Good morning, hope you're doing well.
Quick question — how can I open multiple MT5 instances on a Mac?
Here's the issue: on Windows, there's a "destination selection" option that lets me rename the installation folder, so I can have multiple MT5 copies with custom names like "MT5 Clear," "MT5 XP," "MT5 Rico," "MT5 XM," "MT5 RoboForex," "MT5 InteractiveBrokers," "MT5 AMP," and so on. On Mac, I can't edit that. I can install multiple copies, but they end up with numbered suffixes — and I can't change those either.
The real problem is: when I open "MT5 1" and then try to open "MT5 2," the second one closes the first. Then if I try to reopen the first one, it closes the second. I can't keep both open at the same time the way I easily can on Windows.
Is there any solution on Mac to open multiple MT5 instances and rename each one?
Or would it be better to just install Windows on a VirtualBox just for this purpose? (Not an option to format the Mac and switch to Windows, though.)
(I sent a few screenshots to help explain the situation better.)
