    Though I am not familiar with MetaTrader 4, I do know it would require a virtualization

    application to run Windows in a Mac, (such as Virtual PC for Mac) & a copy of Windows

    appropriate for both the correct version of PC virtualization, and both versions of the

    Virtual PC (or equivalent) and Windows that could run in the computer you have...

     

    Within the hardware limitations, and the system limitations of co-sharing the virtual PC

    software, windows, and MetaTrader4 together.

     

    From what I've read, most users have a later model Intel-based Mac computer, with at

    least a core2duo cpu, and 4GB+ RAM or more, so the virtual system and OS X can both

    work; plus a additional resources for the application to run on top of this.

     

    I'd tend to believe you will not have a good day or any kind of fair results running the

    MetaTrader4 application on a Mac capable of running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, as it

    would be slow. And you will have to buy a copy of Virtual PC for Mac that could run

    under Tiger OS X 10.4.11, and a version of Windows that can run with both the above.

     

    Here is a discussion forum link from a MetaTrader thread; appears the Intel-based Mac

    with extra RAM, virtual PC software, with Windows installed too, running on Tiger 10.4.11

    could be a low-end marginal access point to use the MetaTrader, made for Windows PC.

     

    This discussion is from 2007 to 2008, and so the results even if the software were to function

    may vary now from what they found then, not just on the Mac side, but on the Windows PC

    side of all this. http://www.metatrader4.com/forum/3228

     

    Another discussion about virtual PC and metatrader4

    http://www.metatrader4.com/forum/395

     

    Some show they ran windows XP, some with Parallels in a Core2Duo Intel-Mac, some

    used BootCamp to set up the partition in the Mac HDD so windows could be installed;

    so that is another world from an older iBook G4 (PowerPC-Mac) that has a single core

    PPC processor & limited hardware, a marginal situation for Mac OS X by itself, at times.

     

    I cannot recommend running MetaTrader4 on an iBook G4 under Tiger 10.4.11, with

    Virtual PC for Mac, so a Windows OS can be used. I doubt the configuration can do it.

     

    However I am not an expert in this matter, but I do have several older PPC pre-intel Macs

    and know they have/had limitations, especially when one hopes to run Windows on them

    via a Virtualization setup. IT would be super SLOW!

     

    If you had an Intel-based Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8 & enough RAM, etc there is

    this retail product: http://www.xm.com/metatrader-mac that I just read about...

     

    Good luck in this matter...!
