M1
- Thread starter jmflukeiii
- Start date
Hello dear, I am new to trading but using heavy studies and already compared M1 to old MBP and did find some improvement. But Replay mode is same - due to the way these studies are developed. Your effort should be appreciated by the Mac community. I could save time next year to try your work. Huge memory savings should translate to better user experience somehow.
Thanks for providing these! I gave it a shot and my motivewave wouldn't startup -- might be that these aren't compatible with all versions. (I'm on latest MW with Monteray.) Thankfully just need to edit the settings ini file to swap back and be able to open again. Heads up for others -- your mileage may vary. (file is in your Users/<username>/Library/Motivewave folder.)
it depends if you run manually the file /Applications/MotiveWave.app/Contents/MacOS/run.sh what error it gives? I backup the original file and edited with
but before I set my java stuff in a different directory
I'm on the latest of MW and Monterey 12.1
But one thing it never works is Rithmic because the library is 32 bit (i.e libRithmic.jnilib)
Have been using this for 2 months without any issue, basically set java to the macos-arm (both javafx and java)and modify a few line in run.sh
The parameter in NW I ignore it as I force it with java switch

I haven't yet tested during trading hours (I use IB) but it would be great if you could document how you measured RAM consumption ?
with top ? ps -ef | grep java ?
big thanks...
