1. Use Parallels Desktop to Run Windows on Mac

Parallels Desktop is a popular virtualization software that allows you to run Windows applications on your Mac without rebooting. This method is straightforward and integrates well with macOS.

Steps:​

  1. Install Parallels Desktop: Purchase and download Parallels Desktop from the official site.
  2. Install Windows: Once Parallels is installed, set up a Windows virtual machine (VM) by following the prompts. You will need a valid Windows license to complete the installation.
  3. Download MetaTrader: Open the Windows environment within Parallels and download MetaTrader 4 or 5 from your broker’s website.
  4. Install Galileo FX: After MetaTrader is set up, install Galileo FX by following the same steps as you would on a Windows PC (downloading the Galileo FX files and attaching them to MetaTrader).
  5. Activate AutoTrading: Load Galileo FX on your MetaTrader chart, configure the settings, and enable AutoTrading to begin automated trading.

2. Use Boot Camp to Dual-Boot Windows on Mac

Boot Camp is Apple’s built-in utility that allows you to install and run Windows on your Mac in a dual-boot setup. This method requires you to reboot into Windows whenever you want to trade.

Steps:​

  2. Install Windows: Follow the instructions to install Windows. You will need a Windows installation file (ISO) and a valid Windows license.
  3. Switch to Windows: After the installation is complete, you can choose to boot into Windows by restarting your Mac and holding down the Option key during startup.
  4. Download MetaTrader: Once in Windows, download and install MetaTrader from your broker's website.
  5. Install Galileo FX: Download and install Galileo FX in MetaTrader, configure the settings, and enable automated trading.

3. Use Wine or PlayOnMac to Run MetaTrader on Mac

Wine is a free compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows applications on macOS without installing Windows itself. PlayOnMac is a user-friendly version of Wine.

Steps:​

  1. Install PlayOnMac: Download and install PlayOnMac from its official website.
  2. Install MetaTrader: After setting up PlayOnMac, use it to install MetaTrader 4 or 5 by following the prompts.
  3. Install Galileo FX: Once MetaTrader is running, install Galileo FX by downloading the files and attaching them to your MetaTrader instance.
