The second email will contain your login information. This includes your login number, MetaTrader 4 login password, server name, and account currency. You must keep this information close at hand as you will need to enter it later.
How do I download the MT4 platform for MacOS?
There are two ways to download the MT4 platform for MacOS, either via the T4Trade website or through the Client Portal.
Website:
Visit the T4Trade website and select Platforms. Then tap on MetaTrader 4, followed by MacOS. Finally, click on “Download MT4 for MacOS.” You will also find a MacOS guide at the bottom of the page explaining how to download, install and use the MetaTrader 4 platform.
Client Portal:
You can also access the MT4 platform via the Client Portal. Start by clicking on Trading Platform on the left of your dashboard and select either the MT4 Standard or MT4 Advanced for MacOS. Once the platform has finished downloading, open the set-up and install it. Then drag and drop the MT4 icon into the applications folder. The platform should open automatically or there should be a shortcut that appears on your desktop.
How do I open the MetaTrader 4 platform once it has been downloaded?
To open your MT4 account, open File at the top left-hand corner of the screen and then open an account. Then:
- Search for the server’s name that you should have received in the 2nd email confirming your live account was approved.
- If you cannot see the server, rescan the servers and look for the relevant server address.
- If you’re still unable to find it, manually enter the server address and click scan. You will know you are connected to the server when you can see its name.
To finish, select the existing trade account, enter your account number and password, and click finish.
What happens if I’m unable to connect to the relevant server?
If you’re unable to connect for any reason, check your internet connection or your account number and/or password. If the issue persists, you may have the wrong details and will need to reset your MT4 password. In this case, simply log in to your Client Portal, and click the blue reset button next to the MT4 password on your dashboard. You will receive your new credentials by email.
How will I know that I’ve successfully logged in to the MT4 platform?
You should be able to log in if you’ve entered the correct credentials. Your balance should also be displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the terminal. You will know if you’ve successfully logged in if the connection bar at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen is green. If you can’t see it for any reason, do as follows:
- Enable the status bar by heading to the menu bar.
- Then select view, and click on the status bar.
You should now be ready to start trading.
