This channel started out to provide a workaround for running Think or Swim on Apple Silicon Macs but I've added other tech videos since then. Some of them relate to Fidelity's Active Trader Pro as I use both platforms for trading. The main reason for the channel is now tech support on Macs but I will also talk about Windows, trading, running shoes, buying and selling Macs and working out in general.

Free TurboTax Premier for Some Fidelity Customers
Переглядів 13421 день тому
Fidelity has been giving away free TurboTax Premier to some customers for many years but they usually release it around mid-January and many buy TurboTax in December to get an early start on it. I'm just keeping an eye on the home page for when it drops.
Fluffy Display Doesn't Work on Sonoma and Sequoia

I recommend Better Display to create virtual displays now. There is a workaround at the Github project but you have to build the project from source code and most people won't have the skills to do that. The video gets chopped at the end but the rest isn't needed.

The install can fail with a display drivers error on Windows and Linux. There are workarounds that some have said that they got working though I wasn't able to get any of them to work. What I did was use an older version of UTM.

Different Montitor Connection Times on Multimonitor Macs
Переглядів 22Місяць тому
If you have a multimonitor setup on your Mac, particularly with mixed monitors, then they may connect to your Mac in differing amounts of time and this can result in it taking a long time to get to your login screen or windows moving to different monitors. So my recommendation is to stick the monitor that connects the fastest to your main monitor.

