Tools Indicators How to install & launch MacOS

How to install and launch Purple indicators on OS X (Mac) devices

As a part of a Purple Toolbox a set of exclusive tools suitable for tackling down the technical analysis, Purple indicators are chosen by increasing the number of our clients.  If you want to know why you now have the opportunity to try them for free both on our demo and live accounts. This tutorial will show you how.

But before we start, we have to mention that traders using MacOS face a little more complicated situation as the developers of the MetaTrader platform do not offer an official version of MT4 for OS X. Therefore, OS X traders have two options, thanks to which you can put Purple Indicators into operation in such operating systems.
 

New macOS Catalina does not support 32-bit applications, so this OS does not even support the installation of MetaTrader.

1) Registration

In case you have not registered with Purple Trading yet, you can do so now either by clicking HERE for opening a live account or HERE for a demo account. In both cases, the registration is for free.
 

2)    Download the platform

If you’re already registered, but you have not downloaded and installed the MT4 platform from Purple Trading yet, use the following link for download here


3) Login into MT4

After the platform is launched, you’ll be requested (see the image below) to enter login data.

Fields:        Login – enter login, received by e-mail
                    Password – fill the password you selected during registration
                    Server – select server, stated in the same e-mail as login

11)    Find the correct folder - Indicators

Afterwards, you can find the indicator in the Navigator window.
