How does MT4 work on Mac?

There are a couple of different ways to get MT4 on Mac. You can now download MT4 directly, in the same way as you would on Windows. Alternatively, you can use a virtual private server (VPS). A virtual private server is a service which hosts an instance of the MT4 platform at a remote location.

MT4 VPS for Mac explained

You access a VPS by signing in with your login credentials once you have requested access from a VPS provider – such as IG. Our VPS is hosted by Beeks in London, and it offers fast execution and reliable platform uptime for traders who want to reduce the lag time between their order being placed, and their order being executed.

An MT4 VPS can also give you peace of mind that technical issues such as a slow internet connection or power cuts will affect your trading experience.

Another way that you can access MT4 on a Mac is through a web-based MT4 platform. This is an instance of MT4 which runs in a browser, rather than requiring a download as is the case with the standard MT4 platform.

How to use MT4 on Mac

If you use MT4 on a Mac, the experience is very similar to using a Windows device. You can place orders and close your positions from your Mac through MT4 or the VPS service.

MT4 is also known for its automated trading functionality, and programs such as Expert Advisors and Autochartist make this possible. With IG, you get access to some of the most popular Expert Advisors for free, as well as full access to the Autochartist package.

Wyckoff Method: Rules, Accumulation, and Distribution - Investopedia

Legendary technician Richard Wyckoff wrote about financial markets in the early decades of the 20th century at the same time as did Charles Dow, Jesse Livermore, and other iconic market analysis figures. His pioneering approach to technical analysis known as the Wyckoff Method has survived into the modern era. It continues to guide traders and investors in the best ways to pick winning stocks, the most advantageous times to buy them, and the most effective risk management techniques to use. Wyckoff's observations on price action coalesced into what's known as the Wyckoff market cycle. It's a theory that outlines key elements in price trend development that are marked by periods of accumulation and distribution. Four distinct phases comprise the cycle: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown. Wykoff also defined rules to use in conjunction with these phases. These rules can further help to identify the location and significance of price within the broad s...
