MT4 for Mac: User Guide

The installation, usage, and Expert Advisor features, as well as the uninstallation process of the MetaTrader 4 on MAC is simple.

Installation
To install MT4 for MAC, find the installer you have downloaded earlier, the “Eightplus MT4.dmg”. Likely it can be located in your “Downloads” folder. Launch the installer and drag the “Eightplus” icon to “Applications” to install our MT4 app on your MAC.

Launch from Applications, Launchpad or via Spotlight by typing “Eightplus”. Once the app launches, feel free to move it around in the Dock so it sticks, after being closed, and you will be able to launch it from there.

Tip: Your MAC should download apps from “Everywhere”, even though this is not the default option. Most users usually opt in for it so maybe it is already set for you.

In case you will have problems during the installation process go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab -> select “Anywhere” in “Allow apps download from” setting.To install MT4 for MAC, find the installer you have downloaded earlier, the “Eightplus MT4.dmg”.

Usage
Below are a few clarifications on the usability of the MT4 platform for MACs. The functionality is practically similar to the Windows version with some minor differences that you should keep in mind.

Hotkeys
The CMD button function is triggered by the CTRL button when you are using MT4 for MAC.

Automatic updates
The software updates automatically similarly to the way its Windows counterpart does. When in updates, the terminal shuts down without notification. Just open the app again and continue trading with the updated version of the terminal.

To check your terminal’s current version go to Help -> About.

Using Expert Advisors on your MT4 MAC

It is possible to install Expert Advisors (EAs), indicators and scripts with Eightplus for MAC.

To do so, you have to access file structure of the MetaTrader 4. Go to Applications, right click on the Eightplus terminal and click “Show Package Contents”.

Once you’re in, navigate further to “/drive_c/Program Files/Eightplus MetaTrader 4 Terminal/MQL4/”. Then go to the folder of interest, for example, /Indicators or /Experts to install your customer indicator or Expert Advisor.

Once you have placed the needed files in the necessary folder (as per the instructions of the respective indicator / EA / script), open (or restart) MetaTrader 4 on your MAC and you should now see your new EA installed.

Uninstallation
To uninstall MetaTrader 4 for MAC, just follow the same steps as you would do so with any other MAC application. Spot your app in the Applications folder, right-click on it and click “Move to Trash”. Alternatively, you can drag and drop it on your Dock Trash bin.
