Stock- real time charting software?

Hi,
I'm new here, and... achem....a PC user.:eek:
I just bought my wife a Macbook pro, which she likes.
I need to replace my PC and was sold on a 24" I mac, but.. (U knew there had to be a but...) I actively trade stocks. I currently use a Scottrade elite program for my real time transactions. Unfortunately, this is not supported on mac.

I like finviz for nightly scans (which works on mac)but still need real time functionality. (I know they have it, but the price seems a little steep for something I get for free now) and really need only minute charts and tickers to still be able to function.

I may have to stick with a PC, being that most of my computer work is related to stocks (or forums like this ;))
But I want to get into video editing. so between that and the fewer problems with macs, I wanted to switch.

anybody with ideas of apps that may fit my situation?

thanks
 
Running window is what I'm trying to avoid. I guess I don't see the point- If I am running windows, why not get a PC instead of dedicating space on a mac?

Honestly, I'm not that computer savvy. I'm afraid having two systems on my computer would confuse me.
 
Actually, after looking at VMware Fusion, it just may work.:D

It doesn't seem to take up a lot of room, it seems easy- just download it, and it will run my Scottrade as if it is part of the mac. Am I correct that the computer will pick the proper os to run the program or will I need to assign it each time?
 
You wouldn't assign it each time you would install the Scottrade software in the Windows environment.
