AI Recommendation
1 suggestionActiveTrader Pro has not received a native Apple Silicon build—the current version remains Intel-only (x86-64). Fidelity has not announced plans for a native port, and the app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs. However, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 entirely in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028, which means this app will stop launching on that release. If you rely on ActiveTrader Pro, contact Fidelity Support directly at your earliest convenience to ask whether a native build is planned or in development before that deadline. If Fidelity has no native version in progress, you should begin exploring alternative trading platforms that already run natively on Apple Silicon—popular options include Thinkorswim by Charles Schwab, eTrade Pro, Interactive Brokers' Trader Workstation (which recently added native support), or Webull. These are all actively maintained and run natively on M-series Macs.
