Mac OS MetaTrader 4 Platform
Since the MetaTrader 4 platform is used on a computer (MAC) developed by Apple Inc., there may be many traders who have additionally obtained software, set it up, and built a “virtual Windows” environment.
XM MT4 Mac version can be used immediately by downloading the dedicated file to your MAC and installing it.
Regarding problems in using Mac OS Caterina
Problems in using MAC OS Caterina are caused by using 32 bits in the MT4 platform app, while 64 bits are displayed and equipped in Katerina.
If you have not updated your MAC OS to Katerina, please use the MT4 platform with your current OS deferred.
- 1. Turn off automatic updates
- How to disable automatic updates: In Mojave, you can change the update method in System Settings> Software Update. For OS before High Sierra, it can be set in the Apple Store settings.
- 2. Notification
- Depending on the situation, we may receive pop-ups and notifications regarding system updates and automatic updates, but please cancel each time and use the MT4 platform with the Mac OS version you are currently using.

Advantages over virtual machines and virtual environments
When trading, the most important point for traders is to consider the currency pairs, commodities and price rates that can be traded, rather than the usability of the trading software.
Since Mac users could only use MetaTrader, which is considered to be one of the most popular platforms, only in the Windows environment, they installed Windows compatible software such as Parallel and installed the MetaTrader 4 app in the simulated environment.
Trading through the emulator to this Windows environment was uncomfortable for beginners as well as professional traders.
