Trading software for Mac

[Doctor Leo]

Anyone can advise a software either OS X native or cross-platform like Java? I'm looking for a charting application capable of displaying custom indicators (with a built-in programming language or with an SDK) and basic drawing tools like trendlines, supp/res lines, etc. Also could anyone recommend a reliable datafeed for Mac OS X platform? I need just forex, preferably not much noisy. Thanks everybody.

ProReal time and InvestorRT is about it for Mac.
http://forex.com/ and others do Java but the flashing can drive you mad after a while.
Hey I'm a Mac afficionado but you can buy a Dell + monitor for trading for £299 that works fine.
I use both cos I love the Mac cinema displays....

Thanks for the hint, Rols, indeed I've already been looking to InvestorRT, I love this software but still I don't have an idea of how to supply a data feed into it. Presently I'm using charts by IT_Finance (AFAIK it's similar to ProRealtime) but it has somewhat limited capabilities for drawing and no capability of building custom indicators. Does PreRealtime's full package offer it?
As to a Dell or any other pee-see - well I have sort of idiosyncrasy to them still after having worked on that platform for more than 10 years...

You could try using virtual PC on Mac and then load any PC based system that you wanted.
