How to run MetaTrader on Mac

Modified on Wed, 21 Aug at 5:50 PM

Some Mac computers may have issues with installing MetaTrader 4/5.


The reason for this is the MetaTrader platform was initially built for Windows. But we have several options for you to solve this situation:

  • As we are working with MetaTrader, we may first try to use instructions from MetaQuotes – the developer of MetaTrader 4/5. This is the instruction for MetaTrader 4, and this one is for MetaTrader 5.

  • If this instruction doesn't help, you can use Webtrader, which allows you to trade directly from your browser.

  • You can even trade from the very Dashboard on our site. Our Admirals platform offers an intuitive design for your convenience.

  • Alternatively, you can check out our Parallels option (three months of Parallels Pro for free, terms and conditions apply. With your Parallels Pro account, you get support for powerful systems, the ability to run multiple virtual spaces simultaneously, and access to 24/7 support from the premium Parallels team by phone and email.

  • Our clients also have the option of using a Virtual Private Server, or VPS, service, so you can enjoy the powerful trading platform anywhere, at any time, and on any device. It can be used specifically for Mac or in general for trading anywhere, anytime from any device.
    *Conditions apply - please see the VPS page on our website to find the terms and conditions.


Please note the options mentioned above may be unavailable depending on the operational company you are registered with.
