sorry all, the below solution doesn't work as there is no MT4 or MT5 on Mac Crossover:
https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover/download
So it doesn't work.
Best option is to go with Parallels. Keep in mind that also in Parallels that current version of Parallels doesn't support MT4 anymore - it only support old version of MT5 (not current version of MT5).
Its not possible in MAC. I would suggest use parallels to simulate windows environment or just get a medium spec PC.
I agree 100%. Parallels Desktop is currently by far the best solution to run native Windows applications on a MAC.
Yes, it costs money, but that's nothing compared to an instable or non-working trading environment that may cost a lot more due to malfunctions.
If you have the money for a MAC, and the money for trading, you should be able to spend some money on appropriate software solutions.
If not, better quit trading sooner than later.

update: the latest version of Parallels does accept one version of MT4: from tradersway (version 4.0 Build 1402).
You can start as many as you want using a different wineprefix
Just create empty folders where ever you want. Mine are /Users/cip/Desktop/Multi-mt5/1, /Users/cip/Desktop/Multi-mt5/2, /Users/cip/Desktop/Multi-mt5/3 etc. Set that on the WINEPREFIX and run the entire line in a terminal.
Vous pouvez en démarrer autant que vous le souhaitez en utilisant un préfixe wine différent
Créez simplement des dossiers vidéos où vous le souhaitez. Les miens sont /Users/cip/Desktop/Multi-mt5/1, /Users/cip/Desktop/Multi-mt5/2, /Users/cip/Desktop/Multi-mt5/3 etc. Définissez-le sur WINEPREFIX et exécutez la ligne entière dans un terminal.
This interests me a lot, not against a simple user so I don't understand what you just wrote!!
Set it to WINEPREFIX--> ie?
run the entire line in a terminal. --> How do I know the entire line to put in the terminal?
sorry but I'm not a Mac pro, just a simple user.
thank you for your return :) :)

It works like a charm. Tks
If you have a M1 or newer mac with Sonoma, the best way to use Win apps in 2024 is https://getwhisky.app, you can create multiple installations and run them in parallel. It's much easier and works better than crossover/parallels/etc
Thank you! This worked nicely

Really? I tried your suggestion and received an error message immediately after the first terminal started.
And a quick google search didn't offer any option to upgrade to Wine 8.0
So in terms of simplicity and usable for normal end-users, this is clearly NO option.
