Download and install Parallels Desktop on your Mac.
Once installed, set up a new virtual machine and install Windows.
After installing Windows, you can run the Windows version of NinjaTrader and enjoy its full feature set and functionality, right from your Mac.
*Windows license and NinjaTrader license required.
Yes, you can use NinjaTrader on a Mac with Parallels Desktop if you own or purchase the necessary license keys.
If you’ve experienced trouble opening the NinjaTrader app, you are not alone. The NinjaTrader app would not start by default if virtual machine users had enabled the feature, “Mirror Mac and Windows user folders”.
That said, we've reworked how Mac user folders (Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Movies) are presented in Windows to address this issue.
Historically, Mac folders were available in Windows via a network share. For example, the NinjaTrader app would not start when installed from a network location in Windows.
We’ve implemented a new approach using symbolic links in Parallels Desktop 19.4.0.
These symbolic links act like pointers that direct Windows applications to the actual location of your Mac computer’s shared folders while still appearing to be located on the local Windows C drive.
