Trading on a Mac is something my customers are wanting and asking to do more and more these days. Mac computers have become popular since the birth of the iPhone in 2007 and I personally love them. But I have to ask “Do they have a place in the trading world?” and if so “What is the best way to run Windows on a Mac?”.

Common questions among new traders are “What is the difference between a pip and a point?” or “What is the difference between a point and a tick?” and so on. I will outline here what the differences are between all three, so you can get up to speed with understanding this often confusing element of trading the markets.

I spent the last three days on a quest to find out who are the greatest traders on earth. I have manually researched over 80 different traders, I spent hours flicking through the internet on sites like Wikipedia, Bloomberg and Forbes. Here is my definitive list of the top 10 best traders in the world.
