Hi,

I have been playing with Wealth Lab Pro for a few months, I like it but I don't have Windows machine. I use Parallels on my MacBook Pro to run it. It works but feels sluggish. So I am thinking of building a new machine.

From my research it seems that Wealth Lab Pro doesn't use much GPU. So I should focus on CPU and memory. I was pricing i9 processor with 64 GB of RAM.

Is there anything else I should look out for?

Finally, I know Fidelity don't let you do 100% automated trades, what's your workflow like?

Thanks in advance

That's correct. I'd only add "If any".

What "might" matter most for automated trading is your ISP's latency time. Not so much the bandwidth speed, but the ping time (i.e., round-trip response time) or real-time quality-of-service (QoS). As an extreme example, high frequency traders are concerned about how much optic fiber distance they are from the NY Stock Exchange because fiber delays of microseconds really hurt in their business.

Yeah I have been running Wealth Lab on Windows VPS but it is pretty laggy when using UI.
I also do some automated trading using MT4 and it seems automated trading runs fine on cheap VPS. But whenever using UI, it is unusable.

I might rent a decent VPS/server once I find profitable strategies but for now I want to use Wealth Lab without getting annoyed with lags (due to low end VOS and latency)

I run WLD on a macbook with Parallels. Seems very fast for me. Where you able to solve the problem?
Why do you think so:
