Running forex platform on parallels any info welcome

I am a forex trader and need information on running windows based forex platform on a MacBook Air

I have been using Wine however this is not that good.

I am thinking Parallels looks better

Please let me know if you have experience running Windows based programs on Parallels

Many thanks

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Windows programs run in Parallels as well as they run in Windows, because they are running in Windows in Parallels. The exception is that resource intensive games will run slower because of the demand on shared ,OSx and Windows, resources. Less resource heavy programs like Office, forex, etc. will run fine.


If you are worried about shared resources you could install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant to run Windows natively. This method will allow Windows or OSx to independently use all your computer's resources rather than sharing them as with Parallels.
