For the last year or so it’s been extremely difficult to install MT4 on Mac since the update to Mac OS Catalina.
Any MT4 terminal that you perviously had doesn’t work anymore? Or you don’t fancy installing the whole Windows 10 OS just for Mac just because you want to run MetaTrader?
I have the perfect solution for you!
Unlike an emulator that requires a full copy of the Window OS, CrossOver translates the commands your Windows application wants to use to the macOS and back.
This translation system means you don’t need to spend hours setting up Windows OS first, you can just install your Windows application directly into CrossOver and run it.
