created in C#:
So maybe there is chance to port WPF cTrader Desktop client to AvaloniaUI. It shouldn't take much effort, since its XAML and C# framework.

Hi.
I use Parallels Desktop 17 on my iMac 24" ( 2021 model ) with Windows 11, and Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro 16" ( 2018 model ). cTrader is somewhat slow on Windows 11. cTrader for macOS would be very nice. cTrader is the most user-friendly platform, and is very needed for Mac's too. I went from MultiCharts to cTrader recently, and have made my indicators complete just now. I would appreciate if this can be confirmed to be made soon. Please let me know.
Best regards,
Johannes Hillestad Baumann

Awesome Trading Platform + Awesome Mac Machine is :heart:
I've always loved cTrader except I always need to use it on web which is not a really good experience in my opinion. I've always loved Mac and it would be amazing to have a native cTrader desktop app. It's slow on Parrallels so I won't really recommend it. I hope developers would build a native cTrader for Mac OS and I'll move all my trading accounts from MT4/MT5 right away! Cheers!

I would love this to happen too! cTrader is indeed slower running through a VM (Parallels). I have been using the web version, but it’s things like slower chart loading (also when switching between timeframes) that is almost instant in the desktop version of cTrader and very very slow on the web version!
Also the feature set is not identical between desktop and web application.

I am running MS Winders 11 on Parallels. Works just like a Winders box - clunky, outdated and awkward. A perfect simulation...cTrader is the best; if spotware developed it for Mac OSX, it would surely improve their product.

Still a lot of things to do but getting better...
I'm using FIX protocol, and sometimes some symbols don't get subscribed (EURUSD, EURGBP, EURAUD...). Also, I'm using some external services for the historical data (FIX implementation doesn't support historical data) and it's a nightmare because I can only send a few queries per minute.

CAlgo on mac m1 architecture please.
Please at least made a mac supported version with wine/crossover like mql4/5, sure performance will suffice but still better than nothing. Especially if you want to grow your user base and compete with mql4/5.
I'm currently use Ctrader automate feature via Parellels. It's workable but cannot say it the best or most enjoyable experience, for example I cannot run the bot build with.net6, I have to build with .net4 to be able to run the bot. Wishfully to have a native version of CTrader/CAlgo in mac with apple silicon architecture.
Thanks.
