Active Trader Pro
Active Trader Pro is Fidelity Investments' desktop trading platform designed for active traders and investors who need advanced charting, real-time market data, and sophisticated order management tools. The application provides features like customizable watchlists, technical analysis indicators, options trading capabilities, and portfolio monitoring. It's primarily used by day traders, swing traders, and serious investors who require more functionality than basic web-based trading interfaces. The platform has historically been Windows-focused and has run on Mac through compatibility layers like Wine and CrossOver, often with performance issues and stability problems.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionActive Trader Pro appears to be discontinued and abandoned on macOS. The Homebrew package is marked as deprecated/discontinued, and search results indicate the app has long struggled with compatibility issues on Mac, running poorly through Wine and Rosetta 2 with frequent crashes and excessive memory usage. While there were mentions of Fidelity potentially building a native Mac version, no concrete native release has materialized. For serious trading on Mac, consider using Fidelity's web-based platform at fidelity.com, which offers many similar features in a browser, or explore native Mac trading platforms like Interactive Brokers' Trader Workstation or TD Ameritrade's thinkorswim, both of which offer native Apple Silicon support and advanced trading tools.
