Hello, very simple question: is there Metatrader 4 available in web.
I can not find MT4 for Mac OS, but want to trade through it.

It also would be perfect to trade on a work place.


Did you heard about successful installation any trade platforms on Ipad.

Thanks in advance.:clover:
 
Never thought about it! You can install virtual machine and use MT4 on your Mac. There is such programs as Virtual Box. There is also build in Mac OS tool that helps you to Install Windows as a second OS.

But MT4 on web would be useful!
 
1. Download CrossOver
Download a 30-day trial version of CrossOver from CodeWeavers at
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/download_trial_macosx/
2. Install CrossOver and quartz-wm
At the end of the installation it will request you insert Disk 1 from your Mac OS X install disks which came with your Intel Mac. This is important as a small file (quartz-wm) needs to be extracted from the X11 package. If for whatever reason you don’t see a dialog indicating that this was successfull (happened to me 2x), delete all installed CrossOver files and try again.

3. Create WinXP Bottle in CrossOver
At Configure/Manage Bottles within CrossOver create a new winxp bottle. You can name it anything you want. For here, I’ll refer to it as the winxp bottle. This will create a bottle stored within your user folder (see path below).

4. Copy/Paste MFC DLLs
From within your valid, licensed copy of Windows XP, navigate to the system32 folder and locate the following DLLs: mfc40.dll and mfc42.dll. Copy these to your Mac and then move them to the equivalent WinXP “bottle” within your user folder. The path is username/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/winxp/drive_c/windows/system32/.

5. Copy/Paste wingding Font
To properly show symbols and arrows, locate the wingding.ttf file in your Windows proper installation and copy it to your CrossOver installation in the /windows/fonts/ directory.

6. Install MT4
Download the MT4 installer (e.g. mt4setup.exe) from your broker. I tested using FXDD’s latest MT4 build 205. Double-click on the .exe and it should take you to CrossOver and begin running the MT4 installer the same as you’re familiar with when running on Windows. Select all of the default options for where MT4 will be installed. At the end, de-select (this is important) the option to auto-launch MT4 after installation is completed. (This doesn’t work.)

7. Launch MT4
From within the CrossOver application, go to the Programs menu and then select the MT4 application (it may be within a sub-menu with a symbolic link to the actual terminal app).
 
Use Virtualbox ose with guest additions installed. Of course you'll need to aquire a copy of Windows (pref XP) from somewhere. Runs great here on a couple of Linux machines.
 
edit - You need to make sure you have the resources for this though as you will be running two OS's at the same time. Just a word of caution.

Cheers and good luck.
 
Hi, But with CrossOver you don't need Windows CD. This is the best way to have MT$ on your Mac.

Cheers and good luck.

Resources isn't such an issue these days - on one laptop I run it on it only has 1MB ram 3G 64bit proc, 192MB allocated to the VM and it runs fine, no lag at all but that's on Linux and with a very stripped version of XP. I know the OP is MAC but just alerting to the possibilities. MT4 supposedly runs under WINE too but I can never be bothered with it.
 
Heh, couple days ago I read somewhere about such solution but I don't remember now. I'll PM you when I find this information again.

That is a good option. You will be able to use your MT4 even on Ipad and other devises.

I don't share your opinion on FXPro, think it's is a good broker, they offer even ECN platform now.
