Discussion of article "MetaTrader 5 on macOS" - page 4

 
Good evening, ask to the company Metaquotes software corp. to provide to create a native metatrader application for mac os systems possessors, thanks.
 
That happened to me too. Has anyone found a solution to this???????
 

I managed to install Meta Trader 5 after much struggle kkkkk. Here's how:

1- Download play on mac, the latest version

2- during the installation of PlayonMac it will ask you if you have installed or want Xquartz to be installed. The solution is to go to the Xquartz website and install it yourself, then click that you've already installed it. Then run the programme and you're done.

3- Play on Mac and Xquartz installed, now it's time to install Wine. There are two ways to install it (I recommend the "a" way):

a) With Play on Mac open, go to the top corner of your Mac computer (where there's an Apple, Play on Mac, File...) and click on Settings or Tools, I can't remember exactly. You'll have the option "Manage Wine..." something like that. Click it!!! A window will open with all the Wine versions, select the one at the top (the one available now is 3.17), select the version click on the left arrow and wait for it to install.

b) Go to the Wine website and install the latest version.

4- Once Wine is installed, go to the Meta Trade website and download the programme. It will appear to run directly on the play on mac, run it and it will appear that there was an error in wine on windows 7. Cancel the run and keep Play on Mac open, in the Play window there is "Configuration" (or a gear), click. Select MT5 and "General" will appear, go to Wine versions and select the version you have installed. To solve the Windows 7 problem, go to Wine, still in configuration, click on "Configure Wine" and the wine settings will appear, under "Applications" in the bottom corner there is "Windows XP", SELECT WINDOWS 10.

5- Enjoy a free day-trade and become a millionaire or lose all your money.

 

Hello Metaquotes,

Apple products have become very popular.

It took a lot of work, but I finally did it.

You see, Daniel also had a hard time and helped me get started.

To summarise:

1. I also suggest installing Xquartz first (straight from here: https://www.xquartz.org), before thinking about installing PlayOnMac (POM);

2. After downloading POM (https://www.playonmac.com/en/), hold down the Mac's "control" key while double-clicking on the POM icon, and follow the installation steps.

I confess that I didn't even get alerts as the tutorial advanced, in the end Metatrader 5 itself opened by itself and was fine.

Notes:

Why press "control" when you double-click on POM? Because then you deactivate the system's firewall and antivirus for this installation only, and then it's back to normal. I managed to do this after reading the Mac help recommendations. Detail: mine is a brand new MacBook Pro with macOS Mojave 10.14.4.

So I can keep MT5 active on my PC (Windows), iPhone X and iPad Pro computers, as well as my Mac Pro. More field of observation on trading assets.

I've logged in to my XP account and now hope that you and I make a lot of money on B3 trades.

The rule is to win more than you lose. Happiness and good luck!

I installed the 32-bit version normally, it connects to the broker and everything is fine, but the 32-bit version doesn't have the local network farm to carry out strategy tests, so I installed the 64-bit version, it opens, but it doesn't connect to the broker and it doesn't even find my other pc with mt5, it seems that the MT5 x64 network doesn't work on playonmac, does anyone know how to solve this?

 

Hello, I managed to install and log in to my brokerage account, but how do I install .ex5 files to install a robot for example? When I click on the file it doesn't open directly in MT5 like in windows, it just says that there is no app capable of opening the file...

Thank you.

 

Hi Guys, I got some Problems with the Play on Mac Installation. Depends on 32bit and 64bit virtual Drive creation. Got always the Message that Metatrader doesnt works on 32bit.

Now i found a Broker "Admiral Markets" who offers a stable Version of MetaTrader 5 working on OSX. Its just 32bit in a Wine Bottle, but Works 10.12.6 for me.

You are welcome to speak German here.

These Mac users are very vain when it comes to hardware.

They sometimes spend €2-3k over the counter and then there's not even €250 left over to add a very fast and modern NUC with WinPro.

Nuc to the LAN and direct the box to the Mac with RDP. Everything is super fast.

I've always wanted to get rid of that :-)

 
what is a NUC @Christian? I mostly work with the iPad via RDP on the VPS, or partly Mac and partly PC
