Raspberry pi - Problems Installing MetaTrader5 on Raspberry pi

[130105658 Ryno]

Hi I have tried to download MetaTrader5 to a Raspberry Pi, I am currently testing out some automation software that I want to run on the Raspberry Pi, But found it tough to download to the Pi. 

I tried pip apt-install MetaTrader5 but haven't had any luck, It seems like the file can not be located from the pip3 Server.

If you have some advice I would appreciate it so much

Wouldn't that be really slow? I guess getting a cheap VPS is a better option? Or is it just for testing?

I think so

It's not possible. Raspberry Pi is ARM architecture and MetaTrader is a x86 platform only.

The only way to run x86 code in a ARM is by using qemu, but in that case it will be unusably slow.

Only for some low level testing. don't expect it to run a Trading robot. just want to do some data logging

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to run the user interface from the Raspberry pi, I don't think that it will be able to handle the graphic processing all that great. 

it is a headless install of Dabian, and I would mainly just use it to extract data and build log data in csv format.

Well, I spent the last few days messing around this (about 30 hours or so).

This can be done by simply installing https://github.com/Botspot/bvm There's an installation method within Pi Apps too.

After that, follow the steps to install Windows 11 (it's all free) and then open up Microsoft Edge and download MetaTrader 5!

I spent so many hours messing around with exagear, FEX, arm64ec, and many many more libraries.

BVM is the only solution that has worked (as of July 21st, 2025).
