Impossible to download automatic equity manager for Mac and Linux

 

Hi all,

It seems it's not possible to download an application for Mac, is that correct ?

When I click on download, then I click on open MT4" and nothing happens...

Is it possile to install an extension for MT4 from this site in an other way which is working ?

Thanks a lot !

 

  • If you are trying to download something from the forum (for example - from this thread Automatic Equity Manager) so you can;
  • if you are downloding from CodeBase so you can do it too;
  • if you are going to download something from the Market so the Market does not work for Mac.

New MetaTrader 5 Platform Build 1755

MetaQuotes Software Corp., 2018.01.18 11:08

We recommend anyone who has long been using 32-bit Wine for MetaTrader 5 due to the past incompatibility with the 64-bit terminal to upgrade Wine to the latest 64-bit version and re-install MetaTrader 5 in 64 bits.

Besides, make sure to set the Wine compatibility mode to at least Windows 7 instead of the default Windows XP. No more updates for Windows XP/2003/Vista will be released.

We are also halting the development of the 32-bit versions of the MetaTrader 5 terminals. The updates for 32-bit MetaTrader 5 are to be completely stopped soon.

Your wine is still in windows XP mode.

You need to go into settings and set it to windows 7 or higher.

 
It works ! Thanks a lot !!!!

Metatrader 4/5 MACOS ????

Renat Fatkhullin , 2021.01.14 14:04

Thank you, and happy holidays too.

Yes, the MacBook came. MT4 for iPad, MT5 for iPad work perfectly from AppStore on M1. We'll be making a number of cosmetic tweaks for better screen size compatibility.

The problems with launching the Destop MT4 / MT5 on M1 were due to the protection system. It seems to have been fixed, today we will test and release the MetaTrader 5 update for MacOS .

We are making a new web terminal for MT5 on a new engine, in it we will think about how to attach personal SSL certificates.


Update: M1 desktop hasn't taken off yet.

Terminal weeds in Linux

Renat Fatkhullin , 2021.02.14 10:08

The terminal knows about the wine and obviously adjusts to it.

Previously, on older versions before Wine 5, we had to disable some of the functionality such as displaying the market and signals. With the growth of the wine's capabilities, we removed the restrictions.

At the moment, we recommend the minimum version of Wine 5.0, or better 6, and even the development branch. The target Windows version in it must be 10, not 7.

We know about the remaining errors in the Wine and will make workarounds. They are from the difference in the WinAPI implementation in Wine.

VPS, linux and MT5.

I decided to check how MT5 works in Linux Mint 19.3

the installation of the terminal went like a normal installation without any problems - after that, the terminal was updated as usual, everything works fine!

Installing the platform with one command

This article was completely revised about installing MetaTrader on Linux (Ubuntu and Debian). Now all we need is one command.

Develop a Proof-of-Concept DLL with C++ multi-threading support for MetaTrader 5 on Linux

Linux has a vibrant development ecosystem and a good ergonomic for software development.
Normally MetaTrader 5 developers just use MQL5 programming language to develop their indicators/experts or related products then publish on the market to end-users without any concern about which OS to base on.
But when developers need to involve developing a custom solution as a shared library (DLL) to further expand and provide additional services that MQL5 programming language alone cannot offer, then they will have to spend more time and effort in seeking for solution of cross-compilation, discovery of gotchas and best practices, getting familiar with the tools, etc.

Those are the reasons that come into this article.

We will begin the journey to explore the steps and workflow on how to base development for MetaTrader 5 platform solely on Linux system in which the final product works seamlessly on both Windows and Linux system. We will get to know Wine, and Mingw; both are the essential tools to make cross-platform development works. Especially Mingw for its threading implementations (POSIX, and Win32) that we need to consider in choosing which one to go with. We then build a proof-of-concept DLL and consume it in MQL5 code, finally compare the performance of both threading implementations. All for your foundation to expand further on your own. You should be comfortable building MT related tools on Linux after reading this article.
