getting an error on downloading a software for my stock trading but my software is up-to-date. Anyone know why?

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. I am trying to download a stock-trading software, who says as long as I have the updated OS I should be fine. However, when I try to download the installer, Apple says it is from an unidentified developer. I don't know of any other fixes to try. Can anyone help?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

To make a one-time exception to the security policy, follow these instructions. They apply to Installer packages and other installable items as well as applications.

Some defective software installers may fail when Gatekeeper is enabled. Think carefully about whether you really want to run such an installer. If you do, temporarily change the setting to

Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere

When the installation is done, revert the setting.

Some applications that don't have a developer signature have been reported not to launch the first time unless Gatekeeper is disabled. The warning message from Gatekeeper is that the application "is damaged and can’t be opened." Again, think carefully about whether you want to trust the application. If you do, disable Gatekeeper as above, launch the application, and then re-enable Gatekeeper. If you still get the warning, delete the application.