Fidelity Freezing or Closing Accounts Due To Fraud
I realise this is 2 years old, but it is so infuriating I have to comment. You spend a minute talking about the specs of the laptops, and then just say "The first thing is to create a virtual monitor" and then go up to your menubar and click something. WTF are you clicking?
Is this the Michael Moy from Detroit?
Nope. Sorry.
Mac mini M4 Pro, Sequoia 15.1 (came pre-installed, no upgrades from previous OS). Latest version ATP (downloaded from Fidelity Jan 8) shows blank login page, no username of password controls. Cannot login. Several calls to Fidelity support didn't resolve the issue. All they can offer is their "native" beta which is unstable and lacks lots of functionality, including conditional trades, which makes it obsolete for me. Michael, if you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Buggy as hell. Crashed 3 times within the first hour.
Avoid your Mac sleeping as that will always crash ATP on my Macs. I am currently running ATP on a Windows desktop as I need the better performance.
@@movdqa thanks, any advice would be appreciated, I'm trying to run ATP on a MacBook Pro (M1 Pro), 16 GB, Sequoia 15.0
@@chrissilkwood5439 ATP uses 8 GB of RAM on Apple Silicon. I have 32 GB of RAM on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro and it runs okay along with Think or Swim. But I installed Windows 10 on a 2018 Mac mini i3 with 8 GB of RAM and it runs better on that weak Intel CPU. If you are running a lot of other stuff on your MacBook Pro, then more RAM may help out., The eventual solution will be Active Trader Pro Beta which performs really well but is not yet ready for prime time. I expect it to release in 2026 based on the level of missing features in the current beta. I am considering installing Windows 10 on my 2015 MacBook Pro and running ATP on that while waiting for ATP Beta. The laptop isn't supported by macOS anymore so W10 would at least give me a supported version.
@@movdqa thanks! I will try to get more RAM and sign up for ATP Beta. Really appreciate it!
@@movdqa just realized... I can't upgrade the RAM, so I will sign up for ATP Beta. Thanks again.
You can’t go wrong with the iMac Pro. My advice is to get as much RAM, SSD storage, cores as you can. Get a CTO, BTO if you can possibly can.
Hi, what m version are you running. I cannot get TOS to even download on (just purchased) Mac mini M4 running sequoia 15.1. There isn’t much info on the internet.
I have a video on downloading the kit. It's more complicated than it was before Schwab took it over. Title is Downloading Think or Swim from Schwab
Maybe some of this is intentional to guide consumers to buy new products and ditch the old laptops like MackBook Pros from 2019?
I imagine that this problem would be pretty unfriendly to Intel MacBooks. I think that it's just more a bug as I didn't see it in 15.2.
it is one way transfer
Ever heard of a novablast 4&5? Thats evoz in nb but in a budget mode i have both love em🎉
Yup, they're discussed all the time in the running channels that I watch. I think that I search for these and the Superblast but couldn't find them in 4E or 6E.
FYI, the first 20-30 sec has a lot of static over the audio.
I'll redo it tomorrow.
I can't create a virtual display with fluffy display running on Sequoia 15.1.1 - am I the only one or is there a solution?
Fluffy Display was broken with Sonoma. There is a workaround in the Github project but it requires rebuilding the project. I'll have to look at BetterDisplay as a workaround unless I can build FluffyDisplay with the code fix.
I just tested Better Display to create virtual displays and it works without problems.
Thank you for sharing your work. It is helpful. Did you even learn that the Sicilian GOAT 2026 setting are?
thanks and here is the command for the windows & "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" --profile-directory="Default"
THANK YOU!!!!
Something in windows broke? The hell you say!
Thank you! This worked 😊
what version did you download
Whichever version was live yesterday. I assume that it will remain a problem as long as the problem is still in Issues and Discussions in Github.
My account was just blocked with no explanation and not even sure how to get my funds. Told my business would be better suited elsewhere
There are a huge number of scams hitting banks these days and they have to be able to figure out who the victim, perpetrator and potential mule is. See r/Scams for a lot of scary stories.
Hey the same thing just happened to me. Did you get your money back?
Not yet, they said I couldn’t even call back for 16 days. So I can’t even call them till January 2nd. I was also told there will be no further discussion till then.
@@chadmccain8884 the same thing just happened to me on December 11th. Smh
It worked for me!!!!! THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!
Hi I understand I don’t need to do it anymore with native app. But my Mc mini m4 version runs way differently from my windows machine and not in a good way. Charts reload on its own sometimes fonts are off in on demand calendar. Many things are just off . Is this normal for Mac version or am I doing something wrong? It really is worse compared to Windows 😢
Hi I bought Mac mini M4 and downloaded Mac TOS version from Schwab website with no workarounds. It seems to be running weirdly compared to my Windows machine that I’m switching from. Sometimes charts would reload on its own and some fonts would be off. It just seems not optimized. Am I doing something wrong? Using 2 external monitors with it
I think there is an error here now, in the last step when I install Spice tools, it just goes to display output is not active.
I'm doing a new video now that Microsoft has put out the Release Version so no need to download the Preview. It also talks about the TSO performance improvement option that may improve Windows performance.
its a great feature mate, but i cant figure out how to make it full screen? i have a 16 mbp and a 14 mbp and when i connect using my 4k external display its like yours just a window? if i full screen it its just a window inside the full screen?
How to share if we use windows xp sp3 in UTM ?
I don't think that I have the ability to install Windows XP.
At this rate ATP will be fully functional when we are all living on Mars.
video starts @15:00
Interesting
still very early
Yup. I'd ideally like a clone of ATP and that's a long way off.
@ based on the ibkr new desktop experience. It may take a year
Thanks, this really, really helped as I also didn't notice the (Wi-Fi) part of the motherboard model. Cheers.
What if it does not show up
Can you help me figure out why mine keeps getting stuck on the screen that shows at 18:07? The start boot option?
Try hitting a key when it gets there. It happens to me sometimes too. I would recommend going to VMWare as I've migrated off of UTM as VMWare is faster, runs cooler and has better graphics drivers.
It's terrible. Actually a deterioration of the original. If they issue this, they will lose huge numbers of trader customers.
for some reason, i click download drivers at the top, and when i try to select the folder labelled drivers after it asks to install them, however it keeps telling me that "something went wrong"
Did you check Install Spice Tools and Drivers when you went to create the Windows VM?
Hi Michael, do you think the new Mac Mini with the M4 chip and 16 GB of RAM can efficiently run Thinkorswim, Active Trader, and TradingView?
I have never used TradingView so I can't comment on it. I think that it's fine running Think or Swim. If you need to run Active Trader Pro, then it's better on a Windows PC, even one that's a couple of years old. It's moderately easier to have a two computer setup in a fixed location (home or office), but it's a nuisance if you need to travel a lot. If you can only have one system, then Active Trader Pro is usable but get an extra 8 GB of RAM compared to a Windows system. I'm currently running the Active Trader Pro Beta which runs fine on Apple Silicon but it's quite some ways before it has all of the functionality of Active Trader Pro and they have bugs to work out.
@@movdqa Thank you so much for your response; it really helped me understand the differences and pros/cons. For now, I think I can manage with ThinkorSwim, but I’ll definitely keep in mind what you mentioned about Active Trader Pro and the bugs on Apple Silicon.

