Then simply follow the installation instructions to install MetaTrader as if you were installing it on a PC. Alternatively, you can download a custom version from a forex trading broker such as Milton Prime, XM, FXTM, Hugosway or Fortrade.
Here’s how to install MetaTrader on a Mac using Windows. In Parallels, you can run either the standard Windows version of MetaTrader or a custom version of MT4 that you’ve downloaded from a forex broker platform. Parallels can also install Windows on M1 Macs although note that it can only install the ARM version of Windows which is compatible the MetaTrader 4. Parallels not only allows you to run MT4 in Windows using Monterey and Big Sur but also works on M1 Macs based on Apple Silicon so you can run MT4 on M1 Macs with Parallels. Parallels also allows you to run 32 bit apps like MetaTrader within Windows on macOS. Parallels allows you to run Windows and macOS simultaneously so that you can easily switch between the two operating systems at any time. Parallels is the easiest way to install Windows on a Mac and it’s also regularly updated to work with each release of macOS. There are various ways of running Windows on a Mac but we strongly recommend using Parallels to install MT4. The only way to download and install the native Windows version of MT4 or MT5 on a Mac is to first install Windows on your Mac and then install the Windows version of MetaTrader. There are however better ways to run MT4 on a Mac and here we show you the best ways to get MT4 on a Mac that work on Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina and Apple Silicon M1 Macs.
This is because the emulated PlayOnMac version of MT4 does not support 64 bit operating systems like Monterey, Big Sur or the M1 ARM chip. The PlayOnMac version of MT4 also does not work on macOS Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina or M1 Macs. However, we strongly do not recommend this method because the installation process is long and complicated. If you’re running macOS Mojave or earlier you’ll need to install the PlayOnMac emulator to install the Windows version of MT4 on a Mac.
This is because MetaTrader is a 32 bit application and the latest versions of macOS Monterey and Big Sur do not support 32 bit apps anymore.Ī fully native version of MT4 for Mac is not available but you can install it on a Mac thanks to emulation software. Install MT4 on Mac via a Broker (Mojave and earlier)įirstly, although we still think Macs are great for trading it’s important to be aware from the start that running MT4 and MT5 on a Mac has become increasingly complicated due to changes made by Apple in the latest versions of macOS. 10241) then your account is indeed on the new server. and your account number has only 5 digits in the account number (e.g. then regardless of when it was created, you do not have to do anything different than before.
