With other ways of installing Windows on Mac such as with Wine or VirtualBox, youвЂ™ll have to rely on the support of forum members and fixing problems with MT4 on Macs can be quite complex. We also recommend using Parallels because if you encounter any problems installing MetaTrader this way, youвЂ™ll get a certain amount of direct support from Parallels. Running MetaTrader on Mac this way gives you all the benefits of the Windows version of MetaTrader, including add-ons such as MetaTrader Market.

HereвЂ™s how to install MetaTrader on a Mac using Windows. In Parallels, you can run either the standard Windows version of MetaTrader or a custom version of MT4 that youвЂ™ve downloaded from a forex broker platform. Parallels not only allows you to run MT4 in Windows using Big Sur but also works on M1 Macs based on Apple Silicon so you can run MT4 on M1 Macs with Parallels. Parallels also allows you to run 32 bit apps like MetaTrader within Windows on macOS. Parallels allows you to run Windows and macOS simultaneously so that you can easily switch between the two operating systems at any time. Parallels is the easiest way to install Windows on a Mac and itвЂ™s also regularly updated to work with each release of macOS.

There are various ways of running Windows on a Mac but we strongly recommend using Parallels to install MT4. The only way to download and install the native Windows version of MT4 or MT5 on a Mac is to first install Windows on your Mac and then install the Windows version of MetaTrader. There are however better ways to run MT4 on a Mac and here we show you the best ways to get MT4 on a Mac that work on Big Sur, Catalina and M1 Macs.

If youвЂ™ve already upgraded to Big Sur, Catalina or using an M1 Mac then youвЂ™ll need this version of MT4 which uses the Crossover emulator to install the Windows version of MT4 on a Mac. This is because the emulated PlayOnMac version of MT4 does not support 64 bit operating systems like Big Sur and Catalina or the M1 ARM chip. The PlayOnMac version of MT4 also does not work on macOS Catalina, Big Sur or M1 Macs. However, we strongly do not recommend this method because the installation process is long and complicated. If youвЂ™re running macOS Mojave or earlier youвЂ™ll need to install the PlayOnMac emulator to install the Windows version of MT4 on a Mac. Install MT4 on Mac via a Broker (Mojave and earlier)ДЄ fully native version of MT4 for Mac is not available but you can install it on a Mac thanks to emulation software.