Hi Michael, i left a comment here about "Bedroom Producers Blog" but my comment has disappeared, it was for audio plugins 🙏
Thanks again for your helpful videos, these are very much appreciated, all the best 🙏
Just awesome, thanks so much ❤🙂🙏
Hi Michael, thanks so much for sharing your solution here, i appreciate all of the time and effort that you've taken to figure out the best ways to use another MBP for a second display, and also the time and effort you've taken to create both of your videos on this subject, it's really helpful, clear and easy to understand instructions you've shared, and it's very much appreciated 😊♥ I have used your preferred method of installing Fluffy Display to MacOS Catalina (early 2013 MBP), this is screen sharing to MacOS High Sierra (Late 2011 MBP - Integrated graphics) and i'm really happy to be able to use the two MBP's in this way, to just drag one screen from MBP Catalina over to the other MBP High Sierra is just awesome, it works really well for what i need. As this is not covered hardly at all in any other video or even on the net in general, i really do appreciate this, thank you so much for your help and all the best 🙏
Much ado about nothing.
It doesn’t let me transfer larger files from the network drive to a flash drive in the Windows 11 side, how I do that?
I've never tried to mount an external drive from the Windows side. If it's ExFat, then you could just transfer it to the macOS side and then move it to the flash drive on macOS. If it's NTFS (and it would be cool if it worked), then there may be an issue in the software.
And it is not syncing with ios app
I don't think that the desktop tool has every sync'd with the iOS app but I don't use the iOS app.
it is too easy to crash
I was able to crash it myself. Report crashed via feedback so that they fix them.
thanks for testing this out, were you able to make it work?
Michael, you're a genius with these things so want to pose a question. I'm running beta on mac but hit a repeative spinning beachball with loading slow and non-existent for Positions, Closed Positions and Watch lists. I've force quit and rebooted but no go. Rep told me with beta, unlike reg ATP, if I delete app and reinstall you lose the layout, which took me quite a while to set up. I figure inside the package there may be files that can be saved and swapped in after reinstall to preserve layout. I know it's new and you probably haven't investigated this but if at a later date you look into a way of saving layout files for reinstall do let us know.
It's the first public beta. It is definitely rough and doesn't have the functionality of ATP and it does have bugs. That's why I think that it will take them at least a year to put out the release version. I am using ATP on my iMac Pro and it's running fine for me. If I need better performance and better responsiveness, then I'd use a Windows system but the iMac Pro is good enough right now.
For some reason when I go through the steps on UTM, and hit the SAVE button, nothing happens. I've tried a couple different ways and am getting nothing. Using file Windows11_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_27718.VHDX. Using UTM v 4.5.4 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.5. I've tried the instructions via UTM site as well, and when I do it that way I'm getting an error "The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted". Banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out. Any further ideas?
Shocking. I figured they would just buy a modern platform like Schwab did rather than resurrecting their archaic trading software.
where can i download spice tools?
It's part of the kit. There's a pulldown to install them when you're running the VM.
I bought an M3MBP and I want to use my IntelImac 5k 2017 as a mirror target monitor but the MBP doesn't see the Imac as a destination screen instead, the Imac sees the MBP as a destination screen (all the options mirror and extend are available) Imac - Ventura 13.7 MBP - Sequoia 15.0.1
Hi, thanks for video. Have you managed to downgrade your watch then? Does battery drain is gone?
I was able to downgrade to fix it but then they released 18.16 which also fixed it.
I have Fenix 7S solar, try to update v18.14, v18.16, even try v19.21 beta, but non of them solve the battery drain issue! Yesterday I made rollback to 17.28 and finally, battery drain is gone.
@@AdamSzellei I just ran a 24 hour test on my Fenix 7 Pro and it used 5% with no activities. I'm on 19.21 beta so I consider the problem resolved for me. I have seen comments on the forums stating, for some people, it's not fixed, in the sense that it's using twice the power or worse. I suspect that they're using a feature that I'm not using or it's model-specific. I would keep an eye out for battery drain reports on the forums or start one yourself.
